Hi Chuck, Glad it was only a broken solder joint. I've had my T2X since 1980 and the potentiometer in the rotator is just starting to give me trouble. I have the parts, just need the time to take it off, disassemble, clean, and update the wiring connectors. At least mine is at the bottom of the tower. You and the family stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Chuck when I solder to a tab like that I like to make a u y/u shape on the wire end then pinch it with pliers on the clean fluxed tab. I pretin my wire end then shape. Put on tab then solder it then I slide a piece of heat shrink over it so when if it ever breaks I need to reattach all the wires and heat shrink 😳🤔 but that’s how I do it and worst case it breaks off and has a intermittent contact making it harder to locate 🤣

I also spotted ladder line fed diepole. Might want to upgrade from that store bought ladder to 4” open spaced feedline I bet you would see a huge 2db gain on 100w 😉 Nice alligator helping hands too.

Kevin I was setting here thinking how you saw my ladder line in the shack Lol, then I realized you saw it outside. Yea for the sake of staying married I will keep the stuff I have it works well unless we get rain. I know I could do better but the Wife keeps tabs and she did let me do the tower!

@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures I understand. If you change your mind and check out The Toad Harbor Net Facebook page. A vid of Randy making the 4” spaced open with electric fence ribbed isolators and 13” wire ties. Really does not look that bad. I use black 12awg thhn. 😉 but I’m getting Divorced and it’s cost almost 20k so far so totally understand staying married ☺️
