Welcome


Hello and welcome to my blog. I was inspired to do this by Timm Breyel's excellent SOUTH EAST ASIA DXING site (http://shortwavedxer.blogspot.my) and mine will be a little similar.

Sharing information as a DXer is important and I have found a lot of Timm's QSL information very useful. I am hoping I may be able to help others with some of my QSL info.
What about me then?
Go here to see my story.

My main area of DXing interest is in Longwave/ Mediumwave, but I have been collecting countries on Shortwave as well. I now have 627 verifications from 115 countries on Shortwave and 780 verifications from 73 countries on Long and Mediumwave. I have DXed in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Jordan, Dubai, Vietnam and Malaysia.

I own an AOR 7030+, which I bought in the late 90s. I had it upgraded to the Plus. My primary receiver now is a WinRadio WR-G33DDC SDR (software defined radio). My antenna is a 4 metre EWE, shaped like a metal staple - 2 x 4m verticals and a 12m horizontal - all one piece of wire.

I have belonged to the NZ Radio DX League as a member since June 1974. I had a brief spell of about 5 years out in the mid 90s when I lived in the UK and belonged to the British DX Club. However, I rejoined and am now the Chief Editor of the NZ DX Times, the club's monthly publication. For information on the DX League, go here.

I would finally pay tribute to my wife, Maureen. DXing is a very selfish hobby in many ways and my wife Maureen is very encouraging of my participation in it. She puts up with a lot when I witter on about hearing this or that, or get excited by receiving a random postcard in the mail.

Verifications - finally

This comes with a back story.  For weeks we have had no mail. I arrived home today to find a pile of post - including the credit card - too late, I reported it missing and so it was cancelled - two veries and a frequency schedule from AIR.

My reckoning is that they were delivered to the empty house next door and they were only discovered by the maintenance man today. At least we have them now.

Conclusion - send everything to my school address. That way it will arrive at the right place on time.

Now, back to the veries:

First up was one for Radio Free Asia broadcasting in Laotian on 26th May 2017 on 15195 at 1104 UTC. It was a card of the IBB Kuwait relay site




The second verie was for Radio Romania International on 27th November 2016 on 11790 at 0430 UTC. The card is entitled Cluj-Napoca, panoramic view.
