StepIR Issue I'm Stuck On 20 Meters
#1

IF you were on the 10 meter net Tuesday, you remember me saying my SWR was high. Yesterday I noticed high SWR on all bands. I got a hold of StepIR IT Technical Support and they sent along some tests to check the antenna and controller. Well it seems that the controller is, (almost), dead,
only one element is being driven. While I was checking the controller again today I could see some whiffs of smoke coming out of the air vent. It looks like I am going to have repair, replace or swap out the controller and with shipping from WA this could take about a week. The antenna was sitting at the high end of 20 meters when I disconnected the box so it looks like I won't be able to get back to 10 and 6 meters for the nets at least for a week.

Someone please call the 10 meter net next Tuesday.

Thanks
