Casa, la propagare la distanta nu mai conteaza ca e casa sau bloc. Eu stau la casa asa ca pot face ce vreau la boc depinde de asociatie.

Salut! spune-mi te rog ce antena foloseai? eu am prins cu un Intek H-520 cu antena stoc niste italieni si ceva rusi de la mine de pe balcon.

@SergiuVF Un GPE 27 de la Sirio (5/8), aidca o antena destul de standard, nu extraordinara.

[SergiuVF]

aha ok, dar antena o ai montata pe bloc, sau pe casa? vreau sa achiziztionez si eu ceva asemanator si vreau sa o montez pe bloc, dar sunt 2 probleme vecinii si fulgerele. spune-mi te rog daca ai intimpinat vreo problema de genu'. merci!

@dofty You are right, in ham low and medium SW bands DX is only outside continents but in CB there is no skywave, only sporadic E skip and ocazional dual skip (other continents) or other ionospheric prenomens so dx means basic outside direct coverage area.

@andreic21 Ahh ok. I'm a radio amateur and DX on HF is outside the callers own continent. On VHF++ it's over 300km. Before I was an amateur radio operator, I used 555 only two months or so before i got my licence so I guess I didn't know what freebanders classifies as DX. Thanks for clearing that up! 73 de LA****

@dofty correction, ligne of sight I mean  from electomagnetic field point of view.

[andreic21]

@dofty DX means also over the ligne of sight usually via E skip witch could be 1000-4000km mostly. In Tv DX means tropo, f2 or e skip in low bands. When outside UE is required most dx-ers specify this clearly in there call and usually will work SSB in tripple 5 not on FM dx call channel (31 in UE) witch is prone to distorsions at low signals.

[dofty]

He's calling the UK from Germany, yet he says DX(Which means "outside my continent"). I guess he doesn't want to talk to someone.
