Even with my new hearing aid (FT-1000MP), I felt like the classic
alligator in this one. I know many called me whom I was unable to copy
and also had many busted contacts. And it just kept getting worse. By
10PM local, the noise was so bad that I could only hear a half dozen
signals that I had already logged. Slept six hours and awoke to a new
high in the noise level. Two more Q's and enough already!
Very frustrating, but my own fault. I had intended to have a quiter
receiving antenna put together by now.. Next year?
