A Very Unique DX Location...

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

This is my spot by the banks of the Yukon River, taken at 3:15AM Saturday morning.

I am in Galena, Alaska which is a village of 500 people. We are 300 miles west of Fairbanks, 300 miles eats of Nome. The AM bAnd is absolutely 150 percent empty here during the day as I am 250 miles form the nearest operating AM station.

I DX with a Tecsun PL880, 225 foot longwire with EmTech ZM2 Tuner and a Wellbrook ALA1530LNP.

I will be going about 10 miles south of Galena this summer sometime for a night of camping out at an old AM radio tower tower. The nearest power line is 4-5 miles away and is very RF/electrically quiet out there.

you are camping out at an old AM radio tower.
(that answered my question about what was on the left side)
