I agree - daytime DXing can be quite interesting. For right now that's most of the DXing I like to do, too. I'm about 15 miles or so east of San Diego, CA, and some stations I've been able to hear

Hi Stephen, 756-Germany was a lucky catch here in Washington state, and probablyhappened only because of the monster gain from the 9' PVC loop. The signal wasnot only boosted by the loop

Jim, Puyallup is about 90 miles from the ocean, but only about 5 miles from saltwater (Puget Sound). The TP propagation here is nowhere near as favorableas on a Pacific Ocean beach, but probably

Hello All Fellow ULR DX'ers: In light of the Tragic News of John Bryant's passing earlier this week, I have consulted with Gary DeBock regarding the Future of the ULR Awards Program. As many of you

I'll have to look into building a regen. Sounds like my kind of radio. Right now I'm swamped with work I am not so successfully avoiding. So I have had to put real radio projects on hold. When I come

Congratulations John on your great catch there in Deleware of Germany on 756 The other two frequencies we often here as well for Germany are 972 and especially 1422 which can be found playing a lot

"One of these days I'd like to build a large box loop or something that'sseveral feet in diameter. I may base it on one of the loops on Bruce Carter'swebsite, but would be open to other suggestions,

I thought about using varactors to remote tune a loop, but always wound up preferring to be right alongside it, so I could nudge it for that little bit of extra signal. I think it's all psychological.

Hi John and Allen, Congratulations on your logging of 756-Germany, John. It is a very rarevisitor here on the west coast, but always requires a serious external antenna,in addition to a very

Hi Jim! Yes, it is the old BAX-1. This whole project begain two years ago when i was able to snag an Eton E1 for $225 from the Circuit City melt down of November 2007. I was interested in the E1 not

Tony, Thanks for that other link. Yes, MW propagation is more interesting than HF IMO, and varies from one end of the band to the other. Probably not the best choice for broadcasting, but what did

It does not appear to be different than the funeral home obituary.But here is the link to the newspaper obituary for John

One of the things that used to be done in those air core loops was a basket weave using wooden slats to reduce that self capacitance. I used some extra slats from my wife's wooden blinds to make up

Here's another web site with info on that radio I just found for the guy who owns it. You can see the coils a little better in this one. http://www.oldradioworld.de/oe333.htm And if you speak German,

Thanks for that link! Those are "basket-weave" coils. The method allows high inductance while reducing self capacitance, which could turn the coil into a stand-alone resonant circuit. Doesn't hurt to
