I have started to make short audio recordings of stations on the band to give you all an idea of my receiver performance. You will find these at: http://my.opera.com/davews/blog/2007/06/05/500khz-recordings At the moment there are only G3KEV, G3UNT, G3VTT and G3XIZ there, but I will add to it from time to time until most of the active stations are there. (if anybody does NOT want to be there, please let me know and I will remove them). It is difficult to indicate actually signal strength from an audio recording. Most of the above were s8-s9 on the meter and you will see that the signal to noise ratio is excellent with all of them way above the noise. Hope this is of interest. By the way I noticed that GW3UEP was to be on the band this morning from 0545 local. By the time I had seen his email it was already 0640 and I heard nothing of him on 502.0. I don't think I have heard Roger yet, but that sort of time is rather early even for me! 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com
