Lucky, you're being victimized by long-range skip when you can't hear your
local Florida A.F.R.T.S. outlet. As a kid, V.O.A. Dixon, 40 miles west, was
harder to receive than South American flea-watt utilities(got the qsls as
proof). With the recent hit-or-miss propogation, a local ham from Rescue,
NorCali, 30 miles northeast, has been buried in noise on his evening a.m.
hamnet check-ins on 1.925 mhz & 3.870 mhz. SoCal hams, as well as several
out-of-staters, O.T.O.H., pin the Frog 7's s-metre 10 over 9.

I thought there was a valid reason for this. At least I can put a "face" to
the problem now.
I will try a couple things to see if it helps. Anyone have any tips to help
me out??
