Dave,
    How did you isolate the faulty amplifier?

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was seeing numerous, low spurious low
level signals in my 160 meter Hi-Z 8 circle array.  The array showed some
directivity and did not pick up weak signals.  After consulting with Lee
(who was very responsive and helpful) I did some troubleshooting and
isolated the problem to one of the element amplifiers.  The receiver went
?bonkers? with low level junk as soon as the antenna element was connected
to the bad amp.  It appears likely that it was going into oscillation.  I
installed a new amp and the array is back working well.  Just wanted to pass
this along in case someone else ran into a similar situation.
