Hi Mike,
We at NQ4I noticed your QSOs -- and those of other SECC folk who were
obviously helping by handing out some QSOs.
I noticed the same thing you mentioned, regarding the continuous tone, when
trying to copy KM9P/W4AN's signal. It was extremely difficult to copy and
I don't think I've seen that happen before.
