Long before IBOC, I had a local 5kw @ 2.5 miles distance. I could hear
(distorted) sidebands to plus or minus 40 Khz. So I called up the local FCC
office and asked what was allowed. Reply was we require sidebands to be -75 dB
down at plus or minus 55 kHz. I'm not the best at knowing technical

Lee,
I too would like to echo the thanks of DX'ers everywhere. One can only
imagine the time you devoted to the effort, truly a labor of love.
I share your frustration with the growing noise levels, but hope to
continue to find ways to combat it--and enjoy AM DXing. The past few
days have

Thanks, Fresh!

I am extremely grateful for your am logbook site. Without it, I would not
have an accurate list of stations in Braille. A magazine for the blind
called the Braille Technical Press published an am log in the late 60's
and, although it quickly became outdated, I desperately hung on to it
Reading the posts by Lee Freshwater and John Callarman left me feeling
saddened and nostalgic. Saddened for the obvious decline of AM radio and
our DXing hobby, and saddened to see two of our legendary DXers signing

Lee, you have put tremendous work into the AM logbook, and it's a directory I
use often. But I can understand when a labour of love turns into, well, labour.
The band certainly isn't what it used to be, and I there certainly are many
worthwhile things to do with the brief blip of time most of

to my work.
And thank you all for the kind words.

Like everyone else, I'm sorry to read this morning's posts from Lee and John,

The domestic radio scene certainly isn't very inspiring, and pessimism seems to

I too read with sadness of the decision to discontinue the AM Logbook site.

For one, I am still very interested in MW DXing. For me, the limiting
factor is that there is no commercial availability of these new and
exciting ferrite sleeve antennas. For those having the physical skills to
make their own FSL antennas the fun and challenges are certainly there. In
my case
I'm wishing the same thing. FSL is a power DX tool in a micro space. I'd love
to see the FSL and the grayland QDFA for commercial release.

While tuning the dial this evening I heard a station in English with Religious

As the evening progressed the signal began to intensify with each peak and at

Way to go Allen!
