[Lowfer] LF Portable Radio

[JJ]

  Just did a quick check on 183khz and Europe 1 out of Germany is in 
there and BBC Radio 4 is booming in on 198.  I'm using a PMSDR and a 
bottom fed sloper.   I just tried a Grundig G8 and no joy.  On the 
Grundig G3 I can hear a het with a little audio when in LSB mode.
Conditions are getting better on LF.  I logged 3 NDBs from Greenland and 
YCO on 372 in Kugluktuk, Nunavut, Canada tonight.

For Wolf and the SDR, you need a program called Virtual Audio Cable.  It 
costs $30 but is worth it.  The Eval copy is ok to try but it inserts a 
message or something every few minutes so it will wreck any audio your 
feeding into the system.
