High all:  G3XBM musings with FT-817 on LF over at blacksheep got me 
interesting in trying the same.  I am able to copy EAR with my e-probe to my 
300 kHz LPF to a 3dB pad or diplexer and then to FT-817.  I am seeing EAR 15 
dB or so out of the noise with the e-probe which is a great signal 
considering I usually copy EAR about 20 ~22 dB out of the noise with my high 
level LF/MF converter and EWE antennas....

Also had 55 decodes of WH2XXP on 2200m last night with the above setup and 
FT-817 as rx with no receiving converter...
