John Faulkner Skegness DX

My main interests are in MW and FM DXing, either from my home in Skegness, or from my girlfriend's farm in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, close to the Norfolk and Cambridgeshire borders.

FM DXing: I tend to focus on sporadic E in the summer months. I also take a keen interest in tropospheric and meteor scatter DXing. 

MW DXing: In the winter months I become focused on medium wave, looking towards the Americas and East Asia. 

Equipment: 

MW: Perseus SDR receiver, controlled by Jaguar Pro software. 

Antenna: 6m x 15m flag antenna, Wellbrook FLG100LN flag amplifier & Vactrol for remote tuning. 

FM: Elad FDM-S2 SDR receiver. 

Antennas: At home: Körner 9:2 nine element beam, 20dB Fringe Electronics amplifier & Yaesu G-5500 azimuthal & elevation rotator;  Long Sutton: 2 x Triax FM5 antennas, horizontal & vertical, both with 20dB Fringe Electronics amplifiers.

Occasionally, I run out beverage antennas and BOGs around The Wash.
