Logs, Oct. 24-27

It was nice to have the opportunity to listen each of the past four nights.  Lots of stations, lots of good music, lots of good listening.  Thanks guys!

Regular readers may have noticed that there have been no mediumwave logs here these past few months.  I have been suffering from s9 noise on mw.  On Saturday, I completely replaced my coax leads and connections, and pounded my ground rods a little deeper to try to remove any accumulated film from the outside.  It cut my noise on 48 m in half (it is now way below s1) and helped dramatically on 76 m (noise dropped from s4 to s1).  But the noise on mediumwave is still s9!!!  I will try to get this figured out in the next weeks.
