I have been working on my first one hundred since mid July when I bought Tecsun's awesome little PL-380 and a R-9012. Soon I am heading up to Osoyoos, BC and will take the radios to see what we can

Off topic Question - Toroid winding

Hi all, for a number of years I have used my own 9:1 baluns based on some of the articles written by John Bryant. These have opposite windings and seem to do pretty good up to about 10 mhz. However,

I've noticed that at least here in the USA (I have yet to log any overseas stations, unless you count logging Santa Barbara, CA in San Diego, CA, due to the curve of the coastline as "overseas"), the

Hi Brian. Depending on the age of the person you spoke to, my guy was 60+ a young guy would not know or care, or is there some kind of embarrassment to hide a few facts about Sangean, for who would

Re: Ferrite rod quality- Question for Gary DeBock, and fav...

Thanks Nick. You are right, 6WA Wagin on 558 kHz (it is 50 kW) is a much better bet for avoiding US domestic frequencies. The transmitter is about 120 miles SE of where I am and is a powerhouse,

Re: PL-310 external MW/LW antenna connection

Hi Richard, Sure, I'll be happy to check it. There seems to be quite a lot of interest in the new PL-210 model, probablybecause of the continuing popularity of its E100/ PL-200 predecessor. You

Re: PL-310 external MW/LW antenna connection

Gary - could you remember to check if the antenna jack on the new PL-210 also works on AM and/or LW ? - THAT would make it very interesting for those unable to do tiny modifications. - FARMERIK

Re: Ferrite rod quality- Question for Gary DeBock, and fav...

Unfortunately, both 720 and 810 are domestic frequencies here in North America, Laurie, though I seem to recall that 720 has been heard on a DXpedition. I wonder if 6WA on 558 would be our best bet,
