T31A has been com ing in for several hours the last couple of nights with 
booming signals  even louder than the continuous lightning crashes from the 
midwest storms              listening to the pileups there are a lot of loud 
signals from stations all over the country calling them            he is an 
outstanding operator giving the call of the station he is calling several times 
at a reasonable speed and acknowledging the reply several times                 
 when I turned on my linear it began arcing, though, so I had to work him 
barefoot  - no problem            the trouble with the linear was a deposit of 
gypsum dust that had collected inside from the nearly continuous dust storms of 
the last month  (I live near the white sands desert)  gypsum is electrically 
conductive with even the merest trace of moisture  I keep a cloth cover over my 
equipment when not in use but the dust was so fine it got
 through anyway
