WH6A qth Took surge hit Friday station off air.  Restarted Sunday a.m., looked 
good.  Sometime during the day station locked on xmit due to computer 
latching serial ptt port high for an unknown reason.
I was generating unmod carrier for perhaps 10 plus hours on 145.05 using 20 
watts beaming east from Ormod beach near US1 and SR40.  This may have caused 
dab5 and perhaps DB EOC to be "deaf" to desired signals on .05
The problem is gone, and will be monitored closely for reoccurrence.  Also 
checking documentation and settings for watchdog timer on the transmitter.
The WH6A-10 telpac node on 145.05 is again operational also.
