I live within sight of WLW which presents serious reception problems. The answer for me has been the high pass filter made by Clifton Labs. It's worth every penny. http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/z10023a_elliptic_high_pass_filter.htm

I have been wondering what others have done to remedy this. I have considered 1) a preselector/antenna tuner to greatly narrow the spectrum bandwidth seen by the front end, using my existing inverted L antenna; 2) a tunable narrow loop antenna; or 3) an upconverter to tune longwave and AM broadcast at, say, 4 MHz. I wonder if anyone on the reflector has any wisdom to impart on this subject. Thanks, Kevin. _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
