My tale of woe and intrigue:
Just walked in the shack and sat down and noticed the meter on the K2
was lighting... very nicely I might add, in a nice little pattern.
Then I noticed the external wattmeter was showing about 5 watts.
I don't know how long it had been sending dits into the dummy load,
but it was at least since last night!
Yes, other than being warm, nothing seems out of wack on the rig -
normal power output everywhere.
What was the problem? a plug came kind of loose on my set of paddles
that goes into a box I made so that I can have all my keys and
computer hooked up. It was loose enough that it got the rig sending
dits. For at least the past 24 hours.
Why didn't I notice? I had my headphones plugged in.
This is now part of SOP at station NV0U = don't just put the antenna
on the dummy load - unplug the stinkin' key box when closing down for
the night.
