Roger - are you sure you weren't over saturated?  Was your AGC level at 0?

I was able to work KB8U in EN71sw on PSK-31. Thanks Russ!  Signals were 
very strong at the beginning, but copy was intermittent.  Russ turned 
his beam away and got 100% copy for a while.  I did also. However the 
band faded and the copy did too.  It seemed as though the signal 
strength had to be in a sweet spot for solid copy.  I may have some 
transmitter drift causing problems too.  In my IC-746, the fan comes on 
every time I transmit, and this causes the oscillator to drift.  when I 
stop transmitting, the frequency drifts back to "normal".  I have seen 
this effect also on JT-65b.  It looks like I need to dig into my rig and 
make the N0UK mods.
