Hi All:
BCB, pretty much exclusively from about seventh grade on. I was interested in Ham radio but never had the money to invest. When my friend Chris, who was a ham operator, moved away one of the things that drew me and Bruce Heimburger together was an interest in BCB DX. Bruce did more SW than I did, but all I had was one of those old multi-band tube radios. But even after I bought Chris's old Lafayette allband rx I didn't pay much attention to SW.
What I want to know is how Jim Renfrew DXes FM where he lives. When I lived just down the road in Barre Center, I got good signals out of almost every FM from Buffalo north to Barre, Ontario, then across to Kingston and across Lake Ontario to Sodus, New York. That meant there was a signal on almost every channel, and I note that at least three new signals have been added since.

SW here when I was about 12 years old. Then a little MW but also a lot of police radio listening. By my 20's I moved on to other things (women, beer, music, etc). It wasn't until my early 40s that I really got back into the hobby....and it was SW again that started it off.
