Hi Everyone,


Yes, indeed I am alive and well. As Bill stated, something in the neighborhood has shown up in the past few years that really knocks out the dial. I feel it is not the power lines, but something else. Even though the area has underground power, there are still neighbors close enough and anything can cause the noise. I couple weeks ago I did have one day without the noise and the power was on. A lot of older people live in the area too and any could have a medical device that could cause the noise. Plus Pot is now legal in Oregon so dryers and other noise makers could be the cause. I attended the Reno convention this year and had a great time. I am still very much interested in the hobby, but I may have to wait until the dial gets quieter. I got a good gain FM Yagi from Germany, via Les and it works quite nicely for FM, so it still is not MW. I do a lot of streaming too. People around here move and pass on, it is just a matter of time when the dials gets more quiet. That is if I live that long. hi. I just I have to add that in there, as I will be 69 in March, but as others can attest I am still in good shape. Hopefully I will stay that way for a while. Thanks for asking.

Pat, has did very little DXing in the last few years due to a very high noise level. Also he has been in one location for a long time and it was getting very hard to hear anything new.
