While at the last club meeting, John (N0WJS) noticed that those spikes on the 7300 waterfall at 80m were 1340 radio traffic. John and Ben had mentioned the Morgan BCI filters. I was curious to see how well they
worked so i bought one to satisfy my curiosity.
I received the filter in the mail from R and L the other day. Drove up to Kearney yesterday to see if it would make any difference on our problem.
Before:
 After:
 It makes a big difference. The ground lug is not attached to ground yet since the new grounding wire and bar have not been installed yet. Texted John and let him know what we found. When John got home from work we had a short QSO on 3.982 and I was getting
him at about 55-56. While talking to John, Mike N0BAV joined in and I had a short QSO with him with about the same signal levels as John. The antenna up there still needs some work since it is not resonant on 20m and other bands.
Also worked with Darrin and Buffalo County IT to update the VARA software to the latest version. After the new version was installed, I connected to an HF gateway and sent some text messages to test Winlink.
