Murphy:
- Fired up the rig a few minutes before contest start - no signals received!
Sleuthing revealed a nicely sheared coaxial feed line. Mike didn't bury the
cable deep enough. (So not really Murphy I guess.) Lawn guy's edger won the
battle. With help from the XYL emergency repairs completed just before we ran
out of light. Little biting bugs getting pretty bad here in Florida....
- One of the amplifier's 3-500s failed to light up Sunday. Oh well, -3 db for
the day.
Enjoyed the contest. It's been a while. So there was much rust evident. Got
to resolve this issue where RF shuts down the TS-590 USB comm port. Can't
really do an assisted effort until I do so.
Thanks all and see you next fall.
Mike
TS-590, SB-221, Butternut HF9-V and W6LVP receiving loop (it would have been
brutal without it)
