Unfortunately, nothing at all seen here on 6470Hz. Using the same 
system as on 8270, but with filter frequency changed, so should be 
OK. I am not using any preamplification here, just the LF antenna 
straight into the sound card (with a little filtering to get rid of 
hum and HF), so maybe the antenna is less efficient at this 
frequency. Will investigate further.
