 Received a note from Dave, KH2/N2NL today reporting that he traced some 
 of his 160M noise to the fan in his computer but is still working on
 eliminating the rest of the QRM. His Inverted-L went up yesterday and
 reports hearing K3UL as the farthest station east in the U.S. .
 
 
 My computer noise is fixed.  Thanks for the whole pile of messages
from people offering help.  I ended up switching out the entire power
supply
with and old IBM power supply that is built like a tank but quiet.  Now I
just
have local WX QRN to deal with which was pretty bad tonight.  I only
heard
JA's and W3GH weakly working JA1CGM.  I haven't really had time to see if
the antenna works but Mike, VK6HD, says I'm loud.
  Conditions seemed extremely poor tonight, and NH0/JH4ADK who many are
ooking for was absent. 
  I have been asked by some to spot the stuff I hear on my end on the 
Packet cluster which I will do when the local 2m node is linked into the
Internet cluster.  Hopefully it will be helpful info.
  Gus, KH2/K4SXT should be back on island so I hope to do some 
ignal comparisons over the next couple nights with him.
73, Dave kh2/n2nl
