Hi Ian,
Thanks for that information. I'll check out Spektrum. It may provide some insight. The balcony is swamped with local AM, FM and EMF from the building. It was never going to be a good location to DX from. I'm just looking to optimize this location.
I've started playing with filter simulation software and will build a highpass filter to block MW. I was comparing the RTL-SDR V3 and my Yaesu desktop rig (FTDX1200) and realized just how poor the front end on the dongle is. Maybe the filter will help but ultimately I believe that an Airspy HF+ is in my future, hopefully, sooner than later.
