[DX-CHAT] fire danger in amp
I just had a scare After a 6 month of being off, I turned on my Ten Tec Titan (the first version) and it blew the fuses with a big arc in the amp box. Of course, I put in new fuses and turned it on again (without checking for interior faults--first mistake) thinking it was an arc in the final tank, maybe. With new fuses, I turned it on again. This time a huge pop and flash in the power supply box (separate from the amp box), smoke, smell of burning, AND A FIRE INSIDE THE POWER SUPPLY ! The fire showed real blaze inside for about a minute and then lots of smoke came out. The point of my story is that I had the power supply sitting on a piece of cardboard on top of a wall-to-wall carpet, and it was under my bench in a tight spot with a very heavy rig in a cardboard box in front of it. Morale is that if it had burned a bit longer, it may have caught my house on fire and it was placed so that jerking it out was very difficult. I did get it out with great difficulty and put it outside on the concrete deck. I do have a master AC kill switch which I turned off fast, but .. Somthing to think about when placing radios in hard-to-reach spots.

[DX-CHAT] CY9 card museum
Hi, Thanks to WB2LEZ and G3IQF there are a few more CY9 cards on the page. I'm not too sure how many to put per page, so it isn't too slow to view? Anyway, thanks for the quick response. Please take a look and if you have any cards not yet up your help would be appreciated. I do have cards from the operations I took part in, but heaven only knows where they are in all my stuff savlaged from the house fire. 73 for now, and gud DX, Duane, WV2B"Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm."- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

[DX-CHAT] CY9 QSLs
Hi folks, I have decided to try to create an on-line qsl museum for expedition cards from St. Paul Island, CY9. some have been published on the internet, but over time seem to disappear. Please look at the page; http://www.stpaulisland.net/cy9qslmuseum.html If you have any CY9 cards in your collection you could scan and send to me in jpg format it would be greatly appreciated. Many of my cards and St. Paul items were lost in a recent home fire, so any input is appreciated. Please indicate the year of the Dxpedition if it isn't indicated on the scan of the card. Thanks and 73, Duane, WV2B"Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm."- Ralph Waldo Emerson.
