I would take each piece apart a little, put some no-alox or penetrox on all
the joints and reassemble - one joint at a time until I had done them all.
It would probably be a good idea to use some emery cloth on the joints
first.
Probably oxidized alum joints. Alum oxide is an insulator, so the electrical
joint compound will probably fix it.

I will try to describe it best I can.

Its something loose but cant tell from Visual

10 meters when I rotate the antenna will go Numb as the antenna moves
and wiggles. It will settle down when it stops sometimes. but If i
tx and drop it will come back to hearing. Anytime the wind blows does
the same thing.

NOW here is the weird part, If I rotate while KEY DOWN ... SWR stays
flat .... but I unkey and it goes numb while moving.

Weirdest thing Ive seen. Driving me nuts too.

Im thinking trap but if it was loose it would stay that way i would
think



Help, going crazy.
