Chase DX With DX World & DX Summit

I'm drinking Starbuck's Pikes Peak coffee this morning out of my lucky contest mug tattooed with Dash! The Dog Faced Ham. Our G4 star seems to have awoken from its fusion slumber as stellar numbers greet the weekend. I spoke with QDH earlier in the week and the current Cycle 24 upward tick is currently stoking Five Cities DXers.

It is a weekend made for chasing DX!

The hour before shackadelic sunrise is quiet when most if not all are asleep including Radio Dawg however DX never sleeps. The time is now when one can populate their computer log with wireless signals harvested from far and distant lands. It is a dramatically different age for ham radio given Internet integration into virtually every hamdom activity.

DX World
There are countless channels for DX information and my favorite is DX World. This website enhances my wireless experience providing pathways to information that did not exist when I was a novice. Today, thanks to the efforts of the DX World team, I can customize my operating schedule, view videos, and listen to soundbites.

DX Summit
One of the favorite DX feeds in the Five Cities is DX Summit. Typically, I open DX Spots in Firefox browser and watch the waterfall of DX information. I have, in some respects, retired from the days of spinning the dial searching for DX opting instead for the menu of DX choices provided by DX Summit.

Chasing and logging DX is fun and I'm having more ham radio fun than ever before as a direct result of DX World and DX Summit.

Prop is up!
