[Lowfer] new 500 kHz grabber

[Mike WE0H]

I hear it in CW mode on 511 along with OF. Whip up a 520kc lowpass 
filter tonight and try that out. I think mine is built for a 520kc cut 
off freq. Might be 515kc but something to help is better than nothing. 
Don't like that AM splattering...hi hi
I run a SA612 mixer with a 3.0mc reference to mix the 600m band up to 80 
meters. The lowpass filter is between the antenna and the mixer input. 
No BC birdies with that. WCCO 830kc is with in eye sight of here. 50kw 
day & night into a full quarter wave tower...hi hi
The 530kc utility stations can be a pain in the behind as some are wide. 
Also some Spanish stations come in about 530 or so kc some nights with a 
real wide over modulated signal. Silly. I only get slop from them if I 
go above 525kc listening to those NDB's up there. LYQ should be real 
strong on 529kc in CW mode. That is the Tennessee station with 100w and 
a real big antenna.
