7½ MONTHS UNTIL US ANALOG TV SHUTDOWN!! FEB 17, 2009 IS ANALOG SHUT DOWN DATE!

After that, it's all digital TV or nothing unless you're hooked to cable, satellite or OTA DTV converter box.  
Converter boxes are in the stores, so pick up one for your old TV.  An indoor antenna may not be good
enough to provide reception of ALL your local DTV channels. You MAY need an outdoor antenna.
And the countdown continues...

DXING THE FM AND TV BANDS FROM CONNECTICUT SINCE 1974 WITH OVER 2,600 FM STATIONS LOGGED

Welcome to my Website!

I've been DXing the FM and TV bands since the late 1960s. Omigod...that long? The WTFDA has also been my club of choice since then. About six years ago I took over the mail and membership duties and after a time I was named one of the five WTFDA board of directors.  In September 2001 I took over as VHF-UHF Digest editor and publisher and continue with that task today (2007). I hope you enjoy this revamped website. There is plenty to look at.   -Mike

2007 Highlights
Let me think. Nothing much stands out for 2007, at least for E skip. I did pretty well with about 40 new stations heard. Around 15 of them were stations broadcasting in HD. And yes, it's possible to pick up HD stations via Es. I did it and it's not hard. I don't think it's worth spending any money on HD radios but the one I have (Sangean HDT-1) is great for analog FM. And that's why I bought it.


On FM I now have 20 area stations broadcasting HD radio. See my new updated listing. This development has knocked the wind out of my FM Dxing after  32 years of FM Dxing from this location. That's 40 additional adjacent channels that are not DXable except for the strongest tropo.  I'll continue to DX when possible,  but I know my best DXing days are gone forever. How do I barely survive? I survive with antenna phasing.
