Not only on MF. During the recent RTTY RU, G3LZQ answered my CQ on 80M around 0730Z, with a signal that was so loud that I absolutely did not believe it was real -- a REAL S9+ on my K3, as strong as a big station in CO. G3 is 5,200 miles and over the pole (and G is limited to 400W). I'd never heard an 80M EU signal stronger than about about S6. I was convinced it was a pirate playing games, and deleted the QSO from my log, not wanting to be penalized. Turns out it was quite real, and I had to restore it to my log. Now I'm a believer in "ya never know.: :) 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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
