I've seen some photos online of the aftermath of the bad tornado that struck
Joplin MO this evening. Many buildings were unfortunately directly hit.
Thoughts and prayers to the people there. I haven't yet heard specifics of
emergency broadcasts but I'm sure they are happening. ms
Rick, sure, go ahead and forward it. I got thrown off ABDX awhile ago...
don't even remember what for now;)
KSDN's tower got hit by lightning which destroy the skirt on the tower and
sent the surge into the transmitter.

I tried to tune into nearby KKOW-860 to get storm coverage (which they excel
at), but there was too much static on the band here. Didn't dawn on me until
long afterwards to listen to their streaming audio. The way the Weather
Channel
talked, this thing was a monster, like an F-4 or perhaps
I tink it's been said this was a very very strong F3, thats what I THOUGT Id

Aaron Barnhart at the Kansas City Star says they can't make a
determination of the size of the tornado yet, since damage-assessment
teams haven't

KXL with its big band, ballad and Broadway format and personality DJs was my
favorite station when i was growing up in the '40s and early '50s in Corvallis,
Oregon. Years later, I heard an FM station, full-quieting, on the road from
I-10 down to Douglas, Arizona, solid all the way ... it was
In Nanaimo BC last night at 23:00 PDT I tuned in to 750 I found a nice clear
steady signal from what turned out to be still KXL News Radio 750 including ID

stopped by some good old classic rock on 760 which was comimg in

Paul-
From personal experiance with tornados, and by what CBS showed this morning
from a storm chaser, it was closer to an F-5. It was larger than the one we
had here back on 27 April that ripped a wide path through Cleveland.

Thanks for the update Dennis.
Sad news. I was aware that they had the simulcast going on but didn't expect
them to leave the band, particularly for sports radio. On a reverse note, I
was sad to see 101.1 KUFO's hard rock disappear as well. I really thought both
stations had high enough
Some of the damage looked EF4 or even EF5 in places.

Interesting. Hey on 760 at night, what station do you normally hear there?
Does KFMB from San Diego, CA, make an appearance up there?

Presently listed as a strong EF4 with 198 MPH winds. Just two down from
an EF5. Whatever the strength, its path into a densely populated area
makes it all the more tragic.
Godspeed!

Recently looking at Jay Allen's (of RadioIntel) new webpage
http://radiojayallen.com/, I read his review of the new C.Crane CCRadio-EP
AM/FM analog portable radio and was intrigued by the mention of it using the
Twin Coil Ferrite Antenna along with Jay's picture showing the internal

I notice I made an error in describing the output of the varactor-tuned
transformer--this isn't at the 455 kHz IF that I said, but is still the
MW-band RF signal coming from the antenna. This is fed to the LA1260 IC
which then does the conversion to the IF.
I've revised my Review to show
Hello Steve (and all),
Thanks for the excellent CCRadio-EP technical review, Steve.
Tecsun apparently first introduced this two Litz-wire lead,
multi-section loopstick coil system in the PL-310 Ultralight model, and
has continued it in the PL-380 and PL-606 models. Why the Chinese
factories
Hi Gary,
Thanks for reminding me.
I didn't mention it in my review, but the Litz used on the EP radio's
loopstick appears to be decent. It's quite fat in diameter compared to the
usual tiny Litz found on the usual portable radio loopsticks. Purely
guessing, but I'd guess the EP loopstick Litz

Bill,
I am surprised you get KFMB more than you get CFLD as I hear CFLD more
than KFMB here. BV 870 is not as common.
