Just on a whim this afternoon, I fired up my new modified E-100 Slider and ran into a new station during the middle of the day. It's been a long time since I found a new one in that time frame.

As difficult as they are to receive (except for perhaps the north east) I think there should be a separate category for LW Broadcast Stations. Maybe set up the awards in increments of 5 due to to

Hello All, Thanks to all the DXers who have responded with excellent comments andsuggestions concerning the concept of Ultralight radio LW-DXingawards. There seems to be a universal consensus

I agree with Richard. For LW Broadcast stations, I think it would be better to include that with MW broadcast loggings. Beacons would be a different story! John Cereghin Smyrna DE

Gary: I've always felt stations in the long wave broadcast band (153 - 279 kHz) should be included in the medium wave awards. This should not include NDB and other utilities heard below 530 kHz.

Thanks for the frequencies to look for. I guess at heart I am more of a long range program listener, than a hard core DXer. I do keep a 'log' on 3X5 cards, and get a kick out of hearing skip or any

The European longwave stations are audible pretty much anytime when I listen right after sunset from out at the Granite Pier DXpedition site in Rockport, MA. Of course they are somewhat weaker and

Ever though it's not my personal cup of tea, I'd support a LW or even a SW category if theirs interest. For I'm all for the promoting of this club and for drawing the interest of future members.

Sounds like it could be interesting... except I can't get anything on LW at all on my PL-380 - I'm basically getting 15,00 readings across the entire LW band (although a few higher frequencies may

I guess it's the wrong time of year, but I am on the east coast [CT], and experimenting with new antennas. Are there any LW BC stations using English I should look for this time of year? - FARMERIK

Sounds like a great idea to me. I've already logged several NDBs and would like to see what other folks can do on LW. I logged a few LWBC stations back in the winter with a modified G8 and external

If you want smaller and inexpensive, then you may be out of luck. But if you're willing to pay the price, the 5th-gen iPod Nano may be the ultimate ultralight FM-only DX machine. You also don't get a

Hello All, As most of you are aware, the Ultralight Awards Program was originally setup by John, Rob and me (in early 2008) to provide incentives for DXers to acceptthe challenge of Ultralight

Sure the G8 is not as sensitive as a full sized portable due to no room for a long MW ferrite bar. But on my Tecsun PL-300 (G8) I heard Voice of Russia via Germany on 1323, yes from Minnesota! The

I wonder how many they have left? I couldn’tresist at $25.91 total with shipping and ordered one yesterday. ========================================================== Mike

Smoking deal and the 20% off was a major bonus! Thanks for the heads up! I ordered mine last night and can't wait to play it. Jon
