Default John, How is MW DX going during your "winter"?

Hi Drifter,
Winter static is not a problem here - the summer Tropicl storms are,
and the DX1 is better than most in keeping it quiet.
According to a side by side I did with the Wellbrook ALA 1530 it was
quieter than that as well. Every one who visits my shack compliments
me on how quiet the DX1 is. See:
http://www.dxing.info/community/view...hp?f=17&t=2580

As for avalability, RF Systems still carry the DX1 in their shop at
E550, but I do see Universal does not have it at the moment.

Have fun and good DX

Thanks for reminding me. I have a BC344 to take apart. It has some very
nice big air variable capsassitators that I can use to build deranged
receiving loops.
