[600MRG] A suprise catch and an old friend

[dave.riley3]

Tried NEED.. Is +20-30 above noise here on Spectra Vue and VX9MRC is QSB 
to S9 on the S meter...

Both are most QRK5 for armchair CW QSO...  VX9MRC is 599 on RX and 
measuring 30+ dbm/noise on Spectra Vue...
If I could only get CW speed down to 20 second dots would be good aural...

Re-installed 500' loop here after clearing some trees and it performs 
better by far @ night than the 1000' BOG...
The loop is monster dog wire from e-bay shot up in to the pine trees 
with compound bow, no need for insulators, radials, or loading coil, 
even on TX...
Tunes with series vacuum variable at fairly good Q... Has got out to 
west coast and SV1 in the past...

BOG is way better in day time... Not so hot for EU...
