[Towertalk] Detuned Mosley CL-36-M

[Pete Smith]

I once took apart a Classic 36 that had destroyed itself during a 
microburst on an office building roof in Washington, DC (agency concealed 
to protect the guilty).  As I recall, it had an odd feed system that 
involved insulated wire inside the driven element, presumably providing 
some sort of capacitive coupling.  If memory isn't failing me, I'd first 
look there, because the fact that the minimum SWRS all fall in-band sounds 
more like matching than either coax or traps.
