DXing with Portables
I've noticed a lot of folks getting swept up in the "ultralight" MW
DXing trend. I think the idea is to see who can snag the best DX with the smallest radio. I've always enjoyed playing the same game with HF DXing. I really enjoy taking small portable receivers into RF-quiet zones to see what kind of DX is possible. These endeavors inevitably involve experimentation with reels and other simple external antennas, but sometimes I restrict myself to just using the built-in whips. So, I'd like to ask folks a couple of questions: 1. Which receiver is your favorite for portable DXing? I'm partial to my Sony 7600G, 7600GR, Degen 1102 and 1103 and, of course, my Eton E5. Do some of you have others that you prefer? 2. What is your best DX with a portable? I know I'm not likely to hear the same things I do on my Icom R75, but I still think there's the potential to snag some interesting DX. What's the best DX you've hears on a small portable? Hopefully, this will give us something to talk about other than this silly election, Mike Louisville, KY WA4009SWL |
