Thanks, Chris! It was a real surprise! I'm happy to be able to add them as a new country to my ULR log! 73 & God bless, Steve N5WNI Clear Lake City TX

Greg, Glad I could help! Like I said, I was totally surprised to hear them under WHB. I wish their signal would have stayed stronger above the static, but it started to fade out around 0416

Very nice reception, Steve! It would be almost impossible here as I now have a local on 810 (KLVZ) which used to be on 800. Their move freed up 800 enough to pull in CKLW last week on a PL-380.

Hmmm. I wonder what's up with Amidon. There is another source for Amidon ferrite rods: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/misc/amidon.html . Universal part # R61-050750 should do the trick. The

Those guys guilding coils for ferrite antennas ... I found this circuit and construction details for Very Accurate LC Meter based on PIC16F84A IC on http://electronics-diy.com/lc_meter.php

Thanks Roy, Sorry about Amidon's steep shipping charge-- that $36.00 fee must be aboutthe same cost as the ferrite bars themselves. My package from Amidon finally arrived today, even though they

Gary, Interesting. I ordered one each 3.75", 4.00", and 7.5" type 61 .5" diameter rods on 12/30/2009. I got a shipping confirmation 01/7/2010. I heven't got the parts yet, but they claim that they

Greg, Congrats on Bahamas. I've been ULR DXing for a little over a month, starting with a G8 and now a PL-380, either barefoot or with a Terk loop. I put a text-file version of my log, sorted by

That is correct (assuming G8 = PL-300). I've been able to read out the bandwidth parameter on my PL-300 using an experimental USB interface. -Scott- p.s. I've made nice progress with the

Thanks Steve, because of your report, I justsnagged 810 Freeport, Bahamas as well. At 0630 UTC it is running // with 1540Nassau. Both were coming in good here in North Florida with fades. I just got

Tuning across the band with my DT-400W, at 0405 UTC I noticed a heavily British accented female voice on 810 kHz in a deep null of WHB Kansas City. I sat on frequency and found out that it was ZNS-3

My best guess is 3 kHz.

Since you have both the PL-380 and the G8, can you tell which fixed AM bandwidth the G8 has by comparing it to the settings on the PL-380 Please? - FARMERIK

Picked up the PL-380 today at the post office. Key points of interest: * Two screws in the battery compartment * Date of manufacture given as December 2009 * There does not seem to be much, if any,

You are just ordering them faster than they can make them! I was searching on line and on eBay, and it looks like there are a bunch of new models of radios with DSP in there description sold under
