Hello All, As Dennis has surmised the Asian propagation wasgenerally miserable this morning, although there was one Chinese high-bandstation that certainly went against the trend. 738-Tahiti also

Hi Guys: With the K Index at 5 last night conditions here were somewhat Auroral. Heard a few things from the SOUTH that normally are not there. All are RELOGS but one of them was a CALL

I started looking into which SONY chip different radios have, but I found SONY made/makes a huge number of chips used in radios and even small radios may have several. They also renamed chips as

Both are easy to tune, and the '390 may be the winner of that contest,but it is too large to be an ULR. It does drive a corner Klipsch designed folded EV horn speaker very well, and with a mid size 14

Please don't throw things at me for asking a dumb question, but are either of those radios based on the CXA1129 chip like the SRF-59?? Mark B. N8PGV "Democracy is two wolves and one lamb voting

Thanks for the two speedy responses! The 390 has, IMHO, the better form factor (length > height, good for longer MW ferrite rod) but the S22 sounds like it may be easier to tune. 73 & Good DX, Steve

OOPS, sorry, YES both these radios are far easier than the Walkmans you mention. On those I used my thumbnail to turn the tuning wheel. No need for that on these portables. - FARMERIK

On the ICF-S22, the exposed part of the thumb wheel tuning is just under a full inch, and it takes three full passes to get across the tuning bands. So three inches of thumb wheel travel gets you

Thanks for the info on the new radios! They look like they might be future items on my wish list! Question about the ease of tuning ... I have the SRF-59 and the SRF-49 radios. I don't use them as

Hello All, Asian conditions this morning were similar to yesterday's, exceptfor 603-China temporarily pounding in at an S9 level around 1411 (its strongestsignal ever here, in 7 years of TP-DXing).

Very nice catch. How are you IDing these? I'm finding the Moroccans harder than average to ID. --

Hello To All Another new catch on Ultralight radio this evening. This one has been a hard one to catch being so close on the dial to our more local 590 VOCM St. John's, but success tonight finally

Hello All, Overall Asian results here this morning were closer to Dennis'version than Colin's NHP fish barrel report, but Dennis and I apparently trackeddown two different sets of second-tier

Hello All, After yesterday's excellent conditions the Asian propagation was slightlyoff this morning (as Bruce has reported), but there were still some interestingsignals to be found. In addition to

If anyone is looking for a very nice air tuned loop antenna I will beattending the Stone Mountain Hamfest North of Atlanta, GA on November 1 and willonly be there on Saterday. I can be found in the

Allen: Great catch on the Western Sahara Station. I'm not sure if you have heard any other stations from the Western Sahara or not…but if you have not, you may want to investigate this a NEW

Hello To All, New catch last night on Ultralight radio 702 khz - ALGERIA / WESTERN SAHARA - Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic National Radio, Rabouni 22:05 UTC 10/11/14 male announcer in

Rob, Congralulations on bagging another new one for the ULR logbook. It's great to see you back at the AM dial after the summer season. I'm hoping you will add a bunch more as the fall DX season

Hello All, As Dennis and Bruce have reported, Asian conditions were favorable thismorning, with many second-tier TP's managing energetic audio for the first timethis season. In addition to powerful
