Last week someone posted a "wouldn't it be great if we had a
live DX spotter chat window web site 100% dedicated to SWBCing
and/or MW DXing ?"

You know, a place where you could quickly sign in and post an alert that
you're hearing HCJB on 9560 khz or Voice of the Voyager on 6160 khz...
or there is a great TA opening to the West Coast...

Show of hands: Who would use a system like this?

I have some free server space and some ideas about domain names that could
be fun...

Anyway... hands!?

XHDATA D-808  View Printable Version 
Monday, March 11 2019

IRCA
Glad you like the XHDATA D-808 Mike. I recently brought one on vacation to
Dunedin FL and I logged about 225 stations in 5 weeks. The farthest was
CFAC 960, in Calgary Alberta. I find the sound at 3 khz AM mode is
excellent for DXing. Jim, back home in the snow

1548 carrier  View Printable Version 
Monday, March 11 2019

Wouldn't you have a better chance at audio using your 7300 as I'd expect it
has better filters? A couple years ago, Tim Tromp showed that 4QD could be
had In the Midwest in March on occasion. I first logged them 2 years ago in
March. They suffer from a lot of slop here in IL at sunrise. I had them a
couple times in the really good DU cx we had late Sept into Oct. 73 KAZ
