Kudos Rob ! I have about 2100 from here over about 27 years; combined with my NJ totals and de-duped, I have close to 2800. As Jim says, time at the dials is key, and due to noise, proximity of high power locals and the inability to get a good antenna going, my DX time on AM is small and my totals growth is almost nonexistent.


Given where you are, the time you spend and what you're hearing on a regular basis, 2500 should be very possible.

Rob,

That’s really impressive. You are to be congratulated sir! Despite my fascination for the latest gadget (which I’m always certain will bring in that elusive DX) it turns out that my Elmer was right. He used to say, “Your DX Total will rise in proportion to the number of hours you spend with your ears between headphones.”

Jim Renfrew—congratulations to you as well. 2500? Not in this lifetime!

But they are slowly building up nicely now that Shortwave is somewhat depleted in recent years. I'm still doing some SW and Pirate Radio DXing, but most of my time now is spent on AM and FM DX.
