You realize if they ever turn on HD at night, DXing will be
history.

And the couple of hundred AM DXers left, most of whom are
anti-radio and luddites, will just be SOL.



I'm not aware of any anti-radio luddites, but if I ever meet one,
I'll be sure to remind him to get rid of both his radios and his
internet connection.

As to DXers, I find that most today are very opposed to changes in
radio, whether formatically or technically, and are very negative
towards the way stations operate. I have disassociate myself form DX
organisaions as they almost all seem to be out to change radio to the
detriment of those of us who work in the field.

Since essentially no radio listening, in terms of percentage, is
skywave night listening, the other poings are moot.

Two things:

1. I question the wisdom of dismissing the hobby of dx'ing in this news
group. Sounds to me like you are trolling for trouble.

He's a well known troll in other hobbie venues.

I haven't checked on him in other news groups. He seems to be reasonable
in this news group in the past but lately he has gone down hill a little
in my opinion.

It is tough to have a high regard for AM DXers these days when they complain
about your management, programming and technical operation, and then send
one after another of false DX reports. As mentioned, the last one (on
Thursday) reported listening to KTNQ with a slogan that has not been used
for 13 or 14 years ("Radio Fiesta") and had a log of musical selections
(KTNQ is talk).

Well I for one would appreciate it if you did not use the news group to
bash some of the people that use it for the right reasons. This is a
public forum so you will just have to tolerate on topic dissimilar
opinion.

You indicate a fairly egregious example in your post but I would point
out that it is very unfair of you to paint the people using this news
group with the broad brush of that example.

This a news group and if someone appears disruptive or if the
information they post is suspect for any reason put them in the kill
file. The news group is an information resource on the hobby of short
wave listening and is only as good as the information that is posted.

I am specifically talking aobut AM (MW) DXers, now SW listeners or DXers. As
I already stated....

We get at least one of those examples a week... and it has been a long time
since we got a truthful AM DX report.

And knowing how there are DXers who are lying does not help those who don't
to understand why verie or QSL returns have declined?

The only hobby venue I visit is this one.
