Laurie - thanks for the signals - theyve really helped me to hone the syste=
m here and go for that final dB or so. Appreciate the time given.
=20
Overall European sigs were down from the past couple of nights and certainl=
y poorer than recent times so just uncorrelated signals received from you, =
though I do need to look at the captures a bit more today after this first =
cup of coffee
=20
 I played with a rough diversity system to see if I can steer some of the t=
hor qrm out of the equation but the qrn is unsurprisingly fairly omni here =
at the moment given the local season and monsoons around me.=20
=20
Now that Ive played with two rx's, two antennaes and found that my rx s/s+n=
 signals from both are within a dB on the longhaul this is a good start. Es=
tablishing the baseline was an aim this week and Im now happy on what Im se=
eing.
=20
When we can, Ill be shoving up the  multi loop amp/remote tuned unit and  c=
ompare on this against the others and tend to use DCF39 as the source and s=
pectrumlab as the leveling tool. It may give me a couple dBs noise advantag=
e depending on the cosine rule of the local, or not so local storms.
=20
The loop cant stay up on the roof during the day as its more than an eye ca=
tcher, more like a thor catcher, so has to be taken down at dawn. This isnt=
 such a pain as I have an internal alcove and with a stressed ladder as the=
 support its just a matter of adding sections of interlocking PVC tubing to=
 take it above the roof level.=20
=20
One of the probes does keep it head above the skyline but lower that the ne=
arby tv support mast (no tv qrm!) so hoping that Ive got a cone of protecti=
on. Not lost a FET yet on any of the travels, but coax is another matter!
=20
Thanks and see you when you can come on again.=20
=20
If anyone else wants to shove out a few Watts, clean out them spiders, any =
mode any time, please shove me an email.
=20
I am looking at 500 Khz too but yet to see anything from the higher Eu ERPd=
 stations.
