Never, ever give up DXing!

This site is dedicated to those who love Ham Radio, enjoy the challenge of serious DX activity, either on Top Band, HF or VHF, but do not live on top of a hill, with multiple towers and acres of land. In short, this site is dedicated to the rest of us.

Here I will share a few stories about my activity from a "DX-challenged QTH" and present simple technical solutions that I employed to overcome the limitations imposed by my situation. Although nothing here is new or revolutionary, I hope you will find these pages interesting and that - if you are in a similar situation - you will be insipred to never, ever give up DXing.

Do you feel frustrated because you don't even hear many of the DX stations that your countrymen spot on the DX Cluster as "booming signal"? Don't  - it appears that enthusiasm, persistence and determination are just as good as hundreds of pounds of aluminum up in the air or a seaside location. Do you feel a lesser ham because you don't have a 4 elements SteppIR atop a 100' tower? Don't - serious, top-level DX can be worked with the simplest antennas. Do you think you will never be able to work anything on VHF because your'e in a hole? Don't - VUCC and more can be worked from the most unfortunate locations.

Do not despair - from an average or sub-average QTH not only it is possible to be up there, in terms of DX results, with the "big guns", but, to a certain extent, it is even possible to be a big gun!
