Jim
Tonite (0215Z), the ZK1XXP op on 17 M told me they had had some problem
with the Battle Creek Special last eve but had found the trouble today in
"a coax fitting" (not knowing whether it be in the fitting on the special
or their coax to it?) and it was now working fine. Would be on top band
tonite (assuming that to mean their announced CW QRG of 1832). Good luck
to all.
