[600MRG] /20 listening

[Neil Klagge]

Rudy: Thanks for the report on XSV. Yep, I was about 40 hz up from Mike/12
at about that time last night. By this morning I was only 10 hz up from
him.

I had strong traces of Mike at times and then almost no trace of him. Even
when he was "strong" the aural copy was 539 to 559 so I figured he would
not be able to read my cw if we tried a qso. My signal would have been at
LEAST 20 db down from his, if not -30.


I am so rusty on estimating RST that I dont really know what to report
anymore. I told Mike in an email that he was 599 on peaks, but I am
thinking that in reality it might even be as low as 529. I guess I need
Argo's help to use dBn's instead of RST's. Argo had Mike at about 20 dBn,
so that is how I am sure he would not have heard my little pee-watt rig. Hi

Have a good day Rudy, John and all....
