(which I already have on 6M SSB) on 50 MHz.
Seems I gave it a tad TOO much control over the station.
Now I'm afraid to even go into the room while

To add insult to injury the signals are not even below the noise floor. Only
when calculated against a 3 KHz bandwidth. You can clearly see signals on the
