Monitoring the two signals every few minutes and recording the info every 15
minutes, it was easy to see that the lower frequency at 1800.5 seemed to have
much more QSB fading and was weaker readability wise over the hi-freq at
1999.5. Two times I was unable to hear the signal at 1800.5 and this was in a
30 minute period from 0915 to 0940 when the signal came back weak but audible.
The signal on 1999.5 was consistently stronger and with no fading. This is how
I observed the signals for a one hour time frame but was also about the same
over the past few days of just checking the signal periodically here in York,
SC.
ANTENNA used is an inv-L at 90 feet for RX;
2nd antenna is a EWE antenna but is oriented at 270 degrees K7RAT is 301.3
degrees NW and over 2261 miles away.
On the EWE he is audible but just barely without a preamp at the present time.
