Bob:
Wow!!!--what a battle we just had with QRM and QSB! I just signed with
you moments ago. Had heard you right at the beginning of the run down
about 7037.3 or so, then some of the worst digital noise I have ever
encountered covered you, though very occasionally you popped up out of
it for a few seconds at a time.
Then I couldn't find you. Kept tuning around clear up to 7045 and down
to about 7035--no luck. About 0500 or so I finally heard you about
7040.1 or so, and began calling you. We almost made it about 0523, then
although I could hear you steady 449/459, you couldn't hear me. There
was a fone QSO very nearby, but I could hear you okay.
Anyway, we finally hooked up at 0539UTC. Thanks so much for digging me
out. It was a thrill.
My equipment tonight: TenTec ARGO 556 at 4 watts out
TNT/2 Windom at 27', oriented E-W
RS DSP unit w/600-ohm headphones.
I believe your final appearance was simply splendid, and a good time
was enjoyed by all who attended tonight's performance! Thanks very much
for serving as our FOX. Until we meet again, good luck and Cheerio.
72/73,
