| When
trying to complete a JT65 sked with KR7O on the 27th of December, 2003, it
was apparent that I had a problem with my TX, there was rather a lot of RF
flying around the shack that shouldn't have been there. The fault was found
on a piece of LDF4-50 cable seen on the right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This cable
left the shack through a stone wall and, i guess with wind etc, it had
rubbed on the stones, and perhaps cracked the plastic outer sheath, anyway,
you can see the result, and the reason for what turned out to be a very high
SWR! As there was evidence of burning on
the receive line as well, i've replaced both TX and RX cables. |
