Think is, it's NOT only me - I've sat and listened to other people try the
particular station I'm thinking about
I've pretty much concluded he's running squelch - IF there is a strong signal
the breaks in, the person who has been calling can often "tail end" in, but if
you're in the noise, forget it.
But, to get back to where we started, someone said "you need to be able to hear
them to work them, so improve your antennas" - I'm give the counter problem -
Oh, I can here them, but your right, they can't hear ME (or are so low, they
won't bother) , which is exactly why we were asking about amps
(100 watts, low wires makes life frustrating at times, and clicking on the
slightly tired '600 watt' amp makes you high power, hence the question of the
original poster
What amps for a station running a dipole at 25 ft? (or in my case, 32 ft)
(trying to un-hijack the thread)
