Antenna inverted L ; 16 ft vertical with 100 ft. top. earthed to water pipe via two off-the-shelf-reels of hook up wire [length and inductance unknown ] in series but not inter-coupled . Coils at 12 foot level - upstairs shack . Tap rx across the lower of the reels Play about adding subtracting reels while listening to nearby (near 17.2 Khz. ) unidentified carriers. Not exactly an exact science but it worked two years running. Much static - need selective ears. The mains RX chassis is earthed to mains earth = same water pipe. so probably bad ground loop inviting mains borne interference but I refuse to make posh installation for two 2 minute transmissions per annum.!!

Here in the North-East corner of England, I heard absolutely nothing, much to my surprise and disappointment. Clearly, my home-brew receiving system wasn't sensitive enough, despite my efforts. So I would really be pleased to get technical details from anyone who actually managed to receive the signals, such that I can be ready for the New Year's SAQ schedule? Any ideas please? 73 de Ed.
