FM station 500 on an UL


Paul Logan
 

Thanks Robert and Richard for your kind encouragement - onward and upward!

Robert, trying to log with the UL slows me down a little during openings but I figure I do ok anyway.

When anything really exotic comes in the UL gets turned off and gets a go when everything is logged. The PL310 would be a great tropo expedition radio, must get it up some hills sometime.

Hi all,

I wouldnt have thought it possible not so long ago..but I have yesterday logged station 500 on teh FM band using a barefoot Ultralight. It was 92.4 Radio Sintony from the Italian island of Sardinia via E skip. FM total is now 510 with 4/5th's being E skip rather than tropo. Receivers used have been the PL310 and PL300WT.

Heres what has been ehard over recent days.

Bravo Paul.....your FM DX antics continue to amaze!!! 500 FMs on a BAREFOOT ULR.....is absolutely unbelievable!! I wish I could pry myself away from the Big Rigs on FM....but with 2,030 Stations heard....it's pretty hard to get new ones on an Ultralight from here!

I admire your persistence, and thanks for proving to the world just what can be accomplished on an Ultralight Receiver....especially on the FM Band!

Sure has been a Great Year for E-Skip so far!! Hopefully more to come...Maybe you can hit 600 before Season's end...especially when the Tropo starts!

Keep Loggin' 'Em Paul......
