Hi all, I got up at 4 this morning to look at the "big shower" and 
listen to the radio.  I saw a few meteors (14 with 3 of them being real 
big, and 1 satelite in a 45 min period) and heard the locals calling cq. 
  I think I heard some real faint things but not enough to id.  I heard 
k8to calling a 7 station for a long time, and ghz (does he transmit with 
about a million watts?) 60 over 9 calling out.  I also heard lots of 
noise I couldn't identify, kind of crackeling upto s7 and then it would 
go away.  I also heard what I think might be called splatter, i.e. when 
ghz was transmitting on 205 and I was listening to 210 I would get noise 
in the s5-9 range but nothing understandable.  I have an IC 706mkIIg I 
was using, is this something an internal filter might take care of?  A 
mechanical filter I think they call them sometimes.
The only thing that I think I clearly heard that might have been a 
scatter was W7 clear as day and then nothing ever again.
Well that's my rambleings for the morning, thanks for any ideas or thoughts.

Mike
