Shop is coming back online! -- September 2024

My e-mail contact page has been plagued by Russian spam -- so I have turned off the contact gizmo - you can contact me anytime: rnewell AT shaw DOT ca OR info AT DXer DOT CA
replies are next to instant!



I have retired after 36 years working in IT and electronics and I am gearing up my home workshop to start serving my loyal clients again (VACTROL units and Misek-Lankford Phasers -- etc) Stay tuned for more surprises!



The DXer.ca website site has been on the air for 28 years and is listed as a resource in the 2018 edition of the World Radio TV Handbook!

XHDATA reviews coming - finally, new content on this website!!

XHDATA radio has sent me a unit to test out and we are having fun with it - stay tuned for an update/review of this radio and some desperately needed new content on DXer.ca 

Reprints, reprints, we've got technical reprints!
I have been a member of the International Radio Club of America on and off since late 1975 -- that is a long, long, long time in any calendar system. One of the more active writers over the years is the venerable Nick Hall-Patch (who has been my neighbour and buddy since 1975!)

He has written a lot of technical articles and there are 100's of them over here on the IRCA website -- go have a look see.

We will be focusing more on the technical side of things -- and yes, the DXer.ca website has been stagnating a long, long time now.

Here is the entire flipping list!

Wanna talk radio - or ham stuff? Have a question about a broken radio. Want me to build or fix something?

You can send me a note anytime -
My e-mail address is rnewell AT Shaw DOT ca


My call sign is VA7WWV - I am very active with FT8, WSPR, CW, SSB on 80 through 10 meters AND 6 meters!
...but we don't spend too much time talking about Ham radio here as there are plenty of other websites and YouTube channels devoted to that...
