Is it the E-Probe ? or maybe the HP SLM ? location ?
He consistently picks up the same stations over and over,
including " MP " over 1200 miles, from sunset to sunrise.
Unbelievable reception capabilities. I can look all night
using any antenna combination I have and never see a hint 
of a signal. But I do think that my location is very noisy.
My signal meter right now at 0317 UTC is showing an S-4
with both 500 Hz filters engaged on CW receive. I can switch
to A.M. and the meter reads S-9+10. the lowest I've ever saw 
my S-Meter is about an S 2-1/2....  May need to start looking
into building a loop, and maybe even a noise canceler.
Good DX-ing everybody ;
