DX Test

Eric Manning



Wonderful band condx!

20 and 15 were open to Europe, Asia and S America at the same time for
hour after hour and noise was very low [S0 here]

I heard no DX stations request UP or DOWN so there were big pileups  
smack on the DX  freq.

I had spotty  luck in the pileups [only 500w and a yagi here, not
exactly a Big Gun]

until I turned on the TX incremental tune - down just a few hundred Hz
to get me off the pileup freq - and my luck improved.

THis also left the SUB rcvr free for diversity, which helped quite a bit
with QSB and picking up callers off the side of the beam.
