My take on this morning was closer to Gary's (and, a bit) to Walt's rather than Bruce's. Best in a while, especially if one turned off the radio after 1430UT; really not much sunrise enhancement today, though 747 was heard with weak audio at 1555UT (JOIB still on?? when did NHK2 s/off today

The one on Ebay is missing the large base (platform) that the loop swivels and sits on, and the control box has damage to the finish. The seller told me that "you can make your own base... it's a minor matter". I beg to differ... :^) 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA > -- Forwarded messag
