[2m] new mwmber into/DX spots

[Jimmy_C "kc9pxz"]

Hello,

My name is Jimmy my call is kc9pxz. I found this list searching the net and thought I would join. My statoin right now is simple one.  I have a rohn tower 50 ft. toped be a diemound 510 daul band 2 meter/440 antenna feed with RG8 to a IC28H rig powered my a aston RS-20A.

Well... I  guess there  was a 2 meter opening a few days back  & I missed yet enother one. SO.... I got to thinking,  I am not always at my PC to read the emails from DX Sherlock  witch is the one i use,    however i am never far from a radio in my free time when i don't have other things i am going and enjoyong.  I was wondering what other use for DX spotting? I was also wondering if there was a App. out there to get DX spots on my cell phone. 

Any suggestions on a good beacon in my area "Wisconsin",  for those outside my area. My grid is  EN43QT. There are so many 2 meter beacons it somtimes like,  Holy radio waves batman! wicth ones to tune Hi Hi. 

I have also stated looking at General covage recievers but do have a couple scanners that pick up 2 meters when my radio is in use otherwise i can just have my rig on scan in the back ground. 

Thank you for your time.
