[Hammarlund] Hammarlund Restoration & Noise Level

[manualman at juno.com]

You really don't need sun spots to work stations around the world. A good
antenna, an understanding of time, mode, propagation, and frequency can
generate lots of contacts even with modest power and no or minimum sun
spots. Even 50 MHz has been hopping lately with single and double hop
contacts across the U.S. and into Europe and South America.
During the late spring and summer months, you can make lots of 10 meter
contacts with Sporadic E openings which can last for minutes, hours, or
days.

But, you need to get on the air and make some noise.
