Episode XII: Recapping the winter, Interview with Frank Merrill, Bryce & Nick audio highlights

The boys are back in town! We took the winter off, but Bryce & Nick returned at the end of March to discuss any notable DX happenings in the cold season in the northern hemisphere, and mainly just extol the virtues of Daylight Saving Time.

Our special guest this episode was veteran North American FM and TV DXer Frank Merrill. Frank's first TV DX memories occurred in the 1950s, and he took us from his start in Michigan, to his location to Toledo, to the magical location of Macomb, IL, where he has been DX'ing since 1985. We discussed some of his best catches, including the Thanksgiving and Christmas openings in 1986, how we insist he has logged the lower 48 on FM, and his affinity for the Bolin phase box. Frank has now permanently settled in Chicago.

Finally, both Bryce and Nick provided clips in the Audio Highlights section of some of their best FM DX in their careers. Bryce showcases some tropo catches from his time in TN, while we hear his outstanding Es catches from Cape Cod to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Colombia, and France, from the 2021 and 2022 E-Skip seasons.
