Good Evening,    Good Grief!  I predicted propagation conditions correctly :) Both bands were fairly quiet with mild QSB.  One op mentioned all bands being good.  Another was in the 10 meter contest as well as in WES.  Another will be running stations on 160 meters before dawn.  So I guess

I got tired of waiting for special subtraction NR and decided to do something about the lousy K4 NR on SSB. I bought the BHI Dual Inline NR module and the results are impressive. I will publish a video soon. Anyone who says that better NR won't help you make more weak signal contacts, especially
