Ant:  6ele at 18m , 6ele at 18m , 4ele at 14m

Main linear broken on friday morning. So I have to rebuild the complet stn
setup.
Saturday was without any problem. But the band closing a little to early at
20:30 UTC.
Then in the night the storm began which lasted until Monday.
When I wanted to turn antenna 1 to NA I realized that signals not coming
stronger.
I looked to the tower and see the ant playing somewhere in the wind.
One hour later the same with ant 2. So I climbed up the tower and fixed the ant
2 dir 280 dgr. 
This cost me about 45 min and nearly the same time to find a new frequency.

Can anything happen more ? Oh yes !
The FT 1000 refused to make anymore power. Sometimes for 5sec all was ok then
nothing .
So I closed the stn at 17:30. 

For the future it's necessary to make the rig ready for SO2R inband QSO's.
Iff you leave your running frequency, for more than 20s to work a new mult.
And come back agn to your old running freq ,the discussion begins ,hi.


So tnx for the QSO's and maybe 2014.
