Truer words ... For a given AM/FM receiver, there are, through a typical year, many more AM broadcast DX targets than there are FM broadcast DX targets. You may find AM DXing more fun because there ar

I would because I'm just "that way". My amateur logging software (the DXLab Suite by AA6YQ) allows multiple "myQTHID" settings so I've done that. Now, granted, there are usually several hundred km bet

Thanks - me too! I was going to say "some are probably out of reach" and while that is probably true for AK and HI stations, I did recently log WBZ-1030 in Boston and I never imagined I'd log them fro

Lol! I had the same idea! Used the Mesa Mike list (http://mesamike.org/radio/cdbs/amdb.mvc ). This is just the top of the list. Green means I've logged it here in Oklahoma (EM15if).

Which cells, of the type used in a portable radio, contain sulfuric acid?

I've actually made some progress. The IsoPoles are back up and in service (and then the Icom dual-band radio I used with them died ... but I had another). And I took the PL-606 apart (I still need to

In a device or out of a device?

Guess that eliminates us radio hobbyists ... :-D

I knew that! :-D I just like the size of these things. I see "20 cu in" ... I thought I remember that getting updated a while back? And yes, lots of radio water under the bridge in the last decade - t

Someone put together a list of receivers that meet the incredibly strict international Ultralight standards ... Where is that list? I feel like I might need a new radio to supplement or possibly repla

I use NiMH cells (Eneloop) exclusively. If I *had* to get non-rechargeable (because I forgot to bring extra NiMHs!) I would only get alkaline cells. I'm surprised that carbon-zinc cells are still sold

Who knew there was a fan site for Eneloops? Not me. https://eneloop101.com/batteries/complete-lineup/ No idea what "generation" mine are old enough to be Sanyo branded (Panasonic took a controlling in
