I doubt that is the problem, as this baby has been under cover and
babied over the past dozen or so years. I will check the little
grille on the dash for suction, however. I swapped in another klima
relay this morning so she can test it on the road later today.

the ends...

At least there was a tower involved, to some degree. After dropping the

Our local airport is only staffed part-time. If you are landing at
night and there's nobody in the tower, you double-click your mic on a

protocol.
