[Elecraft] SSB Net .. oh oh

2012-04-15 Thread Dale Putnam

My apologies, to everyone. My wishful thinking.. and optimistic outlook got me 
into trouble. I've been watching the weather all morning... with flurries and 
fits of rain... and a never ending stream of wind.. no problem.. been there 
done that. The antennas are up.. the feedlines doing well.. so we're on for the 
net at noon. No problem... What I failed to consider.. was simple. I reached 
for the feedlines... to connect to the tuners...and promptly got smacked. Not 
once.. but three maybe four times before I could turn loose. The dry wind build 
up enough of a charge to make it impossible to get the net undeway, with the 
big antennas.So.. ok.. that's still doable.. use the back up antenna.. it is a 
low dipole, and open line fed, and short.. and that ... unfortunately, has 
decided to lose its feedline. So.. I apologize, I thought I had covered it. But 
rather.. got covered.Thank you to all that jumped in and managed anyway.  I'll 
see you next week.
