Well, at least we aren't blowing up equipment in the shack now.
But we managed to blow the PRIMARY side fusible link of the
12KV/240 V transformer outside the house!  The county rural
electric Co-op replaced it in about an hour, but the transformer
made noise (audible and RF) for the rest of the contest.

I hope the newbies remember this contest for a long time and tell
your grandkids about 10 meters.

We're looking for ops for the CQWW CW if anyone wants to join us -
Rookies Welcome!
