Title: We are being heard Post by: k4kyv on September 23, 2007, 03:32:53 PM The following is a snip from the text of on e-mail I received this morning.
Quote I'm a SWL and I was scanning around the 75 meter band last night when I heard you calling CQ on 3705, AM. I figured I would look up your callsign and give you a signal report. You were booming in loud and clear here in Fairfield, CT. Just about the best sounding signal I've heard from an amateur radio station. I was listening with a Grundig Satellit 800 using a random-length longwire. I didn't realize that hams use AM on 75 meters, but after receiving your signal with such strong and clear audio, I decided to read up on it. Very interesting. Thanks.

"Hi, I can hear you talking on your ham radio station at night through my computer speakers. I looked up your callsign on the inernet and saw your address. I live on the next street over, and reception is very good and your audio is very clear, although for some reason I cannot hear the other stations. I would appreciate a QSL card if you have one." |
