[TowerTalk] JK Mid Tri 15M Issue (K3PA)

[Drew Vonada-Smith]

Thanks everyone for great feedback.  I am still debugging.  I have been able to rule out 40M interactions (yes, it is a MidTri/40) - there is no effect on 15M under 40M open/short.  I did find a big hint yesterday -while the glitch causes a 10 dB decrease in signal when I am aimed at a station, if I am far off axis, the same glitch INCREASES signal strength.  To me, this means a parasitic element is at fault warping the pattern, and most likely the director based on the large effect.

I'll be taking the "bang on elements with a pole" while listening on my FT-817 portable approach today.
