Hi John, <<< So what I want opinions on is what is most likely to be best for MW DX (southerly DX and maybe even a chance at TP ideally)? Higher elevation with views of Denver metro area (and

Hello All, Like others have reported, it was very slim pickings for Asiatic TP signals this morning as only the big guns managed any audio. In comparison to yesterday signals seemed very anemic, and

My new 500 foot BOG, connected with a 10:1 balun to about 75 feet of buried co-ax, and then about 50 feet more co-ax near ground level and up through a second floor window has a great S/N ratio, but

Hello All, Fairly normal Asiatic conditions returned here this morning, and as a result, 738-Tahiti audio was long gone. The Japanese big guns were still down a little in strength, but the Korean big

The SI4734 chip is used in several Tecsun radios like PL-310, PL-380, PL-398. SI4735 has an additional feature: RDS decoding capability on FM. I have a Tecsun PL-398MP radio. While it does work

Hello KAZ, The auroral conditions seem to be just getting started here, but if they continue to pick up, 738-Tahiti and the other DU's may be pretty solid for you and Tim tomorrow morning (and maybe
