I have the RX on and will check every hour for DCF39 using a new resonant loop antenna I have just put up two days ago. It is tuned to 138.83. If DCF39 goes way up I will switch resonant plug ins to 137.77 and start phoning those for whom I have phone numbers. The new antenna has cut Loran-C interference way down, I have a hard time seeing Loran-C lines on the screen now. Larry VA3LK
