Default BCB DXers...............

OK, I *finally* have this great 30x30 Diamond Loop mounted on the back of my
turntable and I'm ready to shoot for some 'RARE DX' on the broadcast band.:-D

IMO my best BCB radio (without a loop) isn't even close, it's the GE P-780,
but to do some 'rare iding' of stations, what would be the best choice of
going about this? Use the GE P-780 {?} that is analog and no headphone jack
or move the DX-398 over to the table where I'd have the luxury of digital and
the headphones?

It's a TOUGH choice IMO. Idea anyone? Ron H?

want to give props to Mark here in the group (nm5k) on the loop. Makes the
radio shack pieces look like toys (really.) I've captured some pretty far away
stations on just the turntable and rat shack loops so I'm pumped. I really
recommend, as I'm sure the BCB dxers already know, that a great loop (or
phasing units outside) is imperative as well as a turntable. This loop tunes
from 530 -1830kc so I'm excited about hitting some stations and actually
hearing them well.

What time, day or night is when you've captured your most impressive BCB dx?
