Very quiet. S1 or less noise for my AO. I am getting 10 db over reports with 100 watts.

What frequency are you on? I'm listening to the SDR from England, I'll give you a signal report!

crusing between 150 and about 220.

I'll tune around, but without knowing what freq you are on, it will be hard to find you

 

[oneswithfunes]

[R1ch]

[oneswithfunes]

You listening to that mess on 193 at all? Do you have a flex 5000? I thought I read someplace that someone here did.

 

[oneswithfunes]

Hunting around. The noise is strange. lots of fading.

Why the QRO?

 

[Lucas McCain]

Normally I would engage the mighty PW-1

I need to get the mighty 4-1000a glowing again

 

[Lucas McCain]

The PW-1 normally doesn't glow unless something is wrong but I do have an SB-201 and that makes a nice glow on the ceiling. Memories....... I need a good dose of ozone.

I had an SB301-401 set and remember that glow on the ceiling well. In my QSL posts, there's two Australian QSLs next to each other. I was in a round table with those ops on 20 SSB, and the band was so hot at the time that I was talking to them on the Heath twins barefoot into an attic dipole, and it was like were were on the local repeater. I think that QSO lasted until the early morning of the next day.
