I finally got enough stuff straightened around in the old DX-100 to get
it cranking out RF power on 160, 80, and 40 meters. There is more to do
but I hear lots of stations on top band and thought maybe I would just
slip it back into the cabinet and get on the air - do the rest *later*.
I turned the power off and decided to feel some of the power supply
parts for *HEAT*. I near burned my fingers on the filter cap for the
"low" voltage supply!
I have all the caps. Maybe I can get those in and on the air before
everybody goes to bed. I think there will be contest and sprint activity
through tomorrow some time. I do have to assemble terminal strips etc to
get it all done but there is hope now.
160 sure is a "target rich environment" right now.
73,
