I had rearranged and cleaned up some untidy switch box cables Friday afternoon.
But I had neglected to hook things up right.
As a result, a few hours before the test started, I made several QSO's in broad
dayligh using my RX loop for transmit :-). When I switched over to transmit
antenna in the middle of a Q then we knew I was cooking with gas :-). I went
out and inspected the terminating resistor and while a little darker than usual
it seemed to have survived!
