Good work Walt - you are working way harder than I am! I keep trying different deployments of the ALA100M as there is a 12kv line about 160 feet away and with all the salt spray here, there is an s4 to s9 level of frying static across 1/2 the MW band and the entire LW band... Sometimes it subsides after midnight. There is also TVI across the MW band and a good part of SW and this also vanishes after midnight - cap that off with a variety of hash noises that are likely old style light dimmers. I have gone down by the pool quite a few times and it is very very quiet there. 10 more days and then home to the rain. -- ..........................................................................................
