I spoke with Chak on 10 meters and he explained that his amplifier quit
working only on 160 meters. It's OK on 10 - 80 meters which would explain
some of the recent spots for him. He did say the vertical still loads OK on
Topband which was a real relief to hear.
His new amp is on its way and should arrive by next weekend. This will
also allow him to fire up lower in the band with full power. That assumes
someone puts on their snow boots and goes out to the vertical to cut the
jumper I left in the tuning unit.
