Content preview: Well, Dex that was the good news. The bad news is that, as I cautioned earlier, the lower noise level lower in the band was a function of my antenna pass band, and not of absolute noise. I re- tuned to a lower frequency and it wasn't any better. So the current frequency seems as good as any.

The bad news is that, as I cautioned earlier, the lower noise level lower in the band was a function of my antenna pass band, and not of absolute noise. I re- tuned to a lower frequency and it wasn't any better. So the current frequency seems as good as any. Interestingly, I left my SDR plotting a few kilohertz around 74k last night with long integration and I could see the shape of my antenna passband produced by the night-time static acting as a broadband noise generator. At last, I have found a use for that pesky static! de Mike ======= > Mike Dennison wrote: > > More pics including the XRS/5 caps. > Thanks Mike! That's a keeper. > > Dex >
