  I am using DX Sherlock for alerts on possible 2 meter band openings.  I signed up with them using my phone's email address, so it sends a text message to the phone.

    Maybe we could get a few people that are around the radio or computer sent a text message to those who want to get the info.

    Hello,



    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.
