Doing a dress rehearsal on the remote Ferrite NDB Loop today preparatory to getting it sited outdoors. Maybe next week. Here we were able to run the loop at the end of a 50 foot cable set (power, RF coax, and communications which is a CAT5 cable employing a pair of USB to CAT5 converters.) Able to log quite a few locals even though the Ferrite Loop is sitting just above the basement floor in a pretty noisy environment.
All logs 1800-1900z.
