The USCG shut down LORAN-C last year, and the Middletown CA station no longer overloads everything, regardless of the filters. It was huge here in Auburn, maybe 130 km or a bit more, at night running close to -20 dBm, sometimes stronger. I was hearing its products weakly on 160 ... not kidding, bigger signal than some local 50KW AM stations. I have the KBPF3, or whatever it is called, and I hear down to 500 KHz just fine. Even copied a couple of the XSH stations near the Holy Frequency. Nice radio, Wayne. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
