Hi
I just got back to NJ from northern MI (Petoskey / Charlevoix area). Ops
the week of 8/16 -8/22 out of MI were terrible. Don't know if it was
the ionosphere or the black widow vertical 5 ft from the back of the
cabin that made ops so bad. Also lots of unmodulated "cariers" (IMD
from unknown out of band sources?) in the K2 when operating up there,
which are not present here in NJ. (Op was 1/2 mile form Harbor Springs
airport. Maybe some high power rf from there?)
But enough small talk. Coming home on I-80 I spotted what must be 10
acres of HF antennas on 10+ towers (I was doing 75 mph, no time to make
an exact count) on the north side of I-80 in PA, just over the OH/PA
border. Anyone know who's running this "died-and-gone-to-heaven" setup,
and is there any write-up of it ?
