I have an older ICOM 756 - the original model - with all the filters and use
it for MWDX in SSB Mode. It is excellent, but the the 7200 should do a much
better job given the advancement in receivers since it was built. I also
have an IC-7410 which I mainly use for 6 meters and have used for MW
I have been using the IC-7200 for mw Dxing for about 2 years and listen in
ssb mode only. With some decent (not necessarily expensive) earbuds or
headphones, it really produces nice audio. I like it much better than my
R75 receiver, which is very good also. Jim

It would be good to know if the IC-7200 has a built-in high pass filter as
many of the previous ICOM models do (e.g., IC-746 Pro, IC-R75, etc.). For
the best MW DXing (esp. with weaker TP/DU signals) these attenuators need
to be removed or bypassed to make the sensitivity competitive. With the
Hello All,
For those interested, Satoshi Miyauchi of Sagamihara, Japan has forwarded an
excellent MP3 of his reception of 693-Bangladesh on his 7.5 loopstick C.Crane
Skywave ultralight radio last night at home, near Tokyo. He is one of three
Japanese DXers to receive modified 7.5 loopstick
Hello All,
Asian signals returned to both the low and high band this morning, with a few
of them even sounding somewhat healthy. A decent sunrise enhancement boost
around 1340 brought up some fair to good signals on 594, 603 and 693, while
1566 and 1575 both managed fair peaks on the high band

Are any switching types quiet? The MFJ is switching type but Universal says
quiet fan, so does that mean no noise? Do I definitely need linear power
suppply what is cheapest? Can I get something under $200 under 20lbs? I

A few logs on the radio from last night.. none of the signals I logged were
exceptionally strong except your usual shortwave suspects. I am in Redding,
CA using a Sangean ATS909X with 3 different strands of speaker wire

Listening this morning it was obvious propagation was in transition from the
recent solar storm. While I wasn't
expecting any TP signals, I was surprise by the dearth of Mexican signals as
well as missing northern stations
(WCCO, WGN, WHO, WJR, etc.). Reception just wasn't very good.

Last evening was severely AU. But unlike most previous nights this week,
southerly and LA stations didn't have all that much power. This might explain
why I noted a major dearth of reports last night from any where in US/Canada.
