  • We used to love "outdoor radio operations." It gets you away from all the noise generated by computers, televisions, etc.

    I remember a great night where we had a 200 foot tall wire held up by an advertising balloon. Hooked to a DX-160 receiver, with an 8 foot ground rod for a counterpoise. No homes around for miles.

    You would not believe the signals that came rolling in overnight. Exciting!

  • You very likely have noise coming thru your AC mains wiring in the house. MFJ makes a filtered power strip -- model # MFJ-1164B -- something like this can really help your listening. Plug *only* the receiver into this strip and plug the strip into the wall.

  • Yes it is very interesting to DX outside the house.I often have qrm here in my home and if i try to DX outside i log a lot of interesting signals from all over the world.

    Best the DXING and best greetings from Germany

  • No idea were 6.7390 is broadcasting from.

  • @MrSuperheterodyne yup they are, these things break very easy, be careful with them.

  • Hey buddy.

    Are those the original flip down feet on your 394?

    I was looking at my feet the other day and seems like theres some plastic fatigue.

    Just wandered if it was a common problem area...

    Great vid... keep them coming...

  • 6.739mhz USB is the USAF freq, also on 8.992 and very active on 11.175mhz USB  mode.

    Good video, enjoy the summertime.
