[Elecraft] Phase noise

[S55M]

Hello again Elecrafters!

Yes Fraser i saw Your comment but not the comments of others.We are still in very low number.
Seams that only Europians have the problems with "little" birdies and noises.
And between Europians S5 is a little country with a lot of ham-radio activity HI.
In what kind of place do we live is Bob asking?
In a place of 300*300 km (186*186 miles if You are more familiar with that).
And during VHF ctests there are at least 10 stations with full legal limit power and "average" distance between them is abt 35 miles (worst case 23 miles) what in terms of path loss is "only" -110dB in free space on 144MHz (there is a line of sight between us !!!).
Now all of us use "Javornik" 144/14Mhz transverters designed by S53WW  and the situation is not so bad as before with all sorts of stuff.The only important thing now is to have bullet-proof HF RX (K2 shurely is) and a clean HF TX.
I will enjoy in comments.And i understand that is difficult to deal with  the problem if you live in MBA (Mighty Big America).

P.S.
