Monday, 17th.
For an hour in the evening, my noise level on 136kHz went right
down to zero on my s-meter. It is usually at S2-3 on the quietest
days and up to 9 on the noisiest, typically 5 in the evenings (to
compare, the Greek RTTY reads S9 and DCF 9+40). Perhaps one
of my neighbours blew a fuse!
During that hour, I heard IK5ZPV calling CQ at 429. I called him
and he replied with a QRZ but nothing after that. He would not have
been noticed at all when the QRM was normal. It just shows what we
could all hear if the man-made noise was not there.
