It’s starting to get cold. Time to start DXing again!The cool night air reduces moisture. This helps with optical astronomy as well.What is DXing? Simply put, DXing is the reception of distant transmissions. It comes from the radio broadcast abbreviations for transmit, tx and receive, rx. For me, it is about receiving space-based transmissions from manned and unmanned vehicles, in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or beyond.
Is There Anybody Out There?
DXing is a relatively inexpensive hobby, that I find fascinating. An antenna of the right configuration and a radio scanner is all you need to get started. Below I have added links to a bunch of resources related to DX, including the Amateur Deep Space Network - a great group that is very informative.
I joined last year, and have learned a great deal, even just sitting and listening. To the group I mean. |
