[Elecraft] DB-36 issue

[Fred Jensen]

Yes.  There was a thread on this subject a few weeks ago.  I use a large 
[~150 ft elements] dipole fed with ladder line and a DXE balun.  It's 
been up long enough that the connections between the elements and the 
line [copper split nuts] have corroded.  At random times, especially 
when I haven't been transmitting for awhile, the receiver gets very 
quiet and the noise disappears off the bottom of the P3 baseline.  One 
dit will restore things.

What is a DB-36?
