Hi Bill:
This is Clark, VE3BOF, in Hensall, Ontario, Canada.
Hensall is located in southwestern Ontario, north of London and a 2
hour drive west of Toronto.
Last Sunday night, 2017-10-01, I tuned in to 7277 kHz to listen to
the BitX40 net. I heard you and 2 or 3 others.
Your signal was 5-7, perfectly readable.
The receiver I was using is a modified version of the WBR receiver.
It is still on the piece of chipboard that I mounted all the modules
onto. It's an excellent little regenerative receiver.
In the same state of incompleteness, is a modified version of the
Easy Receiver (QRP Kits) direct-conversion receiver,
I use this receiver for the CW end of the 40M band.
Both receivers have been fitted with 10-turn pots for easy tuning,
and also lcd frequency counters for displays.
I'm a former Motorola Communications tech, and used to maintain the
radio systems of District 6 of the Ontario Provincial Police and our Ministry
of Health emergency services radio system.
Being retired now, I have more time to check Soldersmoke every day
and listen to your
conversations with Pete, N6QW.
Thank you for very interesting and worthwhile QRP information and
programming.
Clark Forrest, VE3BOF
Love the random collection of speaker magnets. Reminds me of my youth...
