I'm being lazy & I'm laying in bed listening on my bedside radio a satelitt 750 w about 90 feet of wire ( the remaining 2 legs of my former 120 foot loop)
AATW is barely registering on the s meter but the noise is exceptionally low on this antenna. They are completely audible but the 750 has a touchy BFO & I'm having a hell of a time getting it just right. Heard ID's at 0:42 and 0:47. I'm suprised that a signal this good doesn't register at all on the meter.
0:51z "standing guard against the gathering horde..This is AATW radio"  and off
