Welcome to the DXer.CA website. The DXer.ca site has been on the air in one form or another for 14 years now! We are based in Victoria B.C. Canada but we have listeners and hobbyists stationed all over the globe! We are also partnered with PCJmedia.com and the good folks that bring you Happy Station - on line and via FM radio here and there...

The DXer.ca website and its writers are dedicated to the engrossing hobby of long distance radio listening (Dxing), World band radio and Shortwave listening. Your editor and creator of DXer.ca is Colin Newell - of Victoria B.C. Canada - He is also the co-moderator of the Kenwood R2000 Yahoo Group and the primary P.R. person and North American ideas-guy for the newly re-minted radio (on the Internet largely) show "Happy Station".

In an era of Internet broadcasting and WiFi radio, we still feel that Shortwave radio is still a viable medium for bringing culture and news to the World.

World Radio 101 - A new series on DXer.ca - about, well... Everything!

Photo at right - We interview DXer, SWL and song writer/performer Farrell Spence while in Vancouver recently. Yes, she grew up in Winnipeg, Canada listening to SW sounds and still finds SW radio fascinating - in fact, her latest album might just have some shortwaves of its own! Link

DXer.ca features a series of reviews of radios, antennas and accessories - as well as forum dialogs on the culture of radio listening.

New to the radio hobby? We are currently creating a long feature that is going to have static content and audio podcasts - called "World Radio 101" and here is the first insert - everything you will ever need to know about SW radio - still under construction. We plan on writing down everything we know about this hobby... Everything!

Radio reviews - We review radios like the Grundig Aviator, the Sony SRF-59 (the receiver that launched the Ultra-Light craze (thanks to Gary DeBock!), the Sangean PRD5, the Eton E100, and more, much more.
