Bayou Jumper Power Supply
If indeed the power cube is linear, and adequate in voltage and current - it can be tamed with a simple regulator circuit. check the QST archives to see if you can find cube tamer article - no worries

Hi-Per-Mite Question

Possible Bayou Jumper operating event
Jim well if you study 40m propagation now you may discover the band is quite long at time - so with many stations in 4 state region and about - good to have someone who is not close! wow 'Houston' is

Yeah it would sure freak some out to have 'London' as a YL or a small network on 40m ssb just above there working the BJ stations working split, maybe with a qro cw hanging around if help is needed to

Question about 4S Tuner
Tim Very unusual for a tuner not to work at all, unless wire is way to short. Check that connections are real with a dvm, once myself I experienced a connector solder joint that wasn't real but open.

As it is also nice to encourage homebrew and mods, test equipment is a great idea. I still use the Elsie inductance and capacitance meter, the one that reads in morse, that was kitted by njqrp. Let's
