[Elecraft] RF build up

[Tom Mc]

It's my understanding (from reading another list which is addressing this
problem) that some of the RF will, in fact radiate, but that it slows down
the speed of the signal.  For example, one guy reports sending 27 WPM from
his K2 but by the time it gets through the frozen RF build-up on his
antenna, it was only 18 WPM.

With this in mind, it might be a good time for me to go for the ARRL high
speed endorsements on my code copying certificate.

Just a thought...

Happy Holidays

Considering the season, you might want to find some eggnog and see if it
helps the RF escape.  Even if it doesn't, if you drink enough, you may no
longer
be aware of/plagued by the frozen RF.
