No Go For ARRL 10-Meter Contest At KA3DRR

I'm not sure what is happening with the FT100 but it simply refused to load on 10- and 12-Meters. Standing wave ratio was sky-high and the watt meter went of the register at 1-watt. I said it in a previous post, "...A whole lot of lesson learned."

I hit my envelope of understanding and can't put a happy face on this one. It's a bummer. That means a 'no-go' for this weekend on 10-meters until my problem is fixed.

However all is well on other bands and the propagation numbers are amazing -- solar flux indice (SFI) 82, A-index 0, and K-index 0.

If it ain't contesting then its ragchewing. Look for me on 30- and 18-Meters this weekend.

Contest on.
