No stations above 1600kHz this morning, Guy? 1611 and 1629 were briefly close to audio here for a minute or two. The noise in your small Flag seems quite bad. A small (4' on a side) ALA100 east-west loop here delivers -115dB (relative to full scale on the NetSDR) below 520kHz, and -105dB

A decidedly poorer morning than yesterday. But1611 and 1629 both had near imaginary audio on ragged carriers for a couple of minutes around 1321UT this morning, so, something to watch. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): Not quite; HL

This morning brought somewhat better DX results at the Rockworks 4 cliff, although we've come to expect MUCH better when DXing at the coast. See below for my meager catch of three TPs and four Kiwi stations. A return to the ALA100M electronics that I used in November made my loop antenna work as i
