Walt, Sorry for the issue in the 16:1 matching transformer for your West Corner fed loop. But to be honest, you probably didn't miss very much in the way of TP-DXing yesterday morning. As Nick has also reported, it was mainly the regular big gun Asian signals, with a few other odd stations

There seems to be an issue with the Arris modems for RF noise. I checked online and found a few complaints. There is little shielding in the plastic boxes and since the only compatible dual modems for cable seems to be Arris ones, it looks like my only choice is to just switch it off when
