I did listen at the weekend but the local noise level was a lot worse than today. Interestingly the local noise level seemed to decrease a little at about 0900BST. I suppose this coincides with the end of the Breakfast News programs on TV. I was using a 26t 1.2m diam passive loop tuned with about 500pF (I think), tapped at 2t with coax feed (abt 5m RG58) to an AOR 7030 rx fitted with (and using) a Collins 500 Hz filter. The loop was positioned in a roughly N-S plane from my location which is 5 miles East of Ipswich (JO02pb). I tried a variety of integration times on Spectrogram right out to about 5 secs, but no signs of a trace from you. I must admit I have still to hear an amateur signal on 73kHz. 73 de Alan G3NYK Alan.Melia@btinternet.com
