Hope you have a speedy, pain-free recovery. Sounds like a good opportunity to spend some at the radio. On Jul 10, 2011, at 11:19 PM, Donald K. Kaskey kaskeyfam...@yahoo.com wrote: Greetings All!

[IRCA] Ferrite Sleeve Loop (FSL) Antenna Demonstration Video
Yesterday I had the chance to visit fellow Puyallup resident and DXing pal Gary DeBock and experience his Ferrite Sleeve Loop antennas on medium wave and longwave. The results were very impressive. On a whim I decided to pull out my mobile phone and take a video of the antenna's performance on distant 610 kHz KONA from Pasco, Washington, about 150 miles away. With the small Tecsun PL-380 some distance from the FSL, only background noise was heard. As the receiver approached the antenna, KONA came up from the noise and became clearly audible. In fact, an unidentified co-channel station was also heard in the background on 610. A smaller FSL antenna that Gary built for longwave was even more impressive. NDB beacons totally inaudible on the PL-380 blasted in at very strong levels when the receiver approached the FSL antenna. Here's the link to the Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WUUlMgK0qI Thanks for showing me your FSL antenna projects, Gary, and good luck with the DU reception from the Oregon coast this week! 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Ferrite Sleeve Loop (FSL) Antenna Demonstration Video
Hi Derek, Great to hear from you again! How has the cliff-top DX been treating you? Yes, we are already at the Oregon ocean cliff-side paradise. The two FSL's (8 diameter MW and 6.5 diameter LW) appear to have made the trip without incident. Tomorrow morning at 0345 local time I will know for sure! :-) 73, Gary -Original Message- From: Derek Vincent eargaz...@yahoo.com To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Mon, Jul 11, 2011 3:32 pm Subject: Re: [IRCA] Ferrite Sleeve Loop (FSL) Antenna Demonstration Video Hey Gary...
