For NL, way back after CBL went off when there was no Toronto station I got
740 in IL once. From WI which is much better towards the ENE than here in
IL 750 using Phased BOGs comes in sometimes. //990 has shown up a couple
times. 1140 CBI once. Cx that bring them in typically are also good for
lower latitude TA's...ie Spain everywhere. CKNB 950 is a regular when using
those ENE BOGs in WI but never a trace in IL even with the DKAZ array beam
steered ENE. The effect of my WI place being on a bluff about 150 ft above
the Lake Michigan shore and being a bit closer to them, I presume.

Defunct Maritimes on 720 and 780 were possible with Phased BOGs in IL even
though I am closer than 15 miles to both Chicago superpowers. 73 KAZ

Congrats Tim!

You give me hope for AM here in West Michigan. For living a half hour from 
me, your catches are impressive. But after dealing with AM in East Asia, I'm 
still far too unmotivated to bother with it here without special equipment 
to pick up anything distant. Just not worth it anymore when the AM content 
is so dull.

Subject: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

I had hopes of hitting #2000 before the year ended, and that goal was
accomplished yesterday afternoon when a faint 1490 KLGR was heard.  I 
don't
count call changes and all logs between 530-1710 kHz have been from my 
same

suburban west Michigan location.

I started my logbook in 2009 with a "barefoot" DX-440 that was good for a
few hundred stations, but I wanted more!  Enter the Quantum Loop, which
worked wonderfully with the DX-440, and netted me a few hundred more
stations including my first Trans-Atlantic station (1134 Croatia) and
several more TAs to follow, most of which are now history.  Still wanting
more, but reaching the limit of the Q Loop, I knew it was time to go
bigger.  I bought a 500 FT spool of wire and laid it on the ground in a
straight line, connected it to the DX-440, and started logging a whole new
mix of more distant stations.  I learned more about BOGs and discovered 
how

Neil Kazaross was phasing two of them and soon went back to DX Tools and
purchased a Quantum Phaser to try it for myself.

It didn't take long to hit #1000 with this setup.  At this point I'm
pushing the DX-440 to its limit, so I decided to try SDR and eventually
opted for the Perseus which I still use today.  A reversible D-KAZ loop 
was

also added to the mix a few years ago.

Some obligatory stats since starting this adventure in 2009: 47 states
heard with AK, HI & DE still needed (keep dreaming).  Most distant catch:
702 2BL Sydney @ 9,345 miles/15,039 km.  Nearest unheard: WBCH @ just 59
miles!  169 graveyarders and 37 countries heard on MW.  Recordings of some
of my more interesting catches are posted to YouTube here:

Happy New Year & Good DX,

Yes, my AM and FM Totals have really grown since getting the SDR. Spent a lot 
of years concentrating on SHORT WAVE DX, and my BCB DX Totals suffered for it, 
but I'm slowly crawling from the wreckage!!!

Nope……..I don't have WBCH either!! Cleveland is a Big problem for me on 1220 
Khz.

I also hear WGNY, WJUN, WKRS, and WSLM quite a bit. That 250 Watter from 
Western Michigan hasn't showed up here yet!!

Keep at it Rob, you're gaining exponentially on us old-schoolers with your
SDR...

Tim is in west Michigan, so is WBCH (Hastings, 1220). What's the story there,
Tim? I have not heard it either. It's on my target list. Rob, have you? I'm
curious.

Mind you, I never heard 600 CBC LPRT in Bancroft ON before it moved to FM
earlier this year. But I'm told the station was inaudible beyond the town
limits. (I have heard 40-watt CBC LPRTs from farther away).

Hi Tim:

Congrats on your 2000 AM'ers hit recently!! An Amazing feat for the time 
period involved!

I am 14 Stations from the 2,000 Mark but over a much longer time period. I have 
also heard 47 States from here in London, Ontario.

I still need Hawaii, Alaska, Idaho and Oregon.

For Provinces,  I just need Newfoundland and the Territories.

I am not too much farther East of you and I have had quite good luck logging 
DELAWARE, I'm sure you will get them eventuallly!

Here are the 6 Stations I have logged from Delaware, maybe you can snag one of 
these???

1260 WNRK
1450 WILM
900   WJWL
1280 WSFD
1150 WDEL
1410 WDOV

I hear 1450, 1150, and 1410 fairly regularly, so they may be your best bets!

Re: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

[Neil Kazaross]

Congrats Tim! Glad to see you've hit 2000! Glad to read of your great
successes using the antenna systems I suggest. I don't keep and exact count
here and also don't count call changes but a several years ago and pre
Perseus use an informal count had me slightly above 2000. I had the
benefits of two decades here and some great TA cx aided by Phased BOGs and
some channels with a couple of TA's logged on them. Perseus has been a
great help and I have been amazed at what I'd left on the table for logs
and the ID's one can pull out under the dominant under the dominant. I
think if I had to guess I've got about 2500 logged here in Barrington IL
over 22 years. You hitting 2000 since 2009 is remarkable.

As for DE  two here in IL. 900 pre-sunset about 2:50 pm in Dec years ago
with Phased BOGs before other stuff faded in. 1290 dug out with a portable
when reported on day power for a 76ers game again years ago.

In WI I managed to log your 47 states in fewer that 20 sessions at the
superb QTH. Lake MI to my east makes the eastern stuff lots easier than
here in IL (except for DE). Putting some distance from Chicago makes the
more difficult (for Chicagoans) states like ID and NV reasonably easier
with Phased BOGs during good sunset skip times. But no DE even with many
tries since then and sometimes Phased BOGs aimed right at them. Checking
patterns for DE they have no stations that put much power this way. But
eventually you'll get them if you aim at them. I'd use Phased BOGs to
concentrate the beam and to minimize back end QRM.

As for AK, someday when cx are much better northerly (give it a couple more
years in the sunspot cycle) you'll have a chance with that D-KAZ north. If
sunrise, expect at least some carriers from Japan/Korea. The morning I had
Japan here I was stoked for AK and CK-750 didn't have any audio much of the
time or was off. But the program I copied I pinned down as Utah with WSB
phased out even though using Phased BOGs aimed 320 deg.

I still look for HI in DU cx. Many channels have Mexican QRM in the same
cx. 1500 seems a good shot but it seems low powered domestics are in there
near SR even if I can get rid of KSTP and aim the D-KAZ array beam WSW.
I've listened to many of Mark D's recordings from central MN at SR and I've
been able to confirm the SF Bay area Viet stn for him on 1500 but no trace
of HI. So this doesn't seem easy.

Congratulations on the accomplishment Tim. I hit the #2000 mark last 
year, but it took me a lot longer. The Perseus has certainly helped 
me push up the total too.
I hate to be negative, but I don't like your chances on AK at the 
moment.  Even here in Alberta I have yet to hear Alaska this season -  a 
far cry from the 2008-2010 period, where I was even beginning to 
consider some AKs as regulars.   Hoping those days will return in a 
couple of years as we head for solar minimum. And if you're missing DE, 
I really don't like my chances out here!

Thanks Saul,

This may require me to setup a temporary BOG or loop outside aimed directly
at DE to cross this state off my list since neither antenna favor this
bearing at all.  Rhode Island?  Only one in the logbook and it's 630 WPRO.
Canadian provinces still needed: all the hard ones!  Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia, NT, etc.  I did snag New Brunswick via 540 just before CBGA1 went
silent.

Marc, thanks for the tip.  I think 1150 and 1410 are probably my best bets..

1150 is indeed one good option for DE. 1410 also can get out, Tim, and you don't
have CKSL London ON in the way anymore there. DE 1330 also can do well in
semi-auroral cx here. Others heard are on 900, 1280, 1290, 1450, 1600. I'm about
500 miles out, so not that far. You're on the west side of MI, and from the ease
you get my targets from out west, and TPs (I have none here save hets), I can
well imagine you'll find DE a challenge. What have you heard from RI? What about
the Cdn provinces?

Congrats on your milestone, and in fairly short order to boot!

Subject: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

I had hopes of hitting #2000 before the year ended, and that goal was
accomplished yesterday afternoon when a faint 1490 KLGR was heard.  I don't
count call changes and all logs between 530-1710 kHz have been from my same
suburban west Michigan location.

I started my logbook in 2009 with a "barefoot" DX-440 that was good for a
few hundred stations, but I wanted more!  Enter the Quantum Loop, which
worked wonderfully with the DX-440, and netted me a few hundred more
stations including my first Trans-Atlantic station (1134 Croatia) and
several more TAs to follow, most of which are now history.  Still wanting
more, but reaching the limit of the Q Loop, I knew it was time to go
bigger.  I bought a 500 FT spool of wire and laid it on the ground in a
straight line, connected it to the DX-440, and started logging a whole new
mix of more distant stations.  I learned more about BOGs and discovered how
Neil Kazaross was phasing two of them and soon went back to DX Tools and
purchased a Quantum Phaser to try it for myself.

It didn't take long to hit #1000 with this setup.  At this point I'm
pushing the DX-440 to its limit, so I decided to try SDR and eventually
opted for the Perseus which I still use today.  A reversible D-KAZ loop was
also added to the mix a few years ago.

Some obligatory stats since starting this adventure in 2009: 47 states
heard with AK, HI & DE still needed (keep dreaming).  Most distant catch:
702 2BL Sydney @ 9,345 miles/15,039 km.  Nearest unheard: WBCH @ just 59
miles!  169 graveyarders and 37 countries heard on MW.  Recordings of some

[Les Rayburn]

Congratulations on reaching this milestone in such a short period of time! I’ve 
been MW DXing for over a decade, and haven’t come close to your success. It 
proves the old adage that nothing beats “time between the headphones.” 

Like many, I put too much emphasis on the technology. Always searching for a 
better receiver, better antenna, better phaser. Far better to just use the 
tools you have and get busy! 

Thanks for being an inspiration.

I've got a ways to go to get to 2000, that's for sure. I could probably
