Welcome to the 100% Canadian made DXer.ca website - a resource for radio listeners, SWL's DXers and hams... on the air since 1995.
Shortwave Listening - or Distance radio listening... what is it?
It is the activity of chasing radio signals across great distances - from 100 khz to 530 khz (for Longwave DXing...) 530 to 1700 khz for medium wave DXing and 1800 khz to 30,000 Khz for Shortwave DXing.
There are radio hobbyists that listen on VHF frequencies like FM Band 75 to 108 Mhz for long distance VHF -- yes, that is a thing too!
Photo above: This has been in the works for a while - the classic RCI program from yesteryear returns with new material - interviews - news and nostalgia! Available on iTunes - Apple Podcasts - and our companion research webpage ColinsCafe.com - It was broadcast on WRMI -- and we are pretty sure we had next to no listeners. Seemed like a good idea at the time! :-)
Selling more stuff: I have a Drake R8, Drake R8B and an JRC NRD525 that is surplus to my needs -- for sale -- for pennies on the dollar! Send me an e-mail!
Located in Victoria B.C. Canada - DXer.ca has been on the air for going on 31 years!
I make stuff like VACTROL's - Active antennas and MISEK-Lankford Dual antenna Phasing units - check out the "things we make" page. We send our stuff world-wide.
Currently, with the trade kerfuffle with our neighbours to the south (The U.S.A.) it is immensely difficult to send anything there without setting our American friends back many more dollars than necessary.
That said, I am willing to try - send me an e-mail with any requests or questions.
I also do PCB design and testing on request using Autodesk FUSION Eagle CAD and KICAD for pcb development and testing.
XHDATA radio have been sending me various units to test out and we are having fun with this - stay tuned for an update/review of these radios.
