It most certainly is 'interference', and I intend to outlast them... so the music choices may not be ideal going forward, this was more just a test transmission but now it's a fight of stubbornness.
--- Quote ---If I may critique a little bit... your filters on transmit aren't allowing much bass to come through.

sadly, this is what i was trying to test. the SSB on this old transceiver is just not ideal. I'm shocked I got it even listenable-ish, but turning up the bass just turns it into a distorted mess. I need better equipment (or someone smart enough to modify the circuits on this old thing, which I am currently not)

No worries. You can clearly see by my logs you're winning hands down.

Not bad for 100w into a homemade dipole thrown up into a tree ;D

Can't go wrong with that. I worked Europe with a homemade fan dipole on 10m and 20m with no balun and using wooden insulators back in the day.
Oh... and maybe 15 feet above ground on 200 watts.

i'm a novice to the social aspect of this hobby, can you (or someone) give me an idea of how to QSL with a pirate?

It's amazing how far things can go once that ionosphere gets involved. I'm hearing myself in the canary islands, it's crazy.
