At last, a new ULR NDB logging! LF conditions fair for awhile, static not too bad. Hit 280 finally. Steve NE Oregon PL-380 + 14" loop 248 QH, YT 1100 Miles

Hello GK, Welcome to the Ultralightdx group, and congratulations on receiving 18 states in Oklahoma City with your Radio Shack # 12-586. Oklahoma seems to be a great place for Ultralight DXing (with

Hi, looks like a very cool group with a lot of interesting and informative info!! I had no idea other people liked to dx with pocket radios, or ulr's. I bought a Radio Shack pocket am/fm no# 12-586 in

Hello To All Spent a few minutes at the dial last evening. There seemed to be a good Trans-Atlantic opening much later than usual. We will be moving to our new location about 70 miles from St.

Thanks Charly, I thought it might be something simple like that! I must sit down and patiently work through the manual :-)) The PL380 is an amazing little gem. I particularly like the direct

Hi Michael, -------------------------------------- From: Michael Subject: Re: [ultralightdx] Directly Connected FSL's (Mostly speaking of PL380) I'm assuming your

I anguished : PL380 OR a bunch of FSL ferrites ??? The PL380 won. I will keep feeding the piggy bank and may get ferrites later, if verified results warrant it. I am no less interested in

If in doubt, a "sacrificial" buffer-FET could presumably be interposed between the Si4734 and the external loop, which would then need to be manually tuned. But what would the varactor think

Hi Rick, Thanks for your comments about the Si4734 chip's survival skills. I'm sure that my PL-380 would have been "fried" by now if the directly-connected FSL was really hazardous, since I've tuned

Hi Gary, I've been directly connecting antennas to my Si4734 based ULRs for months with no problems. This includes several types of loops, and many experimental ferrite bar antennas. By installing

I appreciate all the efforts made to build and test practical versions of the FSL antennas for the ULR's. Thanks! -FARMERIK

Hello, I know of a Muse that contained the silabs chip(M088R), but this one looks like a Sangean: http://www.electrodepot.fr/son/radios-radios-reveil/radios/radio-muse-m-087r-pll.html I remember

Hello Nick, Great job on logging Ultralight NDB #103, and your new distance record with TUT-403. With the Northern Hemisphere changing into our spring propagation, it's becoming very tough for us to

Ultralight NDB #103 and a new distance record:TUT-403 from American Samoa 29MAR2011 11:49GMT TUT 403KHz 4,393 Km. Good to very good copy, clear night,17C. PL-380 with 6" ferrite antenna.

Found two of these in the last 2 hours. First one was a weak call of "WACK Newark". Channel rather crowded as usual... this one made it at 2345 EDT 3/28/11. FCC says 500 Watts nighttime at a distance

Hello All, Despite warnings to the contrary, I decided to experiment with a Ferrite Sleeve Loop antenna directly connected to the PL-380 model, replacing the internal stock loopstick. The idea of

I won't get into a long list, but just about every frequency in the broadcast LW band has somebody on it this evening here in Chesapeake, VA. I am using a Tecsun PL-310 with a LW crate loop I just

Hi, list! For anybody who might be interested I've added a short movie of my first indoor-test to my Flickr-account : http://www.flickr.com/photos/61090953@N06/sets/72157626359000212/ 73s Joachim
