While I was away on a business trip the FT-817 somehow switched antenna inputs leaving only the very strong ATC signal on 121.3 readable without any antenna connected (it's nearby on Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's highest peak). All is well now.

During the coming cooler winter months I plan to make antenna improvements that will make MW and SW reception even better. I also plan to get the node running on a US$100 Pipo mini computer running Windows 10. This will greatly reduce the power consumption and allow me to run the node on a separate computer.

Thanks for your support of the Hong Kong receiver now celebrating nearly 14 years of service in various forms and forums!
