That was my mistake. A 30 ' random wire fed into the SDR IQ yielded only a
handful of 9 kHz split stations, and lots of noise. Next time!

Wishful thinking, I guess, Gary. Now, is there a simple way of converting
the failed FSL/FLG 100 combo to the traditional setup? Is it simply a
matter of switching out the FLG and replacing it with a variable capacitor?

Sigh! A good idea, but as you say, a small diameter Wellbrook loop fits
the bill nicely, except for the lack of backside suppression, which is less
of an issue at Rockwork. After my poor experience of a random wire to a

By January standards, this was a lively morning, with several odd DUs
in addition to the usual Japanese big guns. Some enhancement near
sunrise, but plenty going on earlier also.

One super minor suggestion. The part number on the Ace Hardware level could
be helpful in case a local store might need to order and maybe a shot of
what it looks like "on the shelf"
Amazing work and attention to detail

Hello All,
The first of the new hard-wired FSL models specifically designed to have an

If they are off the air then this might explain why I've never heard them
here, unless they are the source of the screeching sidebands on 1500 (which
