Evan Haydon's 2010 Entry

Stations Heard: 208

Conditions were very good for all of the days except for three days of storms. Band conditions were very good for the middle of the Summer.

My crystal radio has all porcelain insulated variable capacitors. The coils are basket weave 660/46 litz wire. Two pairs of coils. One pair for 530-950 khz. One pair of coils for 950-1700 khz. The dials are 6 inches in diameter with three scales on each: 530-950 khz, 950-1500 khz, and 1500-1700 khz. Two 6:1 vernier drives in series on both the primary and secondary dials with "no play" oldham couplers after each vernier. Bogen output transformer to RCA big can headphones.

My 6 traps are on a separate base and are used between the antenna and the radio on local stations.

The antenna and lead in are 16 gauage stranded silver teflon wire. The antenna is 200 feet long. 20 feet high at each end. 55 feet high at the lead in point. Lead in point is 80 feet from the west end as the antenna runs east and west.

During this time I identified 3 new stations with my crystal radio to add to my all time list of stations heard. I have now identified 540 US and Canadian stations.
