Tony, In the photos section of this group, Gary has posted high-res pictures of the PL-310 loopstick. It has 80 turns and a reported inductance of 318 uH. Revising Jim's calculation: With a 15-turn

KNX-1070 has made it to the East Coast a few times and we might have a better chance once the Sarnia station completes its move to FM.

Tony, Congrats on the Hoop Loop! The right number of turns you wind on the ferrite rod depends on how many turns Tecsun used, and the inductance of the rod by itself. Has anyone measured the

Gang, I have been watching Jim's experiments with his hoop loop for months but was buried in a project and couldn't dig in. When I finished the project, I decided to give the hoop loop a try, but I

SOON! I got the magnet wire today, but no toroids yet. I'll follow your best designs, and think I might have talked my wife into winding. - FARMERIK

I'm a mile away from having logged all the XE states. I'm quite sure that Richard Allen has the best totals for the Okie ULR DXers. Had I have stayed in SE TX, I believe that hearing all the XE states

I compared two Hoop Loop matching transformers. One is 5000 uH, wound on an FT114-43 core, with a 100-turn secondary and 6-turn primary (turns ratio = 16.7; tuned inductance = 2350 uH). The other is

Farda 1575 has a good signal here in MA many early evenings too, but Saudi 1521 has the edge, often by 10 dB or more. UAE, being farther east, puts it in a better spot for bouncing in the "auroral

Thanks Steve, I'm happy that you enjoyed reading the Sony SRF-39FP loopsticktransplant article. Loopstick experimentation is lots of fun, and it doesn't require much $$ ifyou can salvage some

Thank you for your time Gary. These past couple days I've been steadfastly searching and reading articles pro and con, but mostly pro. I read a number of your interesting modifications at DXer.CA -

I was using the ferrite rod from you last night, and comparing it to the 2 foot air core. I noticed the dB S/N numbers are Much higher on the ferrite, and the dBu numbers are much, much higher on the

Hi Farmerik, Thanks for your LW report on the PL-360, using the AM-designed7.5" plug-in loopstick. If you try your new PL-360 loopstick on the LW frequencies aftersunset tonight, I think you'll

Hello Guys, Rob's buddy Saul Chernos (of Toronto, Ontario) is having fun with his 7.5"loopstick PL-380 at Burnt River, Ontario (pasted below). With the negativeinfluences of Rob and me combined,

Rob, Have you targeted 1640 KDIA in Vallejo, CA? There are only 4 other stations scattered throughout the US and KDIA is the only one putting out 10kW at night. 73 Gil

Hello All, For those 7 DXers who have already received the 7.5" AM plug-in loopsticksfor the Tecsun PL-360 model (and for the 18 who will), those interested in LWbeacon reception should be aware

And, part of the reason we don't hear them so well on the west coast is perhaps that they transmit towards us over land, quite dusty land, whereas the initial stages of the path to Cape Cod et al is
