[TVARC] 160M Interference

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

Now, now, Frank.  Funny.  But for those of you following along a little refresher is in order:  Not sure how much was ultimately posted to the reflector, but I got an email from a Chinese amateur showing that he received my FT8 sigs.  However, I never heard his response, and so had nothing to log.  The Chinese ham indicated that he was going to log the QSO – or perhaps his English wasn’t so good, and that wasn’t really saying that.  Who knows?

 

Anyway, of course one-way contacts are not allowed.  But you all knew that, right?

Just to be clear, those foreign (alien) stations DO NOT count for the TVARC DXCC.

Well, part of it DID turn out to be aliens!! Looking closely, you can see that my display width was about 1MHz. I was actually looking at the upper portion of the AM Radio Station Band. Each spectral peak was another AM Radio Station. Some were foreign (aka alien) and some domestic. 

When I had switched over to 160M I forgot that my freq span on the spectral display was from -500KHz to +500KHz around my center freq. 

strange how much different things can appear in the frequency domain!!
