I have just put up an A3WS with 30 meter add on kit.  I used an old wireman 
current balun that I believe is not working.
I need some advice on what balun to replace it with.  
I want to order one ad soon as possible to put up in the even it ever STOPS 
raining in Atlanta!
I have fought this antenna for 2 weeks climbing the tower in the rain, in the 
dark, and in the dark rain.  I am to my wits end.  If I replace the balun, and 
it still does not work, I plan on posting a video of me towing this antenna off 
the top on my tower.  
Last week I had the antenna back on the ground and disassembled every trap on 
it, and found nothing out of the ordinary.  When I put it back up in the tower 
before cranking it back up, it sat at 24 feet and functioned flawlessly.  
However, after turning my back for 5 minutes, the SWR is all jacked out of 
whack again.
Somebody recommend anything, and I'll buy at this point...
Thanks and (I would) see you in the pile ups (if this damn thing would work)!
