After the failure some time back of the random wire that fed both the FRG-100 and Sams VOLMET 5MHz receiver, all that was left feeding the Hi-Z port of the receiver was about two feet of speaker wire. With no time to fiddle (It was gone 22:00 by this time!) the best I could do was switch the ATU to bypass, can croc-clip the bit of wire to the center pin of the patch lead I use to the antenna switch for connecting up such things as Wispy or my SWL PSK-20.
Some fiddling was needed to get the audio into the PC as well, but I was remarkably surprised to see stations coming in. I left the whole lot running overnight. 13 different stations copied! Including, finally at about 03:00, including Roger G3XBM
