Dallas Lankford's library of articles

[ka3jjz]

Some of our Euro DXing comrades probably recognize this name better than our US folks. He was a prolific DXer and writer (I believe he was Danish or Norwegian) on a huge number of topics - antennas, technical, loops, etc. - and he passed away a few years back.

It seems the good folks at DXer.ca have captured all of his articles and put them in various zip files. I kinda wish the files were sorted, so if you're looking for something specific, you're going to need to make like a gopher and dig a bit. Be aware that his writing style is pretty technical in nature.

Anyway here's the link to the DXer.ca website....

This is Canada's original radio website - since 1996!

I've added this website to our wiki in various places. Capture them while you can - there's no guarantee they're going to stay there very long.....Mike

As mentioned elsewhere, DXer.ca is undergoing a huge update and it hasn't completed as yet. When it does, I will send out an announcement, and as I understand it, those files will be restored

Danish or Norwegian? Uh, nope.

You were probably thinking about the well-respected MW Dx-er Bjarne Mjelde - www.kongsfjord.no who was a good friend of Dallas

OK I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong, but I have loaded Dallas' 4 files - they are all zipped - onto my Google Drive, and you can find them here...

Just go down a little from here to a sub topic called Files

I can't seem to get them to download correctly, and I can't seem to get Dropbox to give me a public link. Anyone?
