Hi Guys,
I'm in the process here of installing my Icom 751A in the Topband operating
position (and relieving my Yaesu FT-980), & this morning had occasion to tune
around the band just to see "...what's what"...
What a most pleasant surprise to be greeted by a QRN-less band!
I copied Jon (AA1K) working a "VK6", but couldn't hear the Aussie...and up the
band N6O was calling "CQ P" & getting the odd response. The rest of the band
was quiet and sounded most inviting!
One more grass harvest ahead of me, I believe, & then I'll be ready to make
some noise on 1.8-MHz---but if to-day is any indicator, I SHOULD have made
efforts to get on much earlier...
