Thank you for the reply, Gary. It's nice to know that only matching up the inductance is close enough! Thank you for the comment and question, Guy. My understanding is that despite their being two

Hello Guys, Apparently not even the crunch-resistant CXA1129chip can handle the mega-RF from a 20 inch loopstick. Working OK until the 1400 kHz trimmer was peaked,the huge RF onslaught

How much difference did the tweak make? I have a number of headphones; the Sennheiser HD 420 sounds the best. My SRF-59 and 39FP are stock; at some point I'll have Gary work his magic on them. I do

Hi Garry, I had been thinking about spider coils also for an ultralight. How large of a coil form do you think would be needed to compete with a hot rodded ferrite loop? Also, do you envision

Hi Paul, can you describe what kind of programming youheard? If we can confirm that, it's a nice DX! I live next to Argetina (south Brazil) and there isan station on 1620 really strong. I learnt

Hey All, which Argentine station on 1620 really "gets out" weak on the srf59 with a one two foot loop. Paul Logan, Lisnaskea, N. Ireland Listening Homepage: http://geocities.com/yogi540/ Photos:

Garry and Guy, All of the mega-loopsticks (7", 14" and 21") havebeen constructed using an LCR meter to measure inductance only, to ensure thatthe recycled coils (mostly salvaged from the

Hi Dennis, I have two SRF59's one was tweaked by me - as it turns out the tweak brought radio # 2 up to the level of the other stock one in terms of sensitivity so I may have got a "dud". However I

THANKS, PAUL.... I have no idea what happened to your first note. I'll be doinm a List update when I get back to Stillwater in a few days. John B.

Hi Gary; When you measure the recycled coils on the LCR meter, are you checking only the L or are you somehow taking into account any C differences between the original and tranplant coils (either on

Paul - is your SRF-59 stock (not tweaked for best performance)? Are your non expanded band logs barefoot or with the loop? 73 wrote: guess you didn't receive it so here goes again: as follows. 4072

Hi John, I mailed you some time back regarding firsts and distance records, I guess you didn't receive it so here goes again: I have worked out that my first UL loggings from North America were as

Hello Guys, The fanatical mega-loopstick experimentation withthe SRF-39FP has reached a new level (perhaps along with the eccentricityof the experimentor). Using two 7" and one 6.25"

Hi John, Im familiar with your excellent articles on balun fabrication and in fact have been using them as a reference for ages. I was just wondering what cores are used in commercial rx baluns which

Paul, You might check the World Records at various transmitter powers. You might be setting records for 50 kW stations, for instance. In any case, a great set of loggings! John Bryant

Paul, I'm outta town for the weekend and away from references. However, from memory, there really isn't one formulation of ferrite that will work at OPTIMALLY at Longwave up through 30 MHz.
