Hi Nick, <<< Do you receive HLQH-558 particularly at your location? I've been finding this season that HLQH is usually considerably more readable than HLSA-603 here, as if the latter is undermodulated. I don't think there is a new noise source around 600kHz drowning it out. >>> Actually 558-HLQH has had pretty good signal strength here as well, Nick, but it suffers greatly from 560-KPQ splatter at this location. As you are aware the ferrite-based antennas have no back side rejection here such as they would at a solid rock ocean cliff location like Rockwork, and even with the modest DSP selectivity currently offered in Ultralight radios the signal from 558-HLQH routinely gets plastered by KPQ splatter here. <<< You've usually had better signals overall on the low band Asians ... >>> In comparison to large broadband single-loop antennas the FSL's seem to perform relatively well on the lower MW frequencies, so I think that this has some relationship to what you have observed in the daily TP reports, Nick. Similar results have been obtained during DXpeditions on the Rockwork 4 cliff, where the small broadband loops + Perseus-SDR's dominate on the high band while the monster FSL's + Ultralights dominate on the low band. Bruce lives only about 40 miles from me, and both he and you routinely report various high band TP's that never show up here. Maybe the grass is always greener on the other side? 73, Gary

Hi Gary, Do you receive HLQH-558 particularly at your location? I've been finding this season that HLQH is usually considerably more readable than HLSA-603 here, as if the latter is undermodulated. I don't think there is a new noise source around 600kHz drowning it out. You've usually had better signals overall on the low band Asians, but I haven't seen much mention of HLQH. best wishes, Nick At 11:29 12-03-16, you wrote: >.......The MP3 of 603-HLSA at 1337 was far and >away the best signal that this tiny stand-alone >model has ever received from the station..... 603 HLSA Namyang, S.
