I use 77mix for my AM BCB filters. I have to get some 75mix for the usb cables to my Airspy for VLF.

?I used my giant ferrite VLF loopstick in the aftermath of Helene here in Asheville for some natural radio listening in the middle of the blackout. It was beautiful listening. I used the 1246 turns of #20 over over 10lbs+ of ferrite 45 inches long into a 33k to 600 ohm transformer into a MM-1 Sound Devices preamp using Sennheiser HD620S headphones. It was incredible listening...the best of my life.
? I ran the gain @60db and had to be careful to avoid feedback!
?A real bright spot in the disaster! I could also listen and tell how fast they restored the grid. It was epic. I had no power for a week and no water for 2 weeks. No potable water for over a month.

?But no AC grid for miles and miles working? Fantastic for natural radio!!!
