Re: Proper DXing

BTW, I DX on the bed for a few reasons. Best reception on that side of the house. Least noisy (both electrical and family). Can watch baseball game without causing interference. And the pup lays down

Re: Proper DXing

I wonder if we can bribe your wife into slipping the skunk into the snowmobile suit? My dogs got skunked once in Manzanillo Mexico. That's a memory I shall never forget.

Re: Proper DXing

My wife gave up trying to figure out years ago why I listen to static on the radio as she puts it. But I'll have to admit that I never DX'ed in bed. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid

Re: Proper DXing

I feel that to some extent each individual determines what is Dx'ing for themselves. I use a Degen DE1105 that replaced my Sangean DT400W. It is dual conversion, not DSP, has virtually no background

Hello All, Nigel certainly hit it on the head, even for the coast-- a real clunker of a morning, which no doubt sent DXers scrambling to check their antennas. It looked like there might be no TP

Re: Proper DXing

Anything I can hear almost anytime just by tuning to the frequency, I don't consider DX. It has nothing to do with the station's power. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid
