Eric,

Are you doing Software Defined Radio yet? If so, what frequencies,
what hardware, what software?

My ambition is to build an SDR with a laptop and a loop antenna to tune
in 520Khz thru 1800Khz (Broadcast AM band). I know a lot of hardware
doesn't go that low and you need to use a downconverter.

Thanks,

Steve Litt
