I guess to consider an ultraligh must tiny and cheap and must primery MW ,FM radios,am i right?

Signal Coupling Reach: Michael, and others, from detailed testing these last few days of the Coupling Trap you designed for the Longwire Antenna I have found that I can hold both my G3 and PL 380

Hi! I dont think any of these 2 receivers are considered to be in the Ultralight category. But if so, the Tecsun PL660 is a more of a chance, cuz i beleive its much smaller than the Grundig s350dl.

Farmerik, if only Scottie could beam me up and over, I would love to work with you - before I grow too old... Michael UK

I heartily agree about the rewards of DIY, but am no longer young and able to do either heavy or fine work. I have already done a huge amount of DIY, and truly miss it. Your excellent summary

I use a Stormwise 19" home brew--construction details available in the ultralight files section or by email request. Advantages: As easy to transport as a kiddie baseball bat Very sharp Q and

Greetings, The local hams are reporting amazing success with this antenna on LF and MF. I am in a quiet location with a long high wire and a good earth, but I have very poor results compared with

The various external ferrites for uldx receivers described on this site are by far the best compact solution. The varactor automatic tuning capacitor in the DSP chip and the tuning capacitor of an

Hello All, The one-week trip to the Oregon beach this month was an excellent opportunity to test the compact new Ferrite Sleeve Loop antennas (8" diameter MW and 6.5" diameter LW) in weak-signal

The SONY comes with an 'L' shaped base with the inductive coupler in it, which you lay your radio against for AM and LW. In the photo it may show only the back of the 'L'. There is a curved rubber pad

Thanks Farmerik, yes we had an old Short Wave radio many years ago, and like you said reception was as clear as a bell. I agree with you - I'd also like to find something Portable that can be

Thanks- I have the SONY fold up loop SW antenna for my ICF-7600G, and it works pretty well. I think it would be best in a building which blocked radio waves, because you can mount it in a window, and

Farmerik, here is a couple of recommendations from Passport 2004 & 2008: Sony AN-LP1 fold up Antenna, that was supplied with some Sony Portables, it was $90.00 US Funds then, and is mainly for Sony

I'll go along with Joe. I've had one of Roelof's mini-whips for about 5 years and they are excellent active antennas providing amazing results for their small size. They can be used as a stealth

Hello All, The last of the MP3 recordings from the recent Oregon Beach Ultralight DXpedition were uploaded this morning, and I came across a pretty unusual one. A rare combination of nearly ideal

I certainly would agree with Jay in endorsing the Quantum Loop. It is small, has nice adjustable gain and the head is easily rotated for directional reception. Top quality and well supported. I

OK, so what under $200 off the shelf AM & LW portable amplified radio antennas would you recommend? - FARMERIK

The AN-1 / 12 is not designed for longwire, BOG, loop etc. - and not cheap! It is basically a short vertical with preamp which can be located away from building shielding and local interference. An

Gentlemen- Look into the PA0RDT mini-whip. Roelof makes these one at a time and they are simply amazing for LW and MW. Good on SW, too. I've had mine for several years and as I recall, he was
