Comments:
Had to scrub my M/S effort when I found a bad hardline run 3 hours before
contest. I checked everything out before going to Dayton and no problems.
Saturday I started looking for the short by comparing low SWR to determine how
far out the break was. When I came up with 103ft from shack, I looked out and
just started laughing! While at Dayton my wife Susan, trying to help me, had
driven several T-Posts in an area to keep her new horse away from my beverage
termination point. She drove a T-Post dead center thru a buried 1/2" hardline
run to a tower ..unreal..
Lesson: Always send your wife shopping when you go to Dayton! : )
Congrats on all the great scores and good luck to all the WRTC boys in July!
