OK, I can't resist. I turned on my KX3 at about 0018z on Oct 26.
It was set up for 20M PSK tuned to 14.070 with a DSP bandwidth
of 2.5KHz. I showed one bar (S1) of S meter with occasional
flashing of the second bar (S3). The preamp was off and it was
in DATA A mode. The antenna is a 2 element wire beam at about 20
feet. There were no obvious signals on the PX3 -- the band was closed.
I am at the family house in Peterborough NH, about 1.5 miles
from the village and some 500-1000 feet from the nearest other
houses. We do have some CFL and LED bulbs in the house, some of
which are turned on.

Good point. Looking at the photo of my KX3 on top of Mount
Willson in Henry Coe, I see two bars on the S-meter on 20
meters. That is miles from Silicon Valley. It was quiet and
lovely, I could hear everybody. The filters were wide open,
preamp on, and NR off. Zoom in and you can see for yourself.
