Dxing the world from Newfoundland Canada ,
Welcome, My name is Allen Willie, and I've been involved in radio (Dxing) for the past 40 years. The following pages include some of the QSL cards I have received from stations around the world and also complete listings of all stations and countries heard on all the different radio bands from Ham to Shortwave and also AM and FM. I started the hobby in 1968 living in the province of Alberta up until September 2002, then moving here to St. John's , Newfoundland.

It all began for me on June 17, 1968 when I logged my first long distance station,
KMON 560 khz -Great Falls, Montana USA
Since that time I have logged approximately 1200 stations on the AM broadcast band, 600 on FM and many on Shortwave in total from over 900 countries and remote islands combined worldwide
As of March 1 , 2006 hearing J5UAP from Guinea-Bissau on the ham bands I have now heard a radio transmission from every country on earth
Chasing the DX
It is truly a privelege to live near the location (Signal
Hill ) where radio had it's beginnings with Guglielmo Marconi ( click name for more information ) receiving the first
transatlantic wireless signal from England, December 12, 1901
My equipment over the years have included five main receivers, an RCA all band receiver (photo ) of the 50's, the DX-300 from Radio Shack (photo ) and currently the FRG-100 (photo) from Yaesu, Kenwood R5000 (photo) from Kenwood,and as well as a Realistic DX-200 (photo) , Sony SRF-M37 Portable Receiver (photo ) and Citizen Micro Component Sytem (really goood for AM Dxing ) and a few other table radios to begin with like many other people who discover this hobby.
Current antenna system in use is a 100 foot long random wire antenna . Additional equipment includes a GE Model 3-5383 Microcassette Audio Recorder . Hoping soon to join the ham community also.
