I did not know you were also doing WSPR-15 or had missed that. I can of course set up simultaneous decoders and should.   (I
knew my loggings made it to the net but do not think I mentioned anything here due to other activities.) 
The 26-inch active antenna is mounted on a vent pipe on the roof of my one story house.  There is a lot to be said for nicely
placed active short antennas.
