This one kind
of looked a little “different” at low power, a bit of elongation at mid
power, and at high power I got the barest of splits. For a while I wasn’t
sure if this was just wishful thinking,
but the estimated PA was about right and I went up to my “big gun” (or should I say short gun?), my 6.5mm EP. This confirmed the split, but I must say the view in general was better at the lower power. The pair appeared white in color and other that the challenge in splitting them, otherwise were unremarkable. |
