Readability: 5

Rx Location: Southern California west coast, USA
Equipment: Drake R8B
Antenna: Datong Model IB5 active rotatable dipole
Azimuth: ~60* - ~240* True

How's your reception of 11880 kHz? It's usually the best frequency
at that time, here in Seattle.

11880.0 is pretty marginal here now on a 40' indoor longwi S7 to
S5. SINPO: 24222.

Switching to the Datong dipole and reorienting the antenna to an
azimuth of ~340* - ~160* True results in improved readability and less
noise: S7 to S5. SINPO: 25333.

Peaking at S5 here with a 200' wire.
