The facts:
Rig: Jupiter with Auto Tuner
Antenna: 40M dipole at about 20 feet.
Coax: 100 Feet of RG8X
Keyer: MFJ Memory Keyer
Over the weekend, we had some horrendous rain storms. This is the first time
I've ever encountered this issue, so I question whether that had something to
do with it.
Now, I'll be the first to admit, I do not have a ground on my rig. That's a
problem, I'm working out this week. (10 inches of rain this weekend should
help that actually)
Whenever I ran more than 50 watts, CW, the rig would key and then lock in a
transmit position. Turning it off and then back on would release it.
My question(s): Is this merely a grounding problem, or am I overlooking
something else? Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Thanks,
Dave, W3DMT
