Hi Dave,
I've just had a bit of a disaster!
http://www.wireless.org.uk/newspic38.htm
As discussed with Peter recently, I don't use an RF current meter
for day to day antenna adjustments - I've always favoured 'tuning
for maximum smoke' too!
Seriously though, thanks for sharing your unfortunate
experience. You're not the first to have their LF loading coil
catch fire (and I doubt that I was the first, either), so it is a
timely reminder for all those using indoor loading coils (or
loading coils close to the house) to be especially careful.
I hope that you can re-build the loading coil and ATU hut soon.
Regards to all,
Steve GW4ALG
