Hi Ryan, <<< I just finished building Gary's 3" FSL PL-380 and noticed when I hook up the FSL antenna to AM1 and AM2, the shortwave reception takes a nosedive. The shortwave reception is also

I use a 500 foot unterminated Beverage to hear European LW broadcasts. It points ENE, which I think heads more toward Northern Europe, certainly not toward France. I am about 60 miles inland from

Hello, I am new to Ultralight DX,ing and would like some advice on the best chances for receiving LW DX stations from my location in Buffalo, NY. I've seen some of the logs with reception of European

Sadly, Keith, the chances for Asia are practically zip. Radio Rossii had several longwave broadcast stations in the eastern part of Russia that were frequently audible on our left coast, but these

Any special antenna used on the portables that allow such distance reception on LW?

As you may remember, I am not up to modifying these tiny radios myself so I use external antennas on the PL-360 and the similar format GP5/SSB. I believe they use different DSP chips, and of course

Being fully aware that many DXers are not keen on DXing with a portable having an antenna weighing more than the radio itself, I did some experimentation on creating the lightest (and cheapest)

It would be fun to hear some broadcast stations on LW. From my area, I only hear nav beacons and images of MW stations. There supposedly are LW broadcast stations from Russia and Mongolia that are

I found this on Time Traveller dated October 2015. Tony in NZ

What frequency do you hear Ireland on? I was never able to hear it on the listed frequency from North East USA, I think around 250 KHz? Maybe it is lower power than domestic BBC on 198 or directional

Let us hope you are right! Could you furnish links and sources, please ! In Western Europe, we still have BBC, Ireland and France on LW. Given propagation properties, LW has a lot to offer,

From here in the North East USA, Long Wave was very good last night. In the lower part from 152-198 KHz I got a listen able station on every 9 KHz step. For some reason above 200 the NDB's were much

Longwave is alive and well in the US and Canada in the form of navigational beacons. While there are fewer than there were a decade or more ago, there are still a good number of them, particularly in

As this spans almost all LW band capable receivers... RE: LW stations vanishing... There is a concerted, high-quality effort to test LW (long-wave) band area...presume to be 90 kHz through 490 kHz

Good Job John!!!! Glad to hear you are still hitting the ULR Dials!! Good luck in the Home Stretch on your way to # 1,000…… 73…ROB VA3SW Robert S. Ross London, Ontario

Hi, everyone, I haven't checked in that much lately but I am still at the dials. I just logged my 950th ULR log: 1600 WTZQ, Hendersonville NC, 2/11 1800 Local, good TOH call ID, into local ads.

For those who have access to the scarce 100mm x 20mm x 3mm ferrite bars and who have built (or plan to build) the original 3" Bar FSL Tecsun PL-380 model (for which the construction article is posted

Quite good, thanks for sharing it! Tom -- Gmail

For those interested, Hiroyuki Okamura of Yokosuka, Japan has posted a YouTube video of his reception of 850-KICY (Nome, Alaska) on his 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave model at home. Congratulations,
