Hello Everett, Thanks for the reply. I intended to use my FSL for both MW and LW, so I was hoping for both maximum sensitivity and wide frequency range. I might try some winding experiments using

Guys, today tried out the newly constructed 3" FSL for daytime AM Dxing and had some good results from my home base of Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. 1) Station WNAX (5000 watts) - 570 kHz in Yankton

Hi Cam, I am not sure if you are if you are wanting to operate on one band, or dual bands? If you are just wanting one band, MW, then stick with all 4 coils wound in the same direction for a Polydroff

Hello Gang, I just finished all the pre-wiring stages of my new FSL. It will give about a 7 inch diameter coil and comprises of 3 rows of 47 each 100 mm ferrite rods for a total of length of 300 mm

Hello David, <<< Just to add that I had a surprise visit from this station on 28 February 2016 at 22:31 UTC here in Aberdeen, Scotland. I have been testing my new SANGEAN DT-250 and I was sitting

I wonder if the Atlantic to your east helped the signals from Oregon? I used to DX to the north by setting up on the south side of a lake. I never thought to try and see if the lake were 'behind' me,

It was a pretty wild morning for Asian signals, with the low band sounding like something straight out of October. The usual regulars on 594, 693, 747, 828 and 972 all managed good strength at times,

Hello farmerik Yes I heard the Oregon station on both the ICOM R-75 as well as the Ultralight machine 73 Allen Willie

Hi Mark, Thanks for your comments, and analysis of the challenge in reproducing acceptable audio with high-Q tuned circuits. Actually the new, hard-wired FSL antennas have provided much better DX

The attached photo is from the predawn reception of 1575-VOA (Ban Phachi, Thailand) on the "barefoot" 3 inch FSL Tecsun PL-380 Ultralight here in Puyallup, WA, USA this morning. The lady is speaking

I am REALLY impressed by your logging OREGON from far eastern Canada! Was that barefoot too? - FARMERIK

Nice! 😊 Thank you Allen for the DX reports. 73's Thank you and best regards, Paul Juarez Sent from my HP Slate 7 Extreme Tablet On Mar 3, 2016 1:23 PM, "vo1_001_swl@... [ultralightdx]"

Hello To All, It's been a good week here in the North Atlantic with 4 new additions to the Ultralight radio logbook including Oregon for USA State # 43 heard on Ultralight radio. 1350 khz - WEZS

I spent a lot of time looking into this and my conclusion is it may well be worth running a BOG as short as 100 to 250 feet for MW to get a low noise antenna. That is very different than what I found

It was another productive morning for Asian signals, with the Japanese big guns on 594, 693, 747 and 828 once again managing very good signals in and out from 1400-1445. In addition there was a fair

Hey Gary; First, compliments on your continued testing and "how to's" for FSL's. I continue to follow along, in part to enjoy your excellent work! Regarding audio frequency response w/ the same type

<<< One more question (yeah, right, surely this can't be the last :-) ): For any given diameter and/or ferrite bar length, how do you know how many turns of the 250/46 Litz wire to use? >>> Hi
