[Lowfer] How the heck does Ralph receive so well ??

[Paul Daulton]

I have run the TS50 side by side with the HP SLM and the TS50 runs 
circles around the HP. But I cant
rec as well as Ralph. I am in an extremly quite location, so I credit 
Ralphs sucess with his preamp. I have never got 100% copy on you and CV 
, comparing with Ralphs grabber at 100% copy. WEB booms in here, this 
time of year I often get 24 hr copy. I alternate between long wire and 
PA0RDT mini whip. 
Sometimes one is better , sometimes the other. 

Sad thing about moving to watering hole, is I cant listen for you and 
CV without turning mine off. So nice to have Ralphs grabber. I'll have 
to check the grabber for propagation. 

Maybe Peter and Garry and others will chime in with reports. Should 
make it easier for them to have more of us on the same screen. Maybe 
with a little arm twisting Dave W0CH and others will reactivate their 
grabbers. 

I wonder if Ralph could save some ISP time by updateing every five or 
ten minutes? OR every screen full.
