This time no LF experiments were planned and no MF / 630m, because the band isn't still allocated in France. The WX was bad, no wind but mostly raining.

My last chance was to use a simple piece of wire, connected to the RX. It turned out that it was very easy there in the open field to get some very good results! I just took a simple wire, 10 m long, dropped in some nearby (wet) hedge. The RX was then grounded by a 10cm long/deep tent peg. No matching transformer or resonance circuit was used! Outside the city and far enough away from DCF39, AFN and DLF it was quite easy to get a nice S/N from the transmitting stations. The background noise was 20 dB above the RX+soundcard noise. I've been active for just a few hours and these are the best S/N reports for the active stations (thanks to them for the interesting tests).
