\ufeff\ufeffHere’s a (admittedly incomplete) daytime AM bandscan from the Outer Banks of North Carolina that might interest other medium wave DXers.\u00a0 We camped at the Cape Point Campground August 10th-11th, 2010.\u00a0 I hauled my radio gear including a DX-440 portable \/ Quantum Loop combo and my Perseus SDR and an 800 foot beverage antenna.\u00a0 I was able to do a little DXing between other family activities.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I caught using the DX-440 and loop around solar noon.\u00a0 It’ll take me some time to go through the spectrum recordings taken during the pre & post sunset hours.\u00a0 Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make a complete bandscan\u00a0 (or record with the Perseus) during the daylight hours for various reasons.\u00a0 The best catch was Miami at around 700 miles!\u00a0 Bermuda would have been nice, but I couldn’t pull in any of their stations with this setup.\u00a0 This is definitely an interesting area to DX from!<\/p>\n
