Missed the early session (stayed up too late watching Nascar at Daytona) but was setup for the 
second. Signal was weak but readable. I've always had better reception of the first session during 
past attempts.

Had three receiving setups to A/B/C. All three shared the same antenna - a 1 meter modified Amrad e 
probe.

Perseus > Delta 44

Delta 44 (Winrad software)

HP3586C SLM > Delta 44

The HP3586C setup was the best of the lot by a small but noticeable amount. I've found this to also 
be true at 8.97 kHz running tests with W1VLF and listening to the alpha stations. Not sure why this 
is. It doesn't appear to be a sensitivity issue as all three setups hear the natural noise floor.

A short MP3 of this morning's reception can be found at  http://www.w1vd.com/capture/SAQ070410B.mp3
