Garry: It is interesting that SIW is copyable in the day on GW here, but as 
soon as the skywave noise arrives after sundown it pretty much vanishes and 
then LW BC signals like RFI  on 162 and Euro1 on 183 kHz  (often) have 
audible modulation here.  Perhaps a motiviation to get a second EWE setup 
for NW & SE reception.....another 3or 4 dB S/N and SIW would be a solid copy 
here....being able to get a partial copy of SIW at the edge of the antenna's 
3dB bandwidth (160 degrees wide) is encouraging.  Also very impressive to 
see Dex copy traces of SIW at twice the distance......
