Paul, No it was not you but might have been your neighbor who was either ready to move to another town or was trying to be funny. I remember the rest of the QSO was 100% copy with no errors. I think i

Pulksing QRM noise on 7070.0
I occasionally see and hear some pulsing noise on 40 - 30 and 15 meters. It will give a bunch of traces on the waterfall. This is supposedly some kind of military radar operated in the middle East, Ru

2016 Contest Calendar
Thanks for the calendar. One suggestion. The June VHF contest should provide more points for 6 meter contacts than 10 meter contacts as they are much harder to come by. Merry Christmas and Happy Radio

1st radio & 1st callsign?
N4GBK was a 13 year old novice with the call WN4POP in 1963. The transmitter was loaned to me and was a 6AG7 crystal oscillator driving an 807 final with a PI network. Peak the grid, dip the plate. Po
