Raph - Off the top of my head, I did not have a guess how many turns to try. The number you picked is close to a 6X6 multi layer coil with 6 layers of 6 turns each. I am not sure with a multilayer

Farmerik: If you are using variable two sections, each 384 pfd,then presumably you are using 768 pfd worth of capacitance to tune yourantenna. When you state that this enables you to tune “about 60%

Hi Robert; Is SONY SRF T 615 much better on FM and AM in comparison to other radios, say SANGEAN pocket radio, or some TECSUN radios. It certainly costs lot more. However, if it's much better

Hello To All, Last evening will be a memorable one for both Dianne and myself as we were entertained with what would be, according to recent reports if correct, the last night of AM broadcasting

Granted...in many hobbies...that that is stock/barebones and pure can be very subjective. I.E.: in QRP ham radio...how high/big is your antenna? It's easy with ULR AM DXing: a stock radio is what it

WNIO is now Fox Sports Net...and their end-fire array is heavily directional north (right at you)...so, nice catch! Tim, KD8GZ near Akron, Ohio

Hi Guys: OK..this is it for tonight..gotta get a few hours sleep!!! Tecsun PL-380 with DeBock 7.5 Inch Ferrite Rod External Antenna (Not made for Longwave!!) 338 DE Detroit (Madds),

Hi Guys: Now you've done it Gary and Kevin!!!!!! I just went out and dug 3 More Beacons out of the Mud......and they were all from QUEBEC!!! That's Province # 2 Heard.......... Same Useless setup

Hi Guys: OK...I promised Kevin that if I got over 900 AM Stations logged on ULR, I would do some Beacon DXing!!!! So, here it is!!! I logged these 6 Beacons while sitting on my Couch in my

Hello Kevin and All, Good luck in your NDB chasing tomorrow morning, Kevin. One mistake in my previous post was listing "239-M9," which really should have been "240-M9." For Kevin, Steve and anyone

I added four new stations to my log, all with a barefoot SRF-T615 (date & time UTC). 2-10-11 1250 KNEU, Roosevelt UT (0.5 kW) @ 1319 (#803). 1240 KDOK, Kilgore TX (1 kW) @ 1349 (#804). 2-11-11 1240

... and congratulations on hitting 100 LW loggings! It's certainly harder to hit that mark on LW, and your Amidon modification really is doing the trick for you. At some point the big box loop might

Thanks Gary - I have looked a few times for 200-UAB, and you list gives me a couple leads for tomorrow morning. Yeah, this NDB bug really bites hard :-) I stopped beaconing a couple years ago

Hello Kevin and All, Congratulations on the logging of 371-TVY, Kevin, and your 7th NDB state-- glad to provide the tip. This morning was one of the wildest NDB-DXing sessions ever observed here,

Having been to a local park in the mornings for DXing, it occurred to me that I have to pass the park on the way home, too! So, since I got back to the island around local sunset, I stopped off at

Its been a lot tougher since the hurricanes of 2008. I had what I considered to be a reliable listing of network/location prior. It seems the networks are now more dynamic, and the locations differ

Raph - I don't know why Stormwise made these antennas to need nearly 1000 pF to tune the whole AM BCB, but that is what they say. I am using 2 sections [of about 384 pF each] on a cap from Crystal

Hi Peter, The Ultralight General Awards Program information is contained in a file under Section 2 (General Information) of the Ultralightdx File Section, linked

About a half-hour of listening snared 2 new URL loggings on my Sony SRF-T615 (totally stock): 570 CKGL/Kitchener, Ontario @ 6:45pm EST with "5-70 News". First time ever heard with ANY radio! 880
