Great DX. I have not seen India reported in sometime. The last time I heard it was at least 10 years ago (1566). I got 864 Shillong back in 1992. But that is a toughie from NA. Here in the West Coast, I have gotten it 1500-1700 UTC in the Winter. Congrats. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside

a digital tuner. I wonder if most brands are equally sensitive or are some brands better? My knowledge of the OTA digital signal is limited. Much appreciated. I'll let you know how it all works out. Currently I am using RG6, about 50-60 feet of it. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL
