Hi, all, A few new ultralight logs over the last few days has pushed by total count to 696 stations, so it's time to really push hard for #700. Recent new logs include (on the E-100): April 16 930

Stephen, Please don't go cutting up the plastic in your PL-380. An antenna that gives a (claimed) 10 dB more gain will make your overload problems worse. Antenna gain simply is not a panacea.

Managed to bag one new XE station overnight. 1410, XEAS, Nuevo Laredo, TM, 0705-0730+ UTC, 4/18/10, playing mostly mellow nortena mx. Plenty of "Ke Buena" IDs between songs. Lcl ads also noted. //

Very interesting Gary, thanks. - FARMERIK

Hmm... sound interesting... so maybe we could fit a decent-sized ferrite inside there. I do share his concern about the internally generated noise, too, though. I wonder if it might be possible to

Ah... but one thing is I notice that my noise floor when I'm farther from the stations is 15dBu (the minimum it will display - I've seen stations at that level with a 15dB SNR sometimes). Am I

Hello All, Noted UK experimenter Graham Maynard has published an excellent PL-380modification article in the April edition of Medium Wave News (Europe'spremier MW hobbyist club bulletin). He details

Very hard to get WTIC well here, I think there antenna must point north. I get it better during the day well into VT. WHYN from Springfield MA is much clearer with far less power at my house. Right

Actually, Farmerik, WTIC is quite close to both you and me in different directions. Try tuning in 1090 or 1070 kHz... all you should get is a iBOC hurricane, with weak WBAL 1090 and CHOK on 1070, both

I thought it might be WWZN (already logged) but wasn't sure. They have a lot of brokered time on wkends. Brother Stairs (aka Brother Scare) is also heard on-channel. In other news WDEL 1150 kHz from

Farmerik, For nulling, I recommend starting with Jim K's hoop-loop design. I think that further experimentation may improve upon his balun transformer design, but clearly, Jim's already getting

Scott - I have the opposite conditions in my area [CT]. There are no nearby 50kW stations, but there are signals on almost every AM channel, and many with more than one on the same frequency. I am

Stephen, Thanks for posting your thorough band-scan data. It is very interesting and helpful. It is always possible to overload the front-end of any radio (except possibly a crystal set). So the

Rick, Congratulations on TWO new states!! I understand about getting "stuck". I've been stuck at 29 states for quite a while. 73, Kirk Allen Pasadena, TX

hi rick, so you copied salem oregon KPJC that runs 1000 watts day and 171 watts nighttime ????? from indiana ?? 1976 mi from MI. that has to be some kind of record. i find that hard to believe. what

Tim, thank you for the correction!

Hi Rick, Just a small correction - 600 WSNL would be Flint, MI. 600 WREC is in Memphis, TN. Tim C.

WWZN Boston recently started carrying Red Sox games in Spanish. The rest of the time they broadcast in English, a combination of progressive talk and sports. Jim Milford, Massachusets

Hello All, Asiatic conditions here this morning were similar to those reported byDennis, with several "big gun" TP's managing to produce audio, although not atbooming levels. The following were
