Just keep on, keeping on in your pickup chop. Us real truckers will keep on, keeping on trucking with our far inferior, non match grade, screwdriver tuned junk boxes.
I suppose it's unfair to expect a truck driver to be able to eliminate all the noise from their system. It just gives us something to Aspire to in our installation. Kind of like a point of reference. The base stations in my area have no excuse for not being able to hear like my mobile, however.
As someone who appreciates qrp operation I thought you might like it. The average driver is not accustomed to listening to signals this small especially in a noisy vehicle going down the road but they might be surprised what they hear while they are parked for the night. I assume you spent lots of time with headphones trying to pick weak signals out of the noise so I thought of all the people in this form you would probably appreciate it the most. I wouldn't expect the average truck driver to understand the benefits of a good receiver. If everyone had a good receiver nobody would need amplifiers as you well know.
You seem not to get this ----->>>> So I will add this ----->>>> I do get what you are saying, I just am having fun with you.
Only thing I could here was static, couldn't hear anyone else, but then again this computer has lousy speakers.
I just figured I would encourage folks to listen harder instead of telling each other "they need to put more fire in the wire"
I agree, thanks for posting it but ... I'm waiting for the one to one single watt conversion from you
Digging weak signals out of the noise is one of my favorite pastimes since that's the only way to hear a weak signal at a great distance. Skip conditions were pretty non-existent and the airwaves were dead silent in my area but it was just enough conditions for the voices to barely come into my receiver. There's definitely voices hidden down inside that noise. The harder you concentrate the more you'll be able to hear.
rabbi, it occurs to me that much of the DX you've been talking about over the years might be explainable by the intricate process you've just described. No? A guy like me in the cab of a truck ain't got a chance :-O
