I was able to hear the CW tones and sweeping tones sound on 1630 kHz for the DX test here in Chisholm, Mn on my Kaito KA1103 and a 7” FSL. The time was 0754 UTC 0254 CDT. Last night was a mess on 1630

Very faint sweep / sound affect tones noted from the presumed WNJC 1360-NJ. I had this in my logbook from about 15 years ago but it wasn't in my ULR logbook. Way under WMOB who never seems to power do

This is from Paul Walker on the IRCA list. This might be a great chance to log New Jersey. I have this station in my log from a 06-07 series of DX Tests but not in my seldomly updated ULR logbook. It

I bought some of these about 8 months ago and tested them on the Q meter. They have good Q and I believe would make a good FSL, given their short length. They go on sale like they are now every few mo

Howdy everyone - it’s been while since I’ve been around - life gets in the way. I hope all is well with everyone. Do you guys have a updated list of official ultralight models - looking I only see a d

These two 531 kHz recordings were made during the Rockwork ocean cliff DXpedition on the Oregon coast last month, and both feature an Australian call-in talk station alone on the frequency. I'm pretty
