Christmas Day 1967. Snow falling heavily.
I had a 2 element Cubical Quad at 50 feet. Separate feed lines for 3 bands. I heard a loud CRACK. I kept occurring. Like an ignorant operator I had not grounded the unused feed lines. I finally realized that the coax was arcing at the PL 259. I grabbed it with my hands. I won’t do that again. Fifty + years ago I was still learning. I continue to learn from my mistakes 73 Jim W9VNE/VA3VNE Sent from my iPhone ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
