I try all modes and then I am in a position to compare and pass judgement first hand.

Still regardless of circumstances receivers and antennas are poor generally and in some cases cannot cope with the environment.

It does not help of course with the QRP merchants putting out u/Watts. I work in QRO mode to give others a chance to RX

Hi Mal,

I was surprized to see your call on Opera.

Yes, your observations are correct, in the sense that most of the receivers aren't that bad, neither are the antenna's looking at them as plain transducers to/from EM-waves. The man-made local noise is what makes things so bad. Living in a dense urban environment has its disadvantages......

Nevertheless, LF/MF is very enjoyable for most of us I guess.

I am still busy finding and eliminating sources of noise in my home and neighbourhood, quite challenging at times, but part of the fun as well.

Not transmitting yet, but working on that too, hope to meet you on MF/LF in the  future, al well as all other LF/MF "addicts"

    Just looking at PA0A reports and they look vy poor which would indicate poor receivers es antennas, whereas my report was +3 dB
