Hi Bill,
The center conductor was broken and intermittent in the middle of the 8 Ft
Jumper.  We replaced it with a piece of 213 with stranded center
conductor.  It should do fine now.  I don't know what the heck I was
thinking when I did that.  In the process we also discovered a badly burned
PL-259 and the SO-239 on my antenna switch.  Got that fixed.
