[TenTec] band conditions??

[John Cox]

I put  a new to me 400 cycle Inrad filter in my omni VI opt 1 (9mh IF) last 
night and the 40 meter band seemed very noisy with the 2400 cycle filter in 
line but was very quiet with the new filter selected.  I found slow cw and 
spent some time working on my receive speed.  Improvement  came a lot faster 
when I was 13 years old.  At 69 I will have to work on it for a while.
I am having real problems with X, Y and Z.  My mother could remember 
birthdays after being told once.  You could ask her years later and she had 
instant recall but if the birthday was late in december she might be off + 
or - a day or 2.  How do you figure.
