The signal has improved since s/on. Currently about S4-5 here on the R8 with a
70' wire. They generally play some good oldies.

The carrier is barely detectable here, no speech from the noise. QTH nr
Sydney.

1:43 UTC I'm still getting it here but it is weak. I've got my R75 in LSB
with pre-amp 2 turned on. I need to tweak the PBT and use some NR too in
order to clean it up to listen too. Currently news/information.

Isn't pre-amp 2 in the R75 for use in the 50-60 MHz range?

I generally don't run pre-amp here.

Pre-amp # 2 gives amplification above that of pre-amp # 1 from the bottom of
the tuning dial all the way to the top. So, unless my R75 is a mutant, it
is not only for 50-60 MHz. Regardless, it also amplifies the noise, so I
rarely use any pre-amp unless on a weak signal. With any pre-amp on, I
usually also use some NR to chill things out a bit.
