What can I do (save selling it or making it a 
tomato hanger - I already have a dummy load!) with a GAP Challenger - I got 
suckered into it last year at the Miami hamfest because I dont have room for 
anything but a vertical (especially on 160M) . A few days after I bought it, 
there was a 160M contest. I was screaming my brains out and made maybe 5 
contacts. It heard halfway decent, but wouldnt xmit for crap.
Is there someone who was able to 'fix' it? And if 
so, how?
   Also, has 
anyone used trap dipoles? I had one given to me sealed in a box (Hy-Gain 5B-DQ). 
I dont want to take it out if it isnt great - (I could sell it to make back some 
of the lost cash from the GAP!)
 I do have room for this, but I have a G5RV up 
now along with an R-6000 vertical. (works good)
  Tnx - 73 Tim
