As a matter of fact... We have that 'uselss' "T" hanging out there on the end of RST (for CW ops). One year while on the way to Field Day a component lead broke in the bias supply filter in my transmitter. My first two contacts gave me a zero for the T and I retired the transmitter for the weekend. We really should mention it if we observe a problem. Hams should not feel offended if they get a report like that and reporters should be matter of fact about it and not insulting. My experiences with incidents like that are much better than what has been described in this thread. 73, Bill KU8H _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
