David E . Rays - 5121 Radnor Road - Iniiianapolia 26, Indiana Greetings, After ca l l ing the power company I f i n a l l y got r i d of my power lire leakage, f o r a while, anyway. I have noticed a f luorescent l i g i t on A.hT probably a s to re l i g h t , but there are none f o r a m i l e o r so so X l l l j u s t have to take the ca r out a d s t a r t looking, hi. I t wasnl t very strong bough, a s l a s t Monday Ahri ne t ted DOI-1380 i n with a good s ignal and JOBK-670 I ' m qu i te sure. I t wasnt t a spurious response, a s I tm d the whole BCB on another radio. Anynay my HQ-180 has a spurious response re jec t ion of 60 db, and about 8 0 dbl s worth of image re jec t ion , They went in to a slow deep fade, character iskic of Asians. Of courss, i t had to fade at 5:00 I D . Oh wel l , X ' l 1 jus t keep t rying f o r an ID although I have enough f o r a tenta t ive , a s they b d a strong sig- na l on fadein. Stronger than PRH-9-840 but not a s strong ae CX-28 a s they were rea l ly booming in on 1215. CrrS;\iil s OC seems to be o f f every I\Fonlay Ah4 t i l l about 4:00 o r so and.

These eruptions occur c o s t f reqmnt ly a f t e r a sunspot pead li~hich has recently occurred, so that would seem to explain it. Ma~r CX a r e f a i r , as some TPs and SAs have made it here.
