[K3PZN-List] HELP REQUESTED..

[Curt Milton]

Jim

Now you have me thinking that maybe your coax or related hardware is breaking down at high power?  Not that I have any experience above 100 watts.  I don't know if there is a practical means other than replacing hardware to troubleshoot - particularly if no one has a MEGGER.  If you are a PVRC member perhaps try the reflector.  


I did learn recently that operating on 160m after midnight local is a nice time to work Eu!

Bill, 

  Thanks for the offer but the problem is somewhat more insidious than just a simple cable problem.. it only happens when running full power not at the 100 w level.
