Thanks Farmerik, Your comments on the 7.5" plug-in loopstick are appreciated, and I'm reallyenjoying the entire project. Like you said, it's easy to take these antennas ona mountain top picnic,

It was Hank Bennett for certain. I asked Intel for a memory upgrade for my brain several years ago, but they said they no longer make 2-bit Carbon-based RAM ... Tony (VE3NO) ComputerViz, NYAA

Hi Mark (and Richard), You are certainly the resident TA expert on the Ultralightdx list (alongwith Alan Willie), so your TA recommendations would certainly be the onesto try for next fall. TA's

The BSKSA 1521 creates a strong het against KOKC (ex-KOMA) 1520. I live about 117 km/72 mi north of KOKC and can hear it most evenings of the year from after sundown until 0300 UTC, I assume the

Nobody seems to be mentioning Saudi Arabia 1521 and Algeria 549 which pack monster signals here in the Boston area many nights. I would rate these at least as good as the 1134 Croatian. The 1521

Hello Paul, I am certainly going to try for barefoot Sporadic E on my Eton G8 this summer, I caught a bit of Portugal on the 8th April opening, but it was a bit weak, I also had weak TV channel R2

Hello All, When China's Tecsun Company introduced their new PL-360 DSP model with theplug-in loopstick design, it seemed like a good idea to create a few 7.5"plug-in loopsticks for non-technical

Yeah, 1134 would be tough, with 1134's 50+dBu splatter coming from a 350 deg heading. I wonder if 1215 may be possible? KPRZ San Marcos-Poway's ~48-52dBu signal on 1210 is about 25.71 mi away,

And on the other hand I could sit on a beach in NZ in 1962 or so and listen to KFI, CKWX, and I don't remember how many other West Coast AM stations on a "9 transistor" National Pansonic, barefoot

Hi Stephen (and Tony), As Tony related, it would be tough to receive 1134-Croatia on the westcoast if they are not transmitting :-) Their new hours (1600-2245 Z)certainly don't sound good for west

Farmerik, I have read the posts about your experiments, also with interest. I'm not saying that an unbalanced air-loop won't bring in strong signals. More precisely, I think it will be inconsistent,

Sadly Stephen, Croatia's broadcasts are reported now confined to 1600-2245Z on 1134. This has always been a somewhat magical European --- no doubt due to great ground, and an ocean view from the

Do I have any chance here in San Diego to get that station on 1134? I have a local 10kW on 1130 (KSDO) that's 6.33 miles away at a heading of 350.03°, so that may pose a bit of a challenge. A few

Geography will play a factor. I'll never get 100 Latins (or Canadians since there aren't that many left on AM) but I'm at 96 Pennsylvania stations and nearly 80 stations from both New York and

Scott- If you have time, go back to my recent posts about using an untuned 2 foot loop with a short lead on my PL-360. It did work and get me several new logs in a short time the other night, but

Thanks Tony, Your 7.5" plug-in loopstick package is traveling faster thanexpected, considering that it's a weekend with NHL playoff distractions :-)A Monday arrival would be great. Yes,

Hi Kevin, Thanks for sharing the results of your air-loop experiments. I always enjoy reading about such experiments and considering how those results square with theory. I think there are a couple
