I'm using a Sony ICF-2010 as my primary radio. I
apologize if my question is OT, but I'm interested in picking up distant MW signals. One of my better catches would have to be WICC on 600 kHz broadcasting from Bridgeport, CT @ 500 W, and approx. 350 miles from me (reciever is in downeast Maine.) Anyway, my goal is to pick up a signal from each of the 48 contiguous states. In addition to the 2010 I've got a Terk loop. Is this setup adequate for my goal (assuming "luck" as a factor)? I'd add that I'm limited to indoor antennas at this time. I suppose I will need to pay more attention to timing.... The 2010 is primarily a shortwave radio. For MW you're gonna need a radio that is just an AM/FM radio, and that has good MW circuitry. Examples would be a GE Superadio 3 or a Sangean CCRadio. Huh? I would say that the 2010 and its Sync Detector will beat out the GE and CC radios every single time. I have the GE SR2 and a Sony 7600GR. I can tell you that I much prefer by far the 7600 with its Sync Detector on MW. Also, the use of SSB mode in the cluttered MW band is priceless. |
