Glenn -noise
Thanks Glenn for the comments. The noise doesn¡¯t appear to be the usual electronic hash as far as I can tell as it will come and go as a steady S-7-9 over the entire 40M band. It¡¯s clearly not the

Re: Tonight
Dan, what seems to be the type/source of the noise? You've mentioned 'noise' as a problem in previous hunts so what's needed to cure the 'noise'? Pretty sure you can get lots of ideas from the group

Re: Tonight
Take note guys-for the first 70 minutes of the hunt I sent ¡®up¡¯ as part of my CQ fox message. It was only after very little success that I reverted to simplex. And-even when that happens the smart
