Come with sets in good working condition that you don’t mind having other club members operate. If you can bring a length of coax that can be connected to your radio, with a BNC connector on the far end, it would be helpful. We’ll try to have a lot of cables and adaptors, but we’ll need your help.

Let’s coordinate so we don’t end up with 13 All-American Fives. It would be nice to have representative receivers from the following categories:

• Crystal Sets
• Battery Sets: Regen, TRF-Regen, TRF, Superhet
• 1930’s & ‘40’s AC Sets: TRF, Superhet
• Other Entertainment Sets
• Communications Receivers: TRF-Autodyne, Single-Conversion,
• Multiple-Conversion
• Transistor Radios

Antennas
 
The primary antenna will be a Skywaves Wideband Antenna System (See the GE V-Doublet in Riders Volume VI.) feeding a multi-set coupler with 32 isolated outputs. There will also be tuned loops for the broadcast band, and a random wire or two for crystal sets.

Bring Your Sleeping Bag

Marconi Cottage 1 will be available for a sleepover. There are beds and cots and a working bathroom and kitchen. Bring your own bedding and towel. Please let the event chairman know if you’re likely to stay over.

What is a "DXpedition?" Rather than going to a distant, exotic locale, in our DXpedition we'll gather together at InfoAge, for one 24-hour day, with a collection of working radios representing the various eras of receiver design in an environment that will allow each of us the experience of operating these vintage sets and hopefully hearing some stations broadcasting from distant and exotic locals. We'll maintain logbooks of stations heard and crown the winner at the end of the event. We're going to take advantage of the great facilities and quiet listening environment available to us at InfoAge. The primary theme will be broadcast-band DX, but the antenna facilities will support short-wave and long-wave operation as well. We’ll maintain two log books for each receiver, one for stations heard and a second for user comments. A winner will be crowned at the end of the event. The logs can be published, with pictures, to the website for future reference. We can also shoot some video of each set in operation, and post to YouTube etc. Bring Your Radio Come with sets in good working condition that you don’t mind having other club members operate.
