Interesting. When I was a kid, CKGM was on 980 kHz and CBC's CBM was on 940 kHz and, unless I'm mistaken, CBF (Radio Canada, the French-language CBC) was on 690 kHz. This is all in Montreal, BTW. :-)

New FM station, 5-27-12
I may have posted my friend's map plot of his FM DXing. http://www.spegweb.com/radiotv/ He has logged 1000 stations, mostly from his car radio while at home or work or around town. Not an Ultralight,

Just to be clear.
Same here, though my collection is not as big (I have one ULR!) nor is my log as long (I won't even give my number :). I have only a passing interest in FSLs and certainly don't have the time to build

Hello from Miami Oklahoma
Ferrite Sleep Loss? :-) I don't have the time of inclination that you guys do to actually build one of these, but I'd sure like the option to buy one. Anyone considering building them for sale? Seems

PL-606 and LW
Pretty sure the power+MW is a toggle and after that, you can turn LW on by just hitting MW.

NO AC Adapter Included with Purchase of Tecsun PL 380?
Eggsactly. It also means that Tecsun doesn't have to worry about different wall warts for different markets or UL certification in the US. Lowers their shipping weight, too, which adds up when you sel

Logbooks? What does yours look like?
Or not - you can share Google Docs to your friends or the whole world. I use it for a lot of things, but not (yet?) for a ULR log.

When I listen, which hasn't been a lot lately :-( I do the paper-then-computer thing as well. So far, mine are just text files. with one file per day, e.g.: 530 - UNID - SS YL with DEEP echo 570 - KSN
