Hello Friends
Currently using my handy dandy Grundig S350 with occasional uses of my
long in the tooth Sangean ATS803A for AM BCB DX. That 803A is more
selective than I would've given it credit for. I have 2 communications
recievers (old Icom R72 and a fairly new Yaesu FRG100B). Some of the
tax refund is going on a good BCB DX antenna. Wonder if anyone out
there uses a communications RX for AM DX'ing (always wanted to try
it)...what antenna do you use?? If I can find the webpage..there is 1
company that makes an "outboard" rotating ferrite rod of pretty good
size. But, what do you folks use? Thanks 73 Greg WDX9KHY


When doing AMDX with my Icom R-75, I use the 110' longwire. More
stations, but more noise, too. The longest distance catches I've made
in AMDX have been with the Icom (Cuba, Mexico, etc.)

When using the GE Superadio III, and the "Select-A-Tenna", I get less
distance (to split hairs) but quieter reception (ability to rotate
antenna and tuner).

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't!
