[Boatanchors] DX 100

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

Sound to me to be a mica capacitor that is used to resonate 160/80 meters. 
Some mica capacitors had a problem where a plate would come disconnected 
from the endplate. With temperature it would reconnect and change the 
capacitance.

This is a guess, having not seen the DX-100 but replaced a number of mica 
capacitors for this problem
