Happens to us all!

My setup is very simple, a long wire antenna, which feeds a simple interface consisting of a pair of back to back diodes (1N4148) across the antenna to ground, then a 10nF blocking cap, and a 3.5mm jack plug into my PC soundcard. I then use DL4YHFs Spectrum Lab software to display a waterfall plot of the frequencies. The software can be found here http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/spectra1.html

Thats just reminded me - I need to add this software to my new laptop.

Essentially, all you need is a PC with a soundcard, some suitable software, and an antenna! Its worth setting up the day before, there are signals there to see before SAQ comes on
