"My head hurts now"
That would be un understatement. The Blackhawk had nothing to do with the work that I was doing in Bethel, but this view from the tower shows were I have spent the last two plus weeks pounding my head against the wall.
The localizer in the background was hosed. Intermitently. the worst kind of electrical problem in the world. She would work perfectly and then go bonkers.
Denny and I stripped it down and rebuilt it, thought for sure that we had the problem corrected. (insurt Murphy's law here) Only to have her do it again.
In the long run, a cold front, a litte rain and some dew finally got me on the culpruts tail. One, that's ONE, cable had a melted shield at the farthest bend of an antenna. Add a little temperature change, moisture and resistive loading, bingo, you have a drifting system. Add warmth, a little wind and bingo she is good again.
This time I caught it! She is fixed...and I am off to another adventure...
