Autumn/Winter 2016
CQ DX! If you had an unlimited budget, how would you outfit your Dream Station? The DX Engineering team was hanging around the radio shack asking the same question. So, we chose some of the best gear from the DX Engineering catalog and decided to build one. The result is what you see on the front cover. The station represents the pinnacle performers; the gear used by serious Ham Radio operators the world over. Built around the stunning Yaesu FTDX-9000MP, the station includes an ACOM Amplifier, Heil Microphone, DX Engineering accessories and more. For a full gear breakout, see the sidebar. The guy with the big grin at the controls is our Sales Manager, Bob W5OV. If you want to take our Dream Station for a spin, it’s waiting for you at our newly expanded Retail Showroom near Akron, Ohio. The “Dream Station” is a fun hypothetical—but the reality is not many of us have the checkbook (or spousal support!) to spend that kind of coin on Ham Radio equipment. The DX Engineering operators have plenty of experience maximizing their own budgets, so they’re really good at recommending gear that off ers excellent performance for Hams at any level. In fact, check out our Dream Station packages. We’ve assembled a series of station setups that can give you an impressive HF presence at several price tiers. Whatever it may entail, when you’re ready to build your Dream Station, call us. I hope to hear you on the air,
Tim Duff y K3LR Chief Operating Off icer and General Manager
