Jim, The Hoop Loop is the way to go. While signal strengths are comparable between the 7.5 Amidon rod and Hoop Loop, the Hoop seems to pickup less noise and provides symmetrical (and slightly

I think Mark is probably correct. I was using the untuned 4 foot loop, and it can cause images on some very sensitive radios, although it generally works very well on SW with the Royal 94. I have just

WOW! Talk about the tail wagging the dog! - FARMERIK

Hello Farmerik, Great timing! Your new PL-360 7.5" plug-in loopstick (the first of tenthat have been ordered by various DXers) has almost been completed, and shouldgo out within a couple of days.

I've recently completed a graft of an 18-inch long, 0.62" diameter Stormwise rod onto my Tecsun PL-380. The model number of the Stormwise ferrite rod is VFR18J. It is the longest available in this

Wow Guy, Some guys in the Ultralightdx group had the impression that I was prettyfanatical about transplanting large loopsticks into Ultralight radios, but afterviewing your Stormwise 18" loopstick

I had another idea... (although if the signal isn't consistent, this may not be it.) Is there a local religious station on 1440, 1450 or 1460? I believe that most radios, when faced with a very

My money is on a spur caused by a shortwave station mixing either with a harmonic of the receiver's local oscillator or with another shortwave station 540 or so kHz away from it. We all know that the

530 might be broadcasting. Turks&Caicos ?? One old Station Engineer told me they are playing around with a long wire antenna. Their antennas blew down in a hurricane. I think they had to order

That is a very clear explanation.-Thanks No similar programing around 1440-1460, only sports talk and political talk stations, but the Bible teaching religious station near 550 was not heard

Hmm... In that case... Until I find a ULR that better meets my needs, I use a defective (translation: tuning knob broken, can't hear 1290 KKDD San Bernardino, 1420 XEXX Tijuana or 1440 KDIF

"Maybe Gary's ferrite antennas for the '360 will be THAT directionaltoo." Hi Farmerik, They probably will, by initial indications. The 7.5" plug-inloopstick can null my most troublesome local

That's not hard to get here during the day. I couldn't find a detailed program schedule for Sunday evening at there website. I'll see what happens tonight. Thanks- FARMERIK

I would not ignore WLIE on 540. It is listed various places as 'Christian Spanish'. I do not spend time listening to it because tired of the constant 'spanish'. They broker their schedule to
