What kind of overloading do people noted on the Quantum? I don't
notice any, but perhaps I am not looking for it. Or perhaps my
Quantum is immune from overloading.

I have no overloading on my Quantum loop when I use it in Oklahoma or
at Grayland and I love it. However at my home place here 20 sea
miles south of Vancouver, with many Canadian blowtorches looking at
me, I have signals at many places on the dial, usually over or under
real signals at

Another prime offender in the late 1990's was WBCA which basically was on
with day power long into the evenings every night, if not AN and for several
years quite commonly.

S9+50's can be real bad news. I think you'll end up using a passive phaser
and in the rare cases where you may need a bit of amplification, use a good

Quite a few carriers here Nick. With just the usual 4 (153, 189 1134 and
1215) producing audio. Strangely, 1215 was about the best. 153 and 189 were
barely above the noise floor. Nothing noted on 999 and 1503, tho there were
carriers on 1575 and 1584.
