I have a quick fix remove outer sleeve of antenna by removing rain cap and stinger remove both hex bolts at top of antenna remove outer sleeve locate 3 silver bearing covers spray wd40 into each opening DO NOT REMOVE THE SILVER COVERS JUST SPRAY UNDER THEM wipe down tube then go to the top and wipe exposed copper wire where the copper wire coil comes out of the shaft tube spray a small amount of WD 40 wipe down then put sleeve back on then stinger and two hex bolts then rain cap put antenna back on mount tune to 40 meters then down to 6 meters then go thru each band and tune your antenna will work again.WD 40 will not hurt the antenna as it is also used to clean electronic relay contacts.This worked for me and no more stuck jammed ATAS 120. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
