I don't know if any of you are into this fairly new aspect of the
radio hobby-Ultralight DXing.. These little receivers are the size
that can fit in a shirt pocket. Some of these radios are amazing in
what they're capable of receiving.
On 9/22/09 on 730 khz, I was amazed ro hear an ID for WPIT,
Pittsburgh, PA for a mere 4 minutes. This reception was from 0556-0600
UTC with religious programming. Their night power is listed at only
24 watts. I hrd them on both an Eton E-100 and a Sony SRF-59. The
nulling capababilty of some of the better ultralights is amazing. If
anyone here enjoys MW DX'ing, I highly recommend checking out thus
ultralighting thing. It's a lot of fun. Folks on both coasts have
logged many TA's and TP's. Since I'm landlocked here in Oklahoma, it
would take some very exceptional conditions to be so lucky. If this
sound interesting to you, you will want to check out this website for
starters:
