Fellas, the antenna that works for me is the K9AY, beamed North.  This appears to be working exceptionally well when the path over the pole is open.  I also have an ALA 100 which is best for the LW (which I haven't done a lot of due to noise).  The receivers are several:  For scanning, I like the AOR 7030+ and I just channel through the memories all slightly offset on the split frequencies.  For digging, the Icom 756Pro2 is a great receiver, and much of what I save on Recall-Pro is using this receiver.  I just powered up the R390A for use, but too early to know how it will perform, along with it's SE-3.  Finally, I used the TenTec 340 with a Kiwa 4 kHz roofing filter mod, and it's very hot in AM and AM Sync especially for readability.  I just might have second thoughts about selling this baby.  ......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
