Hi - I really would like to = take on the RDF facility on SLabs and see where the signals are coming from= - it would not surprise me at all given experiences at MF/LF further Geo/M= ah North or South that we are getting skewing - especially as the poor elec= trons are having to negotiate the Auroral Oval twice even at low activity..= .. Yes the probe is probably a better overall choice in my location and ope= rability given the remote contol nature but I can select directivity with t= he K9AY's.

I was using a very short "cap" last nite - something lik= e 5cms - due to local 50Kwers.

Cheers
