Vern,

Is the loop tuned? Is there a preamp at the loop? How is the loop connected?

The signals are there. But WA, VD and NC are at a considerable distance from
you. If WE is operating, he would be closer (though his xmit loop
orientation may be an issue). Conditions were not good earlier this week,
and that may be part of the issue.
