Hi all: Inspired by the success of the 7.5" plug-in ferrite that Gary has produced, I decided to see what the performance of the PL-360 would be using a large air-core loop jacked directly in. I

Kirk: The storms yesterday were especially arranged to welcome you back home. Luckily they missed me, but I did have straight winds of 60+ mph about three hours later. There wasn't a cloud anywhere

Hello Farmerik, Thanks very much for your positive comments on the DXing performance of the7.5" plug-in loopstick for the PL-360. When Tecsun first came out with thisplug-in loopstick design for the

Hi Stephen, Rob probably knew that I was just joking around with him, about receivingAlaska and Hawaii :-) Even here in Puyallup, WA (about 90 miles inland), neither state is allthat easy to

Rob, Congratulations on state #41!! Excellent catch! I'm back in Oklahoma now but haven't had much time to listen. We had tornadoes hop, skipping, and jumping all around the state last night.

I am very happy with the portability and increased number of stations I get with your MW ferrite antenna for the PL-360, and I will want to get one of the LW ones as soon as available. I can see you

I'd have to say that it depends a lot on where you live. In coastal, or even semi-coastal areas you get some 'ducting' in the morning and evening as the air temperature changes in relation to the

I understand the best time of day for AM dxing is sunrise to sunset but what is the best time of day to try DXing for FM stations. Thanks Mike Glynn

Easy for you, maybe, as you have a direct salt water path to both places, and you probably don't have local blowtorches on the same frequency as the most likely AK/HI candidates. Here in So Cal,

Wow Rob, Congratulations on state #41! The way you are going, can Alaska and Hawaii be far behind? Actually, theyare both pretty easy-- I've heard them both many times... 73, Gary (in Puyallup,

Hi Milton, Thanks for your message, and Steve mentioned that he doesplan to send off your 40/44 Litz wire soon. Both the Tecsun PL-300WT and PL-360 models have been tested out thoroughlyhere, and

Hi Guys: Last night I did some tuning on the BCB before hitting the hay. I didn't expect to hear much as things have been pretty sparse around here lately. To my surprise I was able to hear 2 NEW

Hi Gary, I received an email from Steve Ratzlaff ok ? He offered me enough litz wire for my antenna 7.5 "ferrite with Amidon. I take just to ask if anyone has compared the PL-360 is quieter than the

Hello All, The Tecsun PL-360 model is quite a modest DSP receiver in relation to itsPL-380 and PL-310 siblings, but it does offer the unique chance fornon-technical DXers to obtain a huge

Keith: Thank you for asking, I should have stated that these were the main stations. I'm still getting used to the idea of HD, etc. John Washburn Newport, Vermont ---------------------------

John, Your shootouts are always informative and interesting. Do the totals for the Insignia pocket radios include HD sub-channels, or just the main stations? Haven't had much luck with FM Dx here in

That is a lot of stations for that part of northern VT, and I like your long list of radios too! - FARMERIK
