As a newcomer, learning about the skies and what things affect DXing is fascinating. I started in August and at first I could pretty much only get Western Hemisphere stations on SW.
In September, things improved, and I began to catch signals from Africa, Asia and Europe. Now in October, things have changed again. Recently the Eastern Hemisphere catches I get are 90% from China. Formerly super-reliable signals from Brazil and Spain are no longer reliable at all. Meanwhile it’s amazing how much China is pumping into the airwaves.
