I didn't think that the wip would go that far down. I guess what I'm
asking , is it normal for the coil to get hot when I go key down for a
couple of minutes. Has anyone had one of these apart? what kind of coil
is it? Pete N1AGV

Pete,
By any chance was the whip/upper portion of the antenna extended
down into the coil? As in a 'core' in the coil which shouldn't be
there, that sort of thing?
