Hi Again Todd, <<< Recently an Australian DXer constructed a 135 mm diameter MW FSL using forty one Jaycar LF1010 (9 x 100 mm) ferrite rods. These rods are more affordable than anything else

Because it was sandwiched in between major Ultralight "Frequent Flyer" DXpeditions to Hong Kong and Kauai last year, my own results from the August 2019 Rockwork Cliff DXpedition have never been

Thanks Gary. The FSL is very easy to master on radios like the 2010, 803A, 880 etc and similar. The later DSP chip radios like the Skywave etc requires some skill to hear the "peak" as they are quite

Thank you for taking the time to produce this training course for the use of FSL’s. Very helpful! One question I have that would only apply to DSP ultralights like the CC Skywave. Does the effect

For the benefit of Todd, Paul, Chris or any other Oz (or worldwide) DXers who wish to try out a compact FSL antenna to track down exciting DX, a video showing detailed the tuning procedures for the

Hi Keith (and Marc), The original SRF-59 alignment instructions to the Ultralight group (in early 2008) are posted at http://www.hard-core-dx.com/archive/irca/msg43730.html Gary

Gary, Sometime ago, probably in the old ultralight group, I think you posted some detailed instructions for alignment of the SRF-59 for better dial accuracy and better performance. I know you've

Hi Todd, Sorry for the delayed response. Steve's detailed information is of course very accurate and helpful, and I appreciate him stepping in to comment. We have been experimental partners for over

Some updated information was kindly supplied by Steve Ratzlaff. The current batch of available Russian ferrite rods are 400 permeability. But the desired permeability for MW is ~ 125. Fortunately,

Hi Gary, and All. Recently an Australian DXer constructed a 135 mm diameter MW FSL using forty one Jaycar LF1010 (9 x 100 mm) ferrite rods. These rods are more affordable than anything else available

Thanks Gary. Excellent information. For domestic MW fans like myself, the Traveler III is looking good. -- Bob Richardson

Thanks Gary. I happened across your excellent discussion of ultralights a few weeks back. Reading again just now, I might have to rethink the Tecsun only agenda. Or have some fun finding an original

I had a pair of binoculars that went the same way. I rubbed the sticky plastic with Armoural, a car interior treatment, and that did the trick. Steve

Thanks for the input. I like the antenna jack on the PL-310. But a simple induction loop would do the same. Non recessed tuning knob sounds good too. -- Bob Richardson

Thanks Gary, that's good to know for the future (not that I am planning to do any travelling for a while, due to COVID). j

It seems I have made a great error. It was not my PL-600 but my venerable RS DX-440 which has the rubbery push buttons.that developed the gummy decomposition. I don't know if there is a membrane under
