Noted around local midnight (EDT) / 0400 UTC on SRF-39FP: 1359 Spain - fairly loud, about equal to 1360 WDRC/WNJC. 1584 Ceuta - audio popping up once in a while if I nulled 1580 CKDO. Unfortunately on

On Cape Cod, Turks & Caicos 530 at 1400 miles is easy enough to hear on pure groundwave. Maybe not with a "stock" ultralight, but certainly on one with a super-sized ferrite rod, or if passively coupl

I too went for the E100 deal from Fry's (price a bit over $40). My house interior is so riddled with RF digi-hash that I couldn't really give it a fair sensitivity test yet. I'll have to take it outdo

I am willing to send my E100 out there to Gary for whatever alignments and antenna super-sizing experiments he may wish to try. Presumably I could get back a seriously-hotrodded ultralight DX machine

How is the Sony ICD-UX70 MP3 stereo recorder on batteries ? Also how is Kevin's Olympus recorder (model # ?) in this respect ? Short battery life has been a complaint with the Pogo Radio YourWay and E

FM DXers would certainly benefit from something equivalent to the spectrum-capturing receivers such as the Perseus and RFSpace SDR-IQ that are all the rage with serious AM broadcast band DXers. Of cou

There is no substitute in this hobby for being right at the seashore. Even though my home QTH is only 15 miles inland on some bearings, the difference in signal strengths versus what I notice at coast

In Oct. 1991 when I was on a business trip to Mountain View, CA - still some distance from the shore - I had no problem hearing Japan on 774 on a "barefoot" Sony ICF-2010 in my hotel room around local

Saudi Arabia on 1521 should be a slam-dunk. Of course it's easy up here in the Boston area but I actually heard it on a Sony '2010 during a business trip in Dec. 1986 from my room at the Residence Inn

Before I pull the trigger and order a Sangean DT-400w, I have one crucial question for the assembled multitude. Can the receiver be set to 9 kHz multiple AM channels as well as to 10 kHz spaced ones ?

In response to Richard's question, I'll throw out a few possibilities for Europe / Africa / Mideast that have been heard, at least on conventional radios, in the central US. Those that are separated 4

Sure, go for it ! Mark

Good trick getting Ukraine around France-1377. France-1377 was enormous here last night (along with UK-1215, Croatia- 1134, others) but no evidence of a second station on 1377. Do you have Tanzania on

On the evening of 8 OCT 2008, I did an after-work sunset period DX outing to the Granite Pier site (GC= 42.667 N / 70.621 W) in Rockport, MA. This is generally considered the best MW DXing location in

On 8 OCT 2008, I had UAE on both 1170 (Radio Sawa) and 1575 (Radio Farda) on the barefoot Eton E-100 at Granite Pier - Rockport, MA, USA. My calculations show the distance to these as 6650 miles or 10

I caught up on the later e-mails and found that greater than 7000 miles had indeed been done from the West Coast. Deep Africa would be the only likely target from this area that would be in a similar

KVNS and WTNI are both right on the Gulf of Mexico, so very high ground conductivity comes into play. Also, because these stations are quite southerly (along with some of the often-heard Florida stati
