Congratulations on your reception of 560-KMON for the new 47th state of Montana. That's a pretty impressive reception-- even if you needed to use your Elad FDM-S2 SDR to do it! (just kidding) Actually the real masters of mixing Ultralight and SDR-DXing are the Japanese, who switch from one style to the other as if it was second nature. Both Hiroo Nakagawa and Satoshi Miyauchi (famous Japanese SDR-DXers) carried their hot-rodded PL-380's around like side arms, during our Rockwork 4 ocean cliff DXpedition in July. They could teach quite a few North Americans how to appreciate both styles of DXing. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Ross" <[email protected]> To: "IRCA AM List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 23, 2016 5:45:12 PM Subject: [IRCA] AM BCB DX……11 NEW Station + NEW STATE # 47 Heard Hi Guys: Well, The Great Conditions continue …Here is my Report for the last 2 Days with 11 NEW Stations heard and after 40 years of DXing I have finally logged MONTANA for NEW STATE # 47 Heard!
