Episode 17 | DX Central (Re)Live! - Season 6, Episode 14 - January 9, 2026

New Challenge! Week 14 of the MW Frequency Challenge is here where we focus on 1180-1220. Lots of big guns in this range but can you pick out the ones in their shadows? Some good international DX in here too! Hour 1 Sporadic Es Bonanza - almost every day this week saw someone somewhere in the US getting that elusive Winter Es opening. We look at the maps and check the current conditions. And maybe do a little recording review of our own opening to Mexico earlier in the week. DX Radio is live - As of 2000 Central/0200 UTC, the long awaited DX Radio is officially live! 24/7/365 radio with DX themed music, announcements and reminders from the DX Central ecosystem and a dysfunctional staff that each bring their own brand of fun to the station. Head to thisisprobablydxradio.com and give it a listen. Also on YouTube at youtube.com/@ProbablyDXRadio. Hour 2 We take a quick look at Linrad - that mysterious bit of SDR software that typically has most DXers scratching their heads. Well, while not an expert, I have begun to gradually crack the code. TOH DX Hour 1: 1350-1360 wrapping up that challenge Hours 2 and 3: 1180-1220 starting our new challenge Leaving lots of room for shoutouts since we missed last week
