Hi Rich:
I heard you just fine here in Amarillo this evening. This was the first
time I checked in also. I just finished a home brew 1/4 10m vertical this
afternoon. The tuner in my 1000mp(running about 10 watts out) tuned it
just fine on 40m. Tom was S9+10 but he said I had some QSB on my signal.
Signals here were often pretty marginal... not only due to QSB but also due
to some pretty severe QRN... nasty stuff... I apologize to ANYONE I might
have missed... at times I could hear a signal I though might have been
calling, but could never pull any intelligence out of the noise, and when
I'd ask for a possible relay, I'd generally just hear more noise... sorry.
Tom, what type of antenna are you running? You were very loud.
Running a K2/100 at about 90W output into an inverted vee with the apex at
72', running N-S, so you were generally off the ends of the antenna.
I wonder if 40m was going long early, hence my weak signal.
Undoubtedly... happens just about every year this time <G>.
73,
Tom
