Rob, Congratulations on AM Station # 2,000-- and for your awesome commitment to keep chasing MW-DX over the past 9 years!
I'm happy to recall that quite a few of those stations were received for the first time on Ultralight radios-- in our early days when you, Richard, Allen and many others showed the MW-DXing community what could be accomplished by skilled, determined DXers using basic pocket radios. You were also a pioneer in the Ultralight Longwave DXing niche group-- the "frozen fingered fraternity" chasing NDB's out in the winter cold on icy back yard decks. You've accomplished practically every goal possible in pocket radio DXing-- except maybe pushing your luck chasing 1 kW Kiwi stations on an Oregon cliff during a summer rainstorm? I'll save a spot at Rockwork 4 for you! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Ross" <[email protected]> To: "IRCA AM List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 9, 2017 6:27:52 AM Subject: [IRCA] AM BCB DX…..Station # 2,000 Logged Hi Guys: Finally heard AM Station # 2,000 and it was a Mexican!
