WLLH Lawrence update

[chris2526]

There has been some major progress with WLLH Lawrence.  The building 
management has finally done  the necessary work that restored the
operation of the elevator and electrical system..

The new Harris DAX-1 transmitter has been installed....operating perfectly 
into the dummy load but there appears to be a serious problem with the 
rooftop antenna system.  Roof access is no longer easy,  the management 
finally heavily secured the roof to stop the illicit stairwell activities 
that at times worked their way into the penthouse elevator room or onto the 
roof.

I suspect I may find the copper pipe transmission line missing, it crosses 
the roof to the insulated bracket where the shunt feed starts.
The foldback is so violent starting when the power gets to 10 watts, it 
probably is looking at no load at all so my theory about the transmission 
line ripped off  is likely to be a good bet.
Can't even put minimal power to operate the bridge......will find out 
tomorrow
when I see the rooftop.
If the problem is not an obvious quick fix I will be soon be spending some 
quality time with Al Warmus or Derrick Gorman.
But there is now light at the end of the tunnel.

Note to David Allen Boucher, I'll email or call you very soon!
