For those interested, Paul Blundell of the Ultralight list has posted the results of a daytime DX scan with his 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-380 in Launceston, Tasmania on October 8th. As recorded, the 2 kW classic rock station 558-7BU in Burnie (one of the best catches during the 2017 summer DXpeditions in Rockwork and San Souci) is still operating on AM, despite plans for an FM shift. The number after the station is for relative signal strength on the hot-rodded Ultralight.
