Hello all: Received the Tecsun PL-310 yesterday putting me at three ultralights. Interesting the English manual cover says PL-310, but the insides is all about the PL-380. 540 WAUK Jackson WI

Hi Stephen, Thanks for your comments, and I'll try to answer your questions one by one. "I don't really care much about any longwave boost (in fact I don't think I even have anything close to me

John, Very well put. I am the one who asked the loop winding question, and I will certainly post my results when I am finished. After a long hiatus from MW listening, I have gotten back into it over

Hi gpsblake, The G6 is an ultralight, but if you're shopping for a radio for MW DXing, I wouldn't recommend it. I have one and rarely use it. There are better options, such as the G8/PL300wt, which

Not exactly the Playboy Channel, but there's lot to like about 1160 kHz. John Bryant encouraged me to report loggings and apply for awards, so I took the PL-380 out of the breadbox last night and

Ok... lol... seems that this thread kinda got a bit disorganized :) so my "replies" may be likewise a bit out of order. So apparently you can use a ceramic tile saw to cut a ferrite rod. Would it

Thanks John but I can`t send anything via this medium or the pointer to email!! could you send me your email addy please?? Cheers. Lee.
