A few possibilities
a) you are so close to the transmitter that the clock is overloaded
b) the clock was not built with any reasonable DST algorithm
c) you live in Indiana where the DST rules just changed this year, and your
clock is from Taiwan
d) the clock you have thinks it is in Liberia where
Well, I got to the point of doing the alignment and getting the rig to

Well, no, unless you live in Indiana, where it apparently depends on
street address. I actually have done rocket science during Apollo, and
I'll take that over street addresses anytime. Last I heard, they are

Folks (especially new builders),
Perhaps I should dust off my old adage here in the reflector:
First check the soldering, then re-check the soldering, and when you have
completed that, check the soldering!
Seriously, soldering failures is the most common cause of problems. Use an

John,
Yes, 1 megohm of resistance to ground for the negative side of Ctrl Bd C13
is a problem, and yes it should be connected to ground. If you have damaged
the through-plated hole during your removal techniques, you should connect
the lead to ground somewhere on the back of the Control Board -

high-wattage iron or soldering gun since this can damage pads,

The Elecraft T1 is a nifty tuner with built in SWR and power metering that
will handle up 20 watts!
The biggest problem I have with it is that I keep forgetting where I put it.
It gets lost under a large post-it!

Have you considered the T1 tuner from Elecraft? It has a lot of nice
capabilities and a great range as well as small size.

You know, Elecraft makes a NEAT little tuner that's smaller and lighter
than anything, puts the Emtech, BLT, etc in the dark. Literally as
small and light as a pack of ciggies. I'd get one of those. 73 de Alex

I changed C31 on the RF board to 1uf but it still seems very slow. When I
remove an S9 siginal (50uv) it takes about 15 seconds for the S meter to
decay to one bar. I used a non polorized electrolitic cap as that is what
they had at RS. It is physically larger than the original cap but there
