Well, as the propagation gods would see to it, Kevin was 589 on 20m when
he started to call the net and announced his need to QRT and ground his
antennas due to large electrical displays overhead.
On the other hand, he was 439 on 40m when I was about to QNI. I've got
some problem in the KAT100 or the K2/100 on 40 because it appears to
tune and work fine until I send for a little bit, and then the SWR (as
displayed by the KAT100) goes berserk and everything shuts down. It
happens with the KAT100 on, and with it in CAL mode when I use the
outboard antenna tuner. Everything works OK at 800W with the
TS-850/SB220, so I'm not thinking of a problem in the DX Engineering
balun at the bottom of the tower. Besides, it's rated at 10KW and 14KV.
Kinda thinking it's RF somewhere where it shouldn't be, but haven't
had time to look into it. I'll take the KAT100 out of the system and
see what happens.
Anyway, I tried.
