The venerable RAK and RBL receivers work fine. I use an RBL with a 500 foot 
unterminated Beverage*  antenna running North-South through the woods, and 
have heard SAQ numerous times.  Being about 30 miles from the Atlantic ocean 
probably helps.

*  500 feet isn't much of a Beverage at 17.2 kc. - a mile or more would be 
better.
