Dave G0MRF was sending QRS CQs at about the same time. At 0458z Dave's
signal faded out during the letters of the 2nd call.....Oh dear it looked
rather like the FETs were objecting to being wakened up so early on a

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.
