- Thread-topic: 3.7 Inch "Baby FSL" Receives S9+ TP-DX
Hello All,
Â
The new-design 3.7" FSL is one of several experimental models being tested in an effort to design low cost, high performing models for the MW-DXing community. The 3.7 inch FSL is of a very tiny size (a photo is posted at https://app.box.com/s/e8pv0rh2ydoeyu6rjqewjc8yq3dsd2kr Â), but it uses the highest sensitivity Litz wire available on the commercial market (1162/46). This is the same high-sensitivity Litz wire used in the monster FSL models on Oregon cliff DXpeditions. The 3.7" Baby FSL is designed to be constructed for under $100 in parts, but it packs a veryÂpowerful performance punch in its tiny size.
Â
After completion of the first test model this morningÂthe antennaÂwas tested out in the reception of 1566-HLAZ at 1507, and received this Japanese service signal at an S9+ level on the CC Skywave (as shown in the photo linked above). Without the FSL antenna boost theÂUltralight radio had no reception of HLAZ at all.
