I've just posted the latest update of the Ultralight Firsts and
Records list to the Ultralight Files area of dxer.ca
http://www.dxer.ca/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,87/Itemid,77/
Allen Willie of St. Johns, Newfoundland has added two more first
country catches (Romania and Denmark) and Paul Logan of Northern
Ireland has finally broken the TA barrier from East to West.
Following that first TA reception, Paul continued to reach Across the
Pond and OBLITERATE most of the World-wide Distance Records for
various transmitter powers. His latest catch didn't even make the
list yet.... a new record at 1000 watts:
1700 KVNS Brownsville TX, 4-9-08, Sony SRF59 Unlimited (with 2 foot loop)
4794 miles / 7715 km
That is stunning for a cheap little ANALOG pocket radio, even with
the assistance of a two foot loop antenna! The Northwest crew are
going to have to struggle to surpass that record this season (or the
next, for that matter!)
John B.
Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA
Rcvrs: WiNRADiO 313e, Eton e1, NRD-535(kiwa-mods) + Flocka Ultralights
Antennas: 700' NE/SW mini-Bev, Wellbrook Phased Array (pre-production version)
