Prior to installing GWX (NYGM, RUB, Vanilla) I could hear ship contacts relatively easy out to maybe 20km then they gradually fade, if really trying hard faint contacts can be heard out to 30 -34 km. This has been discussed in the past.

At the GWX Hydrophone station my SO who is usually deaf and dumb can pick up a merchant 10 - 15 km distant but listening myself that same ship is not audible until maybe 8km. I was attacked by a DD yesterday and the damn thing faded out at 8km. I don't get it. The sound volume is turned up by the way. Even with my speakers cranked up there simply is no ship there past 8km under 8 it's louder than hell.

Anyone else running into this. forget about listening for convoys approaching from the distance. Anyone else run into this?
