Soapbox : Started late Fri nite on 40 - very noisy, and only got worse. Finally
started working some JA's and others to the west until the noise ate almost
everything. Decided to quit and wait till sunrise to continue. Went to swing
the beam around, and it was stuck (frozen precip) at 300°. So I shut
everything down, including disconnecting cable connectors to RCS8V and RT-21
rotor control. Up at sunrise only to discover rotor still stuck - and so it
went all day. Busted rotor, right? Got back on early Sun AM, and with the beam
still pointed west had a good time into JA+ for awhile until I decided to QRT.
Went to shut everything down again - lo and behold I hadn't reconnected the
RT-21 cable connector! LID! TO, U Elmered a LID!
