Hi Ryan, This is great to know. Thanks for letting us know that the 1162/46 Litz can indeed by bought by the foot from the Mkmak222 seller. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA ---In ultralightdx@...

Hi Rob, That's a shame that you were so close, and yet couldn't attend the get-together. As you know, the weather was superb, and it would have been excellent if you could have joined us for the fun i

This past Sunday, Sept. 7th was a sunny and warm day in the Seattle area, with just a hint of fall in the air. The afternoon was all the more enjoyable for me as five other DXers came by my home for a

Hi Phil, In the discussion about small receivers, I saw your comment about needing a broadcast band filter. I have used the Kiwa BCB filter (both regular & premium models) before, as well as custom ma

This is the best review of the PL-660 that I've come across: http://radiojayallen.com/ tecsun-pl-660/ Jay's reviews are typically very thorough. In my opinion the Synch-AM mode on the PL-660 is fairly

This evening I was fascinated to see designs on a Russian antenna experimenters forum from the year 2006 onwards that appear very similar to what we've been calling the Ferrite Sleeve Loop (FSL) anten

Hi Gary, Your 7.5" PL-380 loopstick article is superbly detailed and clear. Hopefully it will inspire even the "DIY-challenged" Ultralight enthusiasts to give it a try. If the Fine Tuning's "Proceedin

On the subject of databases for DX purposes, back in 2000 some of us West Coast DXers started using a simple but very useful "flat file" database called B-Log. It was written by Tom Lackamp, AB9B. Amo

Hi Gary, After listening to your recordings from the Cape Perpetua cliff, I was left shaking my head in amazement. As you know, I was DXing at the very same spot one morning during the "Deja-Vu" Yacha

Hi Dan, Greetings from another FT/NU/OMDXC'er and Proceedings dude! Like Rob, I figured it was you, especially after reading the mention of Swami Beach. I'm fortunate to live in the same town as ULR g

Even a waste-of-money ULR can hear great DX if you are in the right location; this is the same Sony radio that Allen Willie uses for his amazing catches across the Atlantic.

My Puyallup DXing pal Gary is always building "bigger is better" versions of his loop antennas. I think he outdid himself this time! An Ebay seller is offering an exclusive photo taken during the cons

Rick, The muRata filter used in the ICOM "PCR" radios is a pin type, and the form factor is a small black rectangle. These fit reasonably well on the M37V's (and presumably "W" model) PCB. You may nee

Hi Rick, Is the filter you are referring to from the 8dwa seller in Poland the Murata CFWLA450KJFA? (Old part #CFWS450IT?) In the chart shown in his auctions, this is the narrowest 450 kHz filter avai

When I spent a week on the island of Rarotonga in 1993, SW & MW reception was sadly very poor the entire time. I had hoped to snag Niue which is about 650 mi. distant, but not even a peep out of it. I

Hi Gary, "Day Use Only"... that's not what I wanted to hear! Well, perhaps if I go there at the first hint of daylight, I can claim that early dawn is the start of a new day I agree with you that days

Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing your video. Great stuff! It was great to see Norm with you too; he and I had some nice correspondence a few years ago when I sold him an Eton E1oo, modified with a Murata f

Thanks for the very interesting report, Gary! Is your ocean cliff the access drive to the Cape Perpetua Lighthouse as we speculated before hand? A mile marker number or GPS coordinates of where you DX

Hi Gary, You have a delightful and accurate way of describing the excitement of DU DXing! Besides the potential for reception of Australia and New Zealand, summer time DXing from the Washington and Or

Oops... maybe this is the DT-200VX? I'm not too familiar with this Sangean series. In any event I'd still like to know what mods this has inside, making the radio suitable for ghost detection :^) Guy
