Comments:

Started with high expectations since my inv L with top at 90' had been working
well. Ran a few staions for 10 minutes before sunset, then some S + P with
Europeans already fair to strong by sunset.  About 45 minutes later my Ten Tec
Titan quits, showing an infinite SWR to the TS-850 exciter although the SWR
direct to antenna was close to 1:1.  This happened once before- a bad relay?-
and the next day it worked OK again.  I tried turning the amp off for 1 minute,
5 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, but same problem.  With an hour operating at
high power (and I only run high power on 160M), I was too crestfallen to
continue at LP.  Best DX was SN7Q 16 pts and 4O3A 17 pts.  This morning the amp
worked again!  HNY.
