Richard Hi Jack,

Richard You need a rig with a good, calibrated readout. I should use
Richard the word "calibrated" with care. Actually it needs
Richard resolution and stability so that it can make comparisons.
Richard Using a step attenuator and its reading to achieve the same
Richard indication is the best method.

None of those things are finding themselves in my junk box at the
moment. In fact, I strongly suspect my HF rig needs to be calibrated
and tuned, and I'm slowly gathering the tools required to do that.
Until then, I've got to work with what I have.

Richard You still need someone else to compare against. Coming in
Richard loud and clear might easily (or poorly) be accomplished
Richard driving a leaky dummy load. A friend of mine once QSO'd her
Richard girl friend in AK all while on her dummy load (20M).

Alas, the sunspots are no longer with us, it seems.

Richard 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC

Jack.
