[NLRS] Deafness on 6M

Sun, 5 Jan 2003 16:56:59 -0600

Bryan,

Don't feel too bad... I live in Brooklyn Center which is only a couple of
miles from the towers. KTCA causes real problems for me on both my 706MKIIG
and my 756.

I have built a 6m stripline filter which helps... but some days are still
worse than others. Looking to my east towards the towers raises the noise to
s5+ some days.

It is a miracle when I work someone to my east at any distance.

I guess that this is the price that we pay when we live in the  north metro
area.
