Not a good test as his receiver will be grossly overloaded. Could be
the result frequency drift resulting in the IF of the receiver moving
off the linear part of the discriminator. Although I still favour the
idea that the listener fell asleep. I myself have reached a semi
comatose state reading your posts, many times..

How unkind! I laughed, naturally.
