Great Work Rob, Your ability to receive new NDB's during mediocre conditions is catching you up fast! I gave it a serious effort last night in the freezing back yard, and although the Longwave band

Based on our recent experiences at the LBI DXpedition, there are an increasing number of NDB's with funky spacing between the characters. Semilocal NEL-396 in NJ is a good example - the way it's

HI Guys: I got out to the back Deck this morning just shortly after 0530 AM EST. Temp was 34 Degrees F, and as soon as I sat down to DX......it started SNOWING....rather hard I may add!!! It was

I would say that each design (the C.Crane Twin Coil versus the Quantum Loop) have advantages over the other depending on how you will use them. The Quantum does have the cool azimuth adjustment, the

Dennis and Mike, I have an M-35 (standard issue) as well as an M37V. I don't know about the internal circuitry, but in performance they are similar, i.e. they both hear a lot of stations but

Does anybody know if this M35FP model is similar or identical to the M37 (save for the outer case)??? The very first DXing "Ultralight I bought was the Sony M40W back in 1989. It worked well for me

Hi Dennis, I'm re-posting this to the list, because my direct reply somehow got bounced back as undeliverable. This is obviously a digital model (because of the memory presets), but I've never heard

The rain was steady but not near as much as forecast I would guess. 45 years ago I wrote a Thesis for my MSC on Landslides etc in Northland NZ, near Whangarei. Just as I finished my initial writeup

Thanks for checking on the Big Antennas and Perseus Tony. I think this is gonna be a lost cause. Either I was hearing things, or somebody's Ident is really goofed up!! The Skunk hasn't been around for

I don't see any good candidates Rob. CL NB is coming through about 15HZ higher than Brantford with a nice signal on the long BOG. There is another about 5 Hz above FD that I cannot make out. I assume

Hi Guys: Just in from round 2 on the deck...and the only thing of note is a UNID on 207 Khz....If anyone knows who this may be....Please let me know!! 207 ?AU East/West orientation Dec/02/11

Hi Guys: Out on the deck early tonight...about 2230 UTC...Nice Weather 38 Degrees F, no wind thankfully. Conditions still don't seem real hot, but I managed a New Beacon just as I was gonna pack

I'm not sure because I don't have a 390, but as far as I know the 398MP is just a 390 with an MP3 player. -Tudor

Hi all, The Tecsun PL-398MP may not be an ultralight like some of its other brothers (and I believe it only fails because it's a little too big due to the second speaker) but it's a darn good AM/FM

Hi 1071 Arabic channel news and music , probably AbouZabaal, Egypt 0410 utc ultralight#315 cheers Pat

Good Going Rob, If you could log 3 new beacons during the poor Longwave conditions the past 24 hours, your new antenna must be workng fine! I gave the band a check around 0800 UTC last night, and

Hi Guys: Well....I managed to get out on the back deck tonight with the FSL Antenna. The Rain we had yesterday (Which totalled almost 3 Inches!!) has stopped...the Snow that covered the Ground

Hi Jay: I agree - the Q Multiplier is a huge step up for picking things out of tough situations. I see the equality in terms of bare sensitivity, not selectivity, unless one applies feedback to the

I've had one for quite a few years. It's a good antenna; certainly a major improvement over the antenna in almost any ultralight. I think the suggested retail price is a tad on the high side. Since

Hey Rick: I have one, and really like it. It has essentially the same performance as the Quantum Loop, which also has a 7-8" ferrite. The Twin Coil may allow a few extra turns of wire to be put on,
