Tonight was to be the introduction of KDX-FM, but I needed to open up the C.Crane FM Transmitter to repair the telecopic antenna's contact with the antenna circuit.
Normal use of the telescoping antenna causes the spring-metal connected at the base of the antenna to break connection with the circuit board, where it was evidentally insufficiently soldered.
But the spring metal piece is shiny metal and does not accept solder, dooming it to never actually staying attached.
Very displeased with this inconvenience I have blacklisted the C.Crane Company for ten years.
I will now go in there and attach a plain wire, screw it.
