[Lowfer] WD2XES WSPR 137.441

[John Andrews]

Mike,

Six years of lightning and RF. It's a P&B PRD-style relay that shorts 
and grounds the loop when not in use. It has looked a little frazzled 
for a while, but finally an arc started and began burning the plastic 
between the poles. Have disconnected it from the loop and ordered a 
replacement. I'm actually amazed that it lasted this long.
