Hour 1 With me on the road this week for the dayjob, there was no time for DX. Except for a little FM DX I was able to enjoy on the airplane. Flying 35,000 feet above central Louisiana, my little NXP Nano TEF radio pulled in some interesting stuff! I did notice a lot of chatter in the Slack Channel while I was out about antennas, specifically terminated loops such as KAZ, Flags and SuperLoops. So, let's revisit these popular antennas!

HOUR 1 We sadly say good bye to the US State Challenge. That has been a fun one, hasn't it? I didn't get OR or ID here, wasn't for a lack of trying, but still managed to get some new ones and revisit some old friends i hadn't heard in a while. A new TEF has arrived here at the house - the NXP Nano. It may be a tiny little thing, but it performs just as well as it's larger brothers. New challenge! | We return to a frequency based approach for this week, focused on the range of 650-690 kHz. An

HOUR 1 Solar Storm (Take 1 - The Demo Version) - Well, that wasn't much to sneeze at, was it? The Bz stayed more positive than a motivational speaker on their 2nd pot of coffee. As such, we didn't get a visual or radio event from this one. There was a definite radio blackout - even down here we noticed. Some folks saw little pockets of enhancement this week, but not what we were hoping for. Some folks way up North did manage some FM AuEs! Solar Storm (Take 2?) - There are some space weather

NEW CHALLENGE We continue with a new frequency range, another littered with large stations with smaller gems hiding in their shadows: 1500-1540 kHz. This will be a 1 week challenge. HOUR 1 See ya next season, FM: We seem to have officially entered that 'dead band' period for FM where it is too cold and stable for most tropo, meteor scatter slows to a crawl and Es - while they can happen at any time - we are likely now in the waiting game until April/May. So, what can we do during this time to

HOUR 1it's the end of the year, and that means it is time to look back at 2025 and reflect on a year of DX. AM, FM, NDB, NOAA WX DX.....it's been quite a year! We finally got our Airspy HF+D paired with a splitter from our big Southern-facing KAZ. Let's just say, the CCC and that antenna are a match made in DX heaven. And it is already producing for us! I spent the week working on my brand new online logbooks! These will be embedded at a future Web site I am working on for Northshore Studios

2025/10/29

In this debut episode of DX Central’s From the Static: The History of Radio series, we journey back to the dawn of broadcasting — to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the transmitter that changed everything. It began with hobbyists, tinkerers, and a garage in Wilkinsburg where engineer Frank Conrad strung up an antenna and started sending music into the ether. From those humble beginnings came KDKA — a call sign that would ignite the age of commercial radio. As we weave through the history and legacy of
