I appreciate seeing reports from others even though it may be considered
OT. My report:
I monitored both 6.7925 MHz and 7.4075 MHz January 19Z.
Location: N43.8033, W91.395. Rural environment.
Antenna: trapped 20, 40, and 80 meter inverted vee, 35 feet at center.
Receiver: IC765 (not 756!), pre-amp turned on, CW mode, 250 Hz IF
filter. AGC was OFF.
I received both the skywave and the echo on both frequencies.
Interfering noise was low on 6.7925 and moderate on 7.4075.
Skywave signal was near S-5 and echo was near S-0 on 6.7925. Only
moderate fading or other variation was observed.
Reception was similar on 7.4075, but I hesitate to report signal
strength because it was somewhat masked by noise. The signals were
clearly audible and skywave was clearly stronger than the echos.
