Greetings from Portland, Oregon. I have enjoyed your videos. Keep up the good work OM. My band of choice is 20m. I usually listen in on the Maritime Mobile Net on 14.300, but I can also be found on 14.260. --73's, Pat--K7PWN
Hey Simon, I notice you have the noise level higher when you have your engine running, I also have the same using my yaesu FT857D but bit difficult not to have the engine running when its as cold as it! Nice net Simon. Speak to you soon happy new year 2009!
Ey up Dave, yeah it creates a bit of QRN but only on 80M. A much quieter band when the diesel weasel is no longer running. I don't like TXing too long in case I run the battery down so usually put up with it. 80M = S-3-5 of noise and S-0 switched off.
Catch you soon on one of the bands and Good DX for 2009. Have a good un!
Another excellent video Simon.
Thanks for sharing.
