The spacing was the same that I used in the article that wrote and at the time worked out to be the best option. The tuning was sharp, indicating high Q and the loop rotation was quite sharp also.

I'm in. I just ordered 5 pairs of those toroids. I hope my repair guy will wind them for me. How did you decide the thickness of the spacer between the winding and the toroids? With Litz, are you

Sorry, but since I don't have a solid ferrite rod that size to compare it to, nor would I want to pay the price such a rod, I can't answer you question. I can tell you that it is much better than the

I am impressed with a ferrite loop which compares so well to such a large air core loop. I have followed a number of articles available on line, including yours in the files section of this group

Guys, I just finished experimenting with a loop stick made up of 12 each 61 mixtoroids. (The toroids are 2" in dia, with a 1" dia hole and are 3/4" thick). Islipped them onto a 1" dowel rod, thus

It's there. It's mounted on the underside of the board. You can see the retaining wax dots and some of the coil peeking through a hole in the upper right of the first photo. -- Neil Goldstein

Jay, Please let me know how the Sony icf-p26 compares to the srf-59. Thanks, Ryan

I don't see a ferrite rod??? I just got one of these to evaluate but haven't had time to take it out of the box yet. Jay http/radiojayallen.com

For some bizarre reason the elevated solar activity seemed to elevate Asians signals, providing one of the better sessions in this lackluster season. A potent sunrise enhancement boosted the Japanese

It is not some thing I could do myself, but maybe start with a radio out of its case and improve the ferrite antenna, and maybe the tuning cap? I thought I saw the AF amp in that chip is rated at

I had thought of using the innards of a SRF-59 with such intent - but have yet to get round to it :-) In principle it should be quite possible, even with a more sophisticated model. An optimised

Thanks, Neil! Not much in there, is there? :-) To those of you who know electronics, would it be possible-theoretically- to do a "chip-ectomy" and use the chip as the basis for a homebrew receiver?

Thanks very much. I have three questions- 1- is this a new chip design? 2- What other radios use it? 3- Does it look like it should work especially well? - FARMERIK

I picked up a P26 yesterday at PC Richard on Long Island. Great performer. There are three shots of the insides over in the photo section. The chip says: SONY CXA1019S 519B73G Enjoy!

Excellent report as always Gary. I am unpacking my gear at the moment and hope to be back active in the very near future. Paul

Thanks, that's an excellent report. - FARMERIK
