[amsat-bb] Re: Eliminating Desensing

[kc6uqh]

I  had problems on AO-40 several years ago. The problem was traced to the 
connection of a silver plated brass connector bolted to an aluminum surface 
where crossion had set in. Cleaning the connection stopped the 70 cm uplink 
from crashing my 13 cm receive.
