[Elecraft] K2 Two Alien Problems - One Identified

[Fred Jensen]

The rush-rush noise I hear in my headphones while on RTTY is indeed 
WriteLog polling the radio and not ET trying to call home.  I haven't 
figured out how it is getting into my cans yet.  I use TR-Log on a 
different computer for CW contests and it doesn't happen there so I'm 
thinking it's coming from somewhere in my crappy Gateway laptop.  I'd 
put it into e-waste at the dump except a new one will probably have 
Vista and I'm too old to learn yet another operating system.

Still have no idea why 500W on 15m stops or slows the muffin fan on the 
KPA100 when I point the beam over the house.

I'm going to bail on the WPX RTTY and try to make 20m ECN this afternoon.
