Greetings all:

I didn't discover it until late Sun night, but " XR " had blown one
of the finals out, so from at least early Sat. it wasn't Xmit-ing.
I replaced the transistor, and the beacon is back on now. I will let 
it run next week, and try to monitor the output a little more often.
Don't usually blow transistors, but in the summertime, static
buildup on the ant. can pop one.

73's from one of the Sub-Basement bands, and about as QRP as it gets.
