Charles;
If loops, pennants, or flags can't work for you because of your close
proximity to high power AM broadcast stations you might consider a
remote receiver computer controlled in a quiet location far away from
the problem. This technology is getting to be more and more affordable
especially if you have DSL capability where you are located. There will
be a slight delay in the receive audio but you can have complete control
over the RX functionality. Both Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu make nice high
grade receivers with CAT control. A lower cost alternative, especially
since you are a rare station, would be to set up a receiver on a single
listening topband frequency and feed the audio over a "dry pair" back to
your regular location.another possibility is to use a web site and
stream the RX audio back to your home computer. This way other may wish
to assist you in the project as the audio could be avaialbe to more than
one DX-er. You may choose not to have the bandwidth to narrow so
signals within a 1.5 KHz range will be available to you. A location of
a friend or relative way out in the country where beverages can be
constructed would be ideal.
Good Luck and let us know how this worked out.
