s2 here in the dirt, but ive even drastically changed my setup today. so while i can barely hear it, i can still barely hear it, and yesterday i probably would have missed it without this newfound DSP configuration knowledge i gained today from reading a certain rtl-sdr.com blog post concerning dynamic range and decimation. it literally changed my tuning habits.
minor fading (expected for this band at this time), no atmospheric noise, pushing up to s3 now in the DC area with some piano blues music i presume a nod to our new overlord.
sdr with horizontal loop antenna, 20 feet up, 250 feet all around. wellbroke loop for amdx and tropdx, very very lucky reception.
