On Wednesday around local sunset, I did a little DXing out of the car at the Tonset Road site in Orleans, MA (GC= 41.7346 N / 69.991 W).
Receiver was the Perseus and antenna the car-roof-mounted 2m by 2m "micro-SuperLoop" ( http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/loop/car_roof_loop.htm ). It will take several days (at least) to compile a log report but, in the meantime, here are a few audio clips of the action. I have been having difficulty posting and sharing these in Yahoo groups lately so I have uploaded them to another server to which I have access.
