Allen, Your latest catch, WBOB on 1320 is handing out a wonderful bumper stickerright now... no mention of radio, frequency or anything else. Itjust sez "Turn Your Knob to Bob!" Ya gotta love

Hello Guys, The 1610 kHz Anguilla beacon was again dominant onthe frequency at 0740 UTC last night here in western Washington (around midnightlocal time), with Gene Scott giving his usual

Hi Guys, Got a couple of hours in Dxing prior to sunrise this morning . Managed to log a new one as follows: 1320 khz - WBOB - Jacksonville,Florida 9:21 UTC 2/26/09 w/ Michael Medved talk show

Aah! Gary, you have pipped me by a short head. I have been waiting for 720Perth for some weeks now to complete my six continents barefoot. Anywaycongratulations and well done - Fish Hoek is certainly

Hi Folks John B. suggested that I share this ULR update with the group :

Hi all: My curiousity was peaked by Kirk Allen's recent Select-a-tenna/Eton e100 comparison to a Slider e100, and Dave Hascall's subsequent inquiry regarding how the Crate Loop might work under the

Richard, thanks for the advice. "arthritic thumbs" thats exactly the same problem I have. You wouldn't think that would have any effect on a hobby that mainly involves listening to a radio? You don't

Nick, Thanks very much for your thoughtful remarks. I was hoping that youwould be intrigued. What you say about the high impedance input tothe mixer makes sense to me.... however, I'm hoping that

Jack: Welcome. Like Robert, I also started out with the SRF-59 and due to my arthritic thumbs found the analog tuning troublesome. I have mostly used a SRF-T615e as my primary ULR. The majority of

Hi! 1610 25/02 0430 Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla, tentative. OM at 0430, some music and phone number announcement at 0435, YL at 0438. Strong fading, 1 or 2 min every 10min of usable audio. SRF-59

Hi all: Following Gary's lead, I dialed in both 6090 (on a Tecsun PL-450) and 1610 on the Slider e100, and received the parallel programming last night at about 0600 UTC, 20090225. This is a new one

Hi Guys: Didn't have much time for DXing at Sunset tonight...but did squeak out One New Station for the ULR LOG...and it's NEW to the OVERALL LOG as well!! Radio used tonight was....SONY SRF-T615

Hi Kirk, I haven't logged a Cuban on 900 kHz yet. When I use the ALA100 which points right at Cuba, the dominant station is usually WATV in Birmingham, unbelievably at only 158 watts night. So far

Recently I reported a tentative R. Progreso on 900 khz. Hrd the Cuban again this morning but still as a tentative. Noted what sounded like a obvious SS station NOT from Mexico. Hrd around 1230 UTC.
