WMT is a possibility. CKPK is also strong here. Sending the a CD report out on Monday, to get their 4th Call letter QSL'd since I first heard them in 1962. Sad to see them leave the air, even though I am not fond of their current "The Peak" format. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager

[IRCA] Has anybody ever tried this?

Years ago, I made a device to peak up the untuned ferrite bar antenna in my DX-440. It's simply another ferrite bar, tuned with a small tuning capacitor out of the same radio that donated the bar, mounted in a piece of vinyl channel. The idea is to lay it on top of the DX-440, and use the capacitor
