Rob, you've only just begun!!
After a lifetime of developing skills to hop around the dial manually and catch ID's from rare stuff I had no idea how much DX I'd missed until I started recording with the Perseus ULR.
If I can give you any help with antennas please let me know. I think you are on a city size lot so I don't expect anything bigger than a SuperLoop to fit. But you could hopefully have at least two to work different directions and cover the entire band with good back nulls. I recommend SuperLoops rather than KAZ antennas due to your likely space limitations as you get at least 6 dB more signal with a rectangular loop as compared to a triangular one.
As I will be aiming my DKAZ array ENE for a while, and this is right at London, your logs to the east of you are of great interest to me.
For an idea of back null. I had near arm chair copy of CJMS 1040 tonight as terminations clobbered superpest WHO. WBZ IBOC is horrid as usual, but using LSB I get past much of it. Great filters in my SDR help.

Subject: [IRCA] AM BCB Loggingsâ.3 NEW STATIONS from ELAD Recordingsâââ
Hi Guys:
I got a little backlogged on checking the ELAD Recordings, so thankfully it was a Lousy Rainy Day here today and I had some time to clear the Backlog!! Good thing I am retired or this ELAD SDR would only be in record modeâ..I would have little time to Playback anything to look for New Loggings!! Things can sure pile up in the Recorded Archives if you don't keep up with what you have recorded!!
Anyways, for my work today I was rewarded with 3 New Stations over the past few days!! I have now had the ELAD SDR for 1 Month, and I have Logged 23 NEW STATIONS in that time, so the SDR appears to be doing it's job, especially considering this is not Primo AM BCB DX Season!! Too Bad I got the Unit at the end of the Season, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the fall and next winter!!
I also need to get some Better antennas up for AM BCB DX as this Longwire I am using is Very Noisy!! I'll get that done this summer before the New DX Season starts!
