[ARC5] Chirp ain't always bad -- was: 1ST QSO with my BC-454-B and T-19

[Mike Everette]

Recently I took a hearing exam with an audiologist.  When very weak tones were fed into the headset, I heard them far better -- quite a few dog-biscuits better, actually -- when there was a slight "warble" or "chirp" added to them than when the same tones were perfectly clean.

So, a little chirp isn't always a bad thing!

How many times have you been able to pick out a gnat-fart from Outer Mongolia (or any other rare one) from the noise, when it chirped a bit?

Quite a few, I'll bet....
