I ran the beacon from 2230UTC until about 0100 when I checked and found that the fuses had blown. Heat sink still hot so fairly recent. Replaced fuses and reset Dash/Dot ratio to 2:1.

Checked again at 0300 fuses blown again Heat sink cold !!!

So decided to shut down and get some sleep.

Moral, its one thing to push the TX on a winter night with lots of lovely cold air around,but on a hot summer night its a different matter. So need to think again Hi .If anyone heard/saw the transmission would appreciate a report. 73s Laurie.
