[TowerTalk] FORCE-12 C-49 STACK ISSUE

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I assume that he has taken the feedline out of the stackmatch and tried 
directly into the rig bypassing any and everything along the way?  Maybe 
that is not possible.

Other then the element falling off which you would see it is hard for me 
to see how the issue could be at the antenna.

Since 15 meters is fed parasitically, it is my opinion that the problem exists on that particular driver. Before that antenna is brought down, are there any thoughts as to any other items that need investigation?
