I have my SDR running on 160 starting tonight if anyone likes to see if signals reach into SM. It uses a Clifton Labs active RX antenna in rural/quiet environment. You can follow the spots on reversebeacon.net, quick link to my spots here: http://tinyurl.com/2wootzl. It  might be on 10 meters in daylight, but on Topband in local nighttime.

I have no TX antenna up yet, working out the details for the 2010/2011 vertical now. See you all when its up in late September.
