HOUR 1
FM DX - recent tropo and Auroral Es. We take a look at Bill Hepburn's Tropo Forecast
New gear is here! - VE3PSZ model V3A High-Z Amplifier - this is going to be the matching unit and amplifier for my new ~35 foot low-noise vertical antenna that (hopefully) will be going up this weekend.

Also in Hour 1, we will be introducing our new MW Frequency Challenge frequency range for the week as well as our brand new data analysis dashboard for the weekly challenges!
HOUR 2
We are talking about feedlines! 50 ohm, 75 ohm, coax, twisted pair and even Cat 5/6 (I know Notorious B.O.G. is gonna love this!). Whether we are talking about AM DX, FM, shortwave, or beyond.....how to make sure this critical component of your signal chain doesn't let you down!
We look at our new challenge frequencies and identify possible target stations
NEW MWFC Frequencies - I used our new MWFC All-Season Data Analysis tool to help find some frequencies where we have much lower coverage/completion, while still offering a nice assortment of states and countries to chase. So, the data pointed very clearly to 580 - 600 kHz!
TOH DX
Hour 1 - We finish up on 910-930, to put a finish to Week 6 of the MWFC.
Hour 2 - We take a look at our new challenge frequencies of 580-600 kHz.
