1962 OO Report

1966 OO Report

These two Official Observer reports were sent by the same Kilocycle Kop, Ed, for the same "rough tone" complaint over a span of 3½years.   Interestingly, I was using different transmitters each time.  And yes, I was having trouble with the transmitters at these times.  

So thanks Ed.  Without your diligence, I would never have experienced the thrills of receiving Official Observer reports.

A note about "ROUGH TONE"

UPDATE:

52 Years after these OO reports were received, K9FH received another OO report. This time it was for having a signal with "chirps" while operating during the 2018 Novice Rig Roundup with a modified DX-20 transmitter and homebrew VFO.

And the modern OO reports for chirp just keep on coming!  Chirp chip chirp chip, chirp chirp chip chirp!
