[Lowfer] EAR with 2N5109>RAY-6

    Yes, something like 3 to 3.5 range.

    I'm running the splitter just to have some extra loss margin until I get 
an IF filter to tame the LO power at 3.0 MHz,

just  to be on the safe side and not smoke the front-end transistors of the 
receivers.....plus it is convenient to roam 10 to 500kHz with

the second radio.  On WSPRx I've been seeing XIQ ghosts since about 0218.  I 
expect a capture any time now....
