Hi All I have just had an e-mail from Jon VE1FTL timed 4:45pm Fri 7th.
------------------------------------
Well, we found the problem today. A switching regulator in the
exciter's DC power supply was oscillating and causing many, many spurs.
The transmitter is back in service now.
----------
I recounted some of the signal strengths quoted and the fact that Mal could
hear it all day.............

Yes, and am really impressed by the range. Often our end-users
(the ships) will complain that they just can't hear the signal. Now I can
tell them to listen more carefully (HI).
-----------------------
I dont know whether the 'problem' indicated that the mod we were seeing was
a fault condition or whether the problem occured during service and caused
it to be taken off. Still it looks like it should be back this evening.
