Absotively, posuletly right about the signal strengths Tom. I wish I could
read my notes/writing better as only one station, maybe OJ5E seemed to have
flutter last night about 0345 when the 9 or 10 I copied did not. I wonder
where they were beaming? Also heard one station change ops and when they did
their signal dropped right off the scale. They were an honest S6 on 20m ssb
and when the new op came on they dropped right into the noise as if they
knocked something loose or changed antennas or something. I, along with a
few others who heard the same thing, tried to explain it to them but I don't
think they understood.
