Same here, David, only with Tennessee. I have logged 67 home state
Hoosier stations but 70 from Tennessee! No WCRN either ... ever.

Agree - For me $850 may as well be $1000 or $2000. I have never owned
an expensive rig for any bands that I DX on. Look at the Sony HD Tuner
for FM DX'ing. It competes against tuners costing five times as much.
I can justify a $70 purchase but not a $400 one, just to DX the FM band.
Plus, I now
I bet this is something that DXers in such states as Delaware, Nevada, Vermont
and South Dakota get used to early on!

I remember that during the 2007 Masset DXpedition, Chuck Hutton had a Soft

it involved a simple part or two like a hand wound toroid inductor.
Even with the limitation of partial band coverage, his mod shows that a low
Softrocks come in two flavors: crystal controlled and with a variable frequency
oscillator. The crystal controlled guys have a tuning range dependent on the
highest rate your sound card supports: 48 kHz, 96 kHz (normal these days) or
192 kHz (high end cards) centered on the crystal frequency.

Thanks, Nick - I missed that. Not that I'd be able to build it, but good to

Nick is correct in that the SoftRock RX Ensemble II kit when built for the
LF-MW option will cover the AMBC band. I have one of those kits, still
unassembled, with the intention to someday try it on LF. Since it's a kit it
has to be assembled, and it is all small surface mounts parts, and one

True, but in SD I logged every station in the state. Of course I only had two
local signals, 810, KBHB and 980, KDSJ, and only about 7 other listenable
signals on the dial. Even the GY's were interesting out there, with almost
everybody from Texas to Alberta and Minnesota to Idaho showing up
I've been expecting to see some posts from folks describing what kind of year
they had DX'ing the AM band, but nada so far. So, I'll kick things off...
Overall, 2010 wasn't a stellar year here, but it had its moments. There were
long periods of mediocre conditions, and I think I did quite a

When stations change pattern, they usually do drop off the air for a second

At WGGH, when we power up, we go off the air for about 1 1/2 seconds... when
