DX Podcast - March 2006

This month - a review of some of the spring DX conditions encountered by listeners on several continents, a quick look at solar activity and how it relates to propagation conditions, and a review of two great web sites that are helpful to DXers. This month we introduce Colin Newell from the West Coast. Colin brings us some of his DXing experiences, featuring a great clip from a famous and historic Pacific island, and an over-the-pole reception from 1975.

We'll also have a few more gems from the East Coast in the 1970s including another of Mark Connelly's catches, and another very interesting reception, also from from Cape Cod, this time by long-time DXer Marc DiLorenzo. And we'll have audio of a recent catch from one of Jean Burnell's famous Newfoundland DXpeditions.

In this issue - why do some people DX, a few more DX audio clips from the 1970s, some news from the dials, and a look at some of the resources that are available to you. We'll start our regular site-of-the-month look at some of the best Internet resources out there for DXers.

This month we feature two catches of "La Voix de la Révolution" from Conakry, Guinea, West Africa. Both clips are from 1978; one by me and the other by Mark Connelly, WA1ION. And we have clips from CBAF and WUNR.

DX Podcast - January 2006

Show notes:

Welcome to the DX Podcast.

My name is Brent Taylor, and I am your host for the DX Podcast, a regular look at the magic that is long distance radio reception, primarily on the AM broadcast band. Coming up - a brief history of broadcasting and DXing, and a few exotic DX audio clips from my collection of recordings in the 1970s from here in Atlantic Canada, which is prime territory for the pursuit of DX signals.

Welcome to the DX Podcast Blog!

The purpose of this blog is to make the DX Podcast feed possible. As I post episodes of the podcast, I'll include some show notes here, and eventually it will become a permanent table of contents. I'm just getting going, so bear with me in the coming weeks and months as I get everythng put in place.
