AM DXing - with a BULLET

So... I feel like I'm cheating. 😊 Here's why:

That image up there is not live AM. That's playback of 500 kHz of AM spectrum from 9:58 PM to 10:01 PM MST. Right when stations ID on the hour. So the playback loops these three minutes, unless I move the scrub markers, in which case I can loop any part of those three minutes. So if I hear an ID that was unclear, I just loop those few seconds while tuned to that in the playback and fiddle with all the RF and demodulator controls to get the best signal I can, and generally, I can figure it out.

I worked my way across that whole span, and only three of the stations took such huge fades / distortions that I couldn't eventually catch the ID.

Once the scrub markers are set once for this purpose, you just click on each station in turn and listen for the ID.

My best DX this evening (so far) was WBAP, Fort Worth, TX, 1185 miles from here.

I know a lot of people aren't "into" radio these days, but for those of us who are, it's truly the golden age of radio technology. SDRs are like magic. And good SDR software is everywhere, and most of it is free. Including mine, SdrDx, as you see above!
