Hello All, The high band featured some fair signals from several Asian regulars this morning, but without much of a sunrise enhancement boost. The low band never seemed to get untracked, and overall

Has any one tried making an FSL antenna using different length ferrite rods? I am wondering how much the performance would be compromised if a mix of (say) 190mm and 100mm rods were used instead of

Kevin: You are quite right. I was getting too precise in my definition of the west coast. Regards Bob

I'd have to think about that definition. KDUN's transmitter location is inland along a river that empties into the Pacific. KNX (1070) would then qualify as a coastal transmitter even though it is

Kevin: When I said the west coast I was meaning right on the Pacific Ocean. Portland, Seattle, Vancouver are all 60 to 80 miles from the coast and all have 50 KW stations. Here, on central

wiki confirms 630 watts at night. KIRO in Seattle (710KHz) is supposedly 50KW D/N but i have KSPN (710KHz) in Los Angeles to contend with. 73, kevin kc6pob I have noticed over the last week

www.fixup.net used to be a website that did mods on Sony pocket radios but the site no longer works and I am assuming they are out of business. Is anyone else doing mods on the Sony's?

I have noticed over the last week that KDUN AM 1030 from Reedsport Oregon has not been turning down its 50 KW daytime power at sunset. The feed would appear to be totally computer controlled as it

Hello All, Asian signals generally improved this morning, with quite a few low and middle band TP's reaching fair to good levels during the predawn darkness. Unlike yesterday, though, the sunrise

Update - 6/2/2015: This case is no more, it broke along the hinge this morning, I suspect I was putting too much in it :( I am now back to using my old case, I have also resized some of my log sheets

Hello All, Asian signals had a tough time getting untracked this morning, but during sunrise enhancement one of the usual die-hards rose up with good signals for about 3 minutes. At my 1430 start

The McKay Dymek antennas and tuners were built for broad lack of selectivity. They were designed for hi fi reception of AM and concentrated more on sensitivity than selectivity. If you want an indoor

I know as a kid in the seventies, my other young audiophile friends thought it was weird when I had an AM antenna hooked up to my various receivers. I agree with the thread here that most are too

Yes. In the early 60s, my father had a Meissner tuner, and used a TV set chassis for the amplifier. I had no idea of the overall scope of what we was doing, but my father pointed out what states we

Hello Farmerik, <<< I know Gary is an expert on adding larger ferrite antennas outside the cases of ULR's, so I thought I'd ask about improving Hi-Fi AM tuners the same way. One of my sets has
