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:::  


Hi Andy,
Sorry you ran into troubles with the final amplifier and drift.
I was wondering could you run JASON on 160 meters some 
time? That would be fun to look for and see how it does
on a higher frequency.
