To rule out bad connections, you can connect a DC 
ohmmeter between the 10 meter and 15 meter capacitor 
shells. You should see less than 0.5 ohm (after 
subtracting ohmmeter lead resistance). This one 
measurement checks all of the troublesome connections 
for each element half.

You can also measure the resistance across the two 
halves of the rear driven element. This measurement 
checks all the connections through the phasing straps, 
matching section and balun (which shows a DC short). 
Here again you should see less than 0.5 ohm.
