Hi, Can anybody point to any good website or books to get me started in MW DXing. Also what's the best antenna to use. I currently have an AOR LA350 with the medium wave attachment and a 8M longwire. The longwire seems a bit noisier at my QTH. My radio is an AOR AR7030 plus. I'm located in the UK and would like to receiver American stations if possible. What's the best time to listen and what frequencies should I try. Do I need a better antenna ? Any help much appreciated. BTW I realize this is rec.radio.shortwave but I wasn't aware of a medium wave group Thanks, Mike Ideally, you need a very long beverage antenna for MW dxing or a MW loop antenna. Have a look at the UK's very Medium Wave Circle (MWC), address below: http://www.mwcircle.org/ There is also the BDXC which is mainly SW but covers, MW, FM and pirate loggins: http://www.bdxc.org.uk/ The MWC also sell many publications relating to Medium Wave Dxing, Antennas, Probagation, etc. Im also in the UK, Transatlantic Reception is possible all year round though better in the Winter. Frequencies that come through regulary are 930KHz, CJYQ, 1500KHz,1510KHz, though what you hear depends on the time and the month you listen. At the momemnt before sunrise or 3or 4am UK time may be your best bet, someone may be able to offer further advice on listening. |
