[600MRG] XSV only RX until further notice....

[Neil Klagge]

When I went out to re-tune the base coil tonight in the light rain, I
discovered an arcing (sizzling sound). Then I saw the arc and a tiny bit of
flame between the base insulator and the mounting plate. I had to shut down
the TX so I am only receiving decodes for the rest of the night.  I will
re-evaluate the base insulator situation in the daylight after the rain
quits, which may be more than 24 hours....

73, Neil
