Very weak this morning. Undecipherable.

West Coast North America.

Sounds like you've got antenna problems.

Since you offered, I'd like one of those fancy English active antennas
with a 3-D rotor.

If lack the space for a more traditional antenna, a Wellbrook loop
might be a good choice:

You might not need the rotor, depending on which antenna you buy and
how noisy your surroundings are.

If you have any questions, just give Andy Ikin a call.

I want to be able to null. Does it work well on MW?

Some of the work better than others on MW. When you visit the site, you
should be able to download details on the different models they have
available.

Yes when I use my ICOM R75 or Grundig Sat. 800. But not for all other
radio. Sometimes the telescopic antenna works better!

I've seen this word before what is null? BTW I have a friend who has
the book EASY-UP ANTENNAS FOR RADIO LISTENERS AND HAMS, EDWARD M NOLL.
Maybe I'll take a look at it.

All antennas receive better in some directions and worse in others.
The good directions are ''lobes'' the bad directions are ''nulls''.

A loop antenna has killer nulls perpundicular to the plane of the
coils. If you are trying to hear on a channel with more than one
station you can steer the null toward one of the stations and then
just hear the other one. This is the #1 advantage of a loop antenna,
IMHO.

Yes please tell me more about loop antennas.

Not really, I used:

CB fiberglass whip on the roof. With RG 213/U coax about 100 feet, with
4 loop choke.

90 foot dipole each side coil on the window on PVC tubing (home-brew)

TV VHF/UHF on the roof.

Other accessories: MFJ antenna switch box. KOSS headphones, MT Magazine,
Heathkit scope Mr Coffee, cigars and ash tray.

My main sw radio, I use the ICOM R75.

Now, my question then is: So I could better identify All Indian
Station, how do they broadcast to the Americas? Is it in English? Is
it in talk and some music? Or all music? Do they give world news?

BTW what is the most popular or easiest sw station to pick up in Asia?
Other then China Radio International, Voice of Vietnam, Radio Japan and
Radio Taiwan International.

73, SR!
