[CQ-Contest] Source for ICE 419 Filters

[jukka.klemola at nokia.com]

I did 80m coils myself.. air core.
Not difficult rehersal.

MFJ analyser & 47 ohm resistor as
measurement setup.

My interpretation is the root cause was
40m fundamental plus 80m 100W.
Together they released the smoke out of
the filter.

Now works fine.
