Ron,

No - I haven't aligned it yet... though I have all the info together. Got waylaid in December when I discovered my dog had thyroid cancer (now doing quite well after surgery Icon_thumbup

) - and by reuniting with an old, dear friend diagnosed with diffusely metastatic adenocystic carcinoma (not doing so well....). Hopefully I'll get back to radios soon. I had been trying it out with a short wire... but have also tried it on a good long wire and was not duly impressed. It receives stations, the audio is satisfactory, selectivity ain't bad.... but sensitivity just does seem to be where I imagined it would be... and this is a bit more noticeable on the bandspread. Of course, I've noticed SW to be sucky on my SS stuff too... Icon_rolleyes
