There really should not be much talk about the end of the hobby. In the
last 5 years, there has been fantastic international DX reported from
Newfoundland, the midwest and the Pacific NW. Perhaps that is not your
thing, but it does indicate that with special antennas and special (SDR)
receivers, it is possible from North America to receive stations from
India to Mozambique to Chile.
There's plenty to keep me interested although it may mean travel for a
week and reviewing SDR recordings for a year.

I've read some of the comments and hope that someone else can pick up the

There is still DX on the MW band, you just need to dig more. Equipment and
antennas will play a larger role than in the past. Noise reduction is
something that we all need to learn. Station automation brings us stations
that don't switch to night power/pattern due to computer malfunctions so we
need to be active on the DX Lists. HS Football in the fall can bring in new
catches. And don't forget about stations on high power due to weather
conditions.
So don't give up on MW as change is always in the future.

Subject: [IRCA] AM LOGBOOK TO CLOSE
?
It
is with deep regret that I announce the closing of the AMLOGBOOK. I no
longer have the time nor the desire to spend the countless hours of
updating and keeping track of AM Radio stations. I have not DX'ed in
three years and do not see any Dxing in my immediate future.
