The NOAA A-index yesterday was 23, the highest number I recall in awhile. However, tonight a few of the usually heard Canadian stations (CBK-540, CKRM-620, CBW-990 & CFSL-1190) are audible. There is

Hello To All, Given the turn down in conditions, the evening began with substantial noise levels on the band, however over the course of the evening even with the ongoing rise in the solar numbers a

The ferrite rod for the PL-360 is external, a plug in ferrite is supplied with the radio. I have over wound some turns on the plug in ferrite antenna, and 5 or 6 turns worked in my application. I

Hello All, Despite the poor TP results reported by Richard,Bill and Nigel, there were some vibrant Asian signals here this morning, but thepropagation certainly didn't favor the second-tier

This is fascinating--how do these observations impact on optimal ferrite bar antenna design? For example, is the optimal length of a 125 mu ferrite bar antenna for use on MW frequencies 5.6 ",

Richard, Try what Gary Deacon does with his Bogs and his Sony M37V. Just wrap several turns around the radio with the end of the long wire. This coupling may be enough to prevent MW overload. I can

Based on yesterday's reception I was expecting better this morning. Oh, was I disappointed - possibly the worst morning since early September. Between 1211 and 1250 UTC, carriers, with no audio,

Dug out my SRF-59 (which I haven't used in a while) and was rewarded with a new station for the ULR log: 970 WJMX Florence SC, 0715, rough signal, ad for a sporting good store in Florence, heard

Plugged directly into the PL-360's AM ANTENNA jack. It works fine on the medium wave band. It on the long wave band below 300 kHz where the problem arises. It's a problem I had with other receivers

Hello To All This evening's propagation produced visits from a few stations not heard from in a while at this location. R. Sawa from the UAE on 1170 khz was especially noticeable with a stout

Off by 2240 ET. Noted IRN/USA news on 1100 u/WTAM. Who is this? Dave

Amazed at the sensitivity/nulling of the SRF-M37W! Got it whean my Sangean 400VX went kapoot. Only downer is no sleep timer. At night, when daytimers reduce power, the set is outstanding. Last night

Neat!

Glad to see the propagation improving for you. I didn't try this morning, as A - I needed sleep, B - I'm at my grandma's house in San Gabriel, CA, with 49,00 desense across more than half the band

250 watter WSYW is still on at 1945. Believe their signoff time s/b 1900. Feel free to pass to other lists. Dave in Indy PS - Just logged WIXI 1360 AL new to overall log!

Richard, How are you connecting the random length wire to the RX? Gil

According to IRCA reprint A009 a matched condition exists when when theratio of length of the ferrite rod to its diameter equals the squareroot of the rod's permeability. So for a mu of 125 and a

I recently tried to set one of my G8's up on AC power, batteries removed on a clock timer for overnight unattended recordings. I've discovered however that by turning it on and putting it on the

Hi everybody, Murphy paid a visit (a pleasant one) last night. After spending quite a few hours making lists and maps of the best stations that I could try for in new states, by pure luck I was able

Hello All, Asiatic signal strength was restored here thismorning in a major way, with good signal strength from four TP "big guns"(including 738-Taiwan, which acts like one here), plus weaker
