I have been putting my shack back together after its 'makeover' (the favourite word on TV these days on doing a place up!). I connected the transceiver to the antenna this morning on the 10 metre band which was dead and tested the mini beam antenna, which looked OK. I then checked the other bands and found they were dead - it was like the antenna was disconnected. Some signals came back at 1300z. Has SID been at work? Regards, Peter, G3LDO e-mail Web
