Yesterday I was working/listening and waiting AO7 SSB VHF/UHF, One station was booming in. Call sign intentionally not posted to skip their possible embarrassment. Midway thru the pass the signals went dead. No receive at all. If I recall from reading my theory he was likely hitting bird with 100 watts and used up the batteries in bird. Am I on track? Also, last week I was working a 6 land station who was proudly boasting 100 watts, Yikes, I never use more than 20 watts and my signal makes it no problem.
