Was relegated to just using my 6 ft diameter RX loop with preamp for the 8
hours I put in the contest
since my wire transmit antenna gets thrashed with AM Broadcast interference
I have yet to resolve!

Didn't hear many good sigs out of New England til the last few hours of the
contest but I quit at 6 AM local
Sunday morning. Thanks for all the SCCC guys who stopped by.
Never heard a peep out of EU but several Carribean, Pacific came thru.
Never heard VY1, or PR or NL
and missed 3 other U.S. sections but not a bad return for the few hours
invested.

RW0CWA called me early Sunday morning and QSB was bad but finally pulled him
thru on the loop.

Packet really didn't work out as my TX wir antenna comes too close to house
and bombs my DSL off
even with several pounds of ferrite beads modem and router etc wires

Gonna see if I can get the modem mounted right at the telephone drop
and filter it heavily there and go wireless for all computers in
house.......
anyone else with DSL having to deal with this problem ?
