Hi Richard, I didn't listen during our sunrise this morning, but unlike yesterday I heard absolutely nothing in the 0800-1000 UTC period. 73, Jerry, KD0GS Longmont, CO

And the early morning late season TA propagation was somewhat good to me this morning! Around 2:30 AM MST (0930 UTC) I started to weakly hear JOUB 774 and JOIB 747 here in Colorado. Both peaked around

Hi Stephen, it seems as though chatrooms have lost the popularity they held a few years ago. I use to own and moderate a chatroom for a different hobby. Use to have some good crowds (10-15 people) and

I listened this morning from Colorado and heard absolutely nothing. Not even a hint of the Japanese blowtorches on 774 and 747, using both my newly acquired PL-390 and my PL-310 connected to a Palomar

Hi everyone, I'm 52 years old and have been playing with radios since I was 7 or 8 years old. I've been a ham since 1983 so I have a lot of very memorable DX moments. Two come to mind right off, with

Hi Rob, do you find any particular beam heading works best for this shower? I've got a small 5 element yagi for FM broadcast I'd like to use. Plus I'll be listening on my URLs. Thanks for the heads up

Hi all, Very early this morning I was able to copy JOUB-774 and JOIB-747 barefoot with my PL-310 from Longmont, CO. JOUB remained fairly weak, but JOIB peaked up with a very nice signal at 07:40 UTC (

Hi all, I managed to hear JOUB-774 at 11:30 PM MST (06:30 UTC) into Colorado last night. I found this to be pretty amazing considering the sun was almost an hour from setting over most of Japan! Is th

Hi all, yes signals from both Japan and Europe have been good into Colorado during the last 24 hours. I was able to copy both JOUB-774 and JOIB-747 this morning barefoot using my PL-310. Both were wea

Hi all again. Seems to be my lucky day, both east and west. Around 6:15 PM (00:15 UTC) I started hearing a very weak signal on 1134 KHz. The signal peaked between 6:45 PM and 7:05 PM (00:45-01:05 UTC)

Hi all, had my first decent copy of a TP from Japan around 6:45 AM (12:45 UTC) this morning. The program was a English language lesson called "Radio English Conversation". A little internet research c

I didn't have a chance to listen tonight, but last night, right around sunset I heard a very weak station at 1134 from here in Colorado. It wasn't strong enough to identify the language, but I'm prett

Hi all, I think I may have copied JOUB (Japan) 774 on my PL-310 early this morning. I woke up around 12:45 UTC (6:45 AM MDT) and decided to do a little listening. On 774 I copied an Asian speaking sta

I wish Anon_co would send an English manual for the PL-310. I have no idea if swallowing the included AA batteries is harmful or not. ;) 73, Jerry, KD0GS Longmont, CO

Ok, I pulled out my caliper and I measure: 5.32 inches wide. 5.52 inches wide including the tuning knob on the side. 3.375 inches tall. 1.125 inches deep. My insights on the radio so far as compared t

Oh, and BTW, the PL-310 is about 1/4 inch wider and 1/4 inch taller than the Grundig G8. Thickness they're about the same. Jerry, KD0GS Longmont, CO

Ok, pulled the PL-310 apart and started looking at some of the signals going to the microprocessor. I had to remove the metal shield that covers the processor. I suddenly discovered that my volume con

I received my Tecsun PL-310 about 11 AM today. Carefully unpacked it, installed some batteries...and away I went. But....I can't get the volume to adjust. It's stuck at about mid-range and won't adjus

Hi Kevin, no audio filter, just my ears and the G8 with the 7" ferrite antenna. Not even headphones, straight out of the speaker. If I had sat on some of the "graveyard" frequencies for awhile I might

Hi all, I finally had a chance to do some late night longwave Dxing on my modified Grundig G8 last night. Between 05:00 and 06:00 UTC I copied the following NDBs: GLS - 206 KHz - Galvenston, TX - 952
