I too, have purchased the INRAD filters and installed them in my Omni 6+. And
like Clark, my ears sure can detect a difference, even though it's not a 'night
and day' difference. I think where these filters (and this superior TenTec Omni
6) is going to shine is in the heavy DX contest. I'm sure they will be put to
good use in the SS contest and the CQ WW DX CW contest. [Clark, you better
stick to 160 mtrs for the CQ WW test, I've already got the 80m single band
WON!!).
