In attempting to fix the Force 12 tribander, and not having a functioning MFJ-259, I reasoned that the balun could be bad. So I fabricated this balun from scratch and installed it at the antenna, but no joy. N4RV brought an antenna analyzer and that showed the antenna to be 100% good. This led me to find a bad and damp Type N adapter at the top of the tower. I replaced that with one that N4RV brought and that cured the problem. So now we have a spare balun in stock. :)
