NOTES:  I had a good time Saturday running on 15 meters.  Line noise spoiled 
20 meters for me.  None on 40 or 15 though.  Can't figure that one.  Then as 
the system warmed up a parasitic developed.  I don't know what frequency it 
was on but the reflected power meter pegged @ >5:1.  I thought I'd fixed it 
Friday but it was an intermittent problem.  It turned out to be the key line 
to the RTTY TU.  I'd put an RF choke on the cable a year or so ago but it 
needs more than that.  The trap was that as I looked for the problem things 
cooled down and it went away.  So I'd sit down to operate and as the rig 
warmed up again it came back.  Lost a lot of time Saturday diddling with 
that.  20 meters was sure quiet on Sunday. 15 wasn't much better.
