I don't know if your location is pa...Hi Roger,<br /><br />I don't know if your location is particularly susceptible to lightning, but my equipment runs continuously whether thunderstorms are about or not. I have seen some horrendous lightning damage from when I worked on high power broadcast transmitters, but have always been fortunate at home - at least so far. I aso wanted to thank you for your reminder about the SAQ transmission on 17.2 kHz this morning. Though I was at work today I made an active aerial from a whip and an op amp, plugged it in to my laptop mic input and went up on the roof of Broadcasting House to listen in. The first TX from SAQ failed on test, due to problems at their end, but I received the second at about 25dB above the noise. Here is a link to the receiving setup. <br /><br />https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1d1KXhujKF_d19BMHRJTktBampsWmZkZTBNaUlFNGE3NzdZ<br /><br />Regards.
