[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
For those interested, Hiroyuki OkamuraÂof the growing contingent of Japanese Ultralight radio DXers has posted a video ofÂhis reception of 990-4RO (5 kW in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia) on his "barefoot" 7.5" loopstick C. Crane Skywave modelÂon theÂJapanese coast near Yokosuka, atÂÂ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3R3qUHrZa4 Â 
 
The second compact FSL antennaÂ(a 7"Âdiameter model, composed of 25 Russian surplus 100mm x 20mm x 3mm flat ferrite bars) was shipped to Japan this week. A demonstration video of that model's daytime DX inductive coupling boostÂtoÂ610-KONA (5kW at about 160 miles) on a Sony ICF-S5 (the Japanese-market equivalent of the legendary ICF-S5W portable)Âis posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UISrTBY6gmQ Â
