You may need to try a receiving loop antenna to null out the noise. I do not currently experience problems with NELS stations on 136. Vaerlandet is about 350km SW of me, and Bo is 700 km or so to the north (Norway *is* a long country :-) Take into consideration that most of you are 1000 km away or more. Only OZ, SM and a couple of OH-stations are closer than that. --Magne
