Thank you. I will get a frequency list together and see what looks like the most likely targets.

Thanks Peter.

Hello Edward 1350 Tshabong, Botswana is on air. They went off air last year for a few months but came back. Peter

Hi! I managed to catch Botswana on 1350 kHz at the night time (using just loop antenna Tecsun AN-200), but it was one year ago. I don't know, whether they are on air now. Also it was possible to hear

Hello Paul, MWlist.org Is the source I use, it covers the whole world. Peter

Hello Steve, I didn't think it was 50 ohms, more like 1000 ohms, but I wanted confirmation. The Tecsun AN200 loop connects directly to the PL-360's aerial socket and works well. The impedance of the

Thanks Gary, sounds like my idea is out of the question.

Thanks Peter. What would be the best source of information on them.

has anyone tried simply wrapping the ferrite with 8 turns of wire and then allowing that to be connected to a longer piece of wire. ======================== Kenneth J. Murray VO1KJM EM:

Hi Peter, The radio uses the SiLabs DSP chip--it requires a specific inductance so the DSP chip will tune. It's not an external antenna input as such, it wants an inductance such as

Hello Paul, Yes South Africa does still have Medium Wave radio, as do Mozambique and Lesotho and Botswana. Peter Botswana

Hello Steve, Do you know the impedance of the PL-360 aerial socket? I'm thinking about connecting a flag antenna. Peter Botswana

Thanks Steve, my idea won't work then.-- Paul

Well, I'm afraid without some real unsoldering work which would leave the FSL unusable, your idea won't work. The Pl360/365/SSB etc. all use the SiLabs DSP chip which tunes the antenna

I was hoping to keep the FSL "as is" and find a way to use it without it having to be physically close to the radio. Paul -- Paul

Are you asking if you can mechanically connect a FSL's inductor (removing connections to its variable capacitor first) to a 3.5mm plug to replace the stock ferrite rod antenna?

Hypothetical: Can you directly connect a FSL to a radio like a PL360 which has a 3.5mm aerial connector? If so, how would you do it. Paul

Hi. Between the west coast of Tasmania and South Africa is basically a heap of ocean and nothing much else. I have been looking online but have not been able to find much solid information on if they
