Hi Terry,

I agree with what you are saying.

I do not think that is the case for me. I have used the k9AY & 1530 for
several years & with various receivers. 756PRO, RX340, AR7030 & many
more.

Good example. At 17:00 utc there is a pirate on 6.925 in am mode not
USB. It is not real strong here with some fading on the signal. Decent
copy on the K9AY but better copy on the 1530 as less noise on the
signal but it is 1-2 sunits lower on the JRC NRD545 receiver I am using
right now.

Well it was a thought.

I am kind of bummed out.

The WX was forecast to be raining this morning with broken clouds this
afternoon. It has been raining, to be vulgar but accurate, like a cow
on a
rock. I can'w work outside becuase of the rain. And I can't haul the
new
radio desk we made at a friends wood shop because I only have access
to a open pick up.

Bummer!

I did manage to errect the AD370 during a lull and for giggles and
grins
I errected the active dipole that came with a circa 1986 OEM-10 WWV
"precission clock/time receiver" that I was given because it was one of
the few really Y2K non-compliant devices I have seen. The ROM doesn't
support years beyond 1999. Not a problem for me as I almost always
know what year it is! I have one EW and the other NS. So the evening
isn't a complete bust.

However I am reduced to operating from the kitchen table.

At least we don't have any lightning near by.
