Shelby Forest DXpedition
Jim Pogue and I wrapped up a very satisfying weekend DXpedition to Shelby Forest State Park earlier this month. We set up a Wellbrook ALA100 and a 120′ long Super KAZ antennas along with enough splitters and switches to feed all the receivers. The main focus was definitely NDBs and I have over 70 hours of 190 kHz bandwidth NDB recordings taken with the SDR-14 and SDR-IQ, along with a smaller amount of tropical band recordings.
I have only began to barely scratch the surface of the NDB recordings and have logged 90 beacons so far, mainly Canadians with 8 provinces logged. Best logs so far are UX-378 Nunavut at 3,760 km and QI-206 Nova Scotia. I still have well over 60 hours of recordings to go through, so I am hoping to bag a few more provinces and perhaps even Alaska by the time I am done. You can access my NDB logs at www.bcdx.org/ndb
More to come….

The RFSpace SDR-IQ arrived today. Preliminary testing indicates that I am able to operate both the SDR-14, SDR-IQ and the WinRadio G313e simultaneously on my laptop. I am really looking forward to having the capability to simultaneously record two 190 kHz bandwidths, a whopping 380 kHz total!
