[TowerTalk] Old beam (TH3)

[n4kg@juno.com]

Take the traps apart, clean them, tighten all the
trap screws (use NO-AL-OX at all connections),
clean all joints, inside and out, and use NO-AL-OX
(or aluminum based Penetrox) at all joints.  Put
Scotch 33 black electrical tape over the trap covers
to prevent uV deterioration.

My old TH3 worked well in the segment it was tuned for
but was disappointing on the other end of the band.  For
both modes, best to tune for CW and use a tuner on SSB.
