I came in briefly from doing yard work and hooked up the scanner discone antenna to the 756 PRO II and heard KB0(something something) on 29.017, wall-to-wall, working W2VW on 29.020, pissweak, around 4 PM. Then I heard some loud bursts of wide-band interference and signals started to fade away.
The wideband noise u heard was KF0OW's rig crapping out.
I set a new personal best. Lost 6 stations in a row.
Signals were very loud. The kind of loud you get just before the band folds. That's exactly what happened.
One guy checked in twice about a half hour apart.
Still better than cruising internet forums all day.
