I put up the Wellbrook LFL-1010 active receiving loop this weekend, with good results so far.  TH, at 44 miles distance, was received RST 579.  NWNJ, at about 40 miles, RST 559.  JJX, at about 30 miles, RST 449, all on CW.

I've installed Argo build 1.31, and will be looking for more distant stations.  The receiver is a Datong VLF converter into a Yaesu FT-102 with 250 Hz Fox-Tango filters.

73,
