SkyWaveBirdDX Official Website

"The Main Source of DX this side of the Pacific.."

Hello there! Welcome to my website. I am SkyWaveBirdDX, also known as Mat. I am an avid SWL/DX'er here in sunny Southern California. I am also an amateur radio operator. Radio has intrigued me for some time now, and as soon as the DX/SWL vibes wanned over, I never looked back. Today, I find a lot of my free time used for this hobby, and I have had a lot of fun up to this point.

Here is my receivers that I use to DX:

• RSP1A SDR [RX1] (HF-VHF)
• Sony XDR-S10HDiP [RX2] (AM/FMBC)
• SPARC SHD-TX2 [RX3] (AM/FMBC)
• Eton Elite Executive [RX4] (HF-VHF)

Here are the transcievers that I use for amateur radio operations:

• Yaesu FT-2800M [TX1] (VHF/2m)
• Baofeng UV-5R [TX2](VHF-UHF/2m-70cm)

List of Antennas I use for both my receivers and transcievers:

• MLA-30 Active Magnetic Loop [RX1]
• Stellar Labs Four Element Directional FM Yagi [RX1/RX2/RX3(Modified)]
• Homemade 20/10 meter fan dipole antenna [RX1]
• Homemade 2 meter quarter-wave antenna (Out of service) [TX1]
• Bingfu Mobile Magnetic Base Antenna [TX2]

Here is a list of DX Logs I have compiled for various radio spectrums (More to be uploaded here soon!):
