[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Power Over Coax Issue

I just finished up the 8 Circle Array this afternoon, and it decided not to work.

After making sure my wiring was correct, I checked the voltage out at the RX array.

When I check it before (without the remote receiver and the phasing units connected, the volt meter
said I was getting 13.8 volts at the RX array so I thought I was in business.

Once I connect the remote receiver and phasing units, I see that the voltage drops to about 7 volts.

The feed line is about 1100 feet +/- of RG-6 coax

Should I be seeing this sort of voltage drop, and if so what type of input voltage can the power over
coax injectors can handle?

Thank you
