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

WWVA has come back up today with 5000 watts running into what is left of one of their towers, plus some guy wires. Russ Edmunds Blue Bell, PA ( 360' ASL ) [15 mi NNW of Philadelphia] 40:08:45N;

This just in from DXLD groups, and reprinted here for DXing enthusiasts. Heres a chance for KVOO and/or your sunrise/sunset logs. I will be attempting KVOO with the PL's tonite after 10PM EDT. Paul

The Terman RF book came out in the '40s or '50s and was already a classic in 1967 when I started EE courses at Northeastern University (coincidentally right after getting my ham license). In 2010 the

I've attempted running my unamplified 2' air core loop into the external antenna input of my Sony 2010 ( not a ULR by any means ) which normally disables the ferrite, but it still has problems with

Thanks, Kevin for the welcome. Yes, that's the reference, alright. You are right about the swamping or overwhelming effect of a large loop. Another problem with strong coupling of tuned loops is that

Hi Tony, Both the PL-360 and the Degen DE1105 radios are here, and the DE1105 wasactually purchased for the 2009 Ultralight Shootout last year-- but failedto qualify for the final group, because of

Hi Laurie: Welcome! I'm glad you checked in, and know a thing or two about loops to boot :-) On Terman, do you mean the Radio Engineer's Handbook? What you say makes sense - my 7600GR works well

New member here from Australia. I'm thoroughly enjoying this group. Thanks to everyone for making it such a dynamic and interesting one ! Guys, when an external tuned loop antenna (such as a Q Stick

Thanks Tony - I indeed tried everything, including putting the Q Stick in the PL-390's end fire (so-called "adjacent orientation"), and there is at best a slight boost to the PL-390's sensitivity.
