Even though the captures were on the weak side they show there is no 
difference in the test loop's signal if I disconnect the big loop. Was 
interesting that on average, over the total of all the captures, neither 
loop prevailed. There are long periods where one is stronger than the other, 
however. These signals are just .... different. Could be the different 
frequency or the pattern difference. Oh that's a thought - are the two 
signals in a typical Lowfer DFM capture always the same strength?

Wonder if there is any FCC objection to sending two separate 1W signals 
spaced 0.5Hz apart. That would allow for a propagation diffences and insure 
improved average reception. The loops would have to be separated by quite a 
distance to prevent magnetic field interaction.

Thanks,
Bill
