thanks for all the input from everyone. I think I'm on the right track
from
most of your comments... sounds like either the finals, or the antenna
from
everyone's comments. By the way... its actually a transceiver. ts-520.
It is a pi-network tank circuit. The antenna here is a windom... 40
feet
on one side, 90 on the other, fed with 50 feet of 300 ohm TV twinlead.
The
transmitter goes into a Heath B-1 balun first.
Screwy tuning might be caused by losing one leg because of a broken
connection up top... or even both legs. Especially if I am just feeding
the twinlead without any legs on top.
Just trying to eliminate what I can in the shack before taking the
antenna down.... it's 40 feet up in the air.
I'll let you all know how its going...
