Andy: Looks like your improvements have paid off. I captured XR and CV from about 0200 and this morning at 0800 UTC. This is the first capture of XR this season....my loop is fixed east-west and you are normal to the loop which normally prevents me from copying your signal. I will post later today at: http://n8tl.wwqth.com/N8TL_LowFer.html Happy New Year to all, Tom N8TL
