I must say I'd been better off sleeping late this morning. I started listening earlier and heard a man talking in JJ on 774 kHz at 1030 UTC. The signal faded in and out until 1059, and was never at

Hello to All, Trans-Atlantic reception here lately seems to be bowing out earlier giving way to more Domestic DX evenings. Signals are still quite good, however, thus creating a shorter number of log

Incidentally, I posted a video of my 19” ferrite bar antenna in usewith my Satellit 750—on Youtube, search term is “ferrite rod antenna” and it issubmitted by “salmonguyrep”(I love salmon

Finally, after my experiences with the Kchivo D96L, an ultralight that really lives up to its reputation. WLW in Cincinnati coming in almost like a local and I am in Puerto Rico not in the mainland.

My conditions are out of the box unmodified no speakers or headphones. One radio gets 100 hours the other 36. Why? And I'll leave it at that. Paul S. in CT

I'm glad you liked it! I'll do my best to gain more insight. I'm going to read and reread the ferrite rod antenna articles on dxing.ca to understand more (Very Large Ferrite Loops will be the

RE: Allen...A bunch of us have been hearing WCXN Claremont, NC in Spanish on this Frequency for the past few weeks!! Here's my Logging from the 18th.......... Maybe it's them you're hearing?? They're

Thanks Russ, And thanks to Rob, Paul and all who have commented privately on the batterylife test matter. Maybe it's time that we "pull the ribbon," and disconnect thebatteries on this discussion?

Hello To All, Hearing a Spanish speaking station fading in and out tonight on 1170 khz. At peaks the signal is stronger, however always when music is playing so far, can't seem to get a peak at the

Point is, battery life is also, as Gary noted, variable with volume, and variable with speakers vs headphones. Speakers use much more than headphones, headphones more than earbuds, and higher volume

I think if Gary was willing to just check the life with batteries on hand, that would be sufficient. I'm not really asking for rocket science. Just plug in your alkalines and see what ya get. Brands

A very appropriate query, Rapahel. I assume the DSP RF chip incorporates a varactor which tracks and tunes the RF antenna coil. This can confuse any attempted tuning of an external loop or

Dear George: Thank you for this information—your projectlooks great! If I am to understand this correctly, the tuning is accomplishedby the position of the coil vis-à-vis the rod or is it an

I'm glad that made you laugh. I liked that saying a lot too plus it really fit. I found the quote in Google Books. It has been really fun investigating how these antennas work. As for me, I just

Hello Paul: I think you're being a little UNFAIR here!!! Gary did not say he wasn't open to conducting the tests for Battery Life...what he said was......... "If you would like

OK, I see you're not open to a casual test. Thanks anyways. Paul S. in CT

Paul, As you probably are aware, Ultralight radio battery lifecomparison tests are only useful if consistent testing parameters areestablished, such as the same battery manufacturer, battery type,

Hello All, The same deep freeze noted by Bruce also hitthe Puyallup (WA) area last night, making it impractical to setup large loop antennas in the back yard. That probably didn'tmatter much,
