Dave,

If your window line uses solid conductors (a lot of them do), you may have a broken connection on one side or both near or at the potted center insulator. I suspect that is what has happened with my ZS6BKW, which tends to show SWR jumps when it is windy outside. My suspicion is that one side of the window line has broken, and the wind causes the joint to make/break, resulting in SWR jumps.

So far, I've not been able to confirm this, as the pulley at the top of my telescoping mast is jammed, and I'll have to take the whole mess down to inspect it.

Hope that helps.

73,
