Hi Rick ,

Thanks , that is the same one that I still have over here in a drawer and I 
had no problem hearing a "local beacon" 100 or so miles away with it anytime 
day or night . I was just looking at getting rid of the variable , so I may 
go ahead and build the other version and see how it performs .

I agree it is a better way to go than the upconverter , for another reason 
too . If someone is interested in listening to the lowfer band , they don't 
have to be a ham or someone that owns a regular receiver , so I am looking 
at building up a couple so I can loan one out if someone is interested in 
listening and just has a computer .

I just downloaded the latest version of Spec Lab today , and I can see 
already , that it is going to take a little learning and getting used to at 
an extremely narrow bandwidth .
