NCS WB2JWU

Was able to check in via help from Ken KD2GFM, had week copy on NCS but KD2GFM, MN2K, W2AO and K2XAM were all booming in down in southern Maryland.

I discovered that my new 10 MHz GPS disciplined standard is generating tons of noise on sixty. Looks like I will have to work out grounding or shielding to quiet it down. Reminds me of something I saw at the NSA once, they had a bunch of Bearcat first generation programmable scanners but they caused so much interference they had to be mounted insides fully shelled rack mount enclosures. Hope I don’t have to do the same with the Chinese GPS standard because I like the little display with the frequency counter and real time clock.
