It was probably KVRA, Cockrell Hill TX (25 kW). They broadcast programs to the Asian community in Dallas. The station is often heard well in north central Oklahoma around sunrise/sunset. They identify

I recently join the group and thought an introduction might be in order. I'm retired a few years ago after working three decades for the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. Most of my listening t

In the past these little wide-band receivers have not been good at receiving medium wave signals. I owned one of these tiny ICOM receivers and it did everything they advertised, just not very well.

Because of painful arthritis in my thumbs I find it difficult to tune the Sony SRF-59 receiver. So, after reading John's report, I decided the Etón E100 might be the answer. First, I can't believe its

Most often it is around sunset and sunrise. Maybe the following site will help you, http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/daytime.html. Richard Allen.

I don't think I'll have any difficulty aligning the E100. I peeked inside and it's less daunting than the Grundig Satellit 500 I'm currently working on. Tecsun did a good job designing the little rece

Thanks John, that helps. Richard Allen, DXing since 1960.

I did an alignment on my E100. Following John and Gary's article, disassembly/assembly of the E100 was simple. Removing the wax and glue from the antenna in my example was much easier than I thought i

When I mentioned E100 sensitivity improved when the antenna was moved away from the receiver, I was referring to the ferrite rod not the whip. I had already dispensed with the whip. I'm sorry for any

I have a question or two on recording DX from a ULR. I realize the recorder has to share the receiver's audio output with the headphones. But how do you handle the impedance mismatch between the recei

Kevin & Brett: I discovered yesterday that I'd purchased an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder WS100 a couple of years ago to record meeting notes. Because it didn't do well I put in a drawer and forgot i

I checked out the Olympus WS100 recorder with a SRF-T615 and E100, and am not totally satisfied with the results. It seemed a normal listening volume overloaded the recorder a bit. While recording R.

A few days ago I discovered I could hear KFXY-1640 on my E100 at 730 kHz during the day when it's running 10 kW. Thus far I've not found another image. Richard Allen

I've owned a Toshiba RP-F11 since the 1980s, and it's a very good receiver. When manufactured it was probably the best receiver of its type, much better than the inferior, but better selling Sony 7600

Thanks for reporting KWHN-1650. The station had been off since early spring due to flood damage at the transmitter site. It's good to learn they've returned. I'll have to try to log them this evening

Interestingly I was also thinking about the possibility of using a BFO with an ULR this afternoon. I discovered an interesting article at www.crystalradio.net/crystalsets/bfo/Mike_Tuggle_BFO_Article.d

I finally opened the case of my Mini 300 to take a look at what's inside, but made no adjustments. My guess is alignment would similar to the E100. To disassemble, first remove three screws (two in th

Has anyone performed an alignment of a M37? If so, could you share with us how to do it? Because I have three of these little receivers, I decided to disassemble the least sensitive one. After removin

Thanks Kevin and Gary. I likewise tried, without success, to obtain a service manual. As common as these receivers are you would think it'd be easier. I feel the alignment process is fairly straight f
