The resistor in my Cantenna has gone high 90 ohms. Anyone have a spare
resistor available?

73

I have seen several cases of this ,Resistance too high.. examine the
resistor end clamps,they are made of something similar to brass. they
are brittle ,they get loose and even break.. Check the resistance at
the resistor body (not the clamp) If it is too high then you
definately need to replace the resistor..I have made new clamps using
copper and also silver...good luck W4PQW
