The last I think you were saying on another thread you had going was that you were talking to a Tech who you were going to bring it to. Well what was wrong and what did he do to repair it?

Here's a link I posted once before (the popular "A99 exposed" article) that if you have any trouble with the antenna (in the future) it may give you an idea or indication as to perhaps where to look for the source of the problem for a weak link. It shows the A99 internally to see how it's constructed:

Good to hear she's up and running after all you've been thru to get that station operational !

One of the plugs was soldered on wrong. From what i gathered i had no ground.

He cut my 40' coax down to 36' and made me two 3' jumpers out of the rest.

Not sure what was wrong technically im a nube lol.
