[AK-VHF] [600MRG] QRV 2230z 506.8 KHz CW

[Edward R. Cole]

Report from KL7XJ at 15-mi that signal sounds rough.  Checked with 
the SDR-IQ and sounds like transmitter maybe has RF feedback so quit 
transmission at 0030z.  Note is clean into 50-ohm load so will have 
to check into this.

Probably sounded close to the original "spark"!
