[SixClub] Signals in the Noise on 50.125

[Howard Bingham]

10 meters was open earlier this evening & those of us in 5 region 
were copying 4 region contacts..

20 meters was getting the South Pacific IIRC reports during the 
Houston SHOT net Tuesday night net..

Meanwhile my 6m is down until I can find a way to mount a multi-band 
antenna in a place that will not feedback RFI to my antenna tuner, 
which just got back from the shop to replace a diode or two.. (And I 
have a limited budget to do it with as IRS refund this year was much 
less than last year..! ). The tuner was line of site with the antenna 
about 5-6 ft away, resulting in SWR's that could not be controlled 
with the tuner.
