Grundig G6 - DXing Morocco on 171 kHz At Night

  • 11 years ago
This is about the Grundig G6 that was able to receive 1 LW signal from Nador, Morocco on 171 kHz using a long wave coupler and a very big box indoor antenna from a box I got from the grocery store. I applied 7 turns of wire and connected it to the LW coupler that is wound with 22 awg magnet wire to the ferrite rod antenna that has 250 turns connected in parallel with the variable tuning capacitor. This video is proof that the Grundig G6 can be used for long wave radio DXing using a external antenna such as a big box loop and 22 to 18 awg hook up wire. The box loop did not have a tuning circuit, just a broadband type connection such as 300 ohms.
