When I came down to the basement this morning I found that the keyer was 
locked "on". That happened sometime between about 5 PM eastern last night and 
7 AM this morning. I resset it at around 7 AM.

They keyer and oscillator had been running for over 24 hours when I started 
messing with the remote final installation. There was a lot of plugging and 
unplugging going on. I know it was keying mid afternoon, but really not sure 
if I checked if it was keying when I finished up in the shack around 5 PM.

So if you were watching, you may just have a solid line.

It is keying now and I'll probably let it run today and tonight. I'll probably 
shut it down when I leave town on another business trip mid-Monday.
