Got up this morning and heard 4W8X on 160, 80 and 40.  Worked him one call on 40 and decided to get him on 160 before he went away.  Sent call one time (actually only got ZF9C out when RF killed all my USB devices.  4W8X comes back to ZF?  I would have been screaming if Rita was not asleep!

I’m dead since my antenna switch is set up to be controlled by Green Heron switching using USB.  I restart everything and try for a while with lower  power inching it up to point of failure between 500-750 watts and then get a ferrite core to wrap cable from USB hub to computer.  That fixed it but by now it’s well after sunrise and he is two S units weaker. Went to 80 and got him on one call.  Hope he is on again tomorrow with a good signal on 160. 

73…Stan, ZF9CW
