WHERE ARE YOU?

[GlennO]

To fellow DXers who post where they are: thanks. To those who don't mention where they picked up something or assume everyone knows you: please put your whereabouts. Otherwise, what's the point?

Glenn, what I usually do is include my general location, when I've some interesting catches and this way the regulars and semi-regulars become familiar with where I am. I could just list my location here, but then everybody would have to look specifically for this thread....

BTW, I live about 20km (12 miles) north of Brockville, Ontario. 8)

I always include my location when talking about reception of specific stations but I know what you mean.

Sometimes a post of catches of certain stations will be made and I can't make anything of it not knowing where the receiver is.


I'm in Tampa, Florida.

 

[vibe]

Sometimes Englewood FL-80 mi S of Tampa or Northbridge, MA (12 mi S of Worcester MA)

Home base for me is far Northwest suburbs of Chicago.....about 44 air miles (70km) northwest of downtown. But I also travel the U.S., Canada, and Europe (especially the UK) in my work. In addition to all of that, I also spend a few weeks of the year in Perdido Key, FL (Pensacola area). So I usually try to remember to post my location.

 

[eskipper411]

I live about 70 air miles from Wichita Falls and 65 from Dallas. In Decatur, Texas.

 

[pianoplayer88key]

I'm about 12 and a half miles east / northeast of downtown San Diego, or about 4 miles east of La Mesa, or 2 and a half miles south of El Cajon. Most of the time I'm close enough to the school campus at 32°45'40"N 116°56'50"W so that I would probably be able to receive a fairly reliable part 15 AM or FM signal transmitting from that spot. (There's no transmitter there on the air, though.)

 

[kenrayc]

Clovis California in Fresno County, and I usually include that in all posts.

 

[ddsparxx]

Manassas, VA, about 30 miles SW of DC.

 

[kenglish]

A suburb, just south of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Maybe we should add a Great Circle Calculator to the forum, and list our approximate geo coordinates. That would be a cool way to find distances ;D .

 

[cd637299]

22 miles NW of Miami FL (Pembroke Pines), with a caveat:

Often I do remote DXing, complete with TV/VCR combo, stereo, antenna, tripod & four poles of five-foot mast!

So...You didn't post your location. That would have been a good and positive start for this thread.

Many of us visit and post frequently, and know where others are located; and no doubt some posters just forget to include their locations.

I always try to include my location in my DX posts, but for the rare times that I may forget to do it, I am in Coldwater, MI. Approximately 13 miles north of the Indiana state line. Halfway between Lansing and Fort Wayne and also Chicago and Detroit. About 25 air miles from Battle Creek, 40 from Kalamazoo and Jackson, and 75 from Grand Rapids. Makes it a great DX location.

 

[Steve_Green]

Despite my somewhat indistinct 'PA' suffix, the town here (small and on few national atlases) can be situated more accurately as being about halfway between Scranton and Harrisburg. The main road connecting those two cities is I-81, which is right outside the front window on the next hill south.

We're right on the ledge of that arcing coal strip -- not very wide at all -- that reportedly starts/ends near Scranton and ends/starts somewhere in northern Alabama. I don't know if anthracite is a good conductor, but, heck ..... as if I had a choice.

 

[crainbebo]

Bothell, WA, 15 mi northeast of Seattle.

I'm normally in St. Petersburg, where I get an array of Cuban stations day and night and sometimes I'm in extreme eastern Hernando county Florida, near Webster (about 50 miles west of Orlando). It's amazing how much difference even 75 miles can make in night time dx'ing.

This week, I'm in downtown Albany NY and so far (first night here) the dx'ing has been a big disappointment, even though I'm on the 11th floor, which I thought would help, but I seem to be in a dead zone.

this week, in Albany NY zip 12207

 

[radioman148]

I'm about 25 miles due north of Chicago.

 

[schmave]

I am in Thornville, Ohio, about two miles off the south shore of Buckeye Lake and approximately 27 miles due east of downtown Columbus.

I do that sometimes at a local park, but the whole area is buried under PLI (Power Line Interference) now.

 

[Darth_vader]

About a mile and a half WNW of Troutdale, OR. I used to be about two miles dead north of PDX Airport, but I moved earlier this year. The view of the city doesn't seem as good here as what I had two flats ago (must be why this place is $350/month less than that one) but oddly enough, the satellite reception is mysteriously beter here.

I can pull in RTV and This, from AMC 3 on C band, without it breaking up every three seconds. That is, with a salvaged Dish Pro dish with a Winegard dual-band quad-position LNB. Weird.

@kenglish--

The park just across the way from me is the best place for MW/SW DX, being that it's probably the only place in the entire City of Vancouver that *isn't* buried under PLI noise!!
