Cables are for pussies. For a month i used speaker to mic, speaker to mic. Worked fine

working a station in NJ right now. Still on 10.140. I seem to have the best luck on PSK. Voice doesn't seem to get out well. lots of local noise here.

Some broadcaster apparently has a different fall schedule and they're firing up at sked time. 7215 is actually right on their signal for me incidentally. Might be falling back on 7.223 when it's open.
