After shutting down the rover rig in Montour County, I ran into a car problem.
We got everything put away, and tried to start the car with immediate problems.
The car would turn over but would not start.. I won't bore you with details, but
on Monday we found out something had happened with the security on the ignition.
The dipole was basically 25 feet over the top of the car, but nothing was being
drained from the car since I was using a small generator.
The question is this.. Could the 100 watt TS2000 have done anything to the
security of the vehicle. The key to start the car was somewhat worn but we have
never had a problem like this before. Since going to the garage and having the
car reset, there has not been a problem since. We are going to have new keys
made.
By the way. Don't ever get stuck near Danville on a Sunday night and try and use
AAA.. It took us over three hours to get a tow truck. But thanks to AAA Plus, we
got a 50 mile tow, for free.
