"Snap-crackle-pop" - My 8877 amp is out of service until I solve
repeated HV arcs in the HV supply. At this point it blows everytime
I key PTT at which the G3SEK board disables with Anode alarm. So I
thank the 21 stations I worked last night - it was fun while it lasted.
I will now open the HVPS and troubleshoot. Probably going ahead with
conversion to capacitive filter and other mods I have previously
described. The flashes are coming from the PS so something is
breaking down under load. If it is the existing oil caps they can be
replaced. If it is the HV transformer - well I don't know. Stay
tuned for more entertainment ;-)
I will set up for 432, as planned, starting at 1200z Oct. 31 and
running to 2000z when I run into my azimuth limit.
