Happy Thanksgiving to our followers

           From Shortwave Central and DX Central - we wish you a blessed Thanksgiving

Blog Logs is BACK !!

 After a lengthy pause to work on other projects, and now a new location plus a new studio to DX from … Blog Logs is BACK! 

If you’re new to this phenomenon, welcome! This is where I will post what I’m hearing on shortwave. And if that wasn’t enough, there will be some mediumwave observations too. I’ve been DXing since 1978 when we were stationed in Tennessee (thank you, U.S. Navy) and carried my logbooks to many duty stations across the country. 

Blog Logs began in Brasstown, North Carolina to cover shortwave, followed soon by Larry ((N5FPW) launching Milcom Blog Logs at https://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/  Recently, our son Loyd (W4LVH) continued the Blog Log tradition covering AM/FM at: https://dxcentral.blogspot.com/2024/01/to-dx-centrals-bloglogs-as-supplement.html 

With this “relaunch,” it is our goal to bring our global blog readers unique catches and radio information to benefit your monitoring.
