[IRCA] Modified E100 Ultralight TP Loggings to Date



Hello Guys,
 
     Very shortly a series of articles will appear in  the AM-DX club 
bulletins giving full details on the work of three Washington  state experimenters 
(John Bryant, Guy Atkins and myself) to create a modified  Ultralight radio with 
unprecedented sensitivity and selectivity.  This  radically transformed E100 
has already thrilled us with amazing TP and DU  receptions, both with the new 
Slider loopsticks (40/44 Litz wire wound on  movable coils, shifting along a 
ferrite bar to peak DX signals), and an  extremely effective Murata CFJ455K5 
narrow IF
filter, providing razor-sharp selectivity.  John has also succeeded in  
adding an inductive coupling loop to the stock ferrite bar, providing a method  for 
transferring external antenna DX signals through a simple plug-in  jack.
 
     In my own personal experience, this modified E100  can easily outperform 
any stock portable on the planet (ICF-2010, E1, etc.).  Easily!
 
     To give an indication of what it can accomplish,  here is a list of the 
loggings made on this DX-chasing monster, both  in Grayland and Puyallup, WA.  
All these were using the 7.5" Slider  loopstick and CFJ455K5 narrow filter:

     Total TP loggings on modified E100:  30  stations, 12 DX Countries...  
and a lot of FUN!
 
     When the articles appear teaching you exactly how  to transform your 
modest E100 into an outrageously effective DXing sensation, I  hope you all will 
take advantage of this chance for a supremely exciting DX  season.
 
     73,  Gary DeBock
