Getting about +10 dB Eb/N0 on new E-field and about +6 dB Eb/N0
on H-field.

An unusual message, though.  Thought it might be a false
decode, but it's equally false on both nights?

If it degrades over time to produce noise, I would not be
able to tell!  Perhaps the next new rx will be a differential
probe... the ground connection then will only serve to
sink any common mode interference coming up the feeder.

The new E-field rx is also showing up the poor performance
of H rx at the lower frequencies.  H is due for replacement/
upgrade next year.   That will be a more difficult job!
