JR,
Yes, same here, but usually with a decode on t:288. Sometimes on t:192.
Definitely better at night. If memory serves, you and I are on a
straight line from TAG. I'm at 130 miles, and you are at 200 miles.

The bad news is that I gave up some efficiency by using #12 wire for the loop antenna. If this new setup survives the winter, I will try putting up the old RG-8 next year, and using the shield as the antenna conductor. That stuff is pretty heavy, and the big pine that holds up one corner is right on the lake edge, and sways a lot in the breezes.
