	When my IZJ beacon is running (181.17) I can't get rid of a beat note
with KNX on 1070, about 30 miles from here.  It's the same with all
receivers so must be intermod in something else around here.

	I've copied my beacon out to about 120 miles using my favorite portable
receiver, a modified BC453A with dynamotor and amplified 3 foot loop. 
Haven't had much luck with other portables using small ferrite loops.
