[Elecraft] K3 receive on .474.2 kHz

[Fred Jensen]

Is this some form of WSPR or QRSS?  Neither existed when the Holy 
Frequency was the world's party line, and copying traffic with cans and 
a mill with negative SNR's is definitely hard. :-)  It is true however 
that with today's signal processing capabilities, "conductor in the air" 
will work pretty good as a receiving antenna at MF.  I ran a single wire 
from the base of my flag pole on the corner of the deck into the shack 
and I can find a number of NDB's at the 200-400 km range.  KPH booms in 
on Saturdays on 426 KHz.

I'm anxious to try the new synthesizer at MF, there is some 80 meter 
leakage using my Palomar up-converter that should disappear and now that 
LORAN-C is QRT, things are fairly quiet.
