Comments: How things change in a week! Murphy followed me around
for a solid 12 hrs! First, my power supply started acting up. Would
drop down to 10.5 volts and blank out my freq. display. Turn it off for
a while and it starts working again. No problem, I'll switch to my
battery backup. Oops, battery has not been charged for 6 months and
reads 11.5 volts. Okay, charge the battery with my 10 amp charger and
let it charge during receive. Heck, still drops down to 10.5 volts! My
sister calls and her car battery is dead (nothing wants to stay at 12
volts!) so, even though I've already used over an hour of off time in the
first three hours, I go help her out. Get back and figure battery should
be charged up a little by now. Darn, after five minutes, starts dropping
to 10.5 volts again! Find out Sunday that the battery has a bad cell.
It will never see 12 volts again! Couldn't get a run going on any
frequency so I just s&p'd trying to keep transmitting to a minimum.
Anyway, I'm ready for the 160 mtr test this weekend. Got the supply
fixed, I hope, but if it goes again, I got a fully charged backup battery
ready! Three antennaes to choose from thsi weekend. Oh, by the way, did
I tell you that my dad is in the hospital and may have surgery friday or
saturday.............If everything goes well, see you all this weekend!
I, by virtue of my statement below, have taken part in the
NCJ NORTH AMERICAN QSO PARTY on 01/18/1997
conscientiously applying my most ethical interpretation of the
published rules for this contest.
