[K6BW] Code Practice Tonight

[Timothy J. Simpson]

Well, folks, I got egg on my face.  Last night at the meeting I mentioned to Bill that I had to connect and disconnect my antenna every time I went on the air so we could lock the patio door.  Well, I had a problem.  By working the connector so often I made the ground braid connection on the coax connector intermittent.  And that made the signal level float rather than being referenced to a solid ground.  After removing the connector and resoldering it, the antenna is back!!!

This gave me problems receiving call signs tonight. I had AB6MT and KF6RMK from previous sessions, but I couldn't get the other calls clearly. Sorry.

Glad to see the interest.
