Good catch Al. I've just acquired an AR-88 so shall be joining the vintage comms receiver club forthwith 
There's a German station which I can't find my logs for (dashed home for lunch) who sometimes comes in strongly on 160M.
Talking of UK signals, there's a chap about 300 yards from my house with an antenna farm to match RAF Croughtons. All sorts of stuff. Never spoke to him or anything and never heard him either. I'd assume I'd get swamped by his transmissions while trawling the amateur bands but nothing. But yes UK signals do seem quite weak as a generalisation.
Out of writing time, back to work
