How to use Tecsun AN-200 Loop Antenna for “Better” MW

“The Man from South Africa” in this video gives you a great easy to follow tutorial of sorts to get you going on Medium Wave listening – it’s a really low cost and very entertaining hobby to get started in. Click on any of this highlighted text to go to his YouTube channel – full of good stuff!

I have been doing some day time explorating on the AM broadcast band (MW) with portables as I am still getting “stuff” sorted out in my disaster zone radio / junk room. The fun part is to find a low power day / night station and listen to it at night time when they operate on low power – for an example – KQAD out of Luverne, Minnesota – their mighty broadcast facility pumps out 800 watts during the day ( LOL ) and at local sunset they drop power to 80 watts – I can hear them at night – but just. And that’s using a GE Super Radio III AND a Tecsun AN-100 loop.

You can go to Amazonia or to Fleabay and pick one up – thinking seriously about picking up a TECSUN AN-48X and giving one a try – but always remember folks – the amplified antenna will ALSO AMPLIFY THE NOISE!

Winter is rapidly approaching – the clear cold nights make for some incredible broadcast band ( MW ) listening – the spring / summer thunderstorm activity makes listening difficult sometimes.

And speaking of winter coming . . .

mommy and daddy got us warm winter coats and we are hoping they will let us stay up late on Christmas eve and try to catch a glimpse of “Sandy Paws” and our hero – Rudolph the red nosed dachshund leading the 8 tiny dachshunds as he delivers treats and toys to all of us good doggies!!

I just don’t see that happening since 8:00 at night is a stretch for them – but I told the boys they could stay up late – IF they are good little boys – for Curtis and Oliver 9:00 pm is real late for them – we shall see . . .

CONELRAD: The Voice of Armageddon

The one thing about the CONELRAD markings on old radios – sure helps date them . . .

Ran across a grand total of one (1) of these at a garage sale over the years – I had to pass – it wouldn’t power up at all – thinking back I probably should have bought it as they are exceedingly rare and quite collectable ( working or not! ) these days . . .

And another Colion Noir for YOUR Monday . . .

Don’t know about anybody else – but I as a majority of one really miss $1.60 a gallon gas – world peace – and mean tweets . . .

And this maroon works for the same evil as the Golem known as “Nadler” works for . . .

“Of course the 1911 is an outdated design.”

From the 19111 Forum – RIP Rosco Benson – “designed to win fights” – over 1/2 ounce of copper jacketed lead at about 800 feet per second – kinda like slapping someone with a paving brick thrown thrown at 545 miles per hour – pretty much works – just that simple . . .
