It is episode three of season 6, where we discuss some of the "other" kinds of DX that you can do besides AM and FM.  Not the easy ones like shortwave or ham radio....some of the more off-the-path types such as NOAA Weather Radio, NDBs on longwave, ADS-B, AIS ship tracking and TV DX!

We take a look at Nick Langan's fantastic article in Radio World magazine about AM DX in the Graveyard.   Check it out at:  https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/nicks-signal-spot/digging-up-the-am-radio-graveyard 

We also talk through setting your contrast within SDR Console to maximize the view of weak signals for FM DX during Sporadic Es so you can visually see even those weak/brief bursts.  (HINT:  this also helps during meteor scatter as well).

Bill Hepburn's Tropo Forecast (https://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html) is reviewed for the coming weekend and early week.

It's the final week of the Graveyard Challenge on 1230, 1240, 1340, 1400, 1450 and 1490 kHz, we will be announcing our next challenge on our Halloween show! 

Plus some great shoutouts from our audience make for a packed episode this week!
