Thinking about cutting a new antenna?

Hearing a Pirate broadcast?

Doing any DX'ing ??

Yep! See my weblog where I just posted some reception reports:

Someone that lives near me was picking up Deutsche Welle's english to asia broadcast, which I can hear as well. Unfortunately it's not at a very convenient time of day for me. There's also a log of the "Christian Media Network" on WBCQ, a music-only broadcast on Radio Thailand, and some drivel from North Korea.

I'm looking forward to the release of the Kaito 1108 and the Redsun RP3000.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that new Redsun too. If it equals the
performance of its predecessor, there will be a lot of guys lined up.

Not a whole lot of dxing these days. But I did tune in an old favorite
I hadn't caught for quite a while: Heard Radio Australia on 9580 while
getting ready for work.

A signal report for some Insomnia radio. I've been picking up the BBC on
5020 kHz early in the morning here (Seattle). 5 AM/12:00 UTC. But it
wasn't showing up in any BBC frequency lists for the Pacific or Africa.
Then last night/early this morning, I tuned in and found that it was the
Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp. They must switch over and relay the
Beeb after it gets too late in the evening there. Listenable if you go
for the lower sideband as the Cuban (R. Rebelde?) next door (5025 kHz)
is about the same strength. (S2 with thunderstorms).

I think they've been relaying BBC during their overnight time for a good number
of years. You might also try zero beating the freq., as generally reported they
are on 5019.9 or so.
