Hi

What are the odds ? :-)

Well I hear some successtories and non-successtories.

Mine is very low-noise; signals are low too, but I think S/N here is
very very good.

Mine was low noise too..., low noise, low signal... always had much, much
better results with a transformer matched wire.

When I use a FD4 or FD3 (Fritzel) or a (long)wire, the RX is much more
"nervous". Very unpleasant listening.

What exactly do you mean by 'nervous'?
