[Elecraft] [KX1] Power drops after a few minutes of CW xmitting

[Mike WA8BXN]

Chip, 
 
Can you shed a bit more light on the situation? I assume that the connection
problem at the base of the antenna would raise the SWR. I don't think the
KX1 samples the SWR to limit power out when its high. So I am not sure what
is really going on. I'm glad you found the problem and have a solution, but
I sure would like to more understand what was going on!
