That's what happens when you are running in the AM mode with the VOX turned on and you forget to turn the radio off before you turn the "Hi-Fi" or Television on. Screaming kids and loud XYLs don't help.Quote:

Nice rig, Charles.
Now it's Heartbreak Time.
Buddy of mine had an -EE, FV-101, SP-101PB, YO-101, FL-2100B and a YC-601 - with the infamous Brown Wire cut. He had the gear stored in his basement, on the floor. Memorial Day 1985 saw torrential rains in the form of training thunderstorm cells set up over the area. Some parts saw in excess of 4" overnight.
During all this his sump pump failed. He awoke to 2 feet of water in the basement. One can guess the fate of the gear - along with a lot of the family's possessions.
I always liked those two old classics.Quote:
