Like most living things, you run them through a combine, it'll pretty much take care of it.

Got FLDIGI set up and decoding in a few minutes last month or May and copied a partial arf net. Busy with other stuff since then. Still don't know about what other configuration I might need to do, especially for TX. GreenDragon's message was a bit of a mess and whoever was after him was a complete fail on my end. |

Reminder that volunteer NC is needed this week and next due to work commitments. I should be back for 8/4. Crazy thunderstorms here so I'd need a volunteer even if I didn't have work today. Power has been out 2 hours so far today. |

I've send a couple of warnings out, not exactly on time but they've been transmitted... The noise here is horrific, pulsing S9+, if any one has sent a test message I've not heard/seen it. |

It sounds like hammering S9+ farts here. I hear BravoOtt by relay, no direct copy. I leave my squelch on but on the lowest setting, still a few random characters get thru but it isn't a wall of scribble. ETA: I'm calling the net with 2 check-in's, I did get a SNR from BravoOtt, not sure he got my reply. Condx are bad even for Olivia. I'm going to play with the kids before it's too dark. 73 all. |

The rumor seems to be there's a lot of QRM from Cuba trying to block hams from communicating out of country. Looking at the SDR, there's is definitely something going on... Attached File |

| Ended up skipping out last night after spending 3 hours trying to get my auto tuner to work after putting a new 10-80 wire up across the property. Would kick my protection in auto mode but I could manually do it fine in test mode so I eventually just gave up, filed the return, and found something else to do to calm down. |

First reminder out @ 2302Z or so. Due to the 12+ inches of rain I've had my ground is awesome and I'm seeing a 1:1 SWR for the first time ever. Hopefully that means the RF is going where it's supposed to. |

I'm going to try operating portable tonight. I'll be on my IC-7200 running on a 15 AHr Bioenno battery to a Chameleon MPAS 2.0 portable vertical in the backyard. I'll be limited to about 25 watts due to the Chameleon hybrid rating. Hope it works and someone can hear me. |
|
Whew, NMBMXER was below the noise floor here by a big margin. ETA: I think I copied redbirdxx giving NMBMXER a signal report, but it's about 30-40% copy here and also below noise floor. Conditions are looking pretty bad. |

Well dang it. I forgot all about this, even though I can't transmit (tech) I wanted to set up and try to decode some Olivia, get familiar with it for when I upgrade. I may go out and set up anyway edit: That is if conditions will cooperate |
|
I have S9 noise all the way across my passband when sitting on 7114. Attached File eta: I have Redbirdxx at +10db but haven't decoded anything from Seek2. |
