I have put together a loop box antenna and now need a
365pf tuner. If you are aware of a person, retailer or
whatever that would sell me one would you please let
me know.
A question I have is: I have a Grove Mini-Tuner - tun
3 Would this tuner work in place of the above one??
Thank you for any

Greetngs,
After our storms this Winter, especially the big one in early December,
the Eastern beverage got busted up and it took me several weeks to
finally get it back up. It was too cold and wet to solder the splices so
I just twisted the splices and taped then up for the time being. I got

A 100-150 watt soldering iron should work OK at that distance, assuming
your extension cords are #14 or larger. There would be loss of about
4-5 volts, which wouldn't be enough to matter.

Don't forget the DX test. I plan to be live with
standard oldies format from 11:30 until midnight. I'll
run ID and ABC news, and WX after the news then the DX
test at 12:04 or 12:05. I will take phone calls at
(803) 276-2957. NO collect calls.

Thanks Bruce. I'll pick up the extra extention cords. It is a soldering
gun not an iron. But with a drop of 4-5 volts, that isn't enough of a
drop to do anything. I thought the drop may be a lot more. Great.
I have a bad splice somewhere and the signal goes on and down with a
bad connection..
A little additional info direct from the source.

George,
With our wind on the coast, open torches don't excite me. That is why
the idea of a long extention cord is better, plus running 140w in the
wind still works fine. I use the soldering gun out in the backyard

you could

Greetings from Michigan,
I will have to review my recording but I believe I
heard, however faintly, parts of the Morse Code and
Sweep tones commencing at about 12:04 am.
My thanks to Powell Way and Jim Pogue for conducting
and arranging this DX test.

But the hiss is much louder on 710 than 690 or 730, so either they were off or
the 710 Spanish was local strength, or WLW WGN were much weaker. Oh well, no
IBOC problems expected for the DX test, just dozens of co-channel QRMers. Will
give it a try, with semi-rare WPTF coming in, who knows?
SRF-59 SRF-M37V both getting it 10 PM CST. A big thanks to WSCR for turning
off the IBOC! I started these logs about Christmas on SRF-M37V have 311
heard. Spanish from SE on 710 probably Cuba. Thanks WLW WGN for no IBOC! 73,

I hope you don't consider this a stupid question. If it is I apologize.
Is there a way to kind of loosen the dialing wheel on the radio so that it
turns easier? I have serious neuropathy problems with my fingers and a looser
wheel would make life much easier for me.

Patrick,
If you need to solder wire in cold weather, use a propane torch. A torch is
best suited to uninsulated stranded copper wire, as the heat will cause the
insulation on typical zip cord extension wire to melt back on either side
of the spice - but it will deliver enough heat to make a
