Good morning,
The humidity is higher this morning and the signal is 20 dB higher. I will watch this and see if there is any correlation. I suspect there is. The measured maximum signal level is -97 dBm this morning. My K2 says S9+20 dB. the S-meter on the Softrock says S-4 :-) Take your pick. I will rely on the dBm values because I calibrated the SDR with the Signal generator.
The signal has some QSB, but has been slowly increasing strength since 6:30 this morning when I started listening.
It’s a good day in this area for 1296 QSOs. I haven’t heard K8TQK on 144 MHz yet. I don’t know who else in this esteemed group might have 1296 capability. I’m sure I could make a QSO with any in the area this morning.
