I have no idea what the 24 bits would buy you in this application. Maybe if
the antenna were constructed from Monster Cable!

Anyway, I think that the next upping of the really weak signal ante would
have to come from abandoning sound cards and their sloppy time bases. With
GPS-locked time bases and custom external hardware, we could get some
improvement. BUT, this is all very tecchie stuff that's going to scare the
average guy away. Not the effect you desire.
