    All bands.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Have a look at the ALC adjustment potentiometer. There's also a gain compensation adjustment pot on the PA board which is used to set the effective predriver gain on the upper (20-30MHz) PA range.

    You may find the following article to be of use. The drifty resistor bit is among the first things I would check:

    Sorry I missed this, busy evening.

    Did get 5W0M on 10 CW on Saturday. Early afternoon, could barely copy him, forgot about it while doing some other things. Late afternoon, 59+20, once I figured out his split, 1 call.

    Hey, Eddie: if 10m opens up again this afternoon, you want to try for a QSO?
