I've always mounted the tuning cap outside of the coil - immediately outside it
at the end of one of the arms. That reduces or eliminates the issue.

Not much difference from yesterdays logging's. Stations dropped off as sunrise
came.
153 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1245-1253 excellent signal with Russian talk and
music.
180 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1254 fair signal with man in Russian followed by
lady singing.

Interesting. Have also observed the same over the years with my locals.
Both LA local KFI and KNX seem to have been received better years ago ( 1960's-
1970's). When living east of LA during the same time frame, locals there also
seem to be received better also. What was different then
Try using a non-conductive tuning shaft extension (nylon, plastic,
phenolic/fiber). This has worked well with LC oscillators and TX output PA
tuning networks. Also use a non-conductive knob.

Early this morning I added another station into my ultralight log.

0628UTC 530 Radio Rebelde, Guatánamo GU Cuba (1 kW @ approximately 2812 km /

The locals here do not have the big bucks. They keep them running, but
not a lot on maintainence. Small market radio has always been that way,
however with the downturn in the economy it is worse today. At least
here, I doubt the stations are running less power on purpose. The land
is open and
I've got a big black plastic knob on the thing. I think the main
problem is that the tuning capacitor is mounted inside the loop, and I
get hand capacitance effect without even touching the capacitor or the
knob.
I may try moving the capacitor to a spot outside the loop, or maybe
even use some

What is the design of that loop
Just a basic 2 foot, 12 turn box loop, 18 gauge windings spaced at
7/16. The capacitor I happened to have on hand is just a single
section Hammerlund job that I had scavenged from somewhere.

There's just the open carrier (still) on 900 kHz Eric. Ironically, a
few weeks after shutting down the AM broadcasts but remaining as an
internet broadcaster, the station was given notice to shut down
completely due to lack of funds for the sponsoring program at Camosun
College.

Hi All:
Somebody here between 1906 and 1911 tonight (4/12) on top w/Alexander Scorby
reading I Corinthians 1. I suspect WHGT as their schedule says they are doing
Bible reading at that time. Faded before it could ID. I had heard the old
Chambersburg 1590, but never this one.

David,
1510 with ESPN in Spanish. If This is WI it shouldn't be on at 2230 EDT. If
this is an actual Latin, who? I strongly suspect WI. On my se wire, which would
put WI off the back. 730 Black Gospel isb Greensboro NC per ID. Relog here, but
strong hunch it's not at night power/pattern as was
I checked 900 after reading the posting and yes, the carrier is still
there. Not an issue here, but quite strong S6 off the NE EWE.
