...And I had no idea that Europe changed their clocks too.
Yes... It used to raise havoc with my dxing...
DXing is a term used by shortwave, medium wave (American AM stations), and long wave enthusiasts who search for different stations and then they send in a report that they received a signal from them. For me it was a bit more of a challenge to get the signals from some places due to the fact of living in the middle of teh North American continent. It hs been really interesting some of the neat things I have gotten over the years. Alas, in the last few years it is a practice that is not done as much as many broadcasters such as the BBC, VOA and others are opting for webcasting.
Some of the countries I got postcards, schedules or little trinkets and even a few t-shirts along the way include Peru, Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, China, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Nigeria, South AFrica, Israel, Austria, Germany, France, Russia, Netherlands, Norway, Danmark, Czechoslovakia (I received this postcard of the state broadcaster before the country broke into two distinctive countries), Italy and Switzerland.... A few pirate stations also.. These are the shortwave ones I recall..
I used to also do dxing of AM (Medium wave) stations and got some as far west as Missoula, Montana and Denver, Colorado. My furthest north stations was Winnepeg and Emerson, MB. AS far east os Detroit, MI and Louisville, KY. The furthest south station I got was Dallas, TX. The rockies prevented me from getting AM signals that were west of the rockies...
