0340z - Music. SIO 322 via Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical. It is there, though static crashing and deep fades are making for an overall rough copy here. Intermittent UTE activity noted as well.

Thanks of the broadcast!

Hi Steffen! Welcome to the HFU community. :)

I am running alpha releases as well. I have even compiled a test binary with link-time optimization for perhaps a slight performance boost. It builds, but I have not yet tried deploying the binary on my Web-888 for testing.

There is still development work to sort out with some of the more advanced features, but most standard features work okay in my experience.

Assuming local RFI noise is not too overwhelming, you might consider adding a preamp with your attic YouLoop if not already done. The YouLoop is well into negative gain on HF and lower, plus its impedance curve variances from 0-30MHz are rather extreme.

My Web-888 is still on the outdoor freestanding 30' inverted delta loop. Near the Web-888 I have a cheap TQP3M9037 RF preamp with a 10dB attenuator on the output for now. Daytime SNR is not great here, but the setup suffices for casual listening, while nighttime SNR is usually decent even compared to my KiwiSDR 2 with 148' loop-on-ground and preamp.
