Domestic Medium Wave AM Radio Broadcast DX Listening
My GE Superradio III (Yes, it features analog tuning but offers very high selectivity and also great sensitvity as well for domestic AM band DX'ing. ) The loop antenna which is called a "Select-A-Tenna" which has a tuning control and requires no power to operate and works very well to enhance the reception on the Superadio III by simply setting the loop next to the radio and adjusting it. No direct connections required! Sometimes I will place the "Select-A-Tenna" loop next to my Sony Walkman radio or any other radio receiver that has a built in ferrite loop antenna to improve the AM band reception on it. You can do a Google search on this radio as well as this "Select-A-Tenna" AM radio loop antenna if you want more information about it. I also just acquired a Terk AM Advantage Loop antenna which is similar in performance to the Select-A-Tenna Loop antenna.
Domestic MW AM Broadcast Radio Listening Log of AM Radio Stations Heard In The Provo, Utah Area And Vicinity.
I
am starting to keep a log of local and distance radio stations I am
hearing here in the local Provo, Utah area as of April, 2012 on the standard AM
broadcast band. I am mainly using my GE Super Radio III radio receiver with the "Select-A-Tenna" loop antenna or the radio in my car if I am on the road. Some of the information such as station power and other technical data on each station was looked up on either the FCC website or at radiolocator.com
I will keep up dating this reception log as I discover new AM radio stations.
