As this first decade of the 21st century comes to the end here are
some of my notable DX memories for this time
periiod. You are
welcome to add your own.
1. The most notable for me here in the midwest were
the Cuban
Wobblers. Their signals were creepy and
facinating. They
sometimes had very strong
signals covering much of North America. They were
reported on many frequencies by many DX'ers. I have
played back some of my recordings to family members and
co-workers. Many people expressed utter disbelief that such
signals were
actually
heard on the radio! Not
much has been heard of them by me up here in the recent past but
several DX'ers still report hearing them.
2. The biggest
change (for the worst) is the profieration of IBOC
interference across the band. Many formaly good Domestic and
Euro channels are wiped out. Hopefully the next decade will
see a reduction or end of this type of signal.
3. The digital equipment age has arrived as an aid
for the DX'er. Here we can have several components such
as the Internet, various
types of digital recording and
the new very high quality DSP
receivers. Certainly
we will see more of this digital world in the next decade.
Happy New Year to all.
