Happy New Year to all,
This morning I had a scheduled 2 Meter QSO/experiment with another amateur
north of San Francisco.
I was disappointed to find that someone had broken the plate tuning knob
on my 2 meter amplifier. It appeared that someone had rotated the tuning
knob to its extremes and snapped the shaft, but not before jamming the two
plates together. It takes many turns of the tuning knob to get to each
extreme and cause the plates to come in contact with each other.
Unfortunately I discovered this very shortly after applying 3000V to the
tube. Not a pleasant experience.
My last visit to the clubhouse was on Oct. 11 and the amplifier was in
good working order. More than likely the damage was not from a licensed,
experienced amateur or club member. Although more than a couple of months have
passed since my last visit, an examination of the clubs log yielded some
clues as to what may have happened. The damage could have occurred during the
JOTA exercise on Oct. 17. Youthful curiosity with knobs, combined with
an inadvertent, momentary lack of a control operator or supervision in the
radio room could have resulted in the mishap.
I will begin troubleshooting and repair this week.
Enough said...
We did complete the experiment using my 2 meter brick amplifier.
