Gary and I have also discovered that within the city limits of Puyallup there can be major differences in TP MW reception. Gary lives a few miles closer to salt water Puget Sound than I do, and he is

Thanks Gil and Jim... Yep - I have the manual, and did everything as they tell you to. I think the problem is that I used the Alkaline AA batteries that came with the radio, and this is the first

Re 850 WREF: I would say its a programming error, I have heard them at night 3 times in 4 years. Their daytime signal reaches here fine. Usually at nite I have my hands full with WEEI from the

Dave, The Battery button, also the M button to the left of zero on the numeric keypad, may be the culprit. The draft manual on Yahoo Files > 3 Radios, Reviews, Manuals > Radio Manuals, page 15, tells

Hi guys, My PL-380 has suddenly decided not to recognize that I have put in a set of freshly-charged AA batteries. It will switch on and receive on MW and FM, but will not let me select LW (my band

Wow, that does sound like a nice catch. :) I wonder if I'd be out of luck trying to get that from here on the west coast with a barefoot unmodded PL-380. I live within a few miles of a 50kW (at

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
