DX Ideas for 2022

..... after reading an article a email based DX forum  under the title
'What is/are your personal DX'ing challenge(s) for 2022?'
i posted a  minimal text in the email group hat was the v1 This is the v2 with some more analysis

For MW /SW ( I m mostly a SW listener )
Try to listen to some hard to listen stations as possible .As I know most stations on the band  I prefer also to listen  via remote SDRs in Europe and the SEA. Sounth east asia  is my main music  interest very long ago with interest in Thai Malay Indo and Taiwan. I  prefer  older Chinese pops before 90s whid for the remain three countries my interest is since the 80s and then
My holy grail on MW  is listening to Lyca Radio on 1458 , In my area in Thessaloniki the signal is very low ,even if checked  with the Tescun mini loop or the invert 16 m antenna. It is too bad that the remain country can receive it much better . See also below 

Listening to Greek pirate radio stations on MW is ranked 3-4  in my intereest  Many times I call them for some mini report via telephone The most interesting station is a 'friends’  CQAM  transmitter  that airs music in much better ‘quality’  than the local FM!
Many times i report in a related Facebook group with SDR screenshots from my RSP1a or the PL330

Semi-pirate or pirate  radio from Europe on SW is a different question The last two years was my only source of QSLs

There was a poor interest of enhancing  my basketenna. It is a  55x35 cm a former vegie plastic frame that was used 10 yeas ago and then stopped to use it abruptly after 2019. The idea  was simply  to tripled the turns so that the antenna can tune also on LW. As a MW Loop  it has more than 25 db higher signal than the Tecsun antenna. Its a design by a ham radio fan.

Living in Litohoron nearby the mountain Olympus (the  Gods home per Greek mythology)   the MW situation is much  better  but I have to be outdoors. I many times do my jogging and take my PL330 in a nearby jogging/spazieren  alley where many people do the same as I. I keep this radio  at hands while use mini  earbuds  to listen to several favorites radio stions in shortwaves while walking One of them is the infamous CNR13 /Xinjiang with funny program on 12-14 at includes music At 15 there is a Chinese subprogram. tested once Lyca with very good signal while on 17z and after and also Sawa from Djibuti. 

Instead of older times around  the 2000 period when there was  no noise inside the city, the last 3-4  years were very different even outside the city. In a power outage in the end of January 22  and using a installed 32 m wire fir shortwaves , reception was still noisy even if there is no electricity.  readout indicator shown a 30/00 signal form unknown noise that is possibly from the nearby mobile telecoms tower.  Its distance is around 100 m long. This noise was tested also in a few more points far from the village

For FM – using Tecsun PL radios is as like DXing .  its bandwidth is very narrow
The aim is only one: to update the FM listing in both areas  : Thessaloniki and Mount Olymp There are standard cases to listen several to stations from the Skopje borders (we in N.Grece or Macedonia call the country as Skopje,  you others call them N Macedonia) and also Blagoevgrad Bulgaria.  

My aim for this year is to test a few more antennas  starting with a home made Youloop , first without balun. Finding these accessories is quite difficult in this city 

 

Unrelated: last year i have ordered a few things from China via ebay with a total cost of around 15 Eu. the local post was quite slow to deliver the things:the
The first parcel was posted on Oct18 and delivered in around 120  days
The second parcel delivered via Athens then stopped updating the system and finally was  received after 110 days
The third parcel has been ...landed to the local distribution service on Jan 8. After that the parcel is possibly lost or stolen.
