Hi,
You are perfectly describing and intermittent open. A poor connection, cracked connection, cold solder joint. It is located in the 'unun' device and could be a bad connector like the coax connector or the terminals where your antenna wire or ground connect. I have seen this many times in a variety of circuits.

I'm finding sometimes that signals are about half of what they should be.? This happens when either Softrock is used and was going on before I starting using the filters.? As you know, I have coax feeding a 9:1 unun and the 100 foot wire attaches to that.? The unun and attachment points are right outside the window and I can easily reach outside to access the area from inside.? Now when I experience the signal loss, if I just wiggle the unun slightly or just barely move it, normal reception is returned. At first, I thought the wire 100 foot wire might be contacting ground and shorting out somewhere, but that is not the case.? Any ideas welcome.
