If anyone in the region is planning to add stations but gets daunted with the soldering, you can drop me a message. We can discuss and I can see what I can help with.
Hi there, well spotted! Yes, a friend took one of my rigs over to the Philippines with him and has set it up in what must be a very noise-free spot. It is doing quite well.
As for poor old station 1612, I'm afraid it sits in a ground-floor condo on the side of a hill in an area (an entire country) thick with air conditioners, refrigerators, wi-fi units, and all manner of other noisy stuff. It is lucky to pick up anything at all in those circumstances.
I haven't really helped the situation by fiddling with the amp settings. Seems that it's either swamped in noise or oblivious to anything but a direct hit.
