Rig : FT-1000MP; Icom Pro II, SB-220, Alpha 8410
Antennas : SteppIR 4 element, Mosley CL-33, HF6V, 40 Vee at 60' and 40
rotatable dipole at 80',
80 sloper at 65', and Crazy J 80 meter antenna at
48'.
Soapbox : First time achieving a million points but it was costly.
Excessive RF took out the front end of the FT-1000MP after 2 hours.
Lost 10 meters on the PRO II on Sunday. As of Monday
morning, no receive or transmit with the PRO II on any band.
I have an Icom 706 until the big rigs get repaired
or replaced.
I should have realized that something was wrong, when the wattmeter on the
MP/220 combination showed a huge backward deflection, when I keyed the Pro
II/8410 at 1200 watts. The 80 meter Crazy J was too close to the 40 Vee and
vice versa. I put up the new 80 meter antenna to see if it was better than the
Butternut. I had no RF issues in the ARRL RU without the new antenna. It's
tough on a small city lot to get any separation.
This was probably my last SO2R effort.
Dupes were the least of my problems!!!
