Thanks Eric but as we all know the impressive part is being able to pull such a
weak signal from the noise.  I had a tone modulated medfer on for a while about 30
years ago.  About one mile was my best DX while receiving with a car radio.  I
figure the antenna I now use is more efficient but the big difference is the mode
and present receive capabilities.
