What? You mean all that work I put into 75 and 40 won't help? The
background is finally down to about S2 or 3. <:-)) Only 2 1/2 more S
units to go.
Of course if you operate AU on 6 it makes the difference between lots of
contacts and not knowing anything was going on. <:-))
For those who have never operated AU it's mostly CW on an almost quite
band and the signals are likely to show up only as a change in the
background noise. Of course that AU "buzz" is something I've not heard
in a while.
