[SFDXA] FT8 Ruined Amateur Radio!

[Randy Shirley]

Yep!  FT8 was not so kind to the balun on the lowband inverted V 
antennas at the club station as well.  Carlos N4IS has fabricated a 
balun that not even FT8 can blow up!  It should be installed there shortly!

I hope you're back on the air with full power!

73,
Randy N4QV
