They're Listening and Recording

A few days ago I was in a chat with some friends on 10 meters SSB and we were discussing audio quality and troubleshooting some audio of another operator.   It reminded me of an episode that I wanted to forward on here.

In 2020, when I was really much more active on 40 meters, I had a huge wire antenna (horizontal loop, roughly 500-550 feet circumference and 100+ feet high in cedar trees).    One late evening I heard a CQ DX from a station in Indonesia YB3DY, and I dropped my call.




Unbeknownst to me, he actually was recording his session in the shack and then posted it to YouTube.

I had no idea until weeks later.

Here is the session.   It was interesting to me to hear my signal on his radio.

Anyway, enjoy.
