Dave, LF,
GW4HXO is quite a bit stronger now, and clearly audible in a 1.74 Khz
bandwidth (Wierd SPM-30 feature) I'd give him 439 by ear. My background
noise level is sitting at -74 dBm, and Mike is a dB or two above that.
(About 50 micro-volts at the RX terminals)
I'm using a 20m long "Tee" at 6m, tuned with a big coil which is
link-coupled to the RX. It does pick up a lot of SMPSU crud from nearby
wiring. A loop would be much quieter.
I'll leave ARGO running overnight to see what happens to the signal levels
around dawn.

Still amazed at the difference in reception between Bracknell and
Iver (the whole of about 10 miles...). Currently hearing (and not
much different from midday here) with my two ears.....
505.15 DI2BE 569
503.8 GW4HXO 559, very consistent all day
503.75 G0MRF 599
503.65 G4WGT 579
503.2 GI4PDE traces, was solid earlier
502.2 G3XIZ in QSO with G3UNT both 599
501.5 GW3UEP 329
(All frequencies approximate, difficult to read to 10Hz accuracy when
tuning CW by ear...).
I can even hear 'HXO and 'WGT under 'MRF's psk in my 400Hz filter
A couple of CQs from here earlier went unanswered...
