Retekess v115 is already fixed but not yet finishhed. Only left is to apply silicon glue to restrained the ferrite bsr from moving after I put it on the plastic pipe.
Retekess v115's litz wire turns from 65 now to 90, however the litz wire position is different. Instead of being center, it was on the offset side.

We will see the MW radio performance will be improved once it's completed soon!

With a request from Gary de Bock (‪@garydebock7602‬ ) on , I managed to test Tecsun PL-310ET supercharged model here in Tacloban by Ciaerwin Tanpiengco. Using the same concept as PL-380 (peditio.net/utility/pdf/Supercharging_the_Tecsun_P…, the Tecsun PL-310ET is supercharged with 79 turns of litz wire. The NiZn ferite is from Lala an online shopping features bathroom and kitchenware from Lazada. Total inductance is between approximately 500uH on the mid position.
Because of the poor vision, I managed to do it otherwise and got made it at last.
Battery used: Energizer rechargeable AA 2300 mAh x 3 = 6900 mAh

Just then, Tecsun PL-310ET got delivered already on June 11 2025. Already 16 days being waiting since May 26.
Only left to do is to test run a revisited PL-310ET.
Day 1: Daytime Reception on AM and FM/Nighttime reception: Stock vs 200mm
Day 2: Daytime Reception: Stock vs 200mm
Day 3: Daytime Reception: V115 200mm vs PL-310ET 200mm
and a result chart for all mediumwave band on stock vs 200mm
