Yes, Bill's voice and his Kenwood really sounds impressive. I heard Paul and Ashtabula Bill on the same? frequency, like they could not hear each other, both were very strong at my QTH. I try to stay off the air when Ashtabula Bill is on, he is typically VERY strong and wide. Its like having an ssb qso right on top of your frequency.

His sounded very good and clean. Yep, heard you all quite nicely here in Central VT, have to ditto your remarks Brett about Bill's Kenwood. I know he has a lot of 'stuff' in line there, and the T599 seems to handle it all just fine. I was listening on the 75A-1 whilst dismantling the slain Christmas tree in the other room. Very pleasant audio. First time I've heard Craig's voice, was quite a shock after emailing for so long. Talk about a deep, 'radio' voice! I hope '2ZM got his transmitter audio problem solved. I was hearing him fine, but the audio was a little scruffy around the edges. I wrote it off to it being a 1930's tx, obviously it was something more involved. Also heard Ashtabula Bill getting a bit annoyed by Paul, who was apparently too close by for his liking. I suppose it's not as easy to spread out on 40 with all of the foreign BC and SSB activity around. The YL called and I was on the phone with her for a while and remember hearing The Nutcracker and other music coming across the frequency. Everyone did seem to drop out quickly. Of course, I only have about a ten foot piece of wire hooked onto the back of the A-1 right now, which probably doesn't help. Enjoyed it emmensely. Can't wait to join in again. de Todd/'Boomer' KA1KAQ ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net AMfone Website: http://www.amfone.net AM List Admin: Brian Sherrod/w5ami, Paul Courson/wa3vjb
