Its the cluster/Skimmer feeding frenzy effect! Although Im not all that rare, in FQP and in SS Im a bit rare (My section is West Central Florida) and I always know when Im spotted by the pile of callers that call zero beat. > It's good to see that practice still produces results. I agree. But not everyone does, and I think those that do are the minority.

I find AF LIMIT is quite useful on 160 and 80 especially here in the south. A setting of 17-19 tunrs lightning crashes into white noise and you can still hear signals below it. Alas, my cheap compressor works pretty well for what it is, and it beats having it sit on the table as a paperweight. I hate things that are not being used. :) -lu-W4LT- ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
