Cantenna Problems

[Bob and Bettina Groh]

I've got the same problem so I would be interested in the solution(s) that might 
be presented. It may be possible to 'over-analyze' this problem (something I do 
a lot) and maybe one should just go and use the SS hose clamp and see what 
happens - e.g. poor conductivity, possible chemical or metallurgical reactions 
with the resistor terminations, etc.  Maybe I'll have to glance at mine to see 
what seems doable.
