Best 23cm contest ever. We worked using a new PA with 32V Power supply, so three car batteries are required. 40 minutes before the end, the rig started to sound strange. Voltage check showed just above 11V to the rig. Had to go out and shift batteries around. 20Minutes later, same story, funny sounds from the rig. This time we turned down the power and continued working but no more QSO's. Funny thing. The third battery, bought at SK5LW's flea-market, for about 3EUR was the best one after four hours. 73 SM4RPP/Alf and SM4RPQ/Leif
