9N7MD was strong for a long time last evening in the US Midwest on 20M RTTY, 14083.6. The pileup was big, but my K3 subreceiver, P3, and a second instance of MMTTY on the subreceiver did the job for a new one on RTTY. No NR required!
I will admit I don't have a KPA500 but I do have an amplifier from a company a little to the east of Elecraft. It takes three minutes to warm up though! Jim N7US -----Original Message----- Hi, NR or no NR, this is going to be one tough nut to crack. I listened for him for the first time this morning and did not hear a peep. This wasn't with my K3 but remotely from work using my humble IC718 online radio, but there was no QRM and the 718 is plenty sensitive so the G5RV antenna clearly had no reception of him here in CNY. I have heard him at dusk but only in the noise with a significant amount of arctic flutter. Even considering that, his audio was not particularly good but rather muffled with a lack of highs. The dusk opening has the advantage that we don't have to compete with the Europeans. AB2TC - Knut It was using SSB on 17M. Although I operate mostly SSB, my few CW contacts are to work a DXpedition, where I can usually hear the station with little or no interference and the NR is not needed.
