I thought I saw one spot on 1823 for them..............................you were in that area. I was doing maintenance and listening only, so I didn't note your frequency but heard your call loud and clear..............-)

KX4TT <[email protected]>; 'Roger Kennedy' <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: Topband: Wednesday 160m DX Activity Night I thought of that, Lee. I think I was at least 1 kHz below wherever TJ2TT showed up, and I asked if the freq was in use twice, before I called CQ. (I think they were spotted on 26 or 26.5 after I was on making calls. I never heard them ) The obvious solution is to ask me to QSY. You don't start jamming me. (?) I really got confused and upset. The static is getting quite pronounced some nights, although other nites are quiet. I'll be around on 160 for awhile yet. At least until I get all the new coax chokes installed out in the woods near the beverages. I have about a foot of ice and snow yet so finding the coax cables underneath is a problem. My goal is to get common mode noise off all of my rx antennas. Then I go play on VHF and fly fish all summer. 73 Dave K1WHS On 3/29/2018 3:52 PM, Lee.
