Not at this location: noise here is really terrible. I am thinking of taking an RAK out into the 
field and running it on batteries. I'm not sure what to use for an antenna there though, 
although I do have some beautiful 36" loops with big wooden tripods to mount them on.

We used to copy NWC down in Oz on RAKs in Missoula, Montana back in the 1970s, but 
that station has been long gone, unfortunately. Also, of course, NWC ran several hundred 
thousand watts output as I remember it. We copied NWC 24/7/365 then.
