I was going for a Cup of Joe Patio 40m #SKCCgroup #QSO party contacts with @Buddipole #buddipolepowermini #ft891 but not with a +S9 noise floor. Everyday all at my #QTH #amateurradio #hamradio
@N4JAW oof! It was up to 5 here last night (plus lightning) so I stuck with FT8.
@N4JAW Jim, I have to wonder how much RFI you are getting from the charge controller. I know that mine is pretty noisy on certain freqs.
@aszy Your wonders are VALID. A LOT. I found that out during 2017 Field Day I just connected to get it to the FLOAT point and then disconnected when operating. This is my normal noise floor. The AC unit nearby didn't help either.
