Stephen -
I don't know what Allen has heard, but on rental car radios we've heard
a handful of UK stations while driving from St. John's to Cappahayden in
the middle of the day.

I'm curious to know what midday/groundwave catches you might have across the
pond with that setup grounded in the saltwater? :) I've heard of 5kW 560 Miami
(when their transmitter was in Biscaine (sp?) Bay) being heard on a barefoot
Sony ICF-6500W at Signal Hill, NFLD. With some Europeans being in the hundreds
of kW or even a megawatt or more, I wonder if you'd hear any on groundwave
there with a good setup, especially longwave stations? (I haven't heard any
here, but I've got a major urban area between me and the Pacific, which also is
much larger than the Atlantic, especially heading west or southwest from here.)

RE:
I'm amazed at Alan Willie's TA DX list of snags with an otherwise not so
sensitive little pocket radio and also a little envious since I'm not even
getting any TPs with a fairly good full sized portable but then he's much
closer to his TAs than I am to my TPs. But anyway whenever he sends in a report
it always mentions the ultralights. I'd like to see what the results would be
if he used a big rig with adjustable RF gain etc.and something like a loop
antenna. Can we persuade him to do some DXing with something a little more
sensitive -weather permitting ? Bill in BC
Hello To All
Plans are, once the weather clears up I'll be putting out a 300 foot longwire
antenna for both my Kenwood R-5000 and Yaesu FRG - 100 receivers
I'm looking forward to finding out what is out there to be heard on them as
well.
Will be reporting when everything is up and running in the months ahead.
Good DX
