Today I built the ADSL filter today that Rag (LA6FJA) provided the link
for, and it solved my DSL crashing problem.
I fought this problem for numerous years when running 100 watts on 160
meters and previously threw a bunch of toroid chokes at the problem with no
success, but today in the 160

Yes! What in the heck was that? He sounded like a UFO from Mars or
something. I heard him
Hi Gary,
I do find it disquieting to have someone obviously trying to copy my call
and another contester come on top of my attempts and with their stronger
signal, send their call over mine so the other person hearing them clearly
replies to them instead. I'm running legal limit and the
I saw an exchange here, earlier, where someone was mentioning calling a station
with a weak signal, only having them come back with a stronger signal.
I witnessed that more than just a couple of times during the recent CQ WW 160
contest and attributed it to, mainly, very dynamic conditions. I
Thinking of a summer vacation in Maine? A stop at North Haven Island via ferry
can be interesting. Harold Beverage was born, and lived his younger years here,
returning often to visit his family.
The museum has a display of Harold's memorabilia including a wave antenna,

I didn't notice the keyclicks so bad, but what did bother me was one local who
had an incredible amount of (?) phase noise (it was keyed broadband noise plus
whiny synth noise) up and down from his very enthusiastic CQ'ing, and a number
of guys who had some pretty bad 120Hz ripple, bad enough

The CQ 160 contest was a large disappointment this year here in EM21.
At least at this location, Europe was weak or not heard. Please, I would
like to know what others were hearing. I saw few, if any EU postings on
VE7CC from others in this area.
At least I am enjoying the winter. It was a

Blown call by me -- it was K6NV who was broad. W6NV was with a bunch of

This isn't a problem only in contests.
In non-contest settings, nearly every time I'm on the air for any length of
time (SSB), it results in a pileup (no matter which band). Things generally

Many ops on the other end there
