Re: Good MW reception conditions
Today I replaced the 10-year-old and progressively-deafer-with-every-year Sony CD/radio-player in my Defender with a Pioneer CD/FM/MW/USB-enabled radio.
£39 via an Amazon resaller. The Sony struggled; the Pioneer gets Radio Caroline on 648KHz with truly-listenable qualith even down here in rural Wiltshire. [I'm feeding it via a relay-controlled switchbox/diplexer from an old-style "DX27" 5/8-wave-on-27MHz-CB antenna that's been nibbled-back and peaked on 28.5MHz and so doubles-up to handle 50 Watts of 10M SSB] A 'long'-ish antenna for mobile MW reception is a good thing to use. |
