Re Degen de17 some feedback.

First I Wendy am in England living in Maldon Essex so that answers that question- re Sony 7600 model series, I had a 7600D and loved it, re Grundig I had a Sat 500 and sold it like a fool I would

Simple, Cheap and Practical FSL Antennas (with Prices < $100)

Hello All, As most DXers are aware, about a year ago Graham Maynard drew our attention to a new, ferrite-based portable antenna that provided high inductive coupling gain for portable radios. These

Hey Rob, 359-YQZ in Quesnel, British Columbia?? How dare you log one of my semi-local pests?? :-) Seriously, I couldn't be happier with your Longwave DXing success! After dealing with the reality of

Re: New station 1/10/12

Hi Richard, Congratulations on logging KGMY-1450 for Ultralight #934 (barefoot #922). Your patience (and Rob's, and Kirk's) in digging out the weak ones is amazing, and something that I'm totally

Re: Must it be Chinese plus silicon lab's chip

I bought a new Sat 700 back then too. It was made in Portugal at a Grundig factory set up there. I think it was about the last model which had anything to do with Grundig of Germany sold in the USA.

Re: Must it be Chinese plus silicon lab's chip

I purchased an RDS capable Grundig Satellit 700 in the early 1990's. At the time there were no stations sending RDS data. Now, at least in my area, most of the metropolitian market FM stations have

Re: Must it be Chinese plus silicon lab's chip

I beg to differ that RDS is the problem. RDS is used more in Europe than here and has been for a long time. The non-DX'ing public who wants RDS doesn't want it to determine what station they're

Re: New station 1/10/12

Rob: I think it's sheer luck. So far in 2012 I've managed to add 23 stations to my log. Many being previously unheard stations from within my region. The count would be higher if I'd listen with

Re: Must it be Chinese plus silicon lab's chip

Part of the specs for an ULR is a price and size limit, so none are likely to be super high quality, and have AM FM SW and LW coverage. I think members here like to find the best radios or the best

Re: No responce to posting 17756!

Some reasons for what appears to be a contradiction to you: There are many different Chinese-made radios. Some models are better than others. Some have inconsistent quality control such that one

I was hoping!!!!!!! for some comment to my posting 17756 seems your all very happy with your made in china radios, so why are you finding faults. Wendy.

Re: Just starting

The receiving power of Gary's 7.5" Loopstick continues to amaze. I have Gary's Medium Wave Designed "D" 7.5" Loopstick which I wound with 67 turns of 100/44 litz wire @ 550 uH inductance

New station 1/10/12

I heard another new station before sunset on my SRF-T615. KRGE 1290, Weslaco TX, "Radio Vida" was heard at 2306 UTC - station #933 (barefoot #921). I'm surprised I hadn't logged the station before

Re: Just starting

Hi Steve, Well, I'm sure glad that your PL-360's 7.5" loopstick is tracking them down! I was hoping that the antenna would get a nice AM-DXing workout, and it appears that my hopes have been
