Re: Recent FSL Antenna Experimentation
Gary, did you ever give any thought to going to a small custom fab shop and getting a quote on a small quantity build of your small design FSL? These kinds of shops specialize in small run custom

Re: 96.3 OFM 209km D-808 with yagi aerial
The PL-398MP is much better on FM than the XHDATA-D808.
The D-808 wasn't able to pass this test when using a vertical FM dipole.

FM stations 100kHz apart can be separated.

Re: 96.3 OFM 209km D-808 with yagi aerial
Hola Jorge,
There is an antenna socket on the left-hand side of the D-808 which works on SW and FM.
There is some evidence of overload using a yagi on FM. I'd imagine the overload will be worse in

Hi Peter,
Could you provide more info about that use of a yagi with the little D-808, and your overall opinion of the results?

Yes after sunset would make a huge difference, for me my station count goes from 15 to 100+ after dark.--

DXing Time V Results
This is more of a "thrown it out to the universe type question.
What is the "right" amount of time to spend DXing against the results you get? This plays in to the law of "Diminishing Returns". You

Re: Headphones?
I bought several pairs of those Sony headphones up on sale at Walgreen's or CVS several years ago on a trip. I agree that they sound decent for the price. They fold up, which is good for traveling
