Re: Grundig G6

Well, that looks like a consensus there, folks. Is the mini 400 any better? I could snag one from Amazon right now for $30. Or which of these brands is better: Tecsun or Degen, and is either better

Re: Grundig G6

Hi Scott, Like Kevin says, the choice between the PL-310 and PL-380 for AM-DXers issomewhat of a tradeoff, because the slightly larger loopstick of the PL-310 isbalanced off against the reduced

Re: Tropo Logs- August 8-9

Good logs John. Going the opposite direction, FM tropo from southern NJ and Delmarva is received quite often on Cape Cod this time of year, especially in humid / foggy conditions. Re << 107.9 WXKS

Re: ULR DX...NEW STATION ....more Summer DX!!

Sorry, it was below where I was looking... I'd say 11 Watts subtracting 2 hours or 1 hour... an excellent "Antenna Lights" RX. We really should keep track of these. Paul S. in CT

Re: Grundig G6

I've had power outages here in the last few years, and when the grid goes down, a great majority of that hiss dissapears. The E100/PL200 are quiet with some hiss. Even the WRX911 quieted down

ULR DX...NEW STATION ....more Summer DX!!

Hi Guys: Well summer is kinda slowly winding down here, but I guess Aug/08 is still Summer as far as DXing goes!! Surprised to catch a NEW STATION for the ULR Log last night at Bedtime. It's a Relog

Re: PL-360 compare Stock, TERK and 350 uH Diamond weave coil

A thought just occurred to me... Try 940 kHz late-nite, setting for a maximum reception a little nort of due West. I'm getting copyable C&W music without ID fading up. Test #2 tune to 990 kHz at

Re: PL-360 compare Stock, TERK and 350 uH Diamond weave coil

Wow, that 9.25" Litz coil is impressive! That's an average of about 11 dB better than the Terk. Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA

Re: Initial report on mini tunable loop antenna

I'm getting small increases, for example from 20/10 to 25/15.

Re: Initial report on mini tunable loop antenna

Are you getting significant increases in the RSSI numbers? - FARMERIK

Re: Initial report on mini tunable loop antenna

Hi Farmerik, I'm not talking about 9 or 10 kHz tuning steps. What I mean is being able to tune up or down one 10 kHz step with one click of the tuning wheel (or one press of a button, as on the
