I bought this radio, as the antenna socket works on MW and LW, unusual for a Silabs DSP chip equipped portable. Just using the included plug-in antenna in this

Thanks Will, <<< I wouldn't 100% rule out 6DL and I was actually going to suggest that as a 'differential diagnosis'. The national weather at the start of your clip makes 6DL a possibility because

Hi Gary, No problems- I enjoy helping others identify their DX signals. I wouldn't 100% rule out 6DL and I was actually going to suggest that as a 'differential diagnosis'. The national weather at

Hi Will, Thanks very much for listening to the 531 recording, and for your assessment (which are greatly appreciated). It would seem that the overall evidence would indicate 4KZ for this signal, and

Hi Gary, The weather report and its presenter sounds much like the very detailed reports given on 4KZ. I could only conclusively identify 'showers and thunderstorms' and 'SE winds', a common forecast

Looks like this guy has found a ton of them: https://www.ebay.com/usr/fixit-ez I emailed him asking for recommendations and he was helpful.

Thank you for your reply Dean. Very interesting about the flux concentration. Keep at it. Looking forward to seeing what you find. Bill

Asian propagation is obviously enhanced in Hawaii-- not to mention DU propagation, South American propagation and that from many other areas. The "big gun" blasters are different from the Japanese and

Thanks Gary : BTW i don't feel like anyone was giving me grief about these new loop's ,And honestly my goal was just to see if there was any advantage to the basket weave design that I had been

Basically the same as the G Maynard "Spiral Loop with Q Multiplier" from the 1980's, with ferrites added. :^) His design was balanced, with a centre tap half way up the windings which went to the

Hello Dean (and Bill), Thanks for your interesting experimental contribution, Dean, which certainly breaks new ground in FSL antenna design. As a veteran of multiple FSL design controversies after

Hi : Sry i cant be more help here ? The number of winding's will depend on the value of capacitor you use and what Frequencies it will tune. Dean W.

Hi Bill; Nope the nulls are very sharp, in fact much sharper than my regularly wound FSL's . as far as a distorted pattern I haven't seen that . These loops have a figure -of -eight pattern ,gain is

Hi Mike If I recall correctly the ferrites used for EMI suppression on data cables are designed to be lossy. In otherwords the RF energy travelling along the cable should turn to heat in the

Hi takane2, Your ICF-S14 indeed looks like ultralight size. To me it looks about the size of my Sony ICF S10 MK2. Welcome to the group. Happy DXing! Bill Arizona

How many feet of litz wire did it take to wind this antenna? How many times around the form did you wind? Thank you!

Shoot, I meant ICF-S14 not SRF. Sorry I got the model numbers mixed up with the Sonys.

Hello, I just joined this group. I don't think I have anything that qualifies as ultralight yet. I have a Grundig FR-200, Grundig G4000A(the last of the YB400 models) and a unbranded 70s era Japanese

People keep upgrading their PC monitors, and a lot of monitor cables are being thrown away. First VGA, and now DVI. Many of them have EMI suppression ferrite cores of various sizes. They come
