Did look for LORAN C chains last night simple dumb setup.
HP 3586 to 80 meter vertical and pretty good ground plane.
Heard not a thing from Boston even at -120 db. (I did hear general crud)
Do wonder with all of these little cpfl lights and their nasty switchers if
the noise floors is up.
Will try with a LORAN C active antenna and preamp tonight. But not sounding
to good.
Regards
