Hi,
yesterday I noticed that SWR on 15 m on my TH6DXX jumped up to over 3:1 (it
was raining). Today it's back to normal, but I suspect that water comes
inside the trap when it's raining. Probably the trap's cap has a crack or
whatever...
 The question is: since I have no time to fix the problem before the CQ WW
Contest, can I transmit without concern of damaging traps when it's raining?
I intend to use low power.
Thanks
