Bob, Try just using the good variable in series by itself. Often all you need (no omega match)73/Jon AA1K

I've used a 1000PF vacuum variable and a second vacuum variable for a omega match configuration. Last week, I added a 2 EL 40 meter yagi to the tower and removed an OptiBeam 30/40 rotary dipole. Of course, with the additional top loading, the match is out of wack. When I attempted to adjust the series capacitor, it appears to be frozen and won't move. Any thoughts on how to possibly fix the CAP or does anyone have a 1000PF vacuum variable available for sale. I'd sure like to get this resolved quickly. 73, and thanks in advance for your input.
