Ray,
I heard you solid, 589, with some QSB, but never faint.  I didn't reply because I was going back and forth to 145.825 to see if the packet was operational (it was not).  I did not hear the reported QRM from packet bursts over that pass (Pacific, SoCal, & Baja).

---- original message -----
I heard myself calling CQ for about 2 minutes, peaking 569, but  no takers 
that I could hear.  Then, about 2 minutes later, I heard  AA5PK calling CQ, 
about the same strength, but I could no longer hear  myself.
 
It's a challenge!
