Comments:

Difficult conditions here.  Saturday night the K3 started showing excessively
high VSWR on all bands and all antennas.  Pulled the plug and went to bed.  In
the morning I thought I might have pushed the Ant 2 button with no antenna
connected to #2.  Negative.  Later thought maybe the Ameritron RCS-8V Remote
Coax Switch might be suspect.  Bypassed the tri-bander stack directly into the
shack.  Voila.  At least I was able to limp through the rest on the contest
with 10 - 20.
