[600MRG] receptions last night

[William E. Isakson]

There was a rare low noise at my house last night and I listened at 475.37
KHz from 0328 UTC to 0348 UTC.   The following stations were heard
W7RNB  559 (Rudy just to the north of me gave him a 579)  15 minutes later
he was on again with 579
N6LF  579   he must have something directional that shines away from me or
he would be pegging the s meter
VE7CA 559
W0YSE 559  (W7RNB gave him 539)
I am thinking there was another but it is not on the paper I am reading
from.

The receive station was an old Kenwood R5000 receiver with a voltage probe
whip up about 12 feet on a two x four out in the yard.

Meanwhile, I have not heard either APPROVE or DISAPPROVE from the UTC on my
application from Sept 15, So I am going to start reassembling my station
which was taken down when I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to here
in Roseburg Oregon.  That is, it became an assumed approve since it is past
their deadline.   There is something that makes me a bit jittery about
this, of course, since there is a long distance power line within 2000 feet
of my house.   I just do not know what frequencies they are using for their
PLCs, certainly I cannot hear them in band.
