Hi Jay,
That was really exceptional copy you had on SAQ this past April 14!  I  
have heard
SAQ similar to that 2 or 3 years ago I think  on a nice sunny  morning in 
September around
the same time of day. Just a theory, but I think daytime or morning  
reception of VLF
signals in Europe seems better here around the equinox times of year,  
March-April 
and September-October? Nighttime propagation seems very good also  but 
there is more
static that time of year compared to December-January. Sometimes early  
evening VLF 
propagation from Europe seems way down on certain times in  
December-January.
 
You seem to have a good handle on reducing the typical line noise and hum  
we
encounter on VLF reception also.

Guess it's all +'s and -'s ... I'm 800 miles closer ... you're  closer to 
the ocean ... but 
unfortunately also closer to the equator  (static). Would sure like to hear 
SAQ as received in VO1 
land!

Still  scratching my head over the SAQ transmission 4/14/11 at 9 am local. 
Signal  strength was well 
above anything I'd ever heard from them. Would be nice if  they ran more 
often for longer periods but 
understand not wanting to push  their luck with the vintage  equipment.
