Another new one (overall log) and I think that I am closing in on #100 in my ULR logbook, with maybe just THREE HOURS total DX time! Please note that I consider my two Sony Cassette walkman (Walkmen? Walkpeople?) to be ULR's for this excercise. This is my first station from Saskatchewan added to the ULR log, though I'm sure that I had CBK this morning too.
The ULR's all make for fine skip receivers but I'm not as happy with daytime performance. At "high noon" I usually can get WSM-650 at good levels on my Ford Windstar's factory radio but no or little audio from the ULR's. This is at 266 miles. I know that I can not put my van in my shirt pocket but I'm wondering how a simuilar Windstar radio would do with a stable, low noise power supply and a loop antenna? Are the Ford radios "theft protected" like the GM radios, where they can not be used outside of the vehicle? CKRM 620 SK Regina 2-25 0505 F w/weather and ID. Another NEW! ULR log.
