Re: [IRCA] [HCDX] Amazing night for longwave!

Great Job!    I think the reason why you can hear these weak signals is 
that the lightning activity was lower than it was this summer.  Not to 
mention the cooler temperatures since it's 72'F
over here in Virginia Beach, Virginia.      Did you use a RTL-SDR radio 
receiver with a HF up converter or a portable receiver when receiving 
these signals?     I have not got to DXing LW because
of the distant storm activity and also the LCD TV was turned on. If I 
have to listen on LW I would go to Web SDR to hear the signals.     I 
wish you could of provided a you tube video or SDR IQ file for us to 
experience on SDR Sharp.    I think the antenna you used was the 
Wellbrook loop antenna while DXing on LW.
