Two samples of burn out cables due to amateur radio operation on VHF/UHF bands


Bended RG213 after long time operation at 500W on 23cm:

A picture given from PE3ATV, who bought PE1RKI's 23cm PA, showing
that RG213 cannot withstand 500 watt on 23cm for a long time.
Thanks for courtesy to PE1RKI for download of this pic from his web page.


Burn out cable (Russian like a RG213) due to bad SWR on 2m EME antenna

Když je výkon dostatečný, můžete to dopadnout i takto (hi). Kabel, na
kterém se kdysi dělaly bubliny při závadě EME antény (OK1KRA 1985)
