I do understand it. Kind of. But, these ultralights are very little different in selectivity and sensitivity from the old tube type table radio that had an RF amplifier section. A six tuber as compared to the AA5.
Now, if you were using it barefoot, that would mean something to me, but coupling large loops to them? Doesn't that kind of take away the challenge? The only handicap I can see is that it's much harder to tune. They are quite sensitive. I had an idea back in the day to start a QRP DX challenge. There was a guy in AZ who was using a one transistor regen with a long wire antenna. Now, that kind of DXing would be a challenge. I remember that we had the graveyard channel challenges back in the early 90s. Those were fun. -- Leonard Hyde Weed, CA Realistic DX-440 6 foot shielded loop _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
