I had decent copy of SAQ's 1200 UTC transmission this morning, at our
Maine QTH (FN43sv). The antenna was a 150m wire on the ground in the
woods, into a preamp, through a CAT5 feedline to the shack. An audio
transformer was used to couple into a lap-top, and I ran the SAQ
receiver file on SpecLab.
The only problem was the loud static clicks and the long release time of
the AGC in that SAQ module for SpecLab. A loud click could wipe out most
of a word, and I decided not to play with the settings during the
message. Actual copy was limited to about 70% as a result. Not bad, though.
Any other reports from this side of the pond?
