My SAT helps plenty with my GE Superadio II and III, as well as the Realistic TRF -- although it is sometimes hard to tell because of the already great sensitivity of those radios, you are often

The only radio I've found which didn't like an open loop antenna like the Terk or Radio Shack loops, was a Radio Shack DX-398/Sangean 909. Placing it near the case caused the radio to oscillate.

eCrater has at least one offering when typing PL-210 into the search box. Price about $70. Paul S. in CT

Hi Gary, Any chance of the PL210 making the 2010 shootout? It is available on taobao but not ebay it seems. Best Wishes, Steve

Thank you, Gary. I guess if it's that bad on AM there's really no use in reviewing it. Tony

That should be KFAQ Tulsa If i get it. Right now I am hearing talk-show thats not Midnite Trucks on 1170. Paul S. in CT

A lot of stuff is fall/winter only. WGN 550 Buffalo is regular here at those times. Disney 550 weak here, but here. We'll see this fall season. Tonite I did catch a good call from WYFN Nashville on

It is interesting how the three of us in Connecticut, a state only about 60X90 miles, hear different stations on the same frequencies. As Paul and I noted before, I get WBAL in Baltimore MD much

Hi Steve, I'll be happy to include the PL210 in the 2010 Shootout if you think it hasa decent chance of success (against the radios listed below). One of the requirements for inclusion, though,

620 WVMT Vermont is almost a pest here. It's always there. 630 WPRO RI is much worse. I get it days 'weak' but at night can't catch much on 630 as WPRO is always there. I always heard WDEV 550

I hear the programming in bits and pieces at sunset noID, and not in the ULDX logs after 5 years! and I'm maybe 40 mi air distance. Paul S. in CT

980 kHz here in New Haven County looks like Mets on WOFX Troy, NY, Washinton Nationals on WTEM Wash., DC, Yankees on ??? haven't figured that one out, but might be RedSox... heard that one tonite, but

So far it looks like the Diamond weave antennas are much quieter plugged directly into the PL-360 [no external capacitor] than when I resonate the diamond weave with a cap, and inductively couple to

In Connecticut ? Good Luck at 980 WSUB ID. It took me several weeks to finally hear one and then it is hard to understand. I don't normally get it here 'day' but listenable when I haunt the

I was talking about old Zenith, RCA and GE portables with a tuned RF amplifier section from the late 50's to late 60's, and also the bigger old Grundig, and NordeMende sets. Even my GE Superadio III

Unfortuneately, I have to wait for the TV set (old style CRT) to extinguish before attempting weak-signal here. 30 feet away and the noise loads up the upper band :( I tried with the 1-transistor set

You have done well to get VT and Maine. Even though I am closer, they are very difficult to get more than one station each for me in the opposite corner of CT. There is a Sports Station on 990 in

I just read the article and then went to listen to 1170. I was surprised to hear them back on the air so soon. Good for them. Signal isn't too bad up here either. Jon W1JHJ Plymouth, MA

Was listening earlier tonite at sunset 19:57 to 20:00 EDT (2400UT) and while listening for WSUB Groton, CT heard a call in the mix for WIOK. A look-up indicates WIOK is an FM station on 107.5FM. They

So far I haven't figured how to null much with the diamond weave coils, as they pick up radially off the rim,instead of off the ends of the coil. How can you tilt the edge of a circle? I haven't tried
