[TowerTalk] Yaesu - 2700 and 3800 rotors

[Peter Chadwick]

>but what percentage of those failures were 
infant mortality or induced by external causes?<

1 probably external: no infant mortalities. While a 6L6G my father bought in 1936 for the then equivalent of 50 cents is still going strong as a series regulator tube. With the other one of the pair he bought, I guess they'll outlast me.

>it is such a battle getting crappy little parts out 
of Yaesu,<

YES!
>I bet my rotator LEDs outlast me.<

 OK, I'll take the bait and be rude, since we know each other.  At your age, is that difficult?
>CU at Dayton this year?<
The hotel (Crowne Plaza) is booked. I'm looking into booking the flights. If I go via Dallas, I can travel 1st class from there to Dayton. The question is whether the airline miles that get me 1st class to Dallas also get me to Dayton, and that I'll find out tomorrow. If not, it's via Chicago, but the flights are more convenient via Dallas. Let's just hope I don't repeat this year and go to hospital instead. At the time one should be in Hooters with the SMC guys, it's not good to be told 'you're very seriously ill and causing us grave concern'.
