[Fists] 40 Meters

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 08:20:30 -0800

Well, Dwight, for one thing, I imagine most of us, if we even have an
antenna on 80 or 160M have only cloud warmers there. I have access to
properly spaced 200 ft. firs, but unfortunately each of those are on my
neighbors' properties. :)

I've always found with nice tight IF filters in my rig that carrying on a
QSO with SSB QRM was quite possible. I don't think tucking our tail and
running down to 7043 is quite the answer, seems to be a slippery slope
there.

73,

Casey, KS7J
