There ya go.............Nightrider is a DXer!!!!!

 

[FL Native]

yep no doubt about it. 8)

Seven -Eighty- One out there have'in some fun !! tree top tall ,wall to wall ,on his little back pocket PC-122 , ouuuhhhhhh dooooooooooggiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee !!!!

 

[fortymobile]

DXer!!!!!?? that was ssb

 

[Lazybones1222]

DXer!!!!!?? that was ssb

You got to use SSB to be a DXer? I did not know that 40.

 

[fortymobile]

Any Mudduck can talk ssb..... i would not call that Dx'n

 

[nightrider]

ssb ???? am ??????? it doesnt matter, talking dx is talking dx dont matter what mode your in, let me put it this way talking like a black man, when you are a white man, doesnt matter you are still a white man, wanting to be a black man, so it doesnt matter how you talk, what you talk on, what mode you use, talking is talking !!! so go yank on your big ol johnson and shut the fuck up !!!!!!

SSB-ver-AM
(1) Since the carrier is not transmitted, there is a reduction by 50%
of the transmitted power (-3dBm). --In AM @100% modulation: 1/2 of the power is comprised of the carrier; with the remaining (1/2) power in both sidebands.

(2) Because in SSB, only one sideband is transmitted, there is a further reduction
by 50% in transmitted power (-3dBm (+) -3dBm = -6dBm).

(3) Finally, because only one sideband is received, the receiver's needed
bandwidth is reduced by one half--thus effectively reducing the
required power by the transmitter another 50% (-3dBm (+) -3dBm (+) -3dBm = -9dBm). --Remember, if a receiver's bandwidth can be reduced by 50%: the needed transmitter power is also reduced by 50%, i.e., the receiver's Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is improved as the receiver bandwidth is reduced. This of course implies that the signal containing the information is not lost--which is the case in this instance.

Example: A FREEBANDER running 2000 Watts AM, would sound no better than another
HAM running 250 Watts PEP (Peak Envelop Power) on-SSB.

:?: :?: Lets not forget about selective fading of one sideband of an AM signal causing phase distortion of the audio which is a major reason AM does not work as well in adverse conditions.The narrow the bandwidth the better.

nevermind

Dx is DX 4040. Get a grip

thats says it lazybones right there !! , its all about conditions plain and simple, i made as many or more contacts that day on 28 am as i did 38 lsb mother nature had her skirt up and i was checking out the beaver !!!
