Requirements for DX

Any of the Kenwood, Icom or Yaesu HF amateur radios will wipe the floor with CB and exports. Completely different league.
Agreed! There are some really good exports out there but that’s really good compared to regular cb's. A 30 year old Kenwood 520s will out perform any modern export and cost less too.
 
Hopped on the CB this evening and made a QSO with 291 Upstate New York!
That is my first DX contact where a station and I actually exchanged numbers.

Wow, how awesome. Right from my driveway. Finally.

He didn't mention me being off, we just exchanged numbers.

He came through really clear so I called his numbers. Next thing I know he is calling me back.

Instead of just incessantly calling cq I'm gonna try calling out numbers more often, that worked out.

Way to go man! I sure can identify with that feeling. Almost all of my contacts have come with a direct address to them. CQ'ing rarely works for me. I think you're on the right track!

Cheers and beers!

Moxon's on hold. Have to build it inside and will be moving the furniture in the Living room to do it. Wife is gonna love me! I love tormenting that broad!

Bored to death here and so sick of winter. Sure is pretty and so peaceful. Quiet. No sound with snow coming down but could def' live without it at this point. You maniacs in FL have it made! Good luck to Jim Cantore! hahahaha. He's gonna get rocked up top!

"The old man in the rocking chair". Yea! I was listening to him. He was rippin' in here like gangbusters. Sounded like a character. Reminded me of 357! Bwahahaha
 
I made it to Frankfurt, Germany and tried to get 019 Germany but too much noise. I don't have a log so can't remember the number of the Irishman I contacted last week.

I was listening to him on my drive back to work after lunch. pretty cool.
 
Strange stuff I was talking to him yet you couldn't hear me . Propagation is weird , go figure if there was ever a time we could have talked that would have been it 3 of us on the same frequencies @ the same time !!
