\"\"<\/a>Another great week in the MW Frequency Challenge, and you all continue to pour the logs in!\u00a0 Our live streams on Saturday nights have been so much fun getting to interact and hear about what you heard in the previous week.\u00a0 If you haven’t been able to make it to a livestream yet, you are missing out!\u00a0 Join us Saturdays at 1945 CST \/ 0145 UTC (Sunday morning, UTC) on our YouTube channel: \u00a0youtube.com\/c\/dxcentral<\/a><\/p>\n

A total of 29 DXers from three countries (Mexico, Canada and the US) and 17 US States brought in 82 logs for Week 9\u00a0 of our MW Frequency Challenge.\u00a0 \u00a0 25 unique stations in 18 states and six countries made it to this week’s log.\u00a0 The number of logged stations was down, because there are fewer stations on 550 than previous weeks.\u00a0 But look at that jump in countries…an opportunity here for DXers to get some great international DX!<\/p>\n

Most Logged Stations:<\/b> From runner-up last week to the top spot this week, South Carolina’s Rob Keeney hauled in an impressive 9 stations this week.\u00a0 Right on his heels, was Mark Connelly (MA) and Stephanie Battaglino (CA) with 7 each.<\/p>\n
