Last night was kinda exciting here. Had a 'fire' in the tuner as the weak link capacitor let go just before sunset. A quick junk box search revealed a viable solution for now and I was back on the air after some frantic soldering... Nothing like seeing the tuning go way off and a puff of smoke come out of the tuner box to get a guy running around like a mad man! 73 Scott Bill de Carle wrote: > At 08:54 PM 8/30/2010, Scott, VE7TIL wrote: >> Starting around 0100UTC >> >> Continuing the testing of the new loop TX antenna beaming 300/120 >> degrees from CN89dk. >> >> 400W 137778Hz +/- QRM on KL7UK's grabbers...
