Oops! I forgot! Didn't get on until 10PM EDT. Heard on station, but the signal was way too weak to be able to copy any information. Called CQ for about 15 minutes; no answers. Oh well, maybe next week!

well...7.210 is out for sure here in Barrie Ontario - AM broadcast image right on 210. Conditions should improve ?as thunder storm is moving east. Will be listening 7.277 - have a bit of qrm from 280 so we'll see.

Folks I am dragging my feet on some major upgrades, including an isolated audio and PTT interface, the BITX40 digital and software upgrade, and a big magnetic loop made for 40 meters. I am half way through the interface, and was wondering about the line in connection on the BITX side, any tips or links? Do I just tap into the mic input or what?

Finally, this is to say I hope in about two weeks this QSO night is still going when I get the mag loop finished. I hope to hear less noise, and more signal here in my city surroundings. As of now the signals are just barely above the noise floor that I can tell you are there, but I can't make out what you are saying. I will be working in the shop tonight listening for a strong signal.

Anyone else using a mag loop for QSO night? And hows it working for ya????? de KG5KYJ.

I got nothing. I might need to ditch the spiral loop and toss up a dipole.

Roger that. I'm going to start at 7 (PST) but call on the hour for a while until 10PM.

Maybe in the future a time based around sunset?

I shut down due to a thunderstorm.? Tough conditions!
I heard VE3 ?RRD and someone else, but under the noise level.? I was running 38Watts.
