"those last five will include a lightning storm over my house or someone like W3LPL moving next door."
Been there, done that! 1) Antenna struck by lightning while radio was on. Can you say bye-bye antenna, coax, radio, power supply, computer, monitor, rig interface, etc.? 2) Lived next door to Jim Lawson's (W2PV) super-station in Schenectady, New York. When he was on the air, you could hold a 4 foot long florescent lamp in your hand and walk in my side-yard and it would flash along with the CW. Kept me off the air most weekends. These days I'm pretty sure that my K3 would survive #2. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
