-- If this happened on other than on 10m RTTY, I would be concerned that
the resistors may have been crispy-crittered by a VHF parasite. If it

10 ohm, 10w is good provided it is the round, glass-coated type, about
5cm in length.

No problem, Gary. Just decree that you are a "recognized expert". After
that, you are auto-licensed to technoblather and collect lap-dogs. Go
