[Lowfer] " XR " running JASON tonite

[Andy - KU4XR]

Good day everyone:

Something went awry overnight. When I got up this morning, the power
output on the beacon was almost off, and I could not adjust it to
ahigher level. The PA stage may have went into thermal shutdown. I'm 
not sure, but since JASON is a non-stop mode; itmay have overheated
the PA. And; the signal had drifted downward 30 Hz from where I had
set it. So there's no way anyone could have found it. Time wise, I 
don't know when this took place, but I have shut the beacon down for
now to let it rest, cool down, or whatever best fits. Thanks to all
those who have tried looking for the signal overnight.

73, and have a great weekend:::
