Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands* |
|
Monday, March 11 2019
Collin,It was a question I asked.  I got several replies and some good info. They helped but so far I have not found what I was looking for. I don't think such a thing for AMBCB DXing or SWL exists. I'm all for it.
I'd love to hear / see your ideas. As a Ham I use http://www.dxsummit.fi/#/ and a telnet based one called dxspots.com
I like these two because I can filter what spots I see or don't see. I frequently have both of them up filtered different ways.

Last week someone posted a "wouldn't it be great if we had a live DX spotter chat window web site 100% dedicated to SWBCing and/or MW DXing ?"You know, a place where you could quickly sign in and post an alert that you're hearing HCJB on 9560 khz or Voice of the Voyager on 6160 khz... or there is a great TA opening to the West Coast... Show of hands: Who would use a system like this? I have some free server space and some ideas about domain names that could be fun... Anyway... hands!?

XHDATA D-808 |
|
Monday, March 11 2019
Glad you like the XHDATA D-808 Mike. I recently brought one on vacation to Dunedin FL and I logged about 225 stations in 5 weeks. The farthest was CFAC 960, in Calgary Alberta. I find the sound at 3 khz AM mode is excellent for DXing. Jim, back home in the snow
