Comments:

FROM BAD TO WORSE....HEAVY NOISE AS USUAL, THEREFORE 18dB ATTENUATION ON RX.
ONE THING FOR SURE, THE NOISE BLANKER ON THE FT1000MP IS NOT VERY GOOD.
EXACTLY ONE QRG WHERE THERE WAS NO NOISE, 1805kHZ, BUT CROWDED.
POWER OUTAGE FOR 16 HOURS DUE TO WIND STORM.  80M LOOP BROKE LOOSE FROM TREE,
HAD TO GO OUT IN MORNING IN WIND AND RAIN AND RESTRING IT BETWEEN TWO 
DIFFERENT TREES.  APPROX 70 DEGREES DIFFERENT ORIENTATION, NOT EFFICIENT DUE
TO WIRES HANGING OVER BRANCHES AND BOTTOM WIRE ALMOST ON GROUND !!
ONLY DX WORKED WERE THE USUAL KH7, KL7 AND ONE JA.  DID HEAR WHAT I THOUGHT
WAS A DL, BUT HIS SIG NEEDED MORE PORRIDGE. CALLED MANY MANY W4/W9 ETC BUT
UNABLE TO PUNCH THROUGH.  MAYBE IF THE POWER OUTAGE HAD BEEN DURING THE 
DAYLIGHT HOURS INSTEAD OF DARK HOURS I MIGHT HAVE HAD MORE QSO's.  ROLL ON THE
NEXT CONTEST.....
