Hello Peter, Thank you for your introduction, and let me join John in welcoming you to the growing worldwide Ultralight DX team. Your impressions of the Sony SRF-T615 were also noted during my 2008 Sh

To Paul Logan, Hello and welcome! You are absolutely right that I am helping you out with alignments-- your fully-aligned SRF-39FP and SRF-59 units went out today by USPS Priority Mail (about 7-10 bus

Hello Richard, Thanks for your comments, and the information on your SRF-59 inductive coupling with the PR-D5 and ICF-EX5. Your approach is one that's new to me, although booster bars (such as the exc

Hello Garry, Thanks for your comments on the SRF-39FP mega-antenna transplant, and welcome to the discussion. The crystal set group and the ultralight radio group seem to have a lot in common (interes

Hello Guys, The fanatical mega-loopstick experimentation with the SRF-39FP has reached a new level (perhaps along with the eccentricity of the experimentor). Using two 7" and one 6.25" ferrite bars ti

Garry and Guy, All of the mega-loopsticks (7", 14" and 21") have been constructed using an LCR meter to measure inductance only, to ensure that the recycled coils (mostly salvaged from the vintage lon

Hello Guys, Apparently not even the crunch-resistant CXA1129 chip can handle the mega-RF from a 20 inch loopstick. Working OK until the 1400 kHz trimmer was peaked, the huge RF onslaught finally did i

Hi Mark, Congratulations on your loggings of Spain-1359 and Ceuta-1584 on your stock SRF-39FP ultralight. I'm sure that it was challenging, trying to dodge the domestic QRM. That's probably why stock

Hello Peter, This is Gary DeBock, ferrite rod transplant enthusiast on the west coast of the USA. Welcome to the group site, and to the worldwide Ultralight DX Team. As you may have suspected, half-in

Hello Guys, Sorry about the earlier blank message-- I tried to forward my original IRCA list post to the Yahoo Ultralightdx group site, which obviously didn't work. For those not subscribing to the IR

Hi John and Others, Thanks to John for the detailed disassembly instructions for the Eton E100, in the dxer.ca Ultralight File area. These instructions would have proven useful, when alignments on two

Hello Guys, This was very surprising news, but it now seems a reality. The E100 was the best digital Ultralight I've ever tested for selectivity, and its sensitivity (after full alignment, which alway

Hello Guys, Thanks to all who have commented on the unidentified 531-DU station heard on the SRF-T615 last Sunday at Grayland, Washington. Actually, for a one-night DXpedition this late in the season,
