Hi Jerry, Thanks for your question about 7.5" loopstick coil inductances. The 554 uh loopstick coil inductance called for in the "Supercharging" article is a value which will give excellent

Thanks Kirk...I was surprised to hear the Station on 1290 Khz under my Local. I remember many years ago I was able to null this local using a 4 Foot Box Loop..and log a few Stations under them,

Greetings To All, Propagation has been decent the past few evenings as we were able to log a few new ones overall and added a good number as well to the Hope ledger. Here are just a few of what we

Hello All, Like Steve, I had decent reception of 5 Radio Rossii Longwave TP's this morning (153, 180, 189, 234 and 279 kHz), plus low-level female vocal audio on 209 kHz around 1227 UTC. After

Rob, Congratulations on the THREE new stations! I'll bet hearing the new sta under your lcl was a hoot! Wishing you many more good DX-filled sessions, Kirk Allen Ponca City, OK

Hi all: While staying up way too late last night working on a backpack version of an FSL, I was tuning up the prototype and tried out 600 khz, which can be almost empty here since the Vancouver, BC

Hi Guys: Well...after about a week's drought and nothing new heard...the AM Band came to life early this morning with 3 New Stations logged for the ULR LOG!! One of these stations was heard UNDER my

Hello All, The 5 Radio Rossii Longwave TP's were back with good strength, but 164 and 209 kHz both stayed at threshold audio again. On medium wave it was a good morning here for Asiatic TP's in

Hello All, Conditions to Alaska were fairly decent this morning, finally allowing the ID of 277-ACE in Homer (a new Ultralight NDB here). Although the TWEB broadcast had been heard on this frequency

Hi Gregory, I would be happy to join you, except that I'm on the wrong coast! For those of you in landlocked, DX-deprived locations around the Atlantic coast states, an ocean beach DXpedition is the

I happen to own a DE 205 which is unimpressive. In fact, I think it is on our list of "turkeys" somewhere. This looks like a 205 with a few more features. -- Neil Goldstein
