           Enhanced SSB Audio                                                                                 
           My main interest in enhanced SSB audio started in 1997 gained from where I had been listening to G0BBD & Co a few years earlier on
           the 20m band. Over the air with the help of Ed G0BBD I built my first equaliser which consisted of a potentiometer, a few resistors and
           capacitors soldered to the mic jack jack of the transceiver in the shape of a ball.This added a touch of high bass and width to the D104
           crystal mic and my interest grew from there.
           Most of the stations at that time who were interested in essb were mainly from the States with only the odd one or two from Europe. Most
           days you will usually find me around 14.178 mhz qso'ing over the pond.

          Transceiver at the moment is a self modified Kenwood 950 SDX
