Hi Guys: Conditions were fairly good tonight and seemed to favour the North West and the South with Stations from Minnesota and Wisconsin dominating. However, the Only NEW Station for the ULR LOG

Rob: I must admit luck plays large in hearing DX. However, I feel experience tends to even things out some. It also helps to involve yourself in the DX community. Good DX everyone. Richard

Hello All, Thanks for sharing many interesting opinions about this subject! In general I agree with Rob's eloquent summary of a DXer's likelihood of success (as given in the thread title), but in

Luck definitely has a lot to do with it and now that I am retired I am having a lot more luck! Around 5 PM EST on 1470 WLMC Georgetown SC was way on top with only 1kw LoL, I don't know how that works

So true! The other night I was thumbing through the dial and hit 1120 AM. I actually wanted to begin listening to a local station at 1140, but stopped because I was hearing oldies music. Interestingly

Hello All, Another couple of stations logged on Ultralight last evening as follows: 612 - RUSSIA - Radio Radonezh, Kirkino 19:18 UTC Dec 3 man in Russian, ID Ultralight Station #

This is my most recent article and members here will see some familiar radios in it. http://www.seedforsecurity.com/article.php?articleid=102 -FARMERIK

Well, there is that little thing called "the law of diminishing returns". It seems to begin just after logging #200. 73, Chris Knight Phoenix, AZ

Hmmm... Its like my R-911 is on nearly constantly allowing FM/AM radio on demand. Bizness news, General News, Music, etc. I have to put up with indoor electrical noises from computer, microwave,

In my view it's more like 90 percent luck and 10 percent effort. As far as time spent listening, I agree that the more you listen, the more you'll log. I usually spend over an hour DXing, sometimes

While a fine little receiver, the PL-360 has a fix bandwidth of only 3 kHz, not the narrower ones you desire. In that regard a better choice may be the PL-606 with bandwidths of 1, 2, 3, and 6

A barely audible, unreadable signal was heard fading in and out on 1566 kHz between 1313 and 1340 GMT today. There was also a trace of a signal on 1593 at 1313-1328. Yesterday it was much the

Yes Allen......I have always said that Dxing Success is 90 % Luck....and the other 10 % is Luck!!! Being in the right place at the right time most times outweighs any planning we can do to hear DX!!

I chose the PL-360 because the ferrite rod is external, and easy to wrap pick up coils over. You can plug in other ferrite antennas also, without going inside the radio. So you might look at that

Hello To All, After tuning the band for a good part of the later afternoon now that the Trans-Atlantic signals are audible much earlier at this location , the search for that 900th Ultralight station

There is a doc in the file section: how to bypass the tecsun pl 310 / 390 with external antenna. pl390 is the best? Marc -- The "Penguin" has arrived - and he's not going away - ever. What's on
