50.125:
Antenna not loading-will have to check connections.

Ran 2m portion of net at 60w from IC9700 (barefoot).
TE-1410g amp failed last week . found 30A fuse open and could not remove 
it from fuse cap (apparently welded).  Does not portend well for the 
amp.  I will build 500w amp once fully moved into the new hamshack.

5F at start of net and inside temp was 40F
reached 55F by end of net, so my 3kw of baseboard heat will eventually 
suffice.  I keep new hamshack at 40F when when not occupied. I came out 
at 7:30 to set thermostat to 68F. Smart Thermo requires smart phone app 
to program it (lost my cell on Oct. 26).
