I guess it's the wrong time of year, but I am on the east coast [CT], and experimenting with new antennas. Are there any LW BC stations using English I should look for this time of year? - FARMERIK

Sounds like a great idea to me. I've already logged several NDBs and would like to see what other folks can do on LW. I logged a few LWBC stations back in the winter with a modified G8 and external

If you want smaller and inexpensive, then you may be out of luck. But if you're willing to pay the price, the 5th-gen iPod Nano may be the ultimate ultralight FM-only DX machine. You also don't get a

Hello All, As most of you are aware, the Ultralight Awards Program was originally setup by John, Rob and me (in early 2008) to provide incentives for DXers to acceptthe challenge of Ultralight

Sure the G8 is not as sensitive as a full sized portable due to no room for a long MW ferrite bar. But on my Tecsun PL-300 (G8) I heard Voice of Russia via Germany on 1323, yes from Minnesota! The

I wonder how many they have left? I couldn’tresist at $25.91 total with shipping and ordered one yesterday. ========================================================== Mike

Smoking deal and the 20% off was a major bonus! Thanks for the heads up! I ordered mine last night and can't wait to play it. Jon

I urge you to resist buying anything smaller, unless there is a unit that is DXer reviewed that I don't know about. I did try the Best Buy Insignia $49 micro but less sensitive & internally generated

Yeah, pretty massive for the shirt pocket! : ) You sound like me, always wanting something that no one has made yet! I feel your pain... John

Unfortunately, that one is much too big... unless you've found a way to fit it in your shirt pocket. :) I'm looking for something pocket sized and preferably not too far above $100 (although I think

Hey, thanks! I have one of those, and they are awesome. Believe it or not I was looking for something that was even smaller, but still decent. As usual, I'm looking for something that doesn't

I've been ought of the loop for awhile, so apologies if this is a non-issue or has been addressed before. In the past I've ordered from Anon-Co, was pleased with how things transpired and would

The National Geographic offer (see previous posts) of the Grundig G8 Traveler II Digital would seem to be right up your alley....

Group, If I had to buy a very simple ultralight FM DX machine for a beginner, what would be your choice? Simple is better. Low price is good too. Thanks! John KC8JDI

I know this doesn't meet all of your specs, but I really like my Sangean PR-D8. It records perfectly to an SD card automatically. I found it to be quite sensitive and easy to use. Got it on Amazon

Hmm.... well I was reading the reviews, and considering what seems to be currently available, the CC Witness seems to be the "lesser of the evils". However, there are some things tha I personally

Hello All, While running some detailed comparisons of the newly hot-rodded 7.5" LWloopstick PL-380 with a stock ICF-2010, it was discovered that the modifiedTecsun is actually quite a bit more

You have it right !!! I'm in SouthWest Connecticut. Down here you can get all the HD hssssssssssssssss from New York City. I'm just far enough away to avoid most as most NYC stations actually in New

Hi guys, I own a CC Witness. It definitely isn't a DSP radio, and its AM performance is inferior to that of other ultralights like the DT-400W and PL-380. I bought the CCW mainly because of the

The DE1123 does not accept any kind of external memory, and its recording is at low quality. I wouldn't recommend it as a recorder. It's OK for FM; the AM seems insensitive and the audio bandwidth is
