[IRCA] Slider Loopstick Cancels Out Image Reception

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Guys,
 
     Doing further investigation on a discovery made by  Steve Ratzlaff and 
confirmed by John Bryant, some testing was done on a Slider  E100 tuned to an 
image frequency of local pest KSUH-1450 (on 540 kHz).
 
     Without the coil peaked on 540 kHz, KSUH-1450 was  blasting in on 540 
kHz, sounding like a local.  When the coil was peaked on  540 kHz, however, 
KSUH's image signal went completely down in the noise, barely  audible way under 
legitimate 540 kHz signal CBK in Saskatchewan.  The KSUH  image was completely 
inaudible except when the Slider loopstick  was broadside to the pest, in 
which case is was barely above the noise  level.
 
     The discovery has major implications for those  DXers who love the 
classic Sony ICF-S5W, but dislike its congenital image  problem.  With a Slider 
loopstick, the ICF-S5W would not only drop the  images, but have a huge 
sensitivity boost as well.  The 455 kHz Murata  CFJ455K5 filter can also be 
transplanted into the ICF-S5W, like it has been in  the E100 to provide razor-sharp 
selectivity.  Sounds like an interesting  winter coming up.
 
     73,  Gary  DeBock
