  • The Radio Shack 2000629 AM FM LW SW SSB portable radio is found! It was under quite a few others I had put away. Forgot I owned this one. Boy am I glad to have rediscovered it. The Medium Wave reception is Great. In this video we explore the Daytime Band with the help of the Terk Advantage Passive Loop.

    I honestly never thought of RadioShack Shortwave radios ever, until just now.

    Too bad 👎 Radio Shack is gone. These radios 📻 are destined 👌 to be vintage. Your friend, Jeff.

    I’ve discovered a medium wave DXing strategy I haven’t heard mentioned anywhere. I call it critical hours tuning. In this strategy I tune for stations with daytime and critical hours power output that I might be able to receive, such as 50KW daytime power within a few hundred miles or 25KW during critical hours. If, for instance, I tune 840 AM half an hour before sunset in Myrtle Beach, SC, I can receive WCEO, a 50KW daytime only station from Columbia, SC that I wouldn’t be able to get during daytime broadcast hours, and once it shuts down at sunset I can’t tune it in at night.

      It is a fun way to hear stations you normally wouldn't catch. My schedule is better in the winter months to chase the critical hours strategy.

    Does it work pretty ok w/o the added 'loop' antenna with it's own antenna? Your turning it for reception. U said you're in basement in last. Just checking things out.

      It needs the loop for weak daytime signals. I'm in a sub floor basement when filming all of my videos. I do FM testing upstairs near windows. The sub floor is a RFI free zone mostly.
