Grrrrr!

[Edward A. Dauer]

Is it a necessary corollary of Murphy’s Law that a multi-band Vee that has been flying just fine for nearly three years would have its feedline connections corrode and break, without being touched, on the morning of the first day of the Sweepstakes, at the highest and most inaccessible point of the antenna, and when the morning temperature (here at 8,600 ft elevation) was 9.7 F?

 Ahh!!  I remember those days well.  Back when I was a young-un  a feed line
connection went south about 3 hours into SS.  Had to climb the tower at
night with a flashlight in my mouth at about the same temp. to replace a
coax run.  Took several hours for the feeling to return to my fingers and
that was before computer keying.  My wife still thinks that was one of the
main reasons that triggered my plunge into senility.

Good luck es see you this weekend.

Please be aware that Murphy's Law was NOT written by Murphy, but by another guy with the same name.
