Hello Laurie
You are weak but audible up here in the NE just north of Whitley Bay.
IO95FB 55N 1.54W
Receiving on an Icom PCR1000 with a 1 meter square loop spiral wound
sitting a few feet away from me in the shack.
No tx here on any band at the moment except 70cms and we are to far
apart for that.

Hi Les,
Many thanks for the report, there does not seem to be much activity today did hear G3KEV earlier, he ought to be a big signal with you,also DL3FDWO calling for OH or SM, HI.
Thanks for info on your equipment , you are doing pretty well with a small loop indoors, no doubt you get quite a lot of mains bourne interference, would be a good idea to site the Ant. outside the house if possible. Also a larger loop might give you a better sig/noise (that is Rx noise ) ratio.
Running here 1W ERP , the TX is a Racal Decca at about 800 W and the Tx Ant a vert. 50' high with 600' of top load. Rx Ant, large wire loop in the trees 20' high and 200' long.Home made tuned pre-amp to old IC781, which is just fine on 137.
Hope to hear you on some time, and a X band QSO would be great. ( I am QRV on 160/80/40)
Many 73 Laurie
