AFE822 and beverage antenna. Still not spectacular. Only 32 decodes from Appleton. I am blaming the mediocre DST conditions: (http://i.imgur.com/gjvOWui.png)
Lincoln is iffy:

SDR-14 and PVC loop aimed roughly 300 degrees. Curious how Appleton did not show up at all.
Point Loma is probably real:

Perhaps the loop doesn't have enough gain for Appleton? Or perhaps the loop's pattern is not as expected?
-
It did pick up Appleton the other night. I think it was not aimed correctly. But now I have it on a rotor ;D
-
Depending on the quality of the rotor, those things tend to get way off easily (and unknowingly).

Depending on the quality of the rotor, those things tend to get way off easily (and unknowingly).
Unfortunately this rotor (the one salvaged from my 250 MHz helical antenna for SATCOM) has no feedback at all for the position, so I am aiming based on signal strength. Which has its advantages and disadvantages.
I am going to try to rotate from about 50 degrees to 300 degrees later tonight.
-
I have a cheap TV rotor and it doesn't have feedback either. I can calibrate it by going from one extreme to the other, or like you, go for max signal (or mininum RFI, which is usually the case).
