That's right the 800 CJJC was much newer and is different station than the 850 CJJC. The old CJJC from 1965 was 1 KW too, and CW if I remember correctly. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list

[IRCA] PL-606 LW/MW plug-in antenna mod?

2011-04-29 Thread Stephen Airy
Hi all (especially ULR tinkerers)... I have my Tecsun PL-606 open, as I had to replace a broken whip antenna, and while I have it open I figure I may as well modify the FM/SW plug to also accept LW/MW antennas.  I know there have been a couple PDFs published detailing how to do it with the

Hi Stephen, In answer to your question, the PL-606 has an external FM-SW antenna jack which can presumably be rewired like the Laurie Mann modification to the PL-310, allowing the use of external AM plug-in antennas to replace the stock loopstick. But since nobody (that I'm aware of) has
