Hi all

My comments were for those who had yet to hear SAQ first hand. Hajo the expert 
has provided an idea which I for one will be making thanks Reolof. I live next 
to 11kV country-side mains feed here. It's damp, frosty and foggy days (or a 
broken insulator) not all necessarily  at the same time when I suffer. I have a 
mast up 15m plus the 7/8ths 2m whip on top (clear of the house) that I use for 
receiving on MF/LF at times. The signals are weak from it but I use a dual gate 
mosfet which is very low noise that brings the signal up. The coax is grounded 
and shields domestic noise to some extent, SAQ comes in quite well on that set 
up.  You don't need a lot of gain into the sound card for the simple SAQ 
reception. But most modern RTX have very high gain front ends also mostly I use 
it straight into the RX. However noise is a big issue with so many sources now.

Anyway good luck Hajo.

 Hello Hajo,
 
 For optimum VLF use the
 BN-43-2402 should be a BN-73-2402
