RFW 6965 USB 2321 UTC 14 Nov 2015
« on: November 14, 2015, 2321 UTC »
Very weak here.

Update: The signal is improving, up to about an S5/S6 now. I also switched to the NRD 545 and the tilted folded dipole, and that helped a bit as well.

RFW is usually quite strong at my QTH but not tonight.  Dick's weed has wilted in today's light snow and freezing temperatures.  I hear you in the noise.

Tuned in at 2319utc, fair sig, various music, DJ=Dick Weed, took phone calls on air, dickweeddj@gmail.com, R8 & dipole.
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
