Sorry for the novice question but .. I do a lot of CW. I participate in CW
contests and can usually survive. Last night I thought I'd give the CQWW
160 SSB contest a shot. Now I know why I don't participate in a lot of SSB
contests. I had a heck of a time trying to tune stations in. Either I was
too high or too low. The QSB didn't help matters either.
I don't have a very good antenna setup on 160 so it behooves me to be right
on frequency in order to make the contact. I made about 140 CW contacts
during the CQWW CW contest but SSB is a different animal. Is there a secret
to tuning SSB so that it's intelligible?
Sorry for the dumb question but I wouldn't mind making a couple of SSB
contacts on 160. After that I guarantee you I won't be doing much SSB work.
