>From N6TR:
I am going to try and put my call at the start of postings from
now on, and suggest you do the same. That way, when a message
starts of with: "Heard the V5 last night around 0400", you have
a mental picture of where the guy is, instead of having to page
ahead to the end of the message first. Hopefully you will agree
this is a good idea and start doing it yourself.
Heard the V5 briefly on Saturday during the contest, but they were
right next to a BRAND NEW NOISE on the band. I wonder if anyone
else heard it, or if it is a local problem (I already made sure it
wasn't in my house by using circuit breakers).
The noise is a buzz, with 13 kHz spacing and was around 1823 or 1824
(varies from night to night). It disappears on 1850, but can be heard
down to 1700 kHz.
I am wondering if someone got a new touch lamp or something. This is
NOT a tv horizontal frequency thing.
No new countries for me during the test. Waiting for the P29 for a
hopefully easy #150.
