[Elecraft] [K3] Flickering ALC/

[Larry Lopez]

Executive summary, intermittent connections in a trap vertical caused the ALC
to go crazy.

I suddenly had bizarre behavior when adjusting my mike level for JT65.
When trying to get the ALC to be 4 bars it was all over the place.

It was flickering on and off and sometimes the tones were modulate at a
rhythmical rate.
Power level was pretty constant.

I thought it might be RF getting back into the shack or the PC picking up RF
or bizarre driver behavior.

I thought it might have something to with the new inverted V antenna causing
RF to get back in the shack.

None of this was the problem.

The R3 Vertical was doing.

It's been up for a very long time and when I switch to the new antenna all
the problems go away.
