DX Radio
Logs, RDS codes, and propagation insights for broadcast band DXers from a London QTH.
Description
Approximately 24 minutes of recorded audio from Flame Christian Community Radio on 1521 kHz was logged on January 4, 2014, demonstrating the pursuit of distant broadcast stations. This resource focuses on the hobby of DXing, primarily targeting the Mediumwave (AM) band and the 2-6 MHz shortwave Tropical Bands, along with VHF FM. It details how factors like solar activity, time of day, and seasonal weather patterns significantly influence radio propagation, enabling reception of signals from hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
The site includes a collection of DX logs, such as Sporadic E reception of FM stations from Algeria, Spain, and Portugal in May 2020, and Radio New Zealand on 15720 kHz. It also features comprehensive UK RDS listings, information on MW Carrier Monitoring of European and trans-Atlantic AM carriers, and reviews of equipment like the Sangean ATS909 portable radio. Historical news entries document significant events like the closure of CBC's 50 kW CBA transmitter on 1070 kHz and RTE's 567 kHz MW channel.
