How is it possible this pole is not bent down because I have seen videos this evening on the French television news showing airbus and boeing aircraft trying to land in UK airports & France but the Pilotes abort the landing at the last seconds because of the wind, i think very frightening for the pa...

Hello Chris

Hello Chris, i notice you have a 48-82MHz dipole but i was given a antenne 5 elements but is big for my installation. What dimension cm is your dipole for may be it is possible for adapt the original antenne,

Je vous remercie

I have collected this afternoon from an english tv dxer who lives over the valley a D100 box also 2 antennes for use with the box. I ask him what can the D100 box receive and he told me that it receive continental tv channels during the summer and sometimes tropospheric conditions, but will i find ...

What antenne you finally decide for use?

I have back-to-back dance music on 87.5. No IDs, just long gaps between tracks as if it's coming from iTunes or Spotify, far too weak to get RDS from it but strong and stable enough to listen to through the static. Any ideas what it could be? I would imagine it's a pirate rather than a legal statio...

Staying in a 4* establishment but with 0* WIFI connection but it is good many south UK FM can be received but i think such reception is maybe constant also DTV UK with BBC SW and ITV Channels received well with a SDR & Aerial TV software + dipole antenne + SLx1 Signal booster. BBC R2 88.1 Inter 88.3...

Unfortunately from my location this past days not yesterday i have receive many France FM near 400km distance but no UK or Belgique FM, is this normal?

Maybe the opportunity for us to tune to FM from Ireland ! http://forum-images.hardware.fr/images/perso/coch.gif PS : We all know that two essentials things are needed to well practise DX-FM : 1) A good tropo forecast 2) An high WAF (*) (*) : Women Acceptance Factor Sylvestre unfortunately my Wife h...

Unfortunately i have not the time for monitoring FM yesterday but i notice early next week the map for both UK and France looking again excellent. I will be returning for my annuel family end of year visit to a thalasso spa hotel in Pléneuf Val André, North Bretagne from Saturday to Wednesday and as...

At this moment mid night here in Ile de France 90.6 France Inter: Nantes is very strong but not XDR F1HD rds while Caen is audible but less stronger in signal. France Bleu Amorique 101.3 much weaker and just making the distance but i hope conditions may be can improve before morning. I forget mentio...

Apologies for being a DX problem person but i have now medium fluttery France Bleu Amorique 101.3: Vannes 400Km environ. This is locally received at the family holiday home when in Bretagne so nice for receiving now in the Ile de France.

Conditions improving quietly here in L'hay les Roses with France Bleu Normandie 100.1 audible 2 bars Sony XDA F1HD and Selmar 2PA 320 2x telescopique actif antenne not like this morning when nothing but a good indicator for possible FM from South England later on. Joyeux Noël et profitez du dx s'il ...

So far despite much expectation from myself for enjoying good conditions this morning at my location in dense fog (but now blue sky and Sun) the FM has been limited to local Paris & Urban networks. How can this be when the map is showing nice colors and fog? I read that fog conditions are ideal for ...

Looks like i will be cancelling the Christmas afternoon dinner for invited family and friends for it does look promising even for the Ile de France and i wish not for missing the occasion

Good Luck and happy DX-ing

The forecast for Christmas Day on December 18th looked a lot better than it does now*: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yCIrtdv4JRo/XBqMy3u9VRI/AAAAAAAAAlc/z_aqfp5uSWsN8cu9lWuLGPxJBE3SDWrtgCL0BGAYYCw/h618/2018-12-19.png Go and check the current forecast for the 25th and you'll see it has been dow...

Hi Pascal, I'm facing the annoying so-called "soft-mute" issue using the XH DATA. Let me know how you managed to fix it ! For sure, it will please each and every D-808 owner :D Have a nice day, Patrick Hello Patrick, apologies because i make a statement for stopping soft mute with the D-808 but in ...

I hope this forecast map does not change for Christmas day
