Watching. Thank you for doing these SW videos.

[@hamrad88]

You are very welcome and thanks for stopping by.

[@jeff-73]

“zombie shows” lmao. another great vid. thanks!

[@genegene62]

Just received the 990x myself and have a mla30+. I to live in Clearwater Fl countryside area. It looks like the best time to listen would be after 1 am. From your videos due to solar propagation. I have a mfj 1886 ordered, I should receive less ground noise.

[@hamrad88]

Awesome

[@appalachianunderground8474]

I have the PL 990 , I’m very pleased with it as well. It’s on the same mega loop as you have also. Thanks for sharing ✝️🇺🇸👍🏻🅰️

[@hamrad88]

Super.

[@greggaieck4808]

Toms radio room your two Tecsus are cool

[@greggaieck4808]

Toms radio room Tecsun H 50,1x and the Tecsun Pl 9 90x the H 50l has two speakers they sound the same H 50.1x has more bass

[@st.charlesstreet9876]

Thanks Again Tom! Nice side by side comparison of the two. Also, a thank you shout out for the helpful antenna suggestion in getting these weak frequencies. 😎

[@hamrad88]

You are welcome and have a great day.

[@rockitguitar1918]

I just got a tecsun h501x and I like it a lot👍 the sound quality is top notch!!!! I also have a sangean 909x2 and a old Panasonic rf-2900 . All are fun to listen to but I believe the tecsun h501x gets less noise. Thanks for the video and happy New years 🤤

[@hamrad88]

Thanks for the report and have a great new year.

[@sandplasma]

Wow nice, I've been torn about getting the 501x and the 909x2. I'm leaning toward the 909x2 because it has Airband and I live near an airport.

I am 35 miles west of Lubbock,Tx, I also get lots from Nashville. I do get Chinese. I only do late evenings. Just started a few weeks ago.

[@josephworrell4823]

What is the difference between the Tecsun H-501 and H-501x? * The H-501 is for North American users there is basically no difference between the two. * The H-501x, is for the European, Asian and African continents. Of course you can use the H-501 for overseas reception as well. H-501x makes it a little easier to adjust certain settings to better match the SW and LW frequency range and FM tuning step conditions in for the European, Asian and African continents.

[@Nathan1975Liggy]

the little radio blows the big one out of the water, mutch nicer sound and more sensative to me

[@Argiriosk]

Greetings from Greece! Nice comparison video!

[@Ross13ful]

Both nice radios I don’t own them but i do have a tecsun pl-330

[@Xitrun]

I am between them both. Which one would you advice in terms of quality/money? Thanx

[@hamrad88]

That is a hard decesion. I like the bigger 501 with the stereo speakers.

[@Xitrun]

@@hamrad88 but the battery life....

[@hamrad88]

@Xitrun have not done a battery test comparison.

[@greggaieck4808]

Toms radio when you have time you shold do live chat

[@714SNF]

thx for the video! which one is better?

[@hamrad88]

I like the 501x best.

[@tonymagnier9846]

Hey Tom hope you are well. Did you ever getting around to contacting Larry Plummer about his W6LVP loop for LF and VLF (and up to 30megs of course)?

[@hamrad88]

I totally forgot so I send him a message just now and will see if he responds. Thanks for the suggestion and have a great day.

[@hamrad88]

I did get a fast response but unfortunately he is not sending anything for me to review. Sorry and have a great day.

[@tonymagnier9846]

@@hamrad88 I'm afraid you'll have to buy it like the rest of us

[@la5984]

What is a good loop antenna for shortwave from what website

[@hamrad88]

Megaloop 30+ from Amazon. Check it out in my Amazon store here www.amazon.com/shop/hamrad88/list/2719UGNBS7YJ9

[@manoffaith2501]

To me the Pl-990x audio sounds better and clearer.

[@la5984]

What about using alligator clips

[@hamrad88]

That will work but not as good.

[@danvitale923]

There is a new cheap radio that is getting very popular (HRD-700), maybe you could try it...

[@hamrad88]

I will take a look at it.
