KA1GJU@PCARC Server is cured!

Had a bad case of Sciurus carolinensis or Tamiasciurus hudsonicus!
Grey squirrel or Red squirrel decided to chew on the insulation, and wires of the antenna about 4' from the 9:1 unun. Both ends were stripped about 2" so I wrapped the two back together and taped. I formed a loop and attached a tie wrap on it to hold it together for the time being. RG11 was layed on the ground back when the ground was frozen and there's another 50' or so of excess. Will move the unun another 50' away from the PCARC clubhouse and associated RFI from LED replacement fluorescent bulbs soon.
