Dave's Crystal Radio DX Log
My location: N 42 15 3 W 76 57 5, Beaver Dams, NY 14812
Welcome to my AM logbook. It is October and the leaves are
falling. That can only mean one thing. ~ The crystal set dx season is upon us!
Below is my listening log.
This log is not for radio comparision. I used
whichever set was connected when the dx mood hits me. The distances are in
kilometers and the power in kilowatts. My antenna is a 70 foot (later extended to 120 feet long) piece of wire
about 15 feet off the ground.
The numbers in the radio column refers to the particular radio that I used
when I heard the station. This is my complete list of crystal radios.
The points column is the point value calculated
as if it were for the crystal set receiving contest. It is figured at 10
times the distance divided by the log of the power.
The station format is sometimes listed to help me remember what station
was doing what on the crowded band. These designations are not usually
changed if the station programming format changes.
This is my little bragging page, but I hope this will show what kind
of reception can be heard with some good crystal sets. Please take
a look at my contest pages for logging's during the competitions.
