Any Radio DXers around here ?

What are you chasing? Longwave, SWL, HAM, Medium Wave, FM ,Utitlities, HF
Whats your setup?
Whats your best catch, and when and did you get verification

Ill start of I am into SWL mainly 90 and 60 meter tropical band DXer

I am using a JRC NRD 545 and a Drake R8B and a bunch of makeshift antennas since I am living in a high rise in Vegas so I have no ground options and alot of QRM to deal with. My best catch was probally radio Mocambique in Mozambique back in 88 listed at 10 Kw and I did get a QSL.

I caught a little TV DX a few years back using a radioshack handheld Television while at work. I would pick up Ohio stations in Toronto in the early morning. But one time I picked up a Florida station in Toronto showing the Home Shopping Network, it was coming in so clear I still wonder if someone was rebroadcasting it.

I love VHF (2 meter) band openings. I don't care for big HF pile-ups.
I talk almost every night from Ohio into Alabama.

That happend to me for awhile also. Then I got bored with them and went back to chasing the signals.

I'll probably do it again sometime. Still have all of my equipment although it is vintage 1988.

I was driving I-75 between Dayton, OH and Cincinnati one night and picked up an FM broadcast station on 95.5 from Corpus Christi, TX.

Yea that?s a good catch since car stereos are not so hot in sensitivity or selectivity

i like to dx when i have some time, but not much.. been meaning to rig up some more shite sometime..

mostly SWL lately, need to work on some antennas though, so i can get something interesting rather than just jesus talk out of the US.
