Re: [IRCA] Drake R8 sensitivity

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

>>I don't think it's the Drake, I think it's simply variations in
conditions. Groundwave conductivity varies with the amount of moisture
content, and whether or not the ground is frozen ( trapping moisture in
the process ). Fog is also known to alter normal groundwave conditions.
>From time to time, some have suggested that groundwave reception can be
altered by having the sap running and the leaves on the trees. 
I routinely notice variations in local signals from one listening
session to the next.<<

I am beginning to think that is my issue too. I just did not notice it
in the past.
