[TowerTalk] 40-2CD problem

[Bill Parry]

When lightning hit mine, it was obvious.  The black shrink wrap and all the
wire were vaporized on both coils on the driven element (they were white
instead of black!). I just looked at it with my binoculars.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 40-2CD problem

Hello,

 

I am reinstalling my 40-2CD.

 

He was not working, so I take it down. Seems a thunder trike hit it, because
the coaxial was burn in the top. I replace balun (I replaced balun and
coaxial to be sure the problem is not here, put it up, but still with high
SWR in all the band.

 

Maybe a problem in the traps?  Looking them seems not to be a problem.  Is
there any way to check the traps to know if someone have a problem?

 

Any suggestion how can I check it?

 

Thanks in advance!!

 

73,

Jorge
