I had pretty good copy here near Cleveland last week, with a bit of garble o=

JFK and also on Vargas. Rubble came through perfectly. There was some QSB an=

some bursts of QRN which caused the garbled copy at times. Other times it=20
seemed like there were two stations on top of each other. I used an R390A=20
with a Hal ST-6000

to get a Dovetron TU online for the event. The M28 Skintight and the referf=20
units worked perfectly. Thanks to Dave, Bill, Conrad and the bunch, it's lot=

of fun.
