Hi Stephen, Thanks for your comments on the PL-360 experimentation. In answer to your questions, I do plan to post comparison RSSI and S/Nreadings between the stock and custom PL-360 plug-in

Jim: Congrats on WDHP ! I have heard it in N.C. and S.C. but not here yet.So it is one i need to try for here. 73 Carl DeWhitt Maryville ,Tn.

Jim, It's clear to me that you need to just purchase a second PL-380! Dedicate one to LW and the other to MW. They're already a fraction of the size of your antennas, so portability of one versus

Jim, On your transformers, are the primary and secondary separated or on top of one another? Separate should be better to maintain balance. I only went with the 0.375 cores because that's what I

Thanks, Scott. I did try that. On less-obnoxious stations it helps, but certain Cubans and locals still march right through. Even with a half-inch toroid in the space formerly occupied by the ferrite

Jim, Before "boxing up" your toroid, try just shielding the wires between the AMI pad on the circuit-board and the toroid. A small coax with ground on the shield and AMI on the center conductor may

Conditions improved quite a bit yesterday, but location played a role. On ABDX, Chris Black on Cape Cod reported hearing no TAs on his software-defined radio (it records the entire band for later

Thanks for the info. Carl

Grabbed 2 new ones for me last night. STILL stuck at the 18 state level, but I'm getting a new station here and there. :) 1130, WISN, Milwaukee, WI. They were pounding in pretty good for a while,

Carl, They are not terminated to ground at either end or at the radio. I use a 500' and 325' bogs running parallel. I also take my E1 or Palstar and phasing unit. For ULRs, I rely solely on a bog

Hi Carl, Thanks for your comments. This PL-360 plug-in loopstick experimentation is so much fun that I ordereda second unit from Anon-co today (by EMS shipment, only an extra $5), in orderto have

How do you keep the bogs out of the way of the beach walkers ? Also,what are the typical lengths of your bogs? Do you terminate them or leave them unterminated ? I might try the Gary Deacon method

Hi all. I took some time (unemployment therapy) over this week to find out what exactly the g8 sends to the si4734. I tapped the sen, sclk and sdio lines between the si4734 and the g8's cpu using a
