Hi Gary,  Have you ever measured Q of any of your FSLs? I thought Q was important from when I first heard of the FSL, although, when a guru responded in an email, I questioned him on that, he got

I like that Phillips clock radio. I have one of those Dick Smith ones, it has a strange quirk in that it seems to mute out the white noise between stations, almost like it has a squelch feature on it.

Thanks for the review, I too find it's really good on FM. I'm hoping to get the time to do a Dxpedition to Wilson's Prom one day & take it to Mt Obrion to try and pick up some of the Tas FM stations.

OK Jerry, Feel free to send the model here if you wish-- if it's an easy fix I won't ask for any repair $$, and send it back to you. If the 100mm ferrite bars are cracked there isn't much I can do,

Upon closer inspection, the 2 wires coming out from the radio case, that are both inside the shrink tube, both need to be re soldered together. All parts that were on the

Jerry, From an eyesight point of view, the most challenging part of that project was to solder the two 250/46 Litz wires onto the two PL-380 circuit board terminals. Possible problems in that process

Thanks Gary, I believe the 250/46 Litz wire and ferrite bars need to be better aligned, and the 2 wires coming from the circuit board re-soldered. I have limited vision with Glaucoma, and probably

Hello Jerry (and Michael), <<< A long while ago I attempted the 3 Inch FSL on the Tecsun PL-380. It needs some adjustments, I'm not a good assembler with my bad eyesight. Anyone available to

Hello Mike, and others. Here is a picture on this sunny day in California of a sample of Variable caps I have, mostly were transmitter type, but many cover the range of 300 or so pf. Don't know if

<<< Hello, Fellow LF/MF DXers! Amazing Antenna. I plan to build one. Looking for suppliers for the russian variety of ferrite, used, including the one of special shape that avoids the "sticks of

Thanks Craig and Chris, Your comments on the 3" Baby FSL video are greatly appreciated! Of course there is constant tweaking and testing of new FSL designs here, and A/B testing is pretty relentless.

Ah, good point, Patrick Perchance we need to crowdfund an FSL Shipping Line.. Problem : dodgy smugglers might wish to piggyback... The variable capacitor should be less tricky:- - any airspaced from

I bought two cheaper varieties... Should come in soon. They look alike, but the cheaper one is made from a duller looking aluminum... not stainless or whatever is used on the $40 ones. The materials

Jerry, I am the wrong side of The Pond, but assume you will find merry helpers. The jpg suggests a basic problem which should not be difficult to resolve. Gary? Michael Left-of-The-Pond --- Diese

Hi Gary, I second all that! This FSL is definitely the fashion accessory that every ultralight DXer must have. I’ll be at Convention as well. Best 73 de Chris

Hi Gary, Thanks for the great video and for the redesigned "Baby FSL". I can attest to it's usefulness having had the pleasure to have and use an earlier iteration at Kalaloch(my first TSA Friendly
