Welcome to the 100% Canadian made DXer.ca website - a resource for radio listeners, SWL's DXers and hams... on the air since 1995.
Radio reviews: We review the XHDATA D-808 over here...
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. 
Photo Left - We have regular coffee meet-ups in the Victoria area every few months to nerd out on the subject of radio, engineering, hobby stuff etc - send us a note if you want in on this action!
Radio Hobby Fact - 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!
Gadget Photo above right: We make stuff - one of our most popular items are the VACTROL controllers for Flag - Pennant - KAZ and EWE Antennas. Currently shipping to the USA as well. Click over here for details.
The DXer.ca maker lab is in full swing for the Fall and Winter - We make VACTROL's, Bias-T units, custom low noise loop antenna amps for wire antennas, flags/kaz/pennants etc - as well as the occasional Misek-Lankford-Ratzlaff dual input phaser - want details? Send me an e-mail!
(Photo left) 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.
Update! We are now making and shipping our popular VACTROL units to the U.S.A. - e-mail me for details.
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.
