Subject: Re: Topband: FW: Steady Carrier on 80 CW
I'm in north central Michigan at Houghton Lake - EN74oh. I have no
directional antennas and only modestly helpful data. The band seems
quiet this morning and I have a barely audible signal (1300Z). Daylight.
Last night (0300-0400Z) it was bringing my S-meter up over S5 (whatever
that means) and the R-599 is really oversensitive. I would normally have
some attenuation cranked in on 80 meters. Just one more point of confusion.
This reminds of a guy we called "the dittler" on one of the shorter
bands. He had moved something up against the dit side of his paddles and
set his transmitter in action. Two or three days later the locals DFed
him down to his front door and the embarrassed guy turned it off.
73,
Bill KU8H
