Re: Try Something New This Winter!
I judge my DX receiving systems by distance, but not quantity of logs received.
For a contest over a given n period:
Longest distance winter groundwave MW reception.
Longest distance residual noon

IRCA has a stations heard contest. This year (I think it's different
every year? Not sure) the stations' calls need to have certain
letters in them to "count". A little easier for IRCA since

I would like to encourage us as a group to look at running some form of "challenge" or contest in 2020 to really get our group moving and encourage more operations.
Does anybody have any

Re: Looking for analog receiver suggestions (not necessarily modern nor ultralight)
Hey Bill.
Awesome article! Looking at the picture, it seems they used 2 ceramic filter for the AM section.
You reported about dial stiffness or tightness. I could not find the article, but I remember

Re: Looking for analog receiver suggestions (not necessarily modern nor ultralight)
Hi Jay,
The Sangean PR-D3 does produce a degree of soft muting (probably equal to the Crane CC 2E). This is most noticeable when the PR-D3 is used 'barefoot'. Most non-DXer listeners use their radios

Another group reports the tx switched off on 13 January.
