I checked out a few Southern KiwiSDRs last night, namely, from Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. For me, the litmus test is how well they sound on longwave, i.e., if the amount of buzz is impeding non-directional beacons from being heard or not. I figure that if they are relatively clean on longwave, then mediumwave, of course, will be worth trying.

IMHO, only the SDRs from Lubbock, Texas and Fort Rucker, Alabama, passed muster in that regard. By the way, I noticed, while looking at the map on sdr.hu, that Bob Hawkins has turned off the SDR in Edinburgh, Indiana. Hope this isn't permanent, as I always found it to be one of the better-sounding SDRs out there.

I have the test tones, a 1khz tone and later a 400hz tone i think it
was. not at my perseus pc at the minute to check, but i did both hear
the tone (weak in the mush), as well as easily see it on the perseus
screen, 0551 - 0600 time frame. exact time will be on my files....

If we had CW ids, I could have snared that one.
I have fallen way behind with on line logs, but will strive to post 
perseus screen shots and audio...
