[Doc Roe]

s9, with rapid fade and rotation. QRN,...and iono-detritus underfoot. Signal would sound good if not for the abysmal SNR tonight.

 I THINK I caught WWRR? World Wide Basement Radio? (Thanks Wedergarten for clearing that up.)
0046-Faded down into the nether regions.
0057- Shock the Monkey (Peter Gabriel).
       (Signal now very good. Excellent audio, both in freq response and dynamic range. Definitely processed, but the TX also shows good dynamic response, with no LF/Drum intermoding with the higher frequencies. Great job.)

[Wedergarten]

S6.  Mostly poor to very poor.
Thanks for the broadcast in these conditions.

Poor conditions; R=3, G4 magnetic storm.

[WWBR]

Thanks for the patience listening in this mess, peeps. Bands are *awful*. I'm surprised it got anywhere with the solar flare.

I was only doing about 45w at +120%, about 10w dead carrier, while I was bringing the CRL processing back online. I finally just plain gave up on the Optimod HF I had... I've spent literally months inside that thing replacing caps and stuff, but the 35+ years it spent in a musty old barn was just too much for it. Doesn't help that it was a prototype unit with hand-etched boards and many little "secret" potted circuits that even Orban/CRL couldn't describe!

It was actually a 9100 with major modifications and didn't have the "memory" circuits the retail 9105 units had. Frankly, the CRL units sound *way* better IMO. I gave the thing to my "radio museum curator" buddy.
