Well, I am finally getting a chance to play during the daytime with the ham gear(SX-111 Mk1 RX only- the HT-37 TX has a short in the filament section of the transformer), and the ARRL trap dipole seems to be working nicely... I have been listening to 20M LSB, and hearing all sorts of places- I was monitoring a guy CQDXing, and heard a few of his responses, including one from Germany, another from Croatia & one from Belgium... Also, had a CQ from CUba coming in very clear and strong...

The antenna is also pulling in the western US- Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma have all been heard. listening to a strong signal from Florida currently...

Haven't been up to 40 and 80 yet during the day. That will be sometime this AM.

Just thought you all might like to know...

Oh- and WWV loud and clear. Could barely get it before!
Scott
