What does tcf stand for?

Thanks for sharing, great loggings.-- Paul - Moderator UltralightDX

I listened from 1148 until local sunrise at 1328, and TP reception was the best here thus far this year. 567 JOIK fair signal at times especially after 1230. 594 JOAK poor to fair. 702 unID het

I have used a TCF and a 2 ft air wound box loop (MTM Scientific) together and I had the most fun ever daytime DXing! I might be one of the people Jay mentioned. I sent him a recording of me phasing

I haven't tried this (and can't right now because most of my stuff is packed for an upcoming move), but a few people have written to me describing notable results using a Twin Coil antenna with a

Has anyone else had any luck or experience combing an FSL with a C.Crane's Twin Coil Ferrite antenna? I place the pickup (small bar) nearby the 3.5" FSL and find that I can get some notable results.

Miller report- Just as it arrived the crystal tuner got 20-30 stations at night on the West BOG which included WWVA-470 miles, WTAM-440 miles and WJR-565 miles. Audio is suburb, there is some fading

The NAB (formerly referred to as NARTB) equalization is very severe and only slightly different than the RIAA Phono eq...neither is suitable for a nominally "flat" input signal and will give a huge

Dear friends of this Group; I am really happy to be registered as a new member of "UltralightDX Group". I am a radio amateur with Call IK7JGI. For several decades, I have been engaged in radio

Thanks Jay Some of my tube amps have tape head inputs too. I can't remember what the NAB equalization is like for those. Perhaps you know. Most all with mag phono inputs have equalization choices to

If the output is too low for a Line level input I would try a Mic input rather than a Phono input as the phono;s RIAA equalization will give very unflat frequency response.

Thanks Paul. I saw your email before I saw your message here. I will use a microphone or phono input on a tube Hi-Fi amp made in the 1950's. I have a collection of them to try. It is mentioned in the

Hi Gary. I have listened to this file multiple times, as much as I try I am not able to give you a solid ID. 2XL has now moved to FM and this frequency has not been one that I have devoted much DXing

I have a couple of Ultralight radios which I have posted reviews

Miller made these pretty good in the day. More modern individual components would make it better using ceramic caps and tighter tolerances. For a start the manual suggests using a 15pF cap on top of
