I'm back after months of over the road trucking and back on the air!
YAY! The wind storm has taken down everything except my 75 meter array. Im in the process of ordering cable to restring the antennas.

Its great to be back!

You too Paul
Was fun dusting off the mosfet rig. Looking forward to getting all the antennas fixed and finishing some projects.

Brent,
Welcome back!  I heard you earlier on 75 meters and your signal sounded great.  I like your new EQ settings.  Very natural sounding.
Get down on 160 before the static gets to bad.

Brent,

It was nice to work you the other day as you were dusting off the rig. I would agree with Joe, your transmitter sounds "top shelf" with the revised audio chain. It's very loud, very clean and very natural.

Glad to have you back on Brentina. 

After the last few nights, I can see we'll have some new radio material to work with in the future... caw mawn.  The [crazy] 75 band action was starting to slow down with you gone.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

Nice to hear you back Brent!   I've been in Listening mode since the ANT went down in the storm, Hopefully I'll get one back up this weekend and join in the fun!

'Bout time.
BTW one of my sons is moving to Manchester in the fall. Peg & I will most likely be frequenting the area over the next couple of years to visit with the grandkids-- so ya never know who might drop by.
