Hello All, A medium-sized replacement loopstick for the Tecsun PL-360 was wound on a3" x 3/8" type 61 Amidon ferrite bar, using 40/44 Litx wire at an inductance of315 uh (which practically maxed out

Hello Jeff, Thanks for your interest in the Tecsun PL-360 model. The FM and SW reception capabilities of the PL-360 fall somewhat shortof the PL-310 and PL-380 models because of the shorter (by

Great catch!- FARMERIK

This one still eludes me after 4 years :( Being in the X-Band I always thought this an easy target, but utility noise always seems about. At Rocky Neck St. Park, its easy at dusk even on a WRX911

Caught a new one for te log tonite just before local sunset. Tuning from 720 upwards I found a religious station on 750kHz at 1935 EDT. Listened for 8 minutes until fade away at 1943 EDT... just

Here are a few loggings from Litchfield Beach ,S.C. I did not do much dxing from there. 1620 WDHP Frederiksted ,U.S.V.I. 1945-2006 EDT Caribbean style music.i.d." You are listening to WDHP-AM..U.S.

Hello Farmerik and Fernando, Thank you for your interest in this PL-360 plug-in loopstick project, whichseems like an ideal way for a DXer to get a huge AM sensitivity boost withouteven opening up

i will buy one

IT WORKS!!!! Now, who wants to wind and sell plug in ferrite antennas for the fumble fingered? - FARMERIK

Clarence, This should explain it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder The major consumer portable manufacturers have been slow to adopt DSP. Sony, which once led the way with synchronous

The sun's at us again. Some of us complained about the duration of the last solar minimum. Now the sun's telling us, I'm ba-a-a-a-ck! After one peaceful day we had a G3-level storm yesterday, and a G2

Hi Everyone, I have a Grundig G8 and I really like the volume control. I don't know what it's called (that's my question actually). It's a rotary wheel that doesn't stop, IMHO an outstanding feature,

Hi, Steve, Yes, I used a bobbin. Various physical limitations due to age, make it take a little longer. The worst part was making sure the #24, which is fairly stiff, was snug all the way 'round. It

Hi Jim, I wind a lot of toroids and use a homemade bobbin to windanything that has more than about 20 turns. The larger the core the larger andlonger the bobbin--for that big 240 core something like a

Thanks for the info! I hope to avoid starting a collection but the 790 looks interesting. All of those old sets had 455-kHz IFs and so-so image rejection. I think the next one is going to be

Hi Guys: Well...I'm still squeezing the guts out of what's left of the AM BCB Season. Tonight at Sunset Skip I logged ONE NEW STATION, and a RELOG CALL CHANGE. So...even though it's getting noisier

Thanks for the kitsandparts link! I've been struggling to find a good source for toroids and wire at reasonable prices. -Scott-

In addition to the overall shape of the antenna (length vs diameter), a big factor in creating deep nulls is the symmetry of the antenna, both physically and electrically. In addition the symmetry of
