ABOUT THE C P C ~ , W FBi&CIS NITTLER

There have been no DXea lined up by the CPC brauee t b r e has been NO ONE who has vol- untemred t o write statiohs! I would appreciate i t i f myon6 who b e my free time wuld h l p out if poo~ible as it doe0 require a great deal of bvork to get jusrt on0 st& tion t o DX. Just U e w i g s , i t becarnee incre~eing3.y miter to a r r a g e DXes from sta tions as they just armr t interested in the hobby of DX any more. The biggest problem though i s the increasing number of ANe and 80 even on F%ndq Me i t leaves only a few frequencisa available for cle@r channels fo r DXes. I r ea lbe you. ionct need a coqletr ly clear u b m 1 for DX p r o g r w all t b time but tha AN situation has bec~bne cao bad that on the xaJoriQ of freqklsncies even on hgondgriysr the DX grogms would gef out only

the atotions are re~11y reluctant to put on a pro&?^ at ~B,fhll'$o$ld b O q l

Can' t understand nhy DX i s SO poor at t h i s lcat ion. Tha other place w a s surrounded by high tension l i ne s and ye t the Us, EIi\m K I R I UIEC 1YZ 1YC made i t in. I f i nd my antsnna tuner rea l ly i s in- dispensable and the loop Bs the be6 t antenna t r i ed , can' t put up a long vi re. The tun- e r does have an interact ion ' of controls and maybe I' 11 build a couple of tubes i n f o r buffers. ITo gain needed, tning has a gdin of 40 Lb as LS, just passive @in. But the real improveixent i s i n RF se lec t iv i ty .
