CLE 278 -- March 2022




This CLE was a "custom" event. Participants could do what they wanted. I did the following:

NDBs to Search For: Any

Frequency Range: Full (198 Kc to 530 Kc)

Special feature(s): Use my 1941 vintage RBA-1 Navy Receiver.

The antenna was a PA0RDT active miniwhip at 16 feet.

No external audio processing. All live listening -- headphones and ears.

This was just a boy and his (82 pound) radio (and 47 pound power supply) event!



Results: 94 NDBs logged.

Listening Time: 3 to 4 hours, primarily Saturday night / Sunday morning.

Conditions: Quiet. Propagation was normal for the end of the NDB hunting season - good, but not great. I heard none of the usual western US or Canadian beacons.

Farthest beacon heard: 391 DDP in Puerto Rico - 1590 miles.
