John,

First off, your DX-60 in original, stock condition will do a very
respectable job on AM.  I'd suggest that you get on the high end of 40
meters, around 7290 to 7293, and look for other AM stations.  There is AM
activity quite often there out here in the Southwest (New Mexico).

There is a fun operating activity coming up in a couple of weeks, the
"Classic Exchange."  You can get more information on it at
www.classicexchange.org/ .  Click on "JANUARY 2013 CX ANNOUNCEMENT" for
specifics.  The phone session of the CX will run on Sunday, February 10.  On
the last CX in September, I had my DX-60 on 14270 AM and worked Rocco, N6KN,
in California three times using three different receivers, a 75A3, HRO-50R1,
and NC303.  Rocco gave my DX-60 a 59 report, so it does get out pretty well.
My antenna is nothing great, just a vertical 33 foot doublet.

Enjoy your rig!

Jim, W8KGI

John, on Saturday's at 6:45 CDT on 3.885 the Pre-net activity for the
Midwest Classic Radio Net starts. The MWCRN has been on the air since
1987, see our web site http://mcrn.tripod.com/index.html

As I said the pre-net starts at 6:45am CDT and runs till 7:30 when the
MWCRN starts. It's a bunch of great guys, lots of them from Wis, Iowa,
Mich, Indi, Illinois,  Minn, and a few from Kans. All but one or two of
us are running Classic radios. It's a few good time. Please join us.

I am the pre-net controller as well as one of the Net Controls, and I
want to extend a personal invite to join us.
