[SOC] Effects at sub polar areas

[SMITH RODNEY]

I'm having fun today on the 2.4 GHz band today 
By loading up my microwave oven then running it on and off, I can generate a crude sort of modulated signal (nothing new for me), on 2.450 GHz.

If anybody is anywhere near to IO90KU then you might fancy a Christmas Day QSO.
Please QRS because it takes me a while to keep switching the oven on and off.

When the turkey is cooked then any leftover foil will make a good hat.

Happy Christmas to all
