- Thread-topic: Using a portable heater while DXing
I was hoping Shawn Axelrod would chime in on this topic, which he did in an off-list message to me. I had always wondered what he, Niel Wolfish, Morris Sorenson, and Wayne McRae used to keep warm during all those DXpeditions at Valhalla Beach (65 miles - 104 km - almost due north of Winnipeg), where I'm sure the temps in January can get brutal. If memory serves me right, they set up shop inside an abandoned school bus. THAT must have been fun! Very helpful that Shawn included pics so I know what to look for in the future.

When we were DX'ing from the Valhalla site we used small propane heaters. they used one pound Propane cylinders and that ran a small heater that attached straight to the cyylinder. Worked great for many years. Came witha satnd to keep things safe. Pics below of a similar model to what we used. Way safer that kerosene as these cylinders don't spill. Screw the heater on tight and light her up.
