Thanks Peter, In Hong Kong i was actually looking for 648-Nepal, although I would have taken 648-Botswana in a heartbeat :-) The problem with DXing in Hong Kong is that you have a zillion China statio

Awesome catch, Peter! 1413-Vesti FM in Russian was also a thrilling catch for me at sunrise during a trip to Hong Kong (in April 2019), received on a 7.5 inch loopstick CC Skywave stuck out of a 12th

Thanks, Les, but FSL-DXing results depend entirely on the skill, knowledge and determination of the operator-- not to mention the willingness to test all of these in subfreezing cold every morning in

Awesome reception with the PL-360, Peter. Once the shipping complications clear up I'll be honoured to supply you with a new model for your DXing adventures. You certainly get the maximum long range p

Paul's 1107-Magic Talk clip from 1441 UTC on March 13th (at 7,250 miles on a 5 inch antenna) was already awesome... but if you are going to record a classic Disco-Era tune like that, you definitely ne

Hi Chris, Thanks for listening to this wild 531 clip, and for your comments! Yes, tolerating something like this wacky recording for 11 minutes is above and beyond the call of duty. Your report of Que

The following wild, 11 minute long 531 kHz S9 mix of 2PM and a presumed 4KZ was received on the Rockwork 2 ocean cliff near Manzanita, Oregon during a sunrise session on March 3 this month. The proble

Thanks Chris, Your help is greatly appreciated, Neither of the eastern Australian 531 kHz stations (4KZ or 2PM) shows up very much at the "Kiwi Cliff" in Oregon in August, when I usually chase DX from

Thanks Paul and Paul (no mistake), Your suggestions are appreciated. Paul W., I'll email Al if this mystery isn't cleared up by tonight. Gary

This strong 531 kHz Australian station with an oldies music format was received at 1441 UTC on March 3 at the Rockwork ocean cliff during a sunrise session, and features an ID, "Radio Five Thirty One"

Thanks Art and Craig, Craig, these compact , reworked FSL antennas are the way to go-- just ask Paul, up in Alaska! He mentioned to me yesterday that he thinks his 5 inch FSL outperforms a 4 foot air

How wild is ocean cliff DXing? Well, here is a minor sample. At 1415 UTC on March 3rd a 6 inch (15cm) FSL antenna set up on the Rockwork 2 plunging cliff near Manzanita, Oregon (USA) tracked down 531-

Thanks Dave, <<< You observed that “In the Squelch mode you can also toggle the Squelch speed by short pressing the Tuning knob to switch between “Off, Fast and Slow””. On my example a short press in

Thanks to Satoshi Miyauchi of Sagamihara, Japan for detailed information on the Squelch capability of the XHDATA D-808 portable. My 10-page mouse print manual for the D-808 said nothing about a Squelc

Hi John, If you are looking for a "legit" Ultralight, any of the 5 models covered in the 2015 Ultralight Radio Shootout will fit the bill. One of those is your CCPocket-- which I agree isn't exactly i

With nasty weather forecast for 3 out of 4 days I knew that the latest DXing trip to Manzanita, Oregon would never be boring! The weather was indeed the most severe ever faced during ocean cliff live

Paul Walker is indeed the Master of live FSL DXing in subzero temperatures, but the Rockwork cliff in Oregon has far more tricks up its sleeve to put Extreme DXers to the test! This video shows the hi

Those are awesome DXing results, Peter! Good luck tracking down more long range DX on your barefoot XHDATA D-808. 73, Gary DeBock (N7EKX) Ultralight Group Co-Founder Puyallup, WA, USA

Thanks Tom (and Paul), Your interest is appreciated! 73, Gary

Hi Dave, Hmm-- very interesting! My D-808 manual says nothing about a squelch capability, so apparently not all D-808 manuals are created equal. I'm current on an ocean coast DXpedition and unable to
