That sucks.
Try a fan dipole if you have time to build one, works great.
The KJ4IIF Multiband "FAN" Dipole for 160, 80 and 40 Meters
This one worked great at my FL QTH, I took the 160 meter leg off and built another 20/40/80 fan for a blind ham friend of mine, he needed a no tune antenna so the fan was the answer.
Hmmm looks very interesting.... I have day off today looks like I will be going to PHX to get some materials and try this build..
Well as I was taking the long wire down to see what was wrong....
I was also winding up the coax, And to my surprise what did I find...
A big bare spot where a damned Pak Rat had eating thru the coax cable to the center strand, What little that was left of the shield would hold 100 watts but not almost a KW
Anyone want a couple FREE lazy no good cats that do not do there job?
Be back on by the weekend **Jump_im**

Sure send them to the QTH I am sure my golden retrievers will teach them how to play fetch, dig holes, and lay land mines in the back yard
Glad you found the problem with the coax.
