[Lowfer] VD in PSK01

[Jay Rusgrove]

Thanks for the info. Static and LF sure go together.

I've been trying to come up with a simple system to rate what one has =
for static at his receiving location other than the nebulous bad, not =
too bad, fairly quiet, etc. As you point out, that's difficult due to =
the varying intensity and length of the bursts. One idea would be to =
express it as the amount of  "cover-up" over an otherwise static free =
background - sort of like cloud cover percentages under a clear sky in =
aviation.  2/10 would be 20% or 2 out of every 10 seconds of listening =
pleasure covered by static. I think most listeners could fairly =
accurately estimate this with little effort.

Other ideas? If I've gone completely over the edge feel free to reign me =
back in!

  Jay,

  It's hard to put a 1 to 10 rating on the static I had last night as =
compared to summer.  The lightning last night at midnight was between 50 =
and 100 miles to my south.  The strikes produced strong static but were =
spaced
  maybe 5 to 10 seconds apart.  At 8 a.m. this morning the lightning was =
less frequent and weaker since the strikes were coming from off the =
coast, maybe 200 miles ESE of my location.  During summer the static is =
almost
  continuously present at low levels.  So on a 1 to 10 average I would =
put last night's noise between 1 and 2.
