[IRCA] Smart Talk 1580

-- Good Morning: Does anyone know if KGAL 1580 uses the slogan SmartTalk 1580? What a mumble of stations on 1580. A Spanish station that I can't get an ID from. Dennis, Vancouver, WA SRF-59 ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] SRF-59 problem

I had this problem with the first SRF-59 I had years ago. The variable tuning capacitor has very thin sheets of plastic insulating the plates from each other. If the pieces of plastic either break loose or wear out you start getting scratchies. My first one got to the point where I couldn't

Excellent way to go at it, Dennis That kind of log makes it very easy for me! Why I asked about the WBBM Log is that I think that might be the first logging from the West Coast of a station east of the Mississippi. Since this is a domestic record only, the loggings of RVC don't count for

Re: [IRCA] Loops and the SRF-59

I've been using my Radio Shack loop with my SRF-M37V, and it really makes the radio cook. However, I find that putting the radio inside the loop is just too much. It seems to work best when the radio is about 8 inches off to the side of the loop. On Jan 7, 2008 8:04 AM, Saul Chernos [EMAIL
