Hey all, I'm interested in radio DXing (I'm an astronomer and radio astronomy is a big part of it), but as for equipment my setup goes as far as a FM/LW/AM receiver with CD and cassette players :) My budget of time and money wouldn't extend to much more at the moment (in final year at uni), so getting more sophisticated setup other than a shortwave reciever or two wouldn't really be an option...
I'm located in Ireland and so far I've picked up a good few stations, mainly in Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Britain; as well as India). But I'd like to extend as far as South America, Russia and Africa if possible. Anyone know of any powerful broadcasters that I could look out for with my humble setup? How long should I listen to each station for (to recognise callsigns etc)? What callsigns are known? Is there an online resource centre of public station callsigns that I can look up? Any help or tips to a n00b would be greatly appreciated at the mo. If I'm not reading a book or watching a good film, there's no doubt you can find me in my kitchen with a toasted sandwich, a glass of milk, a few blank recording tapes and a radio :) -- Conor www.conorfarrell.com ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected]
