Hi Derek,
Thanks for your comments.
My main antenna at Grayland for the July 12th trip was an
8' (diagonal)
tuned passive loop on a collapsible PVC frame, which was one of the
experimental creations here this spring. It is one of several
variants of the
standard PVC Loop, for which a general article is being wrapped up.
Besides this
collapsible frame variant (designed for travel in a compact car),
there have
been 18" and 2' tabletop PVC Loop variants, 3', 4' and 5' indoor
models, a
7' longwave model, 6', 7', 8' and 9' (side) monster MW models, and
waterproofing designs.
John Bryant has advised me to finish up the basic PVC Loop article
as a
priority project, and deal with the different variant articles
later. The
performance of the 8' PVC Loop at Grayland was a real thrill, and it
has
certainly earned itself a spot in my future DXpeditions. With a
total cost of
only about $65 in parts, it provides a tremendous amount of gain for
the $$.
John and I talked about running an A/B test with his Wellbrook Array
against
the 8' PVC Loop, but we were kind of rushed for time, and never got
around
to it during this trip.
Besides "Sharina the Psychic" on 4BC-1116, there were also strong
MP3's
made of Tahiti-738, 4RN-792, 2YA-567, and KPUA-670 (in Hilo Hawaii)
using this
8' PVC Loop, some of which I plan to upload to the Ultralightdx
Yahoo file
site ( or are available to anyone interested).

Wow...That sounds so clear..that's from the home brew antenna??? How
do I get one of those . Was it it hard to construct?? I think there
was a site where you had the instructions for it ..
I'm a bit of a dim wit when it comes to putting stuff together....
Anywho.. Great job on the recording.. How did the wellbrook do??? I'd
like to do a A/B of the two.. It seems like these ULRs are getting
better ad better.. I'm still surprised how well the T615 does.
What happend to the grundig G3..
Thank you.....

Hi Derek,
You should have the MP3 of 4BC-1116 in Brisbane, Australia (with
"Sharina
the Psychic" show at 1212 UTC, recorded at Grayland) by now.
Sharina's
mumbling speech almost made it necessary for a Psychic to ID the
station, but
fortunately a male co-host gave the web site address
(_http://www.sharina.com.au_ (http://www.sharina.com.au) ) to
provide a positive ID, matching the
data on 4BC's web site.

Hello All,
Further investigation of an MP3 recorded on 1116 kHz at 1214 UTC
reveals
that a web site address matches a program running at the time
on the
4BC
station in Brisbane, Australia, not the 3AK station in Melbourne.
"Sharina's Psychic Encounters" was running from 10-12 PM on Sunday
night on
4BC in Brisbane, and the announcer (Sharina?) gave a web site
address,
along with a promotion for "the leading spiritualist magazine."
Apparently
Sharina the Psychic has a habit of speaking in a mumbling manner,
which makes
her speech border on the unintelligible (especially through a
Murata narrow
filter), leading to the confusion about the station identity. The
booming
MP3 saved the day, however, and finally provided positive station
identification-- no thanks to Sharina.
