I forgot to mention the reason why I posted a picture of the amplifier yesterday. When Juha installed the new coil in the amplifier it went ’boom’ on 24 MHz. Apparently the new coil was resonant on 24MHz and not exact like the old one. Anyway, nothing broke. It works like a charm again. This night we kinda gave up because of the dead bands, I think everyone had a descent nights sleep. We were awarded with good conditions during the day. 10m was amazing towards USA! Winds has been increasing during the day. This morning it was calm and in the afternoon winds were powerful, it started to rain, and we had to move the HF9V wich was almost hit by the waves, and would probably have been gone by now since winds are above storm level now. Unfortunatly, we just had another ’pop’ this evening. Me and Teemu was taking a very nice sauna (seen in another post), when we got back there was several power outages and the high winds caused the wind generator to go bananas. It procuded so high voltages that the controlling unit and the power inverters jumped into failure mode. After some phonecalls and resetting of units, it was decide to turn off the wind generator and just run from the batteries thru the inverters until the backup diesel generator kicks in and load up the batterys. Hopefully the wind will calm down during the weekend and the wind generator could be used again. Teija and Liisa, our hosts from the Finnish Lighthouse Society also does some blogging of our stay, see: http://www.majakkaseura.fi/eng/market/market_diary_2011/diary_041011/ http://www.majakkaseura.fi/eng/market/market_diary_2011/diary_051011/ Official OJ0X blog: http://www.qrz.com/db/OJ0X
