[Mldxcc] QRN Problem Solved

[Jim Venneman]

Hello y'all,

Thought that I would post this PG&E success story in light of the recent 
messages concerning response to power-line noise interference complaints.

The message below refers to the S8-S9 intermittent noise problem that I 
endured on Saturday evening during SSCW. This noise made running on 40 too 
difficult, but Rick's beverage antennas allowed running on 80 instead. Now - 
looking forward to the return of quiet conditions for SS Phone.
