PREPARING FOR YOUR NEXT DXPEDITION - Part 1
One of the joys of listening to shortwave radio is going portable - setting up the gear in a completely different location to discover what reception is like in some other part of the country (or indeed, the world!). Last December, I wrote an article for The Spectrum Monitor on this very topic. It's my own particular "take" on this fun part of the radio hobby. PART 1 of the article has now been published at the Mount Evelyn DX Report. Part 2 will follow in a few days time!
