Enjoy a bit more of my photography of my travels to interesting and special places - Travel is "The Spice of Life"

Travel is the spice of life - traveling to do radio DXing is even more incredible, as is being in a "cool" location to enjoy world-wide DXing, such as I did in Hawaii, Russia and now China in Nov. 2013.

St. Petersburg, Russia - a fascinating place to DX LW, MW - Saudi Arabia could be heard in hotel room on 1512 and 1521 kHz in St. Petersburg with just a loopstick antenna facing southward - unfortunately, one can't hear long-haul MW-BCB DX in the

overcrowded North American MW dial at all - not like that in Russia!
