Re condx last nite I already asked this directly of a couple posters but 
wondering in general if there is widespread concurrence about condx as here at 
my 
QTH in NNJ I found signal levels to be quite weak despite relatively low noise 
levels. Signals were R5 mostly but I had to cascade in a second preamp on my 
NE pennant to make copy somewhat more comfortable as even the local "QRM" of 
moving my headset around my head would make me miss some copy on the signals 
being so weak. I also noticed this on my Inverted L  which is an exceptional 
noise magnet - when levels are "good" from EU I typcially can see those signals 
pop out of the S8 plus crud floor on that antenna - last nite the crud level 
was less than S5 yet very lite copy on the EU stuff - at least till 0430Z here 
in NNJ.  73 de W2PM
