[OKDXA] Horrific key clicks on 30 m last night

Mon, 15 Mar 2004 17:34:37 -0600

Yeah, there was absolutely *NO* consideration given to keying 
waveform.  And, if it was not local, whoever it was had a tremendously 
strong signal. Waaaaaaay over 200 W. Closer to 20 kW if he was anywhere far 
away. He was wiping out most of the low end of the band. I could hear some 
very weak signals in 10110, but I couldn't make out who they were or what 
they were doing.

What purpose, I wonder, do such people serve?

greatest of these is Maybe" The original Latin appears to be garbled.
