Hi, Doug and tnx for the warm welcome. I'm already addicted to QRSS grabbing so I think I can handle some 630m stuff...hi. I have a mod to my grabber that allows me to watch two bands by sharing them at ten minute intervals. That way I don't let my QRSS buddies down and can enjoy something new like MF. 


I do have a PVC framework which can be adapted for a big MF loop and hope to have it working in a few weeks.

Welcome to the group, Bill. Watch out, or you may get as addicted as the 
rest of us. A loop RX antenna might help with some of that QRN. 

I was born near Ft. Walton Beach, but am in east TN now (and have been for 
decades).
