Signal was weak but readable. I've always had better reception of the first session during past attempts. Had three receiving setups to A/B/C. All three shared the same antenna - a 1 meter modified Amrad e probe. Perseus > Delta 44 Delta 44 (Winrad software) HP3586C SLM > Delta 44 The HP3586C setup was the best of the lot by a small but noticeable amount. I've found this to also be true at 8.97 kHz running tests with W1VLF and listening to the alpha stations. Not sure why this is. It doesn't appear to be a sensitivity issue as all three setups hear the natural noise floor. A short MP3 of this morning's reception can be found at http://www.w1vd.com/capture/SAQ070410B.mp3 .
