New P43 install, smoke smell, normal?

Thanks again folks. Silicone on the joint and the end of the cap fixed the smoke problem.

Passed inspection. Now I need to figure out where the hell I'm going to store 3 tons of pellets.

Awesome! I absolutely LOVE the pellets near the antenna tower. I just finished cleaning my P43 now I am enjoying some 10m fun! It's hoppin' this morning. 73

That will help with any rubber tires around the middle, just take your time and it will get done. Trust me I know what I'm speaking about having re stacked a few tons.

I just turned a radio on, IW6DRH from Italy in a damn MOBILE is just smokin in here 15db over s9, and I never even bothered rotating the beam towards him. Unreal.

Abnormally high noise level though. First time I've had a radio on since I installed my stove. I don't think it's the stove (I'll have to unplug it later to verify), but just curious, ever heard of any RF interference issues from the boards in these things?

Yep, I'll just substitute it for my trip to the gym that day. I don't mind at all

 

[76brian]

That wasn't so bad. I think I even have room for maybe another ton...

...not sure about the floor in this old shed though :gulp: lol
