I am back into dxing as I have gone into hibernation with this hobby
since I was a fanatic in the 1980's and 1990's. Anyway, I got a new
radio yesterday in the mail, a Grundig Satellit 750, set up my antenna
including figuring out a ground and am back at it. A few observations
that I have quickly made is that sadly there are quite a few stations
missing since I last signed on such as Radio Canada and Radio
Netherlands.

Hello, Angus. Yes, a number of commercial shortwave stations have
gone off the air in recent years. But with solar activity improving,
perhaps you will have fun now with the ones that are left.

You can probably get more of a discussion going about this in the
newsgroup rec.radio.shortwave. In fact, someone was just discussing
the Satellit 700 there. This group (rec.radio.amateur.dx) is for
amateur radio, and of course the Satellit 750 can't transmit. Of
course some hams also do SW DXing of commercial stations, but you'll
likely have better luck in the other group.

Thank you for your kind words Patty. I reposted this in that group.
