[RTTY] Murphy is in the "house'!

[Tom Martin]

Lost the SB-220 Thursday due to an arcing issue.  Brought out the old Dentron MLA-2500 for the second radio.  Lost it last night.  Blowing fuses.  Filed the Tune cap on the SB-220 and it's back on the desk.

Finally got the A3S side mounted yesterday.  Minus 5 degrees F at 40 feet.  Fingers frozen but didn't drop a single nut or washer.  SWR on 10, 15, and 20 perfect in the RTTY section.

Spent several hours getting the Dell XP computer working.  Gave up on the HP Vista computer.  All of the ham programs work great in XP.  Got a second monitor USB-VGA adapter and it is slick.  First time ever using duo monitors.  N1MM looks great on two monitors.  

Now, hopefully the Pro II, Alpha 99, SteppIR station avoids Murphy.  So far, so good.

See you all in the contest.

73,
