Episode 23 | DX Central (Re)Live! - Season 6, Episode 23 - March 13, 2026

Hour 1 With me on the road this week for the dayjob, there was no time for DX. Except for a little FM DX I was able to enjoy on the airplane. Flying 35,000 feet above central Louisiana, my little NXP Nano TEF radio pulled in some interesting stuff! I did notice a lot of chatter in the Slack Channel while I was out about antennas, specifically terminated loops such as KAZ, Flags and SuperLoops. So, let's revisit these popular antennas! NEW CHALLENGE: As we wind down the 650-690 kHz challenge, a new challenge awaits and this one......this is a doozy. The Frequency Challenge! Hour 2 Did you know that you can set up a forward so that if you receive an email from a specific sender, it can then send you a text message? I have set this up for my FMList Sporadic Es alerts and It. Is. Awesome. With a text message, I can set up a unique alert sound to play when a text message comes in from that source....which means it will be much easier to "hear" that Es Alert. I will share some tips that I learned from this process. Spring Cleaning? This is a good time of the year to do a once over of your antennas, feedlines, baluns/transformers, terminating resistors, ground connections, etc. TOH DX Hour 1 - Finish up 650-690 kHz Hours 2 and 3 - We hunt for stations for "The Frequency Challenge"
