Stefan,

It'll be pretty noisy tonight, so I won't be running.

Mike,

Interesting to read about your RX equipment. Sounds like a bit effort but must be a great fun as well :-)  I like the different antennas, and i'm glad to read that there is interest to get my signals.
Well, you could have asked to QSY a bit, so i'm not right on your QRM traces. Or would this be some kind of cheating?
Maybe it's a good night again, graphs on http://lasp.colorado.edu/space_weather/dsttemerin/dsttemerin.html look quite promising...

73, Stefan

Markus:  I do not think the QRM signals are spurious. I have built the W1VD preselector for 475~500 kHz range and the offending signals are still present when the preselector is used.  Same with the FZ-02 filter.  There are some commercial and retail shops to my NE about 300~400 meters away, possible that is the source.  However, the offending QRM signals are not consistent in frequency or strength from one day to the next.  QRM signals are not very strong, but strong enough to interfere with a -27 to -30 SNR desired signal.  
 
  I use a pair of crossed EWE antennas to have four-way selectable cardio patterns for NE, SW, SE, and NW directional reception. If I switch to the NW direction, the QRM signals go away, but then directivity to DK7FC would be about 4~5dB down.  To the SW and SE directions some QRM sources disappear, and other QRM sources appear.  I may try some phase steering between the two EWE antennas. It is an ongoing learning process. Random chance could always prevail, so I continue to listen, tinker, and occasionally even learn something ~:). 73,

Looks like Stefan ran into a Loran line... but wait, Loran is no longer there in North America, and anyway we're on MF not LF. Mike any idea what is causing those spurs?
