i don't know about other guys, but my rigs break in the middle of
whatever i am doing. if my 160 meter receiver transformer starts smoking,
turn the rig off and fire up the 80 meter rig.
receivers, transmitters, power supplies, antennas, all can break at a
moments notice. when i was ZK1DRA operating CQWW my J38 key caught on
fire
remember the "Swiss cheese" theory of disaster?
