Ummmmmm, was 80 meters noisy for everyone else Saturday Nite? We had
an S-9 +5 hash level. Not local power stuff, but general multi-variate
gaussian type crap. That ruined our dream of all nite cw.
Needed 3 hands to operate. 1 for tuning knob, 1 for keyer, 1 to scratch
legs into bloody pulp to relieve mosquito bite itching.
No 10 meters, some 15 meters, about 50-50 phone and cw. Total about 670
q's. yuchh! bonus for packet and message orig. Big deal.
Alan, you did the right thing with the 20 mtr ant. Now where can I find
a used 204BA for CQP????
