Possible, but I doubt it would be very much. And the rig would drift back on frequency again as it cooled down, so not a permanent change. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Hot Fusion)Tue, 28 Jun 2011 21:22:48 +0000 Re: The crazy heathttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p18398,from=rss#post18398https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p18398,from=rss#post18398its that hot in the loft my cable to the light up there has gone very soft due to the heat nondisclosed_email@example.com (porky69)Mon, 27 Jun 2011 21:39:31 +0000 Re: The crazy heathttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p18386,from=rss#post18386https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p18386,from=rss#post18386I remember hearing years ago that certain radios could drift off frequency in hot temps.

I use an outside shack, it has been well over 40 degrees in here before now, and no problems. My worry was the other extreme, last winter it was -22 in here one day! But no ill effects as far as I can tell nondisclosed_email@example.com (yamanx1)Sun, 26 Jun 2011 19:03:25 +0000 The crazy heathttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p18370,from=rss#post18370https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p18370,from=rss#post18370Man it's hot today which is nice but I cant use my radio because it's set up in my attic and it's like a sauna up there, So heres my question...Theres no windows in my attic and jesus it get hot up there, Will this do any harm to my radios? I might have to sort out the spare bedroom if so. Cheers all...Richnondisclosed_email@example.com (night prowler)Sun, 26 Jun 2011 15:49:04 +0000
