Fine afternoon. JS8 on Eltinger Blick JN48ls86
Back on the air! Replaced a BS170 and performed quality control with a jeweler’s loupe.
😁 Failed BS170 on the source leg (Q8 on rev 3, QDX). Family thinks I’m nuts for being happy, but great chance to learn more about what happened! Good reports and QSOs on FT8 just before the smoke.
