How does Throbbing Gristle sound in SAS mode?  This is usually one of the better stereo separated tunes I play, but QRN is a little high this evening on the remotes I usually monitor, but I can still hear the slapping going off in the one channel. ;)

Pretty cool. You can hear the clear stereo separation.

0150: Off. Uh oh, blew another tube?

Saw a bunch of distortion on the waterfall, looked over, plate current was bouncing around like a stripper's tits.  Fuse blew shortly afterwards.  Hrmph.  Things smell, *hot*.  But that might just have been a the glitch resistor cooking itself before things got out of hand.

This is what you get for using 1970s Japanese gear as an exciter ;)

Fuse replaced.  Had to pick out all of the bits of glass from the exploded fuse.  All tubes seem fine.  I think the exciter has a VHF oscillation problem.  There is a reason I put in a big fat 20ohm resistor on the B+ to stop this crap.  Transformer isn't kaput, fuses are cheap!
