Hello Alan / Group.

Managed a brief QSO with Steve (569 here 559 received) and heard Laurie G3AQC 
at 579.
A good time of the morning with low local QRM and with DCF39 about 4dB above 
daytime levels.
At 05.00 I looked out of the window and saw the surrounding houses 
illuminated in a soft blue/white light that was sending slow CW!
Many stairs, but only a few seconds later, I arrived in a smoke filled back 
garden where I attended to the fire that was previously my loading coil.   

The FETs survived.
