Thanks for the replies. These were not leaking, but that switch in Polarity really had me going. Maybe I should switch to Ray O Vac's or Energizers. I think I bought the Duracell's are Home Depot. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: IRCA on behal

Anecdotal vague memory here: yes, I believe I've seen this also with alkalines in series. Is it possible that you might have mixed in older Duracells with fresh ones, Patrick? If one cell in a series discharges down to zero volts faster than the others, likely due to starting at a lower in

While unreadable, the signal from V7AB on 1098 kHz was the best so far this season. The carrier was first heard at 0629 GMT (Majuro sunrise was 0636). It was stronger by 0637. There was barely audible talk at 0649 fading in and out. Man talking at 0716, sounding like a Pacific island languag
