John, when are you going to give up on this crystal receiver set of yours and get a decent receiver? http://crystalradiosupply.com/conten...%20edition.jpg For me, receiving at anywhere near the 0.13 uV receiver threshold is just too much work. I think they should outlaw any received signal below 1 uV. -- 73, Cecil, w5dxp.com Darn Cecil, quite peeking! From the crystal silicon in the semiconductors, to the crystaline structure of the metals ... I just can't get away from the darn crystal radios! And, alas, I am afraid, these days, the sensitivity of my receivers front end far exceeds my hearing ... I was just bragging. You caught me! But, I can still remember those days when I could pull out a gnats whisper above ... but then, as I remember, there was far less noise then. Regards, JS |
