Or, you could use a newsreader which does proper line wrapping,
regardless of the format proposed by the sender ...

Thunderbird is excellent, even OE can do it ...

Thanks for the lessons. I use forte Agent but just happened to be on
another computer and needed to post in a hurry.

Any chance my problem could be explored further? I have now also ruled
out the line isolator as a problem.

Actually, my response was to helmsman--your post wraps fine in my
thunderbird ... I was pointing that out to him.

I would strongly suspect the "line isolator", yes. But, first would
have some questions--I would think other here too would similar questions.

1) What are you calling a "line isolator", a 1:1 current balun?

2) Is the balun of ferrite design?

3) Toroid or bar material?

4) Is this "line isolator" a commercial product, or did you construct it
yourself?

5) What is the power handling capability of "the device?" Did you ever
run a KW or more into it?

6) The device IS constructed for xmitting, right?

7) ... probably more stuff not right on the tip of my tongue ...

Regards,

GEE, That was helpful. Please set your character count to zero and ...

Thank YOU

Take your coax loose from the isolator. Get some kind of continuity device
(VOM / battery and bulb / etc) and check to see if your coax is shorted.

If so, there's your problem. Then you can work on finding the short. Each
time you do something, check continuity again to see if what you did clears
the fault.

If your coax is OK, then call the folks who made the antenna. If it's Radio
Works, they're very helpful. They can talk you through some simple things
to try to further troubleshoot.
