WAZU Smoke Test on 11.532 MHz - Sunday Nov 1st @ about 1900

Gonna put a new exciter and dipole through its paces today.  Power level will be held low - probably about 50 watts PEP.  Catch me if you can...

Update at 1920 - I zorched a snubber cap in the linear amp but the exciter is running barefoot at about 10 watts PEP and will remain on for several hours.  A good QRP test if Cuba can resist running numbers today...

Off at 2355.  Exciter worked flawlessly.  I'll make repairs on the linear and try again soon.  Thanks for trying!
