Welcome to the 100% Canadian made DXer.ca website - a resource for radio listeners, SWL's DXers and hams... on the air since 1995.
Radio reviews: We review the XHDATA D-808 over here...
Shortwave Listening - or Distance radio listening... what is it?
It is the activity of chasing radio signals across great distances - from 100 khz to 530 khz (for Longwave DXing...)
530 to 1700 khz for medium wave DXing
...and 1800 khz to 30,000 Khz for Shortwave DXing.
There are radio hobbyists that listen on VHF frequencies like FM Band 75 to 108 Mhz for long distance VHF -- yes, that is a thing too!
Photo above: This has been in the works for a while - the classic RCI program from yesteryear returns with new material - interviews - news and nostalgia! We rebooted the SWL Digest with Ian McFarland -- three episodes -- broadcast over WRMI and podcast via APPLE Podcasts... to virtually no listeners... but hey, it was worth a try.
I have a Drake R8, Drake R8B and an JRC NRD525 that is surplus to my needs -- for sale -- for pennies on the dollar! Send me an e-mail!
I make stuff like VACTROL's - Active antennas and MISEK-Lankford Dual antenna Phasing units - check out the "things we make" page. We send our stuff world-wide.
Update! We are now making and shipping our popular VACTROL units to the U.S.A. - e-mail me for details.
I also do PCB design and testing on request using Autodesk FUSION Eagle CAD and KICAD for pcb development and testing.
XHDATA radio have been sending me various units to test out and we are having fun with this - stay tuned for an update/review of these radios.
