[Lowfer] MP and the unwelcome companion

Wed, 26 Nov 2003 14:21:37 -0500

Just sat here and listened for it
starts higher in freq and drifts down to park on Freq.
appears to make little difference in Argo agc on/off
as it is pretty loud and messes up the big picture

Tuning across the band it appears pretty often and the 
note varies where you are tuning it.

Tuning makes it go up and down in freq

Most odd and in my case probably from the hospital
I dont think it is propagating ,,, but  ??

Loud enough that the loop null helps but can still be ARGOed ( verb ) HAR

oh  .. still think I can see your signal
