I have developed a bad habit.. lol. I use Zoom H1 handheld digital recorder
when DXing to record all my catches. It's compact and fits in my pants
pocket, which keeps it warm and keeps the batteries from running down
quickly in the extreme cold. It's also SIMPLE and does exactly what I need
without alot of bells and whistles.
It' also runs on 1.. ONE AA battery, unlike other recorders that take 2 or
3 AA's or AAA's.
Well, what I've been doing is.. whenever one pops up on Ebay in good shape
and fully functional with no parts missing... I buy it if I can get a good
deal on it. I have 5 of them right now.
It's like transmitter or console parts that become unobtanium.. Zoom
doesn't make this anymore that I can tell. So I'm buying as many as I can
get my hands on. Some retailers might still have new units, but I can't
afford to buy them new for $ 99 if I want to build up a big supply of them
If you have one in good to excellent shape and will let it go cheap or
relatively inexpensively.. I'll buy it! I don't need any accessories with
it, none. I'll take just the recorder!

... it ruins AM radio reception in Alaska. Northern Lights/Aurora activity
hit on Sunday night. I mean, absolutely RUINS. Even the 50kw Fairbanks and
Anchorage stations are nearly useless. And the big guns from SE Asia.
.250kw to 1.5 megawatts? Useless. While this happens up here, people in the
lower 48 are hearing Spain on AM as far inland as Chicago and Detroit!

I still go outside every morning because I never know what the atmosphere
could bring me. DXing up here is very different then the lower 48 and even
Canada. Anything you think you know about Dxing can somewhat be thrown out
the window, the laws of physics and signals don't always seem to apply up
here.

I've heard everything from a 1KW AM in Norway and a 10kw AM in the Czech
Republic to 400KW blasters from Hungary and the UK!

I know it'll get better real soon, but it's frustrating waiting while
everyone else is enjoying DX.. but what i hear up here on my very modest
set up exceeds most of what others hear in the lower 48.

It seems it's started to recover slightly, a tiny bit already. As one of my
ex bosses said: Other people: Look at the awesome lights
Paul: damn lights, go away
