R-7000 in the rain
 

Hi,
When it rains the VSWR of my Cushcraft R7000 rises (10:1) on all bands. It
is about 1.5:1 when dry.
Has anyone an idea?
TNX in advance.

=======================

Yes. I'm reluctant to state the obvious. Dunno what an R7000 is, but if
you have a balun or loading coils or traps, is rain water getting into one
or other of them ? Looks like you'll have to find a ladder.

Also, are the traps installed upside down?/
