Default TA-33jr smaller element stuck in larger element.
I have a very old Mosley TA-33 Jr antenna and one element; the smaller tube
is stuck in the larger tube. This is the middle tube and only 3 foot long
and about 3/4 inches in diameter with about 1 inch sticking out of the
larger tube. I have tried pulling then apart with a bumper jack and vice
grips but have had no luck. The elements are not bent nor do they have any
dents. I suspects oxidation of the elements is the problem. I have also
tried using ammonia but no help. Any suggestions on pulling then apart would
be greatly appreciated. .
