TopBand: RE: Tower used as vertical

[Peter Chadwick]

When bypassing control cables, be careful of what capacitors you use. I
tried small, cheap 50v dc, 0.1 mFd ceramic discs. They literally caught
fire from the 28v AC for the motor of the T2X. \i've gone to 0.01mFd
750v dc discs now.

>From here, ending up with the beam pointing due south in a 70MHz contest
is a no-no!
