use to log lots of DX stations like Michael Bryant when I was out in the
rural countryside with lots of property and good antennas. So I have no
question that Bryant is logging all those stations. Wonder what he uses for
antennas??

That's one of the reasons I haven't been posting as many lists lately. I live
in an apartment in an industrial suburban part of Louisville. I mainly use
about thirty feet of internal random wire, two West and North-pointing Sony
AN-LP1s, an MFJ 1020, and two of the Radio Shack Amplified SW antennas.

The point of these logs are that I'm hearing them on a new Degen 1103. With
just the extendable antenna rod!! It beats my 7600G even when the 7600G is
hooked to one of the AN-LP1s. The sensitivity seems to be much better than the
SW77.

I think this reflects some recent improvements in propagation, but the 1103 is
a hot receiver. I need to find a way to hook it up to an external antenna.

Impressed.

Sounds more to me that you are doing something wrong with the AN_LP1 /
7600G. That is if you are not just making it all up.
