Hi all,
Just joined the group! Have absolutely loved radios my whole life! Getting back into AM ultralight DX'ing with my CCrane pocket, CCrane Skywave and Tecsun Pl-380. Really enjoying reading all the posts! Question #1 Are there any current "competitions" going on? Question #2 Any online groups that I should join or subscribe to (magazines, etc) other than this group? Thanks! Johnny (KC8JDI)

Welcome to the group. I am sure you will find us a welcoming and helpful group. We have a couple of award programs which are on-going, I completed these in my early days. We are the main focus group for the Ultra Light side of the hobby, I am a member of about 12 different "radio" groups. Paul

Just FYI. This year's IRCA DX contest (domestic and foreign) is going on through May 31.... Each year, the IRCA has a contest for DXers. philb

Hi all,Hi Johnny, As for "competitions," (although your meaning isn't completely clear), if you are looking for competitions between Ultralight radios, your timing is phenomenal. The 2021 Ultralight Radio Shootout (pictured) should be completed in a about a week (35+ pages), and will include extremely detailed reviews of the XHDATA D-808 (not an "official" Ultralight, by the way), Radiwow R-108, C. Crane Skywave (both versions), Tecsun PL-330 and Tecsun PL-380. They are in the final "shootout" process now-- and a couple of them have already bitten the dust on various bands (AM, FM, SW and AIR).

I will echo Phil’s comment about the International Radio Club of America. We have an annual contest which is always fun. Check out our Facebook page and visit our website for membership info: www.ircaonline.org

Great! That is so awesome. BCB DX is such a fun hobby. I’m actually hosting this years IRCA convention in Anaheim CA the weekend of June 10-12. Should be fun no mater how many or few show up. Have a great Wednesday and good DX.

Sad I don’t see the 310et in the mix for the shootout, particularly after watching a few head to head between it and the radiwow on YouTube by a Turkish gentleman. I’ll always battle for my boy: 310et ;)) Kidding aside I’ll be waiting for that result. 73s
