Millennium 800 Radio Shack Speakers and an Outlet Ground.

I've used these outlet grounds for years. I think they do pretty good! What do you think? And no, I use mostly external mag loops so I'm not going to bother with Earth Grounding. I'm just trying to ground better indoors. I have good success for the most part! I also use a lot of toroid rings and clip ons.

The Qodosen SR-286 VOK

16:05 UTC 9435 KHz. From North Korea to Seattle Washington USA. Antenna is a LOG made by ANTENNAZ out of the UK, sold on eBay. Great passive antenna! If you have 60 Square Feet of yard, which is small, you're in! The combo is great!

My Blessed 800 Millennium

7:30 UTC on RNZ International from Seattle Washington USA. This is au naturelle! With good old School Radio Shack high Impedance stereo! My best settings to get it to sound just so or it's best, is to go straight AM. Slow AGC. 4 0 Bandwidth. No Bass and No Treble. Know your radios and know what sounds absolutely best! Mostly to you! For a radio that's well over 20 years old, mine sounds great! It has some limitations but Old School Sounds are beautiful! There are a couple of cons, like you can't run the lamp without draining the sound on strictly battery. You generally can't Sync on Battery. You have to go straight AM. Your AGC, generally has to run Slow and definitely No Attenuation! But heck! If it ain't a darn good sounding Premium Rig! I don't know what is!! Enjoy! As an aside, even NZ is losing it's patience with Canks Mc Taco Tits! Lol! 25th Amendment Now! Please! And for God Sakes no more Racism in this world! As an Internationalist and Shortwaver, and as a True American! I've bloody well had enough!! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR PRESIDENT 2028! 😁

Eton Elite Executive

When these were overstock and on steep discount I ordered 3 for about $60 each! I did that so that I'd always have a good one! This radio is dynamite! One of the most underrated portables around!! That's why they're back up as high as $200! Take a listen. This is North Korea in English, just this morning from Seattle Washington USA.

Around 5:00 UTC from Seattle Washington USA on the MLITE 880 and interestingly, my modified MLA 30 plus with Copper Loop. Thick copper tubing. There's a Brit on eBay selling these copper loops but also showing people exactly how he sized it and so I repurposed some copper tubing I had from a different,old project, since discarded. It turns out that this combo works very well with the MLITE 880! As you can hear on my video example.
