[IRCA] AM DX…….4 NEW STNS on ELAD Recording for May/07/15!!

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

 I'm not getting through these recordings too quickly, but today I listened to the recordings I made at the TOH for early Morning/Sunrise on May/07th. And Boy…I'm glad I did as these recordings presented me with 4 New Stations….all from the East/Southeast of me and all of relative low power!! I'm not used to logging a lot of New Stations on AM BCB in the month of MAY!! It's not exactly primo DX Season for the BCB!! There is no way I would have ever logged these 4 New Stations if I had just been Band Cruising on one of my Regular Radios!! These 4 New Catches have to be 100 % accredited to the ELAD SDR and it's ability to capture the entire band when it is HOT!! I can hardly wait til the Conditions get really good next Fall and Winter!! I figure I'll be about 6 months behind on listening to recordings by then however……

Keep in Mind that I am using a LOUSY 100 Foot Random Wire Antenna that is Very NOISY!!

I have actually stopped making recordings on the BCB for a while til I get somewhat caught up on what I already have!! Plus I'm getting ready for the FM DX to crank up with Tropo and E-Skip. The ELAD also covers FM and does a Great Job on that Band too…so I am looking forward to recording some Big E-Skip and Tropo Openings……Experimenting with the ELAD I have discovered that it also records PI Codes and RDS Codes for the FM BAND…so that will really help too!

I need a DX Secretary………..To listen to the recordings…and let me know what I heard !! AHHAHHAHA……..

It ain't old fashioned "Knob Cranking DXing"…but it sure does hear a Lot of Stuff….even if you're sleeping or outside working in the yard!!

Here's what I logged on May/07th………

RECEIVER………………….ELAD FDM-S2 SDR

ANTENNA…………………100 Foot Longwire
