Not DX judging by what I have read on the reflector, but quite pleasing to know my fledgling (Rx) system is actually working! ( and since you didn't seem to get a reply, I can assure you your Tx is working as well, Peter!) Seriously, I would be very grateful for any advice on what I should be able to hear (see) so that I can judge the efficacy of my setup, and hopefully set goals for improvement. Current equipment is - 1.5m x 1.5m square tuned loop in roofspace, MOSFET tuned RF amplifier with 4 tuned circuits, NE612 converter with 10.0000 MHz xtal osc (very easy for frequency readout) into TS130SE (no narrow IF filter) and 4 pole active RC filter with 110 Hz 6-dB bandwidth. Hope to be QRV myself in next couple of weeks, but only QRP - so stateside stations may experience difficulty with my signal! 73 de Paul, G4MD
