Did some searching and pouncing via the internet remote-link between my desert
QTH and my home QTH starting around 3:30 AM local on Sunday morning. I haven't
had any time to tackle the QRN problem or fix my RX antennas, so it was pretty
tough going on receive. Normally when listening in person the 125Hz Inrad
filter in my FT1000MP MKV helps with this sort of thing, but the Skype CODEC
doesn't seem to handle the resulting audio signal from the narrow bandwidth
filter very well, so in a lot of cases intelligibility wasn't any better with
the narrow filter than when using the wide SSB filter. Nevertheless it was fun
to hand out some QSOs and hear some familiar callsigns slugging it out.
73, Mike W4EF
