To me a signal of 79 uVolts is something over S-9 on a receiver. Would a simple dipole or inverted Vee antenna with essentially no gain produce a whopping signal from the same source. Of course it would pick up noise as well but I would think it would not be of an equal S-9 level.
FWIW, my 90 foot 160 meter vertical routinely produces 79 uVolts from DX signals. Even FT5ZM on Amsterdam Island was in this range. Stateside big guns at 1000+ miles produce much more than this, 20 to 40 dB more. Rick N6RK _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
