Yes I'm hearing it here in Arkansas as well. Peaks to the NE around 45
to 50 degrees. Its about 15 dB above my noise floor here.

It's also very strong in the greater Boston area. The signal is very steady
with only a few dB of very slow fading. I get a heading of roughly SE,
which would put it towards Cape Cod or Rhode Island, but it could be
anywhere between E and S. It doesn't exhibit strong directivity on my
8-circle
Thanks guys. It just stopped at 6:57 pm EST.

Yes, it is about 10 over 9 in central Virginia and hearing it best to my NE.

Receiving strong carrier on 1828.5 KHz that sounds like sky wave. Its
currently peaking 30 db over my noise floor at 6:40pm EST (2340 UTC), and
it has an approximate heading of 55 degrees from the Indianapolis area
(Fishers IN) which puts it on a line that goes from my location through the

Tim,
I am *very* interested it this! Please, if you get any private messages,
post them here so we can benefit from this.
Many hams have testified that Linrad is absolutely the best SDR software
available for eliminating noise. I played with Linrad and a Softrock
Ensemble II RX some time back,
I decided to make a GP from my 27 meter height tower 4 days before 160m ww
contest. Unfortunately just 8 radials. What do you think about only 8 radials?

Glad to hear you are having good results with your FCP.
What is the basis for your estimate of a 4-6 db improvement? Which prior
antenna configuration was your improvement based on (or i.e. which was
the 2nd runner-up)

Same here. I've been very satisfied with my FCP both on 160 and on 80m
antennas. My problem is quite high noise floor and a lack of space for
special rx antennas - not being heard by others with good rx antennas.

After trying buried radials, surface radials and elevated radials with my
inverted L, I finally put up an FCP a few days ago. The difference is amazing
and I reckon my signal into NA has gone up by 4-6 dB. As I only have a fairly
small tree available the vertical section of the antenna only
13 matches
