November 2017 DX report:
November was a good month that kicked off with China being heard for the first time on medium wave. Station #2,100 was logged with the totals currently standing at 2,109 stations logged since 2009 (I don't count call letter changes). November had a little aurora that brought in a slew of new Southern stations and November also had a few good nights of Trans-Atlantic reception that included time pips on 1080 on the 27th @ 03:00 UTC matching those of Spain.
Receiver used: Microtelecom Perseus SDR
Antennas: 117 FT Reversible North/South D-KAZ loop or NE/SW phased BOGs 450 & 500 FT LG.
