@aol.com says... S-5 S- 7 here on the east coast Almost as clear as a local / regional AM Station - Check it out ! In Ohio, on my R71a sitting on the kitchen table with a 10' hunk of wire shoved into the center of the SO-239, without the preamp, it was 30 over on 9580, with it, it was pegged out. I haven't seen signal strength like that for a long time. I went into the other room and put the 515 on 11.175 USB, and the base (Just went out of my head, can't remember where it was at, as soon as I hit send, it will come back) was 60 over on my sloper, and the attic dipole, AND the short dipole too! I could hear all kinds of planes talking in the background. If I ran the volume up, they were all totally copiable, but when one of the strong ones keyed up, it bloew my head off. It's really strong everywhere I tried today, must be the cold temp and snow cover. It sure is quiet too... Too bad it's not like this in the summer.. BDK |

The snow and the rain have very little if anything to do with propagation at HF frequencies. They may have an effect at VHF and above. Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B |

I also hear a lot more traffic than normal on the ATC freqs, lots of pacific, hell, lots of everywhere! BDK Hmmmmmm... That's nice. But all I said was that some of you folks out there have awfully generous S meters! ;-) Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B "I swear by, not at, Drake receivers" http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |
