It's my understanding (from reading another list which is addressing this problem) that some of the RF will, in fact radiate, but that it slows down the speed of the signal. For example, one guy reports sending 27 WPM from his K2 but by the time it gets through the frozen RF build-up on his antenna, it was only 18 WPM.
With this in mind, it might be a good time for me to go for the ARRL high speed endorsements on my code copying certificate. Just a thought...

Even if it doesn't, if you drink enough, you may no longer be aware of/plagued by the frozen RF. 73,Thom-k3hrn www.zerobeat.net Home of QRP Web Ring, Drakelist home page, Free Classified Ads for amateur radio, QRP IRC channel Elecraft Owners Database www.tlchost.net/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
