Wanted to say hi Name is Blaine VE9CBN . Been a ham since 1985. But location does not let me transmit so I Have been Dxing for many years. Have A Dx-394 living room radio, and a Kaito 1121 my portable. And my Kenwood R-2000 in the radio room.Collect and restore tube radios My first shortwave tube set is a Stromberg Carlson . Have a Mfj active antenna and a 110 ft longwire antenna. I listen when I can where I can. Just purchased a cottage along the Northumberland strait. Will hang a longwire next summer and do some summer dxing.

Welcome friend!

How much would one of those cottage set me back?

Little hope of having a dx cottage on the West Coast of Canada!

Welcome Blaine - I am Phil VY2PR in PEI. I enjoy MW DX, with a stable of receivers from a 1946 Hammarlund HQ-129-X through to an RF Space SDR-IQ with a lot of other receivers covering the decades between.

Antennas used are the LFE M601C active whip, Wellbrook 1530 and my DXpedition antenna, a DGS EWE that I built. I also use a Quantum Phaser which works great with the M601C and 1530 combo.

My MW DX highlights were catching India on 1566 KHz and three MW stations from Japan.
