Thanks everyone for the kind words. I mention that when I was an active DXer in 1980's, JOUB the easiest trans-oceanic station to hear here. At no time did I used anything more than an amplified ferrite loop antenna. I may simply live in the right place for hearing JOUB. Hearing European medium wave stations has always been a greater challenge.
I did post a bit of the JOUB audio from this morning under with the name "081001_1054_JOUB774_T615_000c.mp3" in the files section.
Again, thanks everybody. Best wishes for good DX tonight.
