Default pictures!

Pictures!
Does your installation look like the second photo, with the coax looped over the high current part of the antenna?
It should look like the first photo, with the coax going toward the ground leg, and then into the wing.
Remember that at 330 MHz a half wavelength is only about 18" (less in the coax) so that loop might do something strange.

I'm at KLVK (east of SFO), not exactly close, but if you want to fly up I'd be willing to swap SL-30's. My GS works fine.

Are you referring to the old pics in the build log?
I have changed it since then and routed it per Bob's instructions, but it didn't do much difference.
I will try to take some pics this weekend and hopefully we can see if something is wrong. I am also curious about EMI from the strobe, nav and landing light in the vicinity of the wires and antenna....
