Hi Roelof
That would appear to be the first in, taking the +2 hour from the EA
data base 'off , matches up with the 'dot on the plot' , showing round

Ok on the filter , as long as it helps , racal went for wide band ,
anything tuned in the Ae cct degrade's the s/n, probably why the quest
for wide dynamic range , its true , using the pre-selector on the 1778
, raises the noise floor, the published Rx specifications , where in
wide band , in fact the pre-selector on the 1771/1772 was an option fit
and totally missing from the later models .
Hopefully might see some other Op8 / op36 from across the pond , in
the time to come..

Hello Graham,
Thanks again for the reception overview.
Lack of reception at the start might have been due to severe static.
See the attached Linrad overnight plot of VO1NA.
I have changed the front end filtering for the RTL SDR V3. It now
consists of a double tuned band pass filter with a -3 dB bandwidth
of about 12 kHz (loss 6 dB), followed by a tuneable pre-amplifier
with a gain of 20 dB.
I have measured the sensitivity of the RTL SDR V3 dongle. At 477 kHz
the MDS is -121 dBm in a 500 Hz bandwidth. At 100 kHz the MDS is -93
dBm.
73,
Roelof
