Yup. This morning about 11Z I was trying to work a guy in FL on 160M JT65. His noise level was so high that I had to drive the KPA500 to 500W to make the QSO. I've had similar experiences with many other stations that were as much as 10dB above my minimum copyable signal level, starting off with 10W and increasing power in 3dB steps until they hear me. 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
