Hi Brandon, Thank you for volunteering to do the DXWW-W column in the IRCA newsletter. I'd have to say I fall into the "don't care" category you mentioned, and my email list postings are 99% not suited for inclusion in the column, and I'd suggest to just ignore my postings. On the rare event

Heya Craig. Many thank for your response! Not asking for language expertise, etc. Just wondering if the DXWW-W crew is open to helping me getting the column together in a small way besides what i would call 'bumming quarters', which is what Phil has been doing. Yours is the first response, hoping

Heard at 0100 EDT/ 0500 UTC this morning on 1370 kHz, a high pitched tone at the top of the hour followed by four letters in Morse Code: TRLB or TRLD (the signal faded on the last letter). I am clueless (as usual). Anyone have an ID for this station? Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU Wolcott, CT, USA

Heys folks. As you my or may not know, I volunteered to take on DXWW-W from Phil who has been doing a fantastic care taker job for a few years. Coming over from the DXWW-E side, it is amazing the work Phil has been doing to glean your logs from your posts in the forum and whipping them up into

Chuck is right, of course. The hiking trails up above the Highway 101 turnouts are much more risky than our DXing setup spots at Rockwork 4. I've hiked some of those trails on Mount Neahkahnie (like the one where the Victoria man fell off of the cliff) and they are far more scary. The problem

He fell from a Cliffside trail. We DX from paved vehicle turnout spots with a wall. Many thousands of people stop in the turnouts to see the view on US highway 101. I think there is no danger at all that anyone could ever fall from the walled turnout. The story of the hiker falling from a

Better TP conditions this morning with 1566 S Korea reaching good levels briefly. I may have to review the recording for any others that reached audio. Many hets over most of the band. Nothing for expanded band DU though 1611 almost always has a weak het every morning for awhile. 594 Japan
