When I was stationed on Okinowa in the mid-70's we would contact our SR-71s by SSB because they were to far away. The antenna was a huge tube that we could mechanecally change directions on it.

@The St. Louis DXer It's really too bad because it's really the best of the crop of clones which includes the XDATA D808 and CCRAINE SSB. You have to send away to Australia to purchase it for now.

That was some good DXing in this bandscan. I think it has to do with the shorter days during the winter months. By the way, WRRD changed its call letters to WGKB earlier this month. It is still licensed to Waukesha, WI.

Both this and the Skywave SSB are the complete package when it comes to tiny DSP portables. I slightly favor the Skywave for NOAA coverage since I’m in the US, but the price is higher than the AR. The AR1780 beats the XH version when it comes to style, IMO.

jaycar still has a listing for it, but they have it listed as out of stock. Couldn't find it anywhere else. I suspect it has been discontinued in favour of the 808.

Hey Todd, I've got a Sangean table clock radio with a range of about 690 Miles on the AM band and 300 mi. on E-skip FM, with internal antenna. My 1990's GE super radio has similar medium band range. I want to take my Dx'ing on AM/FM to the limits while maintaining good audio quality. What would be the best upgrade radio to do that? Thx and merry Christmas.
@todderbert4 жыл бұрын
Most likely the old school Panasonic RF-2200. The GE Superadios are excellent on AM. If you want a AM/FM performer that is new, the EP-Pro is what I use. Also consider the Sangean PR-D15.

Honestly, take the batteries out when not in use. I really don't like the clock burning up batteries. I'd rather they leave the clock out so when it's off it's OFF !
