[CQ-Contest] 10M NAQP Weirdness

[Jim Cain]

Thomas: 

This was your opportunity to work yourself. Sort of a unique unique, something for the log-checkers to hyperventilate over. Think teeter-totter, or an M.C. Escher drawing.

This could lead to the Ultimate Contest Exchange:

W7RN, test (you)
W7RN 
W7RN (you)
W7RN 
Thank you. W7RN. Test.

And an easy way to work your own state/multiplier, not to mention relieving you of the loathesome chore of copying the exchange.

(P.S. It was me in your driveway, but it was my old ICOM IC-735, you idiot (not a Kenwood).)

>AD6E and I both experienced a very weird phenomena during the first hour of CW NAQP on 10M. For a number of QSO's, the contest exchange just sent >came back  as a very loud received signal, most of the time covering up the station being worked. Not only was there CW, but very loud background noise, >sounding  like PLL phase noise.

>I thought it was someone at the end of my driveway with an old Kenwood radio sending the exchange I just sent. In retrospect the CW and the noise may have 
>been from someone making a tape recording (or .wav recording) and playing it back.
