Comments:
Thanks for the Contest. Also, thanks to all the QSOs from those kind enough to
work me.
Like the format - true DX contest!
Not as much time as would have liked for operating. At the start of the second
segment, was adjusting the amp. when heard a "thunk". First thought was a short
and the RFC was a ceramic rod with molten copper all over it. Shutting down the
station, opened the amp. Turned out the shaft coupling for a vacuum variable
capacitor slipped. This allowed the capacitor to retract. The "thunk" sound
was the vacuum cap. retracting.
73,
Mike, K4GMH
