As this first decade of the 21st century comes to the end here are some of my notable DX memories for this time periiod. You are welcome to add your own.
1. The most notable for me here in the midwest were the Cuban Wobblers. Their signals were creepy and facinating. They sometimes had very strong signals covering much of North America. They were reported on many frequencies by many DX'ers. I have played back some of my recordings to family members and co-workers. Many people expressed utter disbelief that such signals were actually heard on the radio! Not much has been heard of them by me up here in the recent past but several DX'ers still report hearing them. 2. The biggest change (for the worst) is the profieration of IBOC interference across the band. Many formaly good Domestic and Euro channels are wiped out. Hopefully the next decade will see a reduction or end of this type of signal. 3. The digital equipment age has arrived as an aid for the DX'er. Here we can have several components such as the Internet, various types of digital recording and the new very high quality DSP receivers. Certainly we will see more of this digital world in the next decade. Happy New Year to all.
