Ok guys lets get a few things straightened out here. Number one all of the answers that were slanderous or laced with ridacule were very much uncalled for. This was not a planned operation. It was the case of one operator rising early on FD and getting on with power. This was not and I repeat not going to be used in field day operations. The operator of the K3 that was fried arose and went into an operating area completely away from the gentleman whom was operating qro and turned on his K3 unaware of the early morning dx hunter whom was just being a ham radio operator. We posted the incident hoping that someone would come up with a cure that we could apply in the field. That was all that was intended and nothing else. All here are experienced operators and would never have intentionally done this on purpose. It just is a very unfortunate incident that yes should have not happened but it did so now we will try to get it fixed and go on.
We are sorry to have cause so much trouble. I suggest this thread should end unless someone can give us a credible fix. The owner of the k3 John H Howard being allowed to post on nz0t log in as I do not have one. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Bad-start-to-FD-smoked-a-K3-tp5225225p5226294.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
