Thanks for the contact, Dave. You were quite strong into GA last night with your setup into my TX antenna for receive. That was the last of my 160 contacts. Yes, I was doing the 160 chores for W1AW/4
So why couldn't the Stew be tonight. Zero QRN here (now). S2 noise level versus Saturday's S8 with almost constant 20 over QRN until about 4am local. tnx Mike _________________ Topband Reflector Arch
Interesting. Here at my place - wires in the trees, I'm able to transmit on the K3 (100w, old SYN) within about 20 kHz of the frequency where the Flex 6300 (zero band filtering radio) is listening wi
Mike, what version of SSDR is he running? I believe the current 1.5 release has a reported issue on transmit with some (all?) 6300's. I understand a point release is being readied to address that. I
That's exactly how I set mine up. Lower the AGC-T to where the band noise and weak/moderately weak signals aren't hitting the threshold. So maybe S4-5+ signals do hit the threshold. I'm able to still
The non-linear test will help you immediately determine if the issue is inside or outside of the radio(s). If inside, dB steps make a difference quickly and "not linearly", meaning a 1 or 3 dB step m
WQ5L has a very loud signal into GA from MS and he was on overnight during night 1 of the ARRL 160. For me, sigs from EU were not as strong as usual last night. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA ________
For me, EU was/is best before their sunrise. The Pacific before/at my sunrise. South America in the spring or fall. There are many countries to be had in the CQ160 next Jan. Getting to 100 turned out
I plan to also be QRP from the K4PI 160 farm. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA .....snip..... _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

Double Extra Like as they say in other social media. I sure miss my friend. Will be on the lookout for NA7TB. Will Guthrie Peak endure or be dismantled? tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA ________________
What a story, Paul. You may remember my Mom and Dad (WB5DMR and K5JR) visiting Dad's sister Jody from time to time there in Hobbs years ago. Dad is 93 and we have one more year to go to reach 50 year
And I had a great time in the winter TBDXC a couple of years ago QRP using the antennas at Mike's 160 farm. The TX array works very good. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA _________________ Topband Refle
Yep. Cyclic there and not there. Then solid for a bit, then intermittent again. Definitely got something loose going on there. Omni R/T antenna. 10 to 20 over. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA (near Atl
