John, and others

I noticed that last night the QSB was very long between nulls & peaks.  I noticed the same thing this AM with KH0A.  In fact, with KH0A, more than once he came back to somebody only to hear the 599 73 VA TU.  Several were calling and I have no clue who he was responding to.  But then you would hear the CQ again, only to be drifting off into the noise again.  During the nulls, there was not a peep of him.  During the peaks, very good copy here in MN.  Very long QSB.  I think the other midwest stations calling this AM heard the same thing.
