Re: MASSIVE Power - A little FM DX'ing

Re: 864 kHz
Hi Mark
Yea, it doesn’t get much use now I have to admit!
Well I ordered another AN-200 today, and also, just for fun, a Youloop passive. For £24 from Amazon I thought it was worth a try. Watch

Drifter,
Looks like you're part of the ever growing list of v115 haters!

Re: Anybody get a new radio recently?
Choosing my next radio has been embarrassingly difficult for me. As I understand the UL guidelines, the radio should be less than $100 and less than 20 cubic inches. My radio now is a Tecsun

Hi Martin,
I guess it's just my first exposure to a station with this much power! :)
Your location sounds pretty "powerful" too!

Re: 864 kHz
Hi Mark
That’s very informative, thanks. It would appear you’re having more luck with your V-115 than I did, but on the up side, it was the radio that got me started! Mine wasn’t the Retekess,

Re: MASSIVE Power - A little FM DX'ing
What's so exceptional about that? At my location there are five 100 kW transmitters on the same mast, and across the border in Germany there are five 80 kW on one mast.

Hi Drifter,
I'm using a Tecsun AN 200 loop. I've only tried tuning into 864 with the Radiwow R-108 and Retekess V115 ultralights' so far, both with great results.
Radio Riyadh is also a great DX from

Ultralight Radio DXing Go Bag - March 2022
Over the past few months I have been looking at improving the way I carry my ultralight DXing kit. I started a new job in September which sees me more office bound at our CBD office and also working

Thanks for that, it gives me something else to look for. As a matter of interest which antenna and receiver do you use?
