Pull up a chair and introduce yourself. How long have you been in the hobby? What is the future of the radio hobby? Talk about the good old days? This is the off-topic (OT) area.

I was a huge fan of the passive loop until I discovered the active broadband loop. Now there are so many options out there in antenna World. Discuss your favorite here.

Let`s face it folks - the time for the software defined shortwave/medium wave receiver is now. They work. They are stable and they are getting better. Discuss yours here.

I started out with a 1938 RCA Tube type receiver. It was love at first site. Some people swear by tube-type receivers and still use them today. What kind of tube-type receiver do you use?

Broadcasters love it when we actually listen to the program content - and report back to the station. In this forum area we discuss the content and programs on World Band radio.

There is always something on the drawing board - if you know about it and it is legal to talk about it, share it with the gang.

Have a dead radio and do not think it is worth keeping? Do not throw it in the land-fill! Consider sending it to the DXer.ca tech crew for a free repair, return and possible give-away.

Gadgets and beyondWhat enhances your radio hobby experience? Perhaps you use a paper-log book of your own design or use a PC/Mac based software solution. Maybe you record your reception for posterity - how do you do it?

I have been recording radio reception since 1972 (sadly, my cassette collection only goes back to 1975) - I still use cassette from time to time, but I also use Sony MiniDisc - there are other mediums... so discuss yours.

The radio hobby is not complete without the many fine books that are available. Some of our new radio hobbyists might not be familiar with them. We talk about it here.
