[TowerTalk] Acom 2000 issue

[Jeff Blaine]

A local has one of those - he's very active in contesting and dx so the 
amp gets used a LOT.  Excellent amp but super sensitive to feedline & 
switching integrity.  I think in each case he has tracked it down to 
something out in the field.  Based on the description I would guess 
there is a problem outside somewhere.

I am guessing that there was minor arcing in the antenna tape or other connection after being exposed to constant salt spray for several years.
