Hi,

I checked the ON0EME moon beacon today and found a burned out output board in the w6PQL amplifier.
The MRF13750H seems to have survived. Tomorrow I will attempt to remove the output board ( the board has been glued to the copper spreader with Silver Epoxy ) . 
I have some spare boards available.

Hope to get the repair done before next week Tuesday ( weather forecast is not very promising and will attend the GHZ meeting in Dorsten DL this weekend ) since I will be traveling to EA5 on Tuesday next week . 
If not possible due to weather it will be early March to get the beacon online again.

Their website http://www.on0eme.org/ <http://www.on0eme.org/> indicates it's operational, but I think it displays the expected state of the system, not whether there's actually any RF going out!
