Receiver test data

And the finest receiver in the world is no substitute for knowlege of the bands, how tie the receiver properly to one or more antennas, etc. Amen! An experienced DXers with an average radio can run circles around a beginner with an expensive, hot rod receiver. Other aspects of the entire signal chain are often overlooked or too quickly dismissed. Here's my list of criteria, in descending order of importance: 1. ionospheric propagation 2. antenna(s) 3. receiving location (RF-quiet, noisy, at the beach for sea gain enhancement, etc.) 4. the DXer's experience 5. receiver 6. luck! I've often felt like luck was at the top (grin)! |
