 its a very (very) quiet night so far on LF/MF which may signify = ;either very good or very bad, and am present looking for signals from NA&= nbsp;-
 
 
Im not that good to tell you which until Eu gets dark. Its not been very= good the past day or so with mediocre signals on 137 from DCF39 et al &nb= sp;- still Ill be looking on any desired freq.
 
I can hear Loran clatter on 137 which means the local QRN is very low and= NDB "DD" (Located near Xlbreast, China) :-) is putting is a Fully develop= ed signal. 
 
Nice clear night here already and looking for some nice shooting star= s..saw a couple of
spectacular ones last week in Mexico.
 
Anybody want to comment on whether their audio spectrum output from= their SDR IQ is a bit "lumpy" with not exactly flat levelling across the= 1-4Khz range? Maybe my soundcard but I see some variations of a couple of= dBs on this one...
