Hi,

Can anybody point to any good website or books to get me started
in MW DXing. Also what's the best antenna to use. I currently have an
AOR LA350 with the medium wave attachment and a 8M longwire. The
longwire seems a bit noisier at my QTH. My radio is an AOR AR7030
plus. I'm located in the UK and would like to receiver American
stations if possible. What's the best time to listen and what
frequencies should I try. Do I need a better antenna ?
Any help much appreciated. BTW I realize this is rec.radio.shortwave
but I wasn't aware of a medium wave group

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you everybody for the most helpful replies and links, etc.
I have an Uncle who owns a farm. If I could get the battery pack
for my AOR AR7030 plus, who knows, maybe I could set that beverage
up ! Perhaps when I'm more clued up as to where to tune in and when.

Mike
