Hi, I have been a lurker on here for a wee while now, but today made a short video of a test transmission from Radio Carolines new TX site in England, received at my QTH in Scotland (approx 350 miles)

Hi Neil, Thanks for your comments. <<< There is little doubt that limiting radio capabilities and cost has stimulated the experimentation and implementation of novel new antenna development. It

Quite an accomplishment with obviously high quality antennas feeding a high-end radio. To me the real value in this group is the research on antenna designs and placement. Personally it does not

During exceptional propagation my August Rockwork 4 DXpedition partner Tom Rothlisberger was able to record a bonanza on his Perseus-SDR, including 64 New Zealand MW stations (once again surpassing

I wanted to make sure I was not hearing things and I wanted to make sure I was passing along good information. So I contacted C.Crane Customer Service and asked them point blank does the new Skywave

Thanks Allen (and Paul), It's hard to believe that ten years have passed since the first wild receptions of three TP's (594-JOAK, 747-JOIB and 972-HLCA) on a $15 Sony SRF-59 back in November of

Happy 10th Anniversary! Good things do indeed come in small packages. At the end of the 20th Century Crystal Radios had become resurgent: there were several websites devoted to building them. As part

Hello To All, Ten years ago I was approached by our late friend and great radio DXer , John Bryant who had noticed my posting of radio logs on a group site and who had asked me to share some

I agree. The SSB works fine. I had no problems tuning in conversations on 80 and 40 meters with just the built in whip. The fine tuning feature is a little different, but it works fine in touching

After spending Friday afternoon playing with my new C.Crane CC Skywave SSB receiver, I tried it out after dark and logged a new station at 0210Z: WFUN on 970 kHz in Ashtabula, Ohio, transmitting 1 kW,

Hi John, Dunno how well it will monitoring ECARS, but it has 10 Hz. resolution on SSB, so that seems promising. 73, Stan, WA1LOU

Thanks Stan for the time to put forth a review How selective is the radio for monitoring the ECARS net on 7255 or for cw? I am tired of these radios with a 15khz fm filter used for SSB John

I ordered the new C.Crane CC Skywave SSB AM/FM/WX/Air/SW radio online Wednesday morning. I had a 15% discount coupon, so the radio only cost $127.49 plus $12.40 for Priority Mail shipping. The USPS

As a longtime SWL I have not been happy to see SW broadcasts lessen, with long-time stations dying off one by one. But AM broadcast band DXing thanks to all of you who have shown the way, can be just

Hi Rob, <<< Yes, Gary is the only Captain the "Canadian Ultralight DX Team" has ever had!! His early efforts, along with John's earned him that Designation. If John were still here he would be a

I have for sale a 7.5" X 7.5" FSL. The FSL is wound as a 2 coil Polydorff configuration. The 2 windings were wound with 660/46 Litz wire. The variable capacitor is one of the high Q, 2 gang, Russian

........................................ Interesting indeed, Jay and Gary! Maybe a pundit will investigate whether it will be possible to mod the new CC Skywave to extend SSB to MW... Michael UK

Hi Interesting use of the venerable 2010 thanx 73 de jordan ve7jjd Hi Thanx 73 de Jordan ve7jjd

Thanks Jay, We will look forward to reading your full review of the CC Skywave SSB model. Since the new SSB capability is limited to the SW bands, however, the model will probably have limited appeal

My initial tests of two different prototypes tells me the SSB performance is at least very good...final production radio is here now and I hope to have a full review posted within a
