Just curious because it's a band on my radio.

Thanks guys. Sounds like a losing proposition.

Has anyone ever heard anything on longwave?

Thanks Edward.

Please excuse me for going slightly off topic,but I have a noob question. Isn't MW the same as AM?

I am also in S. Illinois in Franklin county.I chose the Uniden BCD436HP because I wanted it for the state police and for traveling. Now that the SDS 100 is out,you should be able to find good deals on the 436. I also have the BC125AT.It's a good radio for local stuff like county and Marion...

Well,unfortunately (or not) I have a whole house generator. So,unless I run out of propane,I will always have electric power.

That’s a good idea since sometimes I can just bring the wire close to the radio and it will improve reception. Thanks.

What does distortion sound like? I know, dumb question.

So do you guys think I should cut the wire down some? If so, what length would be appropriate?

Yeah I put up a wire to a tree today. It's probably 75 feet long and probably 25 feet in the air.Both ends are secured by paracord,so I think that should have an insulator on both ends.Connected to the expandable whip with an alligator clip. I tried it out at about 1 p.m. but I couldn't bring in...

Yeah 40 years ago it was common to hear such stations as Radio Budapest and Radio Prague in English with no more than an extendable whip. I guess those were the good ‘ol days *sigh* As for my rig, I recently bought a Tecsun PL-380. Kind of cheap I guess, but wasn’t sure what could still be...

Thanks CQ.

I am just getting into SW listening again after some 40 years,and I need to ask 2 questions. I plan on setting up a wire antenna and need to know: 1) how long of a wire do I need and can it be TOO long 2) Does the wire need to be horizontally polarity,or will it being vertical hurt? TIA P.s...

Got everything ordered.Thanks for your help and recommendations.

Should the NXDN frequencies in my area be showing up in the RR database now?

What do these do?

I have bookmarked my shopping cart on all of your recommendations,but they are closed until June 1st,which is Friday.
