Hi Bob,
The Midland & Clegg receivers would be stomped
on like a "narc at a biker rally"... at most
of the major high level sites where the noise
floor is mostly a disaster and the rf is intense.
Nothing like a multi-kw FM Station or two, or
three or five nearby to let you know how good
a project builder you are.
Once in a while you can get lucky using the
Midland & Clegg Radio Receivers at a more
quiet site.
cheers,
skipp
