[HBR] troubleshooting an HBR 16-help appreciated

[Darrell, WA5VGO]

Normally the oscillator operates on the low side on every band but 80 
meters. That doesn't mean it won't work operating on the high side, but 
it's not how Ted intended for it to be. Make sure the plates of the air 
padder across the coil aren't shorted. I've seen them where the rotor 
somehow slips out of place and forces itself against the stator plates.

Good Luck,
