Last night around 00z I could hear GI4DPE beaconing, in the clear at ~R3-4 in Worcestershire, both on the ferrite or whip, and also on the matching Tecsun AN-200 MW loop anteanna, which tunes down to ~510kHz unmodified. Sensitivity is much lower at 136 on the ferrite, with DCF39 only R4 in daytime.
