"John Plimmer" wrote in message ... Yes, the single most important location for outstanding DX on LF, MW and HF is to site yourself right on the beach. Much discussion has taken place about the "ideal" DX site and there is considerable consensus among serious DXer's that DXing on the waters edge at the beachside gives a major boost to signals. Good luck in finding the Holy Grail of DX sites -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods RX Drake R8B, SW8 & ERGO software Sony 7600D GE SRIII BW XCR 30, Braun T1000, Sangean 818 & 803A.

Hello all, I am beginning the process of searching for some land on which to build a home. It will be located in the Pacific Northwest, in a fairly rural area. I expect to indulge myself heavily in my radio hobbies, including ham radio (especially on the HF bands) as well as a fair amount of Short Wave Listening. I would like to solicit advice on how to evaluate a potential location for quality of radio reception. Aside from the obvious (i.e., a high elevation, away from high voltage power lines, plenty of room for antennas, etc.), are there any other attributes I should consider to ensure the location will be conducive to my radio activities? Dennis Hi I totally agree. I live a couple blocks from the beach, and when I take my portable down to the beach, I pick up tons of SSB frequencies. I mean a bunch. It's like the signals have an unobstructed line completely. Lucky |
