The NAB (formerly referred to as NARTB) equalization is very severe and only slightly different than the RIAA Phono eq...neither is suitable for a nominally "flat" input signal and will give a huge

Welcome to our group. I run an active blog and am one of the moderators of this group. Gary is the real driver behind this group and the FSL aerials but I am happy to answer any questions I

Dear friends of this Group; I am really happy to be registered as a new member of "UltralightDX Group". I am a radio amateur with Call IK7JGI. For several decades, I have been engaged in radio

Thanks Jay Some of my tube amps have tape head inputs too. I can't remember what the NAB equalization is like for those. Perhaps you know. Most all with mag phono inputs have equalization choices to

If the output is too low for a Line level input I would try a Mic input rather than a Phono input as the phono;s RIAA equalization will give very unflat frequency response.

Thanks Paul. I saw your email before I saw your message here. I will use a microphone or phono input on a tube Hi-Fi amp made in the 1950's. I have a collection of them to try. It is mentioned in the

Hi Gary. I have listened to this file multiple times, as much as I try I am not able to give you a solid ID. 2XL has now moved to FM and this frequency has not been one that I have devoted much DXing

I have a couple of Ultralight radios which I have posted reviews

Miller made these pretty good in the day. More modern individual components would make it better using ceramic caps and tighter tolerances. For a start the manual suggests using a 15pF cap on top of

DEFINATELY take advantage of Jay Allen reviews and excellent information! And since he posts here, he may answer questions after you read his

I wonder if I connected the MLA-30 across the antenna winding. It that likely to work? Another way is add a second winding on the ferrite antenna to couple, but finding the right number of turns

I don't have any info for you on this but just wanted to comment that this looks like an interesting and fairly unique device. Good luck with it! Jay

Back to ULR's, I did buy one of those MLA-30 amplified untuned loops which ARE very compact and light weight, mainly to use with the PL-360 series of radios. When you unplug the stock antenna you can

If I remember correctly, you used to DX with simple one active device radios. I just won a Miller Hi Fi crystal AM tuner on Ebay, and wondered if the germanium crystal could be replaced with something

Australian capital city stations like 873 Sydney 2GB, and 1116 Brisbane 4BC will be around a long time. This is because they attract older (maybe very old) listeners for mainly talk-back. These
