I thought I saw one spot on 1823 for them..............................you were
in that area. I was doing maintenance and listening only, so I didn't note your
frequency but heard your call loud and clear..............-)

I thought of that, Lee. I think I was at least 1 kHz below wherever TJ2TT
showed up, and I asked if the freq was in use twice, before I called CQ. (I
think they were spotted on 26 or 26.5 after I was on making calls. I never
heard them ) The obvious solution is to ask me to QSY. You don't start
jamming me. (?) I really got confused and upset.
The static is getting quite pronounced some nights, although other nites are
quiet. I'll be around on 160 for awhile yet. At least until I get all the new
coax chokes installed out in the woods near the beverages. I have about a foot
of ice and snow yet so finding the coax cables underneath is a problem. My goal
is to get common mode noise off all of my rx antennas. Then I go play on VHF
and fly fish all summer.
