The chat channel over at DXER.ca/blab is hopping tonight.

I will be interested to see how this all plays out. I'll be reading the reviews.
Not that I have much of a "horse in the race" as 95% of my DXing is
after-the-fact, sometimes a few hours after and sometimes a few weeks after.
This is somewhat out of necessity as peak DX time (local sunset typically
around here) lands right in the middle of family dinner, something that can
stretch over two hours from the start of prep to the clean-up of the last dish
or utensil. Fortunately, by allowing time-shifting of listening, SDR file
capture has taken away some of the "recluse during good DX time" problems many
of us had pre-2005 or so. One can do normal things with family and friends at
normal times. DXing can be done at some otherwise-useless time such as the
middle of the day waiting for work being done on the car.
Still there will be a few times when I'll be DXing live. Sometimes this will be
on my home gear, sometimes on a remote SDR, and sometimes in the car at a beach
(where, presumably, I could hook to the chat site via cellphone web browser).
One thing I can do is publicize this chat channel on some other lists. That may
generate more users covering more geographic areas.
