DX midAMerica NOTES/QUOTES!
Welcome to the DX dialogue/Roundtable page. These are basically comments or reactions sent at the end or along with your loggings to DX-midAMerica! Rather than going through everything posted, you can get a general "feel" for how things are, or have been of late, or what you might have missed! Comments will be kept up a few months as conditions change day to day and minute to minute!
A line will separate monthly entries:
Dec 21: This morning was HORRID. Back to bed. ZZZZZZ
Dec 2O: Others still in at 0830 local, but nothing great, so why stay...at least here. Possibly SSS later. Snow outside nice.
Dec 19: Been fighting a cold so DX review has been slow. A few more to report.
Dec 17: In lieu of 630-CHED being gone, 740 CBX was nice. Rather good. Longer session too. SS behind 720 also.
Dec 16: Westward ho! Quite a shortened session today, but again, nice, nice, nice results. At 41 degrees, a dog walk due!
Dec 15: I have a large 4+ hour recording to review but so far some decent stuff from partial review. More to come tomorrow, 73 - Tom
Dec 15: WoW! I should seriously do more SSS at least in December. Don't know if the radio even faded out between SRS & SSS!
Dec 13: DX'ed thru 11:30 AM EST! Bright sun and watching deer in yard. KLXX was so worth the wait! Other goodies too.
Dec 13: Good SRS at the dials.
Dec 12: WoW! The GYs were STILL in at 1100EST, as was other stuff, but Johnny had to pay water, phone, taxes. More on Friday, for sure!
Dec 11: Within an hour of setting up yesterday early evening...
Dec 11: Off to UP. Worst driving in my life! Super slow and snow coming into windshield, last few miles. Gut wrenching!
Dec 09: Lousy report. Lackluster. Back to sleep.
Dec 08: Making up for yesterday for sure where there was NOTHING!!!!! Missing today: WIZM WTSO WLKD WFAW WSBT -nice!
Dec 04: Better than yesterday AND 1520 WBZU is back on, tho with a different format. Was OLDies.
Dec 03: December doldrum DX! Lackluster for sure!
Dec 02: Nothing all that great today, but trying was have the fun. Compare this to July, hi!
Dec 01: Solar flare ups, many weak or non-existant signals.
Dec 01: Man, was last night good. It was good! Will certainly be back this evening. 15 degrees and sun. No dog walks today, hi! I get a break. 7500 MILES thus far!

Nov 29: Two new ones to add to this weeks DX. Going to spend the day in front of the fire. Winter has arrived.
Nov 29: For the end of November, lackluster.
Nov 29: Been unable to DX lately, due to work. Got a bit of time to DX Thursday.
Also had mx on 1400, couldn't make much out about that, as it clashed with WDTK and another talk station.
Nov 28: Just a few from last night SSS DX. Nothing great but decent conditions. Have a very nice holiday. 73, Tom
Nov 28: Well, KBRK KDLR made their seasonal debuts today. Seemed a bit better yesterday, or I didn't have the "umph"
Nov 27: A few this morning were in for first time this season: 900 KJSK, 1510 KTTT 1490 KIBM 1270 KFAN 1140 CHRB, so in my mind, it was a good morning.
Nov 25: First snowfall yesterday. Predicted 8"-got 1". Off a little bit, hi. Better yesterday tho many got away today.
Nov 24: What a day for the fading of stns after listening to songs for 3 mins. Several lost to time, I guess. Back tomorrow.
Nov 23: Wow! Nothing stayed in for any length today. Noticed WBBM signal really dropped earlier, indicating something. Most of these were in-out and lost as fast! Nothing stayed in for any length. Wish session was longer, but band dried up w/only a few freqs workable here.
Nov 22: Glad I decided to DX after my nap yesterday. Conditions were pretty good at sunset. Three new ones for the logbook! A nice snowy day to stay indoors and play radio. 73, Tom
Nov 22: Nice to hear 1210-1110 on from Northern Michigan. The 960 Rogers City made it here FEW times, but guessing they are on.
Nov 21: Yesterday was much better, and still, when you start you don't know what the day will bring.
Nov 2O: WoW! What a good day. Lond session vs yesterday.
Nov 19: The nulling unit is working but it is favoring the wrong directions. I am getting sharp nulls from the west and north but not so sharp from the east and south. DANG! Tom
Nov 19: Yesterday, dx in to 1040AM EST. Today: 840!!!! Yesterday was a bonanza. Today: squat in good to KS CO vs yesterday. Few today were in yesterday.
Nov 16: First off, 1320 WGOC from yesterday was NEW! 2 NEW in one day hasn't happened in years! First 1320 since Dec'17! After a LATE START today (7:30!) nice to still have an hour of dx!
Nov 15: Good again today. Know a few were reported recently, but this was GOOD!!!!!!
Nov 14: One I forgot to send in and a few from this morning. I'm not going at it as hard as last season but still picking up some new ones from time to time. More later.
Nov 13: Wow! Wow! Wow! what a day! Sure makes up for yesterday!!!!!!
Nov 12: After what I consider to be a slow start, quickly fizzled out. There are good days and there are bad days, I guess.
Nov 11: 1340 WJOI was off o/90+ mins on Nov 10. With 34 logs on 1340, what was I expecting, really. Still, it was nice!
Nov 10: 963 is one of several frequencies I usually check to see if there is any TA activity taking place. Early Saturday evening nothing was showing up. When I checked back later @ 0229 UTC I found 2 signals coming in. Two signals were unusual. Tunisia always before came in alone. Tom
Nov 09: Really got GOOD after SRS and for a long time too! WKLK KXRA and KEXS all stood out. It IS getting better. 3 cups of coffee. Too, many others got away. Many!
Nov 08: Nice, but wish it was better. Dog gets new bones and mowing the lawn and the neighbor's leaves, hi!
Nov 07: Wish I had better. Still the amount of open carriers noted recently is astounding, to say the least.
Nov 03: Well, to me, it's a slow start, but a start anyway.
