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

We're at the Outer Banks this week and I didn't bring the radio. I was going to run my shack remotely but ended up on the beach w/ the kids instead I need to figure out how to get audio remotely, I regularly use Google Remote Desktop and VNC viewer and neither get audio over the internet. I don't like using the radio for digital modes remote and not being to listen for doubling. |

I sometime use it to play with digital modes on the tablet while upstairs watching TV with the wife (shack is in the basement). Sorry I missed the net last night. Been a week from hell and I simply forgot.

Propagation was MUCH improved tonight. Sunspots for the win! Four stations tonight. Everyone was 100% on my end, most near the upper limit of the SNR on Olivia. Thanks for making the net tonight and hopefully next week is that much better. --- As far as the internet, I'll probably clamp some ferrites on. I have cat 6 halfway, but it the wrong half. All my tools are cat 5 and the cable is cat 5e, so I guess I need to get set for 6 and get under the crawlspace. |

| I just have the factory usb cable with the built in ferrite bead on my 7300 and my wire antenna nearly passes over my shack. Other cables have failed to work in field but the factory one works fine. |

I should be good to go for tonight. Looped the data cable through a toroid I had laying around a couple times and that seems to have solved my issues here. I guess the clamp on filter I had previously depended on was borderline doing the job, as the problem just kinda popped up with no changes in the setup. |

I've found a lot of the split toroids are meant for VHF rather than HF. I ended up getting a mix 31 kit from Palomar Engineers that helped. You really want mix 31 or mix 77 to cut down on HF interference. Palomar's mix 31 ferrites. |

You really want mix 31 or mix 77 to cut down on HF interference. Palomar's mix 31 ferrites. Yeah, I picked up a stack of type 31 ring toroids from them and solved a few problems here on 80m. I should stock up on some snap ons of the correct type. |

I'm hearing Weaponeer and GreenDragon, had a brief exchange with a MO station earlier (sorry, don't know your screen name) but nothing from NC. Might need a relay this week. edit- disregard the above. Looking at it again it seems you doubled with GD and he won that fight. Caught the first few characters of your transmission. |

Might need a relay this week. I've got both of them in the buffer as well. Someone was tuning up right around 2330 and their signal was solid here. |

Great propagation tonight, solid copy on six stations, though a couple had some odd propagation effects with the signal smearing a little, probably the gray line doing its thing. Looking forward to next week, hopefully even better! |

First reminder out at 2300Z. Sunspot number is down from last week so we'll see how prop goes. SFI isn't down nearly so much. ETA: #2 out at 2315Z #3 out at 2330Z #4 out at 2346Z Haven't seen anyone testing or tuning up yet. |

I'll just be a quick check-in/out. Wife and I (and my son's family) have some sort of nasty cold/flu bug that kicking our butts. Wife and I tested negative for covid on Saturday so (thankfully) it's not that. But man, it's the worst cold we've had in many years. I'll be going back to bed. Hope next week is better. |

Conditions seemed a bit better than last week. Heard everyone 100% with no real issues. Copied five stations tonight and got updated on construction material supplies east of the Mississippi. I was running my 500 Hz filter on the 7300 so didn't see any nearby CW, sucks if it washed the net out.  |
