Hello Mark, Thank you for your proposal to form an Ultralight class that includes SSB. Of course, we certainly don't wish to limit you (or anyone else) in enjoying Ultralight radio DXing as you see

I propose an ultralight class that INCLUDES SSB. WHY? As someone who USES SSB and would like to see it on ALL radios with SW bands. SSB has uses on MW as well. A group that is LOOKING for low-end

I echo Keith's comments: for MW and SW, the Tecsuns are better, both in terms of reception quality and ergonomics. The Tecsun PL-606 has the best FM sound (via headphones) if you are interested in

Welcome, Patrice. I agree about the D96L--I have one and it's a good general-purpose receiver-excellent on FM-but not especially good for MW or SW due to background noise and interference. 73,

Also the D96L is not a good buy acc to this anyway...I think you would be far better off with the excellent Tecsun 310 / 390 http://ukradio.info/Kchibo/ On 5 August 2011 16:21, patrice privat

Just about FIP... for years in Brighton there has been an unofficial relay of FIP on 91 Mhz. I think the one who set it up unfortunately got killed in a car crash in Spain though. Ofcom appear to turn

Thanx very much for the nice welcome ! Well,fortunately FIP is still available on 105.1 FM from Paris and reception is good here in Mono. Well, I'm contemplating buying a D96L at around 67 USD on the

Bonjour Patrice: Bienvenue to the UltralightDX Group. It's good to hear from you way over there. What can be heard on a "barefoot" radio in other parts of the world is always very interesting to

Hello All, Hawaiian LLD-353 finally made a return appearance on the PL-380 (plus 6.5" longwave FSL) here around 1205 in the landlocked location of Puyallup, WA, after an absence of a few months. As

Greetings! Two more new stations were added to the OK logbook this morning around lcl SR. Logged this first sta on the E-100 and the 2nd one on the T-615, both w/ a SAT. 1560, WCNW, Fairfield, OH,

Thanks for the new jpgs, Jerry. The added capacity obviously takes you down into the longwave range. A "bigger" winding and less capacity would theoretically be marginally better. But it is

Hiya Just discovered your group today, and it sure smells like fun. But the only receiver I have that could be deemed an "ultralight" is a 1992 Panasonic RFB45, but it has SSB, so you would probably

Michael in UK, and Paul S, as per your great advice I have installed a new Large Capacitor in the Longwave Trap off my 80 ft Longwire Antenna and had some great success with pulling in more long

Hello All, For those interested in the full (7-page) transoceanic DXing report of the new 8" medium wave Ferrite Sleeve Loop antenna's performance during last month's ocean beach DXpedition to

What used to be known as 3YW (RNZ National's tx on 1458 for Westport) is located at Cape Foulwind, as Tony will recall. TD

If this needs to continue elsewhere, I would much appreciate a link. I have limited facilities, but would like to explore SDR if it were feasible, so appreciate any practical input. Michael UK

Hi Jeff, A number of Perseus SDR owners have used Atom-powered netbooks successfully; it's a matter of configuring settings properly. I owned the first gen MSI Wind U100 to process IQ and listen to

Hello All, For those interested in the FSL antenna experimentation, a new close-up photo of the 8" model which provided all the July 2010 Oregon Beach MW DXpedition loggings has been uploaded to the

Hi Jerry, I wound a Litz wire coil at the center of the rod and adjusted the turns for as close to 500 uH as possible (the coil ended up 510 uH). Using 114/44 Litz (the size I had on hand), 48 turns
