Well, she lives. Even got the case to close. No smoke and first QSO was over the mtns to Chattanooga, TN (frm western NC). Got a 559 report on 40 mtrs. Power out on 40 mtrs using 13.8 V PS is 4 watts...that seems right. Power out on 20 mtrs using same PS is only 2 watts. Is that right? 73/Crit/K4BXN
