<<< Hi Gary, I'm poking at you! You have the smaller FSL's to use in a comparison test. The crystal radio guys love this material because of the high Q's they get with it. Maybe mkmak222 would give yo

Hi Max, <<< I haven't seen your document before, very interesting, same area same performance, this makes everything much easier. I have read that the length of the rod should not exceed too much the

<<< Also a question for FSL designers. Has any particular ratio of diameter to ferrite length stood out as being better, and in what way is it better. For example how might a 12 inch diameter FSL with

Hi Todd, <<< Have you ever used a Tecsun PL-380's digital signal strength to determine the lowest ambient RF noise sweet spot, either in the home backyard, or when listening away from home? >>> No, to

<<< Gary- In your experiments, have you tried tuning a FSL with just a small winding on it tuned by the chip in a DSP radio? That should save a lot of Litz wire, and allow room for the highest count L

Thanks Craig, <<< I am not anticipating any issues, so my trip to Rockworks in August is on. I have reservations at the place you and Nick were staying at. Good thing! The place I stayed at last year

Hello Art, <<< Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope I can do that one day. I would settle for an excursion on the Oregon Coast later this year with my almost Ultralght and my MilkCrate Box-Loop.

<<< Has anyone succesfully ”converted” the FSL-antenna to a broadband antenna for SDR receivers like Perseus? Is this possible? /kzr63g >>> Hello Kzr63g, There have been multiple experiments to design

Hi Craig, Thanks for your comments on the Poipu, Hawaii DXpedition! Of course your Princeville trip in April of 2017 (with your excellent Asian results) was the motivation for me to consider Kauai in

Hi Nick, <<< You hadn't made a quick trip to Hawaii this morning had you Gary? >>> Well, there's no trip to Hawaii until November, Nick (at which time we may possibly have a quorum of TP-DXers, if the

In a continuing effort to shrink the FSL antenna down to the smallest effective size, this new-design 3" Bar FSL model manages to track down an S9 signal from the Korean big gun 972-HLCA in the predaw

<<< If I go to a much higher count Litz such as 1168/46 will that make a significant difference? - FARMERIK >>> No, but your coil will end up being larger in size, and trickier to solder into crammed

<<< Planning to wind a new coil set for my ferrite stack to use with PL-360 series radios. What is the highest uH which works well for the DSP chip to tune MW? - FARMERIK >>> Richard, The target induc

Thanks Todd, <<< Going By Max's Italy reports, and Gary's Hawaii reports, the high power Chinese transmitters get out well to the east and west. Circa 5000 to 6000 miles is commonly achieved from vari

Hello Mikek, <<< OK guys before I and others start misposting subjects to the wrong group, tell me if i have this right. We have The Ultralight DX group, The Ultralight experimenters Group and is ther

What was it like for a west coast TP-DXer to suddenly escape all of the North American pest stations, and find himself in a dream location far out into the Pacific-- with Asian propagation wide open f

Bill, Thanks for your offer of paying the $10/ mo. fee for a Groups.io "Premium" group status, but that is no longer necessary after the setup of "UltralightExperimenters," our related group for posti

Thanks Phil, This sounds like the perfect solution. A new, related group has created for the storage of new photos and files, and members may join the group at the following link https://groups.io/g/U

As anyone who tries to upload a new file to our new Groups.io site will immediately discover, the combined total of 838 MB of photos and 164 MB of files transferred from the Yahoo site has exceeded th

Thanks Michael and Paul, Thanks for your comments. All-out Ultralight transoceanic DXing is a weird sport, which has made huge gains recently because of the development of compact FSL antennas that ca
