And on the other hand I could sit on a beach in NZ in 1962 or so and listen to KFI, CKWX, and I don't remember how many other West Coast AM stations on a "9 transistor" National Pansonic, barefoot

Hi Stephen (and Tony), As Tony related, it would be tough to receive 1134-Croatia on the westcoast if they are not transmitting :-) Their new hours (1600-2245 Z)certainly don't sound good for west

Farmerik, I have read the posts about your experiments, also with interest. I'm not saying that an unbalanced air-loop won't bring in strong signals. More precisely, I think it will be inconsistent,

Sadly Stephen, Croatia's broadcasts are reported now confined to 1600-2245Z on 1134. This has always been a somewhat magical European --- no doubt due to great ground, and an ocean view from the

Do I have any chance here in San Diego to get that station on 1134? I have a local 10kW on 1130 (KSDO) that's 6.33 miles away at a heading of 350.03°, so that may pose a bit of a challenge. A few

Geography will play a factor. I'll never get 100 Latins (or Canadians since there aren't that many left on AM) but I'm at 96 Pennsylvania stations and nearly 80 stations from both New York and

Scott- If you have time, go back to my recent posts about using an untuned 2 foot loop with a short lead on my PL-360. It did work and get me several new logs in a short time the other night, but

Thanks Tony, Your 7.5" plug-in loopstick package is traveling faster thanexpected, considering that it's a weekend with NHL playoff distractions :-)A Monday arrival would be great. Yes,

Hi Kevin, Thanks for sharing the results of your air-loop experiments. I always enjoy reading about such experiments and considering how those results square with theory. I think there are a couple

Hi from South America! I also intend to apply for a DX Centurian Award some day in the near future!!!, in my case for 100 Argentinian MW stations heard with UL barefoot (SRF39FP/E-100)! I've just went

Sold to P.P. Tnx, Bill

This isn't meant as a complaint, only an observation of geographical irony. From here in South Florida, several foreign countries are closer than many Florida stations, and the nearest U.S. state,

Ok I got a question.... I read something in the ultralight awards info about not counting stations in one's own political entity for DX Centurian (America, Eurasia, Oceania, etc, or however they were

Mine is sitting in Mississauga Postal Centre (the other side of Toronto), where it arrived at 3 am this morning, according to tracking. I am looking forward to plugging it in when it finishes the

Hello All, Thanks to Richard and Kevin for their initial DXing reports on these PL-3607.5" upgrade loopsticks. The concept of plugging in a highly sensitive loopstickto this DSP model appears to be

Hi Kirk, Thanks for the report of the new 1480-XETKR logging, and it's great to haveyou back in the Latin American DXing chase. Your experience in logging Mexicanstations in Texas will probably pay

Hi Gang, I finally took some time after work tonight to do some DXing from Oklahoma...the first real chance I had to listen since moving back up here from Texas. I was able to snag a new XE for the
