There may no free lunch, but there is a free radio, offered here on this blog to a lucky commenter.
Early on, Qodosen sent me 2 DX-286 radios for review purposes. I use one of them almost every day, but the other languishes in a box. That ain’t right, so I am giving the radio away free to a reader of BlogOrDie!
How to participate:
- Leave a comment below that says you want to be considered for the free radio.
- Include your working email address on the comment form. Note that email addresses left on comments are not visible to the public. Your email address will not be used or sold for any purpose except arranging your prize delivery. You do not have to use your real name on the comment.
- You do not have to pay any fee or do anything beyond expressing interest to get the radio. You just have to be lucky.
Note: Comments do not appear until your first comment is approved. Don’t worry if you don’t see your comment. I’ll approve all of them before picking the winner.
How it will work:
- One entry per person.
- I will randomly select one entry from the comments left by midnight December 31, 2024, Eastern Standard Time.
- I will announce the winner as an update to this post.
- I will contact the winner by email, requesting your real name and shipping address. Addresses must be located somewhere with regular mail service from the USA.
Note: Batteries not included
Update 1:
At midnight (unless I fall asleep and it’s in the morning) I’ll make sure that all comments are approved. Then Microsoft Copilot will generate a random number between 1 and the number of comments there are. If the comment is mine or from someone who didn’t ask to be included, I’ll just generate another random number until I get an eligible comment.
I will reply to your comment announcing that you’re the winner and send you an email, requesting your name and shipping address. It will come from my Gmail account. Once I have the address I will ship the radio within a day or two, and email you the tracking information.
Update 2:
Well, I did fall asleep. Happy new year. Congratulations to reader Safak, who is the winner.
I would like to win a free radio, being a disabled person I depend on listening to a radio.
Hi Kevin,
Please enter me in the draw for the free radio. I’ve heard great reports about this model.
I’ve only just come across this website and love it. It’s eclectic, engrossing and written in terms even a non-techie like me can easily understand.
Kept up the great work!
Best regards,
Ian
Hi Kevin,

Newbie SWL here. I recently got my first radio the Tecsun PL-330 and love its portability. The DX-286 seems to be close in dimension and will be very intrigued to test both side by side. Happy holidays! 73
Yes! I would like to participate this giveaway program. I hope I am a lucky man. Thank you.
Hi there!
As I “dx” with mainly with FM this “super FM radio” would be spot on item to have!
It would travel all the way to land of Santa Claus, ho ho!
Hi Kevin,
I’d like to be considered for the DX-286. Some of the guys in our SWL/Scanner SIG have them and really like it. I’ve been reluctant because I already have some XHDATA radios that I like and an Elton E1 that is the best shortwave radio that I’ve ever had for digging out signals.
I’d like to compare the DX-286 with my other radios and write an article.
Thanks,
Kelly
Hello Kevin,
I chanced upon this giveaway only when I landed on your review of the Raddy RF886 radio (I do like it’s digital display/input but hate it’s pigmy antenna) on BlogOrDie! I have been seriously looking at the Qudosen DX-286 to add to my small collection and would love to be considered for the free unit.
Thank you for your honest reviews and, offering the excellent radio for free ! 🙂
Yes i want to listen to this radio!Thanks 🙂
please consider me! I really want to start with a descent radio and money is a little tight!
Yes, I’d like to be considered for the free Qodosen radio.

Hi Kevin,
I too want a chance at this radio. Thanks for not letting it collect too much dust and for your generosity!
Please consider me for the DX286. I understand it is a 5* radio for AM and FM according to Jay Allen. Thanks!
