Welcome to my AM logbook. It is October and the leaves are falling. That can only mean one thing. ~ The crystal set dx season is upon us! Below is my listening log. This is not a set comparision situation. I use whichever set is connected when the dx mood hits me. The distances are in kilometers and the power in kilowatts. My antenna is a 70 foot piece of wire about 10 feet off the ground. I am located at Beaver Dams, NY N42.15.3 W76.57.5 (please no missile aiming). The value column is the point value calculated as if it were for the crystal set receiving contest. It is figured at 10 times the distance divided by the log of the power.
