Thanks for sharing! There was an intermittent hum or buzz in the audio this time around, perhaps your microphone is getting a loose connection or wire? Best regards!

Enjoyed it greatly. With the solar events of the past couple of days, 31 spots yesterday and 32 today coupled with solar flux readings in the 70s, I'm a bit more upbeat than you. I think we are in the early stages of Cycle 24. Of course there are arguments both ways. Cheers, T.C. Patterson Thanks,as usual Bob. Enjoyed it greatly.

I also enjoyed the marching music interlude too. I am concerned about the lack of sunspots and for the next sunspot cycle to kick off, seems as though the shortwave reception of 6 years ago will be a long way off yet even though you are hearing good things in Melbourne, here in Port Macquarie NSW Australia it is a different story with very variable reception conditions especially during our evenings from 0700 to past 1200, reception on most bands is appalling with weak noisy signals if they are there at all! Thanks for another terrific DX Show 167 and best regards!

Yes, the lack of sunspots is a worry, I guess it will happen eventually, I have noticed a slight improvement in some reception conditions but maybe this is due to the current shift of the sun from northern to southern hemisphere. Love the song at the end and thanks for sharing! Best regards! Michael Stevenson Hello Bob, ADXR 165 has been up to your usual standard which is always high quality.
