Brian has said to me during QSOs that he has a high urban noise level. Taken
my quarter wave down for the time being and re-instated my 160m inv. 'L' (so
I could work 3B7C).

Subject: LF: 502.3 - G3UNT and G3XIZ
LF, Chris, Brian
I've heard some of the QSO between G3UNT and G3XIZ - needed some AF
filtering and a bit of extra pre-amplification but copy of G3UNT was
439 and G3XIZ 2/3 2 9 on a quiet band.
I was using the weak QSO to do some comparative tests between my normal
500kHz RX - AR7030 - and my new IC-718. Even with the stock, wide, SSB
filter in the 718 I could copy just as well on both RXs - the 10Hz AF
filter somewhat levelling the playing field since the 7030 has a 300Hz
Collins CW filter.
I called G3UNT several times after he signed with Chris, but once again
failed to raise him.
G3UNT is alwas a readable signal in daytime up here but despite many,
many relies to his CQ calls I've never had any joy. I presume I'm
being spoiled by my low daytime noise floor?
Regards,
John
