Hi Bob That sounds really nice, and certainly substantial! It’s smaller than the recently mentioned http://www.mtmscientific.com/AM%20Loop%20Booklet.pdf I was really surprised recently when looking at

Hi Bob In answer to your first question, my selection would be the Etón E5, I’m sure more informed comments will follow, I’m new to the game. I now have a question for you, what was/is the loop you re

Hi Ron Once again many thanks! So clip-on it is! And now finally fully understood, and I really appreciate your patience 🙂. Cheers Drifter

Hi Ron Many thanks for such a detailed reply! It’s cleared me up on attaching a long wire for SW. So do I understand that plugging a long wire into the jack socket only benefits MW? In other words, re

Okay all! I bought another one! This time it was called Hwydo AN200, but they’re all the same. This time I’ve learned some very valuable beginners lessons. If you’re reading this having never used one

Right, I know I’m answering my own questions here but I’ve just found this: https://youtu.be/7UDl1aCz-dc which shows clearly an external antenna attached, confirming what Ron has said. So, would I be

Hi again Ron Okay, I’ve looked again at Jays’s page here: https://radiojayallen.com/tecsun-l-368/ It seems that the long press on 3 with the radio on allows you to Switch between internal ferrite rod

Hi Ron I’m assuming that reply was for me, and if it was I’m slightly confused? Are you referring to the long press on 3 while in MW mode? If so then that wasn’t my understanding of it’s function. I t

Hi Mark Yea, it doesn’t get much use now I have to admit! Well I ordered another AN-200 today, and also, just for fun, a Youloop passive. For £24 from Amazon I thought it was worth a try. Watch this s

Hi Mark That’s very informative, thanks. It would appear you’re having more luck with your V-115 than I did, but on the up side, it was the radio that got me started! Mine wasn’t the Retekess, it was

My own lightweight kit

Paul, I think you misunderstood the term lightweight 😊.

Hi Mark Thanks for that, it gives me something else to look for. As a matter of interest which antenna and receiver do you use? Drifter

Hi Issac I think that’s a great idea, because it will make the group more interesting to members of any country. It would add a bit of friendly competition perhaps, although personal satisfaction is m

Hi Michael I’m in agreement with all you say, particularly about Spain, on the few occasions I’ve listened to MW lately it’s definitely been prevalent! And the one thing history teaches us is that man

Hi Steve Yes, as far as I’m aware (😊) I am still looking for my first trans-Atlantic. I’ll certainly try for VOCM but I don’t often see sunrise these days! I really appreciate your input here, thanks.

Quite honestly the only thing the 368 lacks (in my opinion) is a shortwave antenna input, but I pick up a fair amount when conditions allow anyway. Drifter

Hi Steve Yes, you’re right about my location, east of Peterborough. I’m new to this game and until now have mainly been listening to the hams on side band. I’ve become aware that the majority of membe

BODMAS Paul?

Hi Steve Wow, I was totally unaware that such a list existed! Now that I have something to search for I may change my listening habits a bit 😊. Very many thanks for that Drifter p.s. Are you in the UK
