A very unscientific survey, as I haven't had a chance to do more than a
cursory scan of the band in the mornings this week, but the activity
seems considerably lower than it has been the last couple of mornings.
The big Japanese are only fair carriers, unlike audio I noted

One oddity - there is a decent carrier (perhaps the
strongest on the band) on 1017, which is definitely not the norm.
I noted 1017 (Tonga) last night at 0630UTC significantly stronger

Maybe the antenna engineer went out and replaced a bunch

Typically it lags the K by 6 hours or more. If the K stays at 6 for any

Mike,
Yes, the farther North you get, the more the AK do make a huge
difference. If the numbers stay high, I can pretty much kiss the test
goodbye. Now if it was South East of me, like FL, then that would be a
different story.

Intrigued by the recent postings about MW DXing with Sony Walkmans, I

didn't have much hope for its DX

Hello All,
Thanks to Colin for re-posting my mini-review of the Sony SRF-59
Walkman, an incredible overachiever for $20..00. The TP conditions certainly
were
not the best last night, so I am eager to see how this tiny analog DX radio
will perform when conditions really improve.
Wow. That is a great signal. It's been a while since I last heard TA's of
that quality from here.

Dr. Xin also comments on the AM sensitivity. He likes the SRF M-59, 83 and
M-35V for MW sensitivity. He attributes performance to Sony's proprietary
IC and Sony's secretiveness about it--like Coca Cola recipe. As far as
unmodified performance, the M-35V, performs the best, according to him.

I've had the SDR-14 at New Bedford, MA on the south coast for a few days.
Unfortunately, my internet connection was off from Friday afternoon until

The antenna used is a 5 foot copper loop about 150' from the WNBH-1340
tower, set to null it.
Hello J.D. Stevens and Others,
I haven't yet written any formal review of the Sony SRF-59 Walkman, but
I have offered to do so for Colin's excellent dxer.ca web site, and he has
expressed interest. This Walkman's sensitivity, selectivity and image-signal
rejection seem incredible,

It looks like IBOC has laid the egg before it even got going. The same
reports I have heard everywhere. No one is interested.
I doubt many IBOC radios will be stocking stuffers.
