Re: [IRCA] Is Level Island (home of SQM-529) really level?

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Had a brilliant signal on 529 last night on the balcony mounted ALA100 to
the Drake R8.
530 khz usually has Cuba parked on it with good audio or a distant TIS
station...
last night was no exception.

Noticed to my delight that my normally s7 digital hash has dropped down to
around S1 --
and my AC/Plasma hash noise has dropped over 20db in the last month or so.

So, to quote Nick Hall-Patch: "If you don't like your radio interference,
don't move, wait 6 months...
 noise generators come and go, radio listeners are here til the bitter
end..."

OK, so that was more of me quoting me, but the sentiment is there.

6 months ago I could not check into our regional civil service amateur net
on 80 meters -
Now it is routine night after night - propagation permitting -- and I can
always get through
on CW (limited to 10W by my ICOM 703+)

Best wishes
