Mal, Even if you had not transmitted, in less than a minute the Woodpecker
would have been gone anyway. It made us feel better to think we made
the Woodpecker QSY, I know. But the typical operation was frequent frequency
hops with dwells ranging from as short as 3 sec to longer, in a ham Band or
out. My guess is that they were using MTI processing and CW QRM was no
bother. 73 Jim w3cp
