Over the weekend I turned on the rig to see if there was any activity. There was a little but as is the case there was a small problem. In keying up or pressing the ptt as it really is after tuning up the rig tripped out. All within tune but it went off with about 75 watts.
I'm thinking that the cables are at fault rather that the antenna. The combination of salty air and high winds tends to destroy things very quickly. I will obviously need to upgrade the cabling to extreme Cumbrian cable in the spring and stick to vhf until its a but nicer outside. Shame really.
This means I will have to pull my fingers out and get something for the loft.
