Certainly blew some fuses. Fortunately they were not the expensive 3 legged
variety.
I managed to find 4 x 30V Farnell SMPSUs at a rally. They are 360VA units and
wired in series / parallel are great for the Decca, but not so good for the
5A fuse in the distribution board we were using.
Although last night was a bit of a washout I was pleased to see the report
from Ko about the reception of Larry VA3LK. Sorry I missed it Larry.
A quick guess of Larry's QRA at FN25EL and Ko in JO22KF would put that at a
distance of apx 5630 km. If signals were 10dB down from those on Friday
night, just imagine how far Larry's QRS signal could go on a 'good day'.
The news from the /P tower block is that Sean (who passed his RAE in
December) now realises how difficult LF really is. Suitably enthusiastic he
is now trying to find a kindred spirit in the 12 story building about 600
feet to the West of his QTH.
