matching (inductive coupling loop or coupling with a ferrite core),
noise will very likely be dominated by external noise (instead of

stormwise monster ferrite - worth it?

2010-03-16T16:38:10Z

I want something simple to make.
I'm thinking of better antenna(s) for the RCA superradio and a couple
portable SW radios I have {-the RCA gets stations just fine, it mainly
needs fine-tuning help-}.
I did make a simple passive tuned loop for the SW out of a single turn
of copper grounding rod and a AM radio tuner cap. Worked much better

Peyton Manning: millions in endorsements - Drew Brees: almost nothing

2010-03-16T12:55:15Z

Television commercials featuring Peyton Manning are everywhere, while
Drew Brees is almost invisible. Could this be part of the deal that
Archie Manning worked out for his son in return for throwing the Super
Bowl? It's otherwise hard to understand why the winning quarterback of
Superbowl 44 would be ignored by outfits like Wheaties, while the
