WMS beacon is repaired and back on the air. 187492 hz qrss 30, best copied
 on
qrss 30 slow.
this is the fourth final failure in 18 months. Doesn't take a direct hit
 just induction
from nearby strike to kill the finals. for those of you who are building
 beacons it is 
a good idea to install sockets for the transistors. If your beacon is
 indoors a disconect switch
is recomended. My beacon is remote from the house, and I am reluctant to
 go out in a 
storm and disconnect. transmitter is Lyle Kohlers design with k1el id chip.
good luck looking for me, reports are welcome.
