[Lowfer] " PBO " tidbits

[Andy - KU4XR]

Overnight captures revealed a complete call sign sequence. It is no
where close to welding goggles strength in intensity, but going way
beyond my expectations, the signal from " PBO " did come thru 3 times.
The attached capture may not look like much, but consider the following
clipped paragraph I sent to Rick earlier today, and you'll see why I
think it is a good catch:

Last night I tried to snag PBO again.. I have sent the best screen capture
of the night, and as you can see from it,the signal appears to be very
weak.. That is NOT the case however. I had a strong TV carrier about 75 Hz
from you, and it was running S-9 +5 dB in a 2.4 KHz BW.. and in a 
500 cycle BW, it was an S-7.. A few cycles away from it, and my average
noise was an S-3.. That's a 24 dB QRM to contend with, and for your signal
to even make it thru that was fabulous !! And needless to say; if you were
on a different frequency, you would have probably been " dog bone-ing "
Spectrans AGC...And, if I remember correctly; you are using a loop
antenna, and it isn't pointed in my direction either, so; all things
considered; It's a big deal to receive your signal !!!

Last nights attempt for " PBO " was the worst TV interference I have
encountered.. My family is SUPER patient with me and all my ham radio
stuff, so I sometimes just " deal with it " when it comes to interference
from the 2 TV's in the house. For the most part there is no problem due
to the extensive filtering I have done on every electronic device in the
home, but there is still the occassional frequency where it just can't
be gotten rid of, and the 500 KHz region is the nastiest for interference
here. That's why I don't do much 600 meter listening..

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend, and may the DX fairies bless you
with mileage never before encountered... 73 all:
