Some time in the last decade, out at NY4A in the CQ WW DX CW, on 40 meters, I started hearing CW that I initially thought someone was sending over the top of me, mocking me. I sent an FU. and got an FU back. Then the lights went on in my fatigue-soddened brain. I sent a spastic random twiddle-diddle of dots and dashes and got the exact same thing back.
Probably sending my usual 28 WPM, I would switch into RX hearing "A NY4A" sending on top of me when I stopped after a CQ, or U NY4A after a Q, or NN 05 after sending the exchange. The signal went on for nearly a half hour, and was 20 over 9 until it suddenly diminished to nothing inside of a minute. At the next PVRC chapter meeting, others reported something similar at the same time. Have heard a lot of explanations for it, but honestly can neither dispute nor lend support to any of them. I only know for sure that every now and then it happens on a time of its own picking. 73, Guy On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 10:05 AM, Gary Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > It has not been recently but in the past I > have heard my signals, it was around the > year 1990, I was on CW and I had been a > ham about 10 years at the time.
