Hi Doug:  I hope so anyway... Unless something else goes awry, I think it was in one of
my slug tunable loading coils... The hair thin wire used in the coil had come loose from one
soldered connection point... I couldn't see it because the wire was still touching the post..
I caught it when I changed a clip lead from one post to the other on the coil and noticed that
signals just " went away "... you can see that in the captures... a 20 minute blank spot...
After some re-soldering, and electrical taping; I seem to be receiving OK.. Signals will te;;
the whole story... I did re-discover something while soldering the wires to the coil posts.......
It's not advisable to try it after 4 cups of coffee !!! di di di dit - di dit
 
73, and good DX to you:
