enjoying the show as well from a remote SDR (kiwi, fair hill, maryland) but the K3FEF sdr appears to be getting front end overload from an RTTY transmission, i dont hear the RTTY on any kiwi sdr when i checked.
thanks for the show RI !
always worth listening to the programming and enjoyment remotely if i cannot hear it at my own location due to not having my gear connected (same goes for red-hat when he is broadcasting)
0042 - signal dropped out on the fair hill, maryland sdr - switched to the warrenton, va sdr, signal is S9 and steady
0056 - signal dropped out on the warrenton, va sdr - switched to the elida, ohio sdr, signal S7, stable and climbing as the band starts to stretch her legs
