Saturday is here and we are now looking at a YouTube from Scotland. We’ve got a video made on a beautiful President Madison and we follow it up with a video looking at the features of the KPO DX5000 Plus and if that wasn’t enough then we look at another video of the DX5000 in AM action. Congratulations to 1642 Scotland for his excellent videos and well worth a subscribe to the channel....

KPO DX5000 Plus been selling by the carton full these part months. Sure people want something different and also some changes made. Below is a photo or two of a KPO DX5000 Plus with a six pin microphone socket and indeed the original microphone has had new internals added. Just a photo but something interesting in our small world of radio....

We’ve all listened to channel 6 AM (27025) the fabled Super Bowl and indeed many stations from many nations often call here and see who replies. Below we’ve got one video from YouTube which shows a station in Mexico listening to stations in the United States and beyond calling. Seems a really good channel to hit the subscribe button so why not consider a listen to see what comes next....

News again this time and it comes in the way of a small and advance notice. It appears that sometime during the summer months Canada will adopt the same 26965-27405 legal channels in FM mode as the United States has done recently. Keep watching the official pages for this to come. Now it’s just an advanced notice. Whose going to lead the FM race when it comes now we must wait and see…...

People ask me to show the videos and so below the latest two I’ve been asked to show. So for Paul from U.K. and Grant I think from Canada below are the videos you sent the link for! Certainly these two look like real beasts of radios but I’m not sure if they are for me? Seems too much to use anywhere I am but thanks for the links and the kindness of you both to write!!...

Great video from the USA this time and it’s a range test video of AM versus FM on the President Thomas FCC AM/FM. Some dealers and others have been making much mischief about distance that FM can achieve and indeed it can shock you. Plus remember when sporadic-e is around then all the rules are broken! Enjoy the video it’s sure to take away some of the darkness that others try to peddle....

Todays inside story is a special one. This time it’s a pre-release Stryker SR-955 HPC. There are a few people to follow about this radio online as much rubbish has been spoken about this! This one isn’t a complete one and has some oddities which will be changed before release. All important numbers. This test piece on AM has 80w power on the swing....

It’s Sunday so it means the Delta Romeo DX Group Net will be alive and kicking later today (news below) on 27.365 USB. You could even hear Gus from Austria testing his new antenna from the mountains of Austria? That’s the thing with radio you’ll never know what you’ll hear unless you take part and have a go! All the details are below....

Makes a change when finally can hear something interesting. As I’m in QRM central it’s always hard to have a good reception. Recorded earlier via the President Martin and Himalaya WB the American super bowl was heard. And remember it legally ok take a listen on 26.805 FM as many American stations are calling there too.
