Hello All, As John and Walt have reported, this morning's conditions were nothing to shout about-- but I guess using a 9' box loop (in the back yard) does have its advantages. 675-Hohhot (China) in Chinese was mixing with Vietnam's YL news announcer at 1413 for a new Ultralight TP logging, the 4th new TP here since the new 9' loop was set up on Saturday. The 9' tuned passive loop seems to find weak Chinese co-channels on many of the 9 kHz-splits that the smaller loops were unable to receive (603, 621, 738, 891, 1053, 1143 etc.), so I'm very happy with its performance so far. Now the challenge is to identify them all (hopefully within this month, before the Chinese are gone for the season :-) 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) Main Receiver: C.Crane SWP ultralight (7.5" Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9'1" (side) PVC frame tuned passive loop (in back yard) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
