Just tuned in to hear some music, now dead air. S9+ signal.
Audio cutting in and out, perhaps testing or audio troubles.
Off at 2112.
Back on at 2120z.

24608
Upon recheck at 2040z, it seems to be gone here, possibly QRT.

I am hearing some weak music here.
Also some talk between DJF and Ms Synth?

and I need to go buy one.
 I just dropped the Rat Shack 12v VDC 1000ma wall wart that was powering my PCR1000. Damn thing just shattered.
 Is there any model or supplier that is better than the others?
 

I have bought some from Jameco that seem to be pretty good. You want to try and find a regulated linear supply, vs a switcher.

Another option is to get a large well made linear supply (I have one from Astron rated 12V at 20A) and use that to power everything in the shack.

Two guys in in a QSO, sounded like lost CBers.  They were giving their location in Massachusetts repeatedly.

If you listen in LSB, the audio spectrum will be inverted, that is why the faxes are black.

I would aim for the audio level being about 75% of full scale.
