I was so far out in the sticks there was no electrical noise to be heard as static that late in the fall. I was sure the receiver had got bounced around and broke when I first heard all that dead air.

Yep. It's almost unnerving, those first few times in low-noise environments. I really wanted my receiver AF gain to go to 11, until the sweet sound of a loud CW signal popped straight out of the speaker.

I don't know what to say about MB's weird rant, other than to express my opinion that it is antithetical to the spirit of these forums. DW, I hope you'll continue to check in here from time to time. The strong signal of your whooper makes it a dependable and friendly sound on the bands - much like the sound of the foghorns on ships in the San Francisco Bay, when I used to live a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean, or the distant sound of an Amtrak horn at night.

Jim - your consistent reporting here forms the backbone of this forum. It's much appreciated.

I'm replying now as a moderator: I have been asked to delete Steve's off-topic posts but I'll move them somewhere so that they are available for anyone interested. I'll edit this post with a link once I figure out what bin to put the messages in (yes, including my personal non-moderator response to Steve's accusations, lol).

Jim

Here's the link. I'd like to see Dave's thread stay on topic, especially since he wanted to give Gendarme it's own reception thread
