We try out a 4-port LF-MW-SW-VHF Distribution amplifier

4 port DA 2025 by Tom Seeger of OntarioWelcome to the DXer.ca website - a resource for radio listeners, SWL's DXers and hams... on the air since 1995. My name is Colin and I have been a radio enthusiast since I was a kid in the 1960's. Long distance AM radio reception has always fascinated me and I have had one radio or another to play with since I was 6 or 7 years old.

Head over here to read the new review of this product.

My parents, always motivated to keep their kids engaged in the World around them, handed me my first transistor radio while I was still learning to walk and talk. Throughout the late 1960's (and during a global cultural revolution...) radio kept me in the groove -- perhaps too much for such young ears... but that was the way. 

By 1971 I had my first encounter with a multiband shortwave portable, my first station heard being WWV -- and I was then hooked for life! This experience is captured for all time in my ham radio call sign VA7WWV! I built my first multiband radio from a kit in 1973. In 1979 I started my career in electronics with a college pre-apprenticeship program. By 1985, I was a red-seal electronics technician. I retired from a local university after 36 years of technical service to that community. Now I have built my home research/development/production shop!
