[Lowfer] New to the list. A few questions re: Lowfers and longwave

Yeah... just a low hiss, is all I hear... I disconnected the dipole and ran
a long wire to the center conducted, turned on the pre-amp, and heard
nothing but hiss. Hm, I'll have to download Argo and see if I can pick up a
signal that way.

Thanks!

Jackie
