Yeah, but at least that's radio related (although I do agree, it's beating a dead horse). What's going on now is childish character assassination (e.g. calling the president a donkey u-no-what and comparing him to Hitler.) It has nothing to do with shortwave radio, so it shouldn't be here. Also, when JM starts petty arguments with that fellow from "Disclosure" (e.g."They pay me to be on the radio, but you have to pay for your show ha-ha"), we should "lower the boom" on them, too.

I too am weary of wading through the muck for the few nuggets of real info. I propose a new newsgroup [MODERATED] which will include nothing but the following: 1. shortwave news 2. station schedules 3. shortwave loggings It will NOT include: * equipment topics * antenna advice * general info queries * queries re station/program info * program discussion * newbie advice * scanner topics * advertisements of any kind * political commentary * flames This has all, of course, been proposed and discussed before. However, our ranks have now grown to the proportion that makes such a splinter group necessary. With all due respect to newcomers and those whose shortwave listening comes attached to a political agenda, I've been DXing since the early 1960's, and only have time to read a handful of useful news/logging messages, leaving the endless novice advice, "how to use your phone line as antenna" articles, and demolition of eachothers' political beliefs to those who enjoy that stuff.

I was wanting to do some DXing on MW and SW. The atmospheric conditions were quite bizarre that night. On MW I would conservatively estimate that 60 percent of the audible stations were Spanish-speaking. The U.S. stations kept fading out. Trying to DX these south of the border stations was impossible - my Spanish is horrible, and I didn't have a copy of the WRTH (I'm waiting for my 1996 copy to arrive). However, all was not lost. I picked up something I hadn't heard before - a "time" station (such as WWV on SW). From 1815 local time throughout the evening, I picked up this Spanish language station at 570 kHz. There was a clock ticking time, and at each minute a three-note chime would ring. I also picked up the station at, I believe, 790 kHz (WBBM, 780, became audible briefly, and the time station was just to the right of that). This signal was quite weak, and faded out after a few minutes. Does anyone know the identity of these stations? I was listening on a SRIII, using only its internal antenna, no extra stuff.

When I bought it at the Raleigh flea market in 1975 it worked fine. More recently it has stopped working although all the tubes are lit. I am aware that electrolytic capacitors often are the components least resistant to the ravages of time and would like to replace them, but how do I tell if they are defective? thanks.

I was afraid that the city might produce all sorts of QRM and make reception impossible. Lots of people including yourself love those R390A's. I am on the lookout for one in good shape to add to my collection. (if you can call one set a collection, ha ha) Currently, my SX-24 is sitting aside waiting recapping. I know that the line bypass cap is bad and it has some frayed insulation, so I am going to rebuild it from the ground up. It was a gift from my grandfather, and got me started listening to SW and got me interested in tube electronics. I am 22, and I love the old tube stuff. Tube radios have soul, something that you just cannot get in sand-state equipment. Plus the sound is wonderful. Nothing like several watts of audio versus 300mW commonly found in sand-state radios. I too really love pulling up a chair and using my imagination to follow what is going on. Plus I have great memories of going into my Grandfather's basement workshop and helping work on the old tube stuff. Haven't been to his workshop in a long time, and am looking forward to going back now that I know what I am looking at as far as tube electronics are concerned! Currently I am on the lookout for several sets. I am looking for a Hallicrafters S-38A or B as a nice smaller radio, as well as keeping my eyes out for something nice in a Hammarlund HQ or Super Pro and a National HRO with all the coils would be nice too! An R390A in very good shape would be welcome too.

(Target Area must be: North America - not the United States!) You see this arrangement already in the WYFR and Voice of Free China mutual relays. VOFC gets excellent coverage in North and Central America. WYFR gets a relay to broadcast programs to South Asia. Since that is a mix of private and government broadcasters, precedence has already been set. All the US SW broadcasters need is satellite uplink/downlink capability to take care of the feeder signals.... Wonder if any of them with think of this?

I dont think all the loggings in MT are legit. Sorry to burst your bubble but there are a lot of folks that will say a lot of things just to get their name in print in a magazine that has subscribers worldwide. Of course, NONE of the folks that submit to MT would EVER do THAT! When I can sit in my very noise ridden ham shack and hear some russian running 10 watts using a vertical antenna, and I, using a ham/swl radio and an inverted v, it really is hard to believe that it would be so hard to hear a 1kw pirate.

Yes, it's a rapid vibrato wobble (several Hz) that decays very rapidly (about 1/2 sec), but I have never noticed any effect from the speaker on FM or AM, even though I sometimes baffle the speaker so that I can get higher audio quality at higher sound levels. No audible problem listening to loud Morse on SSB, or SSB or SYNC voice.

When I bought my 390, I also purchased the Realistic Amplified Shortwave Antenna; it does a good job of amplifying weak signals, but it also amplifies static. I later when back to Radio Shack and picked up their external antenna kit, which primarily consists of a long coil of copper wire, an alligator clip to clip the end of the wire to your telescopic antenna, and an insulating connector to attach the wire to the side of your house. If you have a couple of trees in the backyard to attach to, or can devise some other means of suspending the wire overhead, it works great. The price was right, too (about ten bucks)!

A LISTSERV reflected mailing list would be second best, in my opinion, as its "provenance", so to speak (perhaps "audience awareness" would be a better term) would be smaller than a Usenet group.

I think that you will enjoy the hobby. Your assumptions are very good and I would state accurate ones. DX generally means distance or distant. Whilst DXing is the active pursuit of Distant, or Weak or lesser heard stations. There are several 'camps' or interests within the hobby: Program Listening (probably the most common), DXing (as explained above), Utility monitoring (listening to non broadcast, or utility stations) with both voice and data communication branches. I would daresay that most people who regularly listen to the SW bands are Program Listeners, a smaller subset are DXer's and smaller still are the "Ute" hunters. Hope that this helps...

I believe the unit's name is the Becker Mexico. Becker makes two models with the Mexico being the cheaper of the two and the better value for the money. These units were detailed in the 1995 WRTH.

(please). 73s and TNX, Chris Chris, Here in Raleigh the local power company has a couple of guys who track down powerline nose complaints. They've always helped me out. It may be that your local power company has the same thing. Obviously the best solution would be to get the power company to fix it, but if that's not possible, you might look at the ANC-4 from JPS Communications, Inc. It connects between your antenna and receiver, and does a great job reducing locally generated noise. You can read about it at http://emporium.turnpike.net/J/JPS/jps.html or email jps@nando.net for more info.

Symptoms were flickering and turning off of display as the hinged top was closed and the main power (green) ON/OFF switch not working with the radio closed - i.e. power could not be shut off with the radio playing but closed. Sent it in to Sony repair in Massachusetts; they sent it back 3 weeks later UNCHANGED! I had them pick it up at their expense for (hopefully) a final repair. Another thing I worry about in the future - how long will the tiny tabs on the battery compartment hold out?

The freq restabilizes when the "bump" is finished. This wouldnt be too bad except the speaker acoustic output imparts a small force to the innards resulting in a freq variation proportional to the sound amplitude. This causes big problems on SSB. I took my 100 back and exchanged it for a new one. SAME PROBLEM. The SW100 review in 73 magazine cited the exact same problem. However, some users report no similar problems. Is it possible that these users just listen to AM and do not notice the problem or do they really have rock stable SW 100s? I am ready to do battle with SONY to get a good SW 100, but will I just get another wobbly oscillator? Would SW 100 owners please try the following and report results here: tune in WWV on 5, 10 or 15 Mhz, put it in the CW mode, now bump the radio with your hand. Do you hear a deviation in the beat note that corresponds to your bump force? Thanks in advance for your input.

I'm focusing in particular on the role of shortwave in international broadcasting and what future it has compared with other delivery methods, including local rebroadcasts, satellite, cable etc. I'm canvassing the broadcasters themselves - I'm also keen to hear from the 'consumers' - perhaps you could consider the following, and mail me: * why listen to international broadcasts? * what are the advantages/disadvantages of shortwave * how do you receive international broadcasts: shortwave, satellite, cable ... ? * will you still be listening to international broadcasts in five, ten years time? * which international broadcasters are doing it right/which aren't, and why? Additional comments are welcome. The plan is for the final project report to be available by August-September this year. I look forward to getting your views!

The DX 390 does not posess enough dynamic range to avoid overloading with the longwire. With enough signal strength applied, it simply loses the ability to reject frequencies other than what is actually tuned. Shortening the longwire and lowering RF gain (if the set has a control) might help but the real answer is a higher quality radio. I've had great luck with both Sony and Yaesu.

I really liked it and think that in its class (portables) this is one of the best. Couple things I did not like, however: 1. When bandscanning the reception mutes: this was REALLY frustrating; 2. There is no LSB or USB: combined in one BFO; 3. Sensitivity is worse than the one of any tabletop (what else can one expect for the money?) 4. It does not have number of other things tabletops have but I did not need very much at the beginning. To conclude, with a good antenna (long and high enough random wire) this was a good receiver for me. P.S. Now I have R-5000: not really a 1000 miles away from DX-390 though.

J., is expected to increase its programing to 24 hours by mid-January. WJDM, which debuted an adult contemporary music mix weeknights on its new 1660 khz frequency in early December (it had been at 1530), was the first of hundreds of AM stations awaiting an FCC assignment for an expanded-band frequency. Owner and president John Quinn says the station's 1 kw signal has been heard from Maine to Maryland. But Quinn has been tight-lipped about what type of programing he will choose as a 24-hour format. "I can't tell you what it is, but it's going to be something this area has never had before and something it desperately needs," he says. Quinn serves as chairman of the National Association of Broadcasters committee for the expanded AM band and says that WJDM met certain criteria that qualified the station for preferential treatment from the FCC. Specifically, WJDM broadcasts to a community of at least 100,000 that had no nighttime service on a clear-channel AM. Quinn contends that he may continue broadcasting music on 1660 because the "signal sounds tremendous." He estimates there are 290 million radios in circulation nationwide equipped to receive an expanded-AM-band signal. "This is the best thing the FCC has done for AM in years and we're setting an example of what can happen when you have good spacing between stations," Quinn says. "People didn't realize how good these signals can sound." From 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. weekdays, WJDM 1660 simulcasts its sister 1530 signal, which is leased-time to a religious broadcaster. At 6-10 p. m. weeknights, WJDM broadcasts music. On weekends, the station simulcasts special-interest shows with 1530 during the day and at 6-10 p. m.

This causes big problems > on SSB. My '100 goes WoWoWooWooo if I bump it. The solution is not to bump it. The PLL also hunts a bit, perhaps +-10 Hz at a rate of a few Hz. This is not a microphonic effect, since it even happens when listening with headphones. To my ears this doesn't materially affect '100s SSB clarity, which is almost as good as my Drake R8 in most cases. Results with different ears may vary. I've heard this drives some folks crazy. The hunting makes listening to music in ECSS (AM tuned in SSB) mode pretty ridiculous, even if you're lucky enough to have the carrier close enough to one of the 100 Hz steps. Fortunately, the synchronous mode works so well I hardly miss having ECSS. I haven't noticed any acoustical feedback. My '100 seems most susceptible to vibration at sub-audio frequencies, which its tiny speaker cannot reproduce. -- John Doty "You can't confuse me, that's my job." jpd@space.mit.edu From Unknown Fri Jan 05 12:50:35 1996 Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.localnet.com!ub!news.kei.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in1.uu.net!voa3!ke From: ke@VOA.GOV (Kim Andrew Elliott) Subject: Re: Hotel room DX Message-ID: Organization: Voice of America References: <4cf14i$a6l@sundog.tiac.net> Date: Thu, 4 Jan 1996 13:43:13 GMT Lines: 10 Yes, a few feet of wire connected to an alligator clip is essential for shortwave listening while traveling. If you do not have luck connecting the antenna to a wall plate in the hotel room, placing the wire next to the window may be the next best solution.

I just got my R5000 back after a long stay in the Kenwood hospital, and have a brand-spanking new long-wire antenna hidden in my attic where my landlord can't see it. A couple of humble submissions from my local New Years Eve here in northern Columbus, Ohio: 0034-0157 UTC 4985.00 kHz La Voz del Rio Arauca, Colombia. Lots of Latin party music with M DJ, frequent TCs and IDs as "La Voz del Rio Arauca presenta Rumba RCN." Also lots of mentions of "Colombia y Venezuela" (Arauca is on the border with Venezuela). At 0100 UTC, time pips(!) about 30 seconds fast, then more party music with live crowd in the background. 0342-0500 UTC 5040.42 kHz La Voz de Yopal, Colombia. Another RCN outlet partying hearty, with lots of live music and DJ hype. This DJ was _really_ enthused. After 0400 or so, broke into the music nearly every minute with an update on the time. Occasional IDs thrown in, spoken rapidly, as "La Voz de Yopal, RCN," and lots of mentions of "Colombia" and "Colombiano." I'm glad this DJ was prone to shouting, fair level at best with a nasty high-pitched het. At 0452, DJ shouted "Cinco minutos, cinco minutos!" (their clock was obviously three minutes fast!) then counted down the minutes till 0457, when the crowd and the DJ broke into cheers and shouting. Followed by the Colombian NA, then the party continued. Sounded like a real good time! My first log of this one, for some odd reason an elusive catch for me.

A few ideas: 1) Make sure all connections between computer, monitor, and other peripherals are securely fastened. 2) Coil excess slack in all cables (monitor, power, mouse, modem, speakers, et c.), and secure with tie wrap. This will reduce radiation/reradiation. Mice seem to be especially 'noisy.' 3) Use ferrite chokes on the the monitor data cable. You might want to try a choke at both the monitor and computer. Radio Shack sells both a transformer variety (coil around) and a snap-on. Put one on the mouse cable near the PC port. 4) Locate the radio as far away from the computer/monitor as practical. 5) Try to put the radio on a separate power circuit (different breaker). Use R FI (radio frequency interference) filtered outlet strips with surge suppresion fo r both computer and radio. 6) Use a coax cable from your radio to antenna, and use good grounding techniques. Keep the coax and antenna as far from the computer and monitor as possible. 7) Make sure brighteness and contrast controls are set to reasonable levels. It's conceivable that a monitor driven 'full on' might be more prone to genera te RFI. 8) Make sure the computer case is securely fastened with all screws down tight, and make sure that slot covers are in place. Good luck.

I'm using mine with a NRD-535D for utility listening. Keep in mind that the headphone jack is for stereo phones. To use with mono phones you need to add in line a stereo to mono adapter. I find that it reduces the noice. It has taken me awhile to learn how to use it. The digital warbling is an artifact of how the unit works. It takes getting used to. I find it very helpful at times, somewhat helpful at other times, sometimes its a toss up and finally at times it adds noice. Finally, keep in mind that you are adding a "box" into the chain. That "box" reduces the energy reaching the headphones. The unit includes a 3 watt amp (I think). It helps bring the volume up. I got a pair of Kenwood phones (the HS-5s) and they work quite well.

I am extremely new to shortwave listening and I have a couple of questions. 1) I have a RS DX-375 and for some reason I am unable to tune in frequencies between 6250 and 7100. Is there a reason? Can it be rectified? This talk about 6955 got me interested and I was disappointed at my inability to get this. 2) Is reception different on the open ocean than in the city? Currently I am based in Cincinnati, Ohio, But I work on a cruise ship 10 months of the year. Can I pick up different stations in different places? My itinerary includes Acapulco, Costa Rica, Panama, Santo Domingo, St. Thomas, San Juan, Aruba and Curacao until May, when it changes to Vancouver, Juneau, Honolulu, Kauai, Maui, and Hilo and Kona. I bought this radio to kill many long hours at sea with nothing to do (I am a musician) and I would like to get the most out of my listening while at sea. Any interesting observations?

Sure at the present I can hear WJDM down here in South Carolina, and it does not give me any "local service" either. That part of New Jersey does not have any LOCAL service, in other words a station programming TO the New Jersey area there. It also seems that Rock Hill / Chester / York SC is close to being in that boat as TWO stations (one is now WBT-FM licensed to Chester SC but simulcasting WBT AM because their DA pattern wont go 15 miles west at night) and the 1150 in Rock Hill is simulcasting a Charlotte religious station) That leaves NO loca radio service for all of Chester County and most of York county, except for the tiny range WBKZ on 980 has with it's night time flea power and the graveyard station on 1340 in Rock Hill you might be lucky to hear almost 10 miles.

Actually supposedly they tried local stuff and they nearly went broke. They are doing a lot of brokering to stay ON. It seems those 50,000 watt clear channels have combinations of stuff (IF frequencies and the like) that cause interference on 1530.

I consider it to be useful indoors (or with any indoor antenna) only for the strongest signals (the BBC on a good day). Otherwise an outdoor external antenna of some type is a necessity. I don't know the sensitivity of this radio, but I've had better. This opinion is from both home use (in central California) and in hotels in various cities. Your best bet is to find the best indoor antenna and then get the BBC schedule and find the freq./time with the strongest signal. But the times you can listen will probably be limited. Also, windows facing North and West is a disadvantage, since there aren't too many stations in that direction. The radio as sold came with an external antenna plug, with screws to attach to a external antenna. If you no longer have this, you might be able to get it from Sony. Its not listed specifically in the service manual, but it may be part number X-3329-657-1. Check with the Sony Consumer Service Center (in San Jose).

I hear them quite often here in Florida, not the best location for pirate chasing. Signal levels are usually weak, and tuning them in involves more patience than listening the powerhouse international broacasters the the BBC or HCJB who keep regular broadcast schedules. I usually leave my Drake camped on 6955kHz on the weekends and monitor the audio. A good antenna/receiver setup helps, and you might want to practice tuning weak SSB signals on the ham bands. I find it easier to fine-tune the weak pirate USB sigs on 6955 when music is being played. You should monitor this newsgroup for logs of pirate activity, as the info in MT is quite dated by the time I receive mine.

There is a constant 48 volt DC on the line when the receiver is off hook. The ringing voltage is 106 volt AC with about 250 ma ringing current. Without the proper isolation filters you stand a chance of overloading your receiver front end and could expose your receiver to far greater voltages/currents if there is a accident in or near your neighborhood. By this let me say that the telco network puts a lightning/current arrestor outside your house to protect surges. However it is possible via a auto accident or back hoe cut of a telco cable to also come in contact with the local power cable which can be as high as 34.5 KV. So you need to beware. Todays telco network has become less copper based and more electronic based with the placement of digital loop carrier closer to your house. This equipment is highly protected from surges via power, lightning and user equipment. Overall it may not give you what you are expecting and is it worth the gamble to your receiver?

The Westwood MA service center was probably crucial in my decision to dump my SW-55. It was sent there by the local Sony center. My complaints were an intermittent BFO (pressure on the cabinet made it come back on) and the BFO "pulling" that has been described on this and several other Sony models. It was returned with the BFO no longer intermittent, and still unstable. The front of the case was scratched, and the inside surface of the massive LCD bezel was imprinted with a huge palm print. Inside the box was a Hi8 videocassette bearing a return address label of someone in Boston. It was between the 2nd and 3rd trips to Sony that I bought my HF-150. It was after my adamant, insulting phone call from a Sony customer rep that I sold the radio.

The best advice I can give you is to take a small portable AM radio, walk thru the neighbohood, shake some guy wire or hit a pole with a sledge hammer to try to find the one that makes a difference in noise levels.

(I believe the nightt ime power was ~1000 watts and that that limit still exists.) The explanation h e received was that the transmitting antenna was directional and that it was p ointed to the northeast.

Here in the Boston area, its available from "Service Merchandise" catalog showroom stores, and from Radio Shack. Price about $30 from either source. Its a pretty mediocre FM stereo unit, but yes, it really does receive AM stereo, and the effect is interesting. Comes with really lousy headphones. There was a thread on this newsgroup a long while back about cannibalizing the SRF-42 for its Sony AM-stereo chip, and some ideas about using it to build a sync detector for shortwave.

If another : ground is available, you can connect it here. First I'd like to point out to anyone wanting to do this that the phone lines have anywhere from 48 - 90 v AC power on them for ring cycles. Also there is apporximatley 9 v DC for what we in the telephone industry call "Talk Battery". I don't know about the yellow wire being a ground as well. It is usually used along with the black wire in residential phones for your second phone line. Second I'd be careful cause you never know when you might get a surge not only durring lightning storms but also could happen at any time as well. Third what would the phone company do IF they found your radio equipment attached to a system that is not designed for this interface ? would they blame any local problems on this connection? I would think so. Would they contact the FCC ? I'd bet they would.

However I like a self-policing group just for the same reason I like shortwave. Shortwave carries ideas of every type and you can hear them all or not hear them all...the choice is yours. If you don't want to hear the National Alliance or RFPI you just tune to a more moderate station or one or the other of the stations mentioned if that is your taste. The same is true of a newsgroup. The best way to rid ourselves of the spams and criticisms of what is on shortwave,etc is to not answer these posters. They will soon go away when they can't get an answer. And that is better than policing the newsgroup. But I like the general concept. I have been quite surprised that SW buffs should be so offended by what they hear on the radio. It is that freedom of broadcasting that makes SW special. gloria From Unknown Fri Jan 05 12:51:39 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.kei.com!nntp.coast.net!news00.sunet.se!sunic!news99.sunet.se!news.funet.fi!news.kbfi.ee!anubis.kbfi.ee!ylo From: ylo@anubis.kbfi.ee (Ylo Mets) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: New SONY 1000T -- Got Any Info?

As a broadcast engineer, I've dealt with situations like this and my best recommendation is find somebody knowledgeable locally to help you. Have you tried asking the station for help? A local ham group? A couple of things to check: Make sure that common is tied to the shield at the MIXER end of the cable. Often both ends is better - try it both ways. Is the mixer grounded to a good earth ground (not just the power line)? Try unplugging things one at a time and see what makes it worse or better. What kind of cable are you using? If its cheap (radio shack) you might get improvement by going to at LEAST a 95% over all shielded cable. If the mixer is poorly designed, none of this may work. I had one that was so bad once that the only way to cure it was to put transformers on all the mic inputs (expensive). Oh, and how are the cables routed from the mixer to the whatever? Low to the ground is better than in the rafters, as rafter wire is an efficient antenna. Good luck!

The acronym is CPRV. I *think* it stands for "Committee to Preserve Radio Verifications", but I don't have a copy of anything with a CPRV page in it here at work to check (many club bulletins feature a CPRV page with rare QSLs from the past each month). CPRV can supply stickers for you to place on your QSL collection saying that you eventually want the collection to be donated to the CPRV, rather than letting them be thrown out or something and losing a piece of radio history forever. CPRV's archives are kept at the offices of the Christian Science Monitor stations in Boston. CPRV provides a very worthwhile service. I even know of a few radio stations that are missing early QSLs that have contacted CPRV for help. You can reach the keeper of the archives, Jerry Berg, at jberg@tiac.net for more information. I believe there is also a European equivalent of the CPRV (although there's no official link between the two that I know of).

I have a slightly differing view... For some, indeed many, broadcasters the need for _traditional_ verification reports are not as necessary or desirable as they once were for technical reasons... I really doubt that the Beeb, DW, or RN are uncertain if their broadcasts are reaching their intended target area very often. Perhaps they are useful for marketing and survey purposes... How many listeners do we have that are interested enough to mail us? What frequency do they tend to listen to and why. For other stations, mainly smaller or newer, they are useful for technical purposes in addition to the reasons outlined above. However I can see a much more streamlined and "green" way of achieving the same goals being easily possible for many with todays technology... With the extreme rapid growth of the WWW I can see some smart station net guru setting up a "QSL submission Page" within their net area. The listener types in a report based on information requested within the web form & what he has heard on the air and submits it for verification. If the information is accurate the person is granted access to an previous blocked off area where a color graphic image of a full data verification form is available for downloading via his or her web browser and then the graphics can be saved into a word processor, or graphics program for printing on an inexpensive color inkjet printer. Sure the listener in Greater Upper Lower Volta probably will not have the Net connection, printer or computer, but many people in industrialized nations will or already do. Lots of savings here... You don't have to buy stamps, IRC's envelopes, etc. The mail doesn't have to be delivered from my PO to the airport or ship then transported to the intended country via fossil-fuel vehicle (and back), the person reading the report won't have to decipher my lousy handwritting (although my Newton reads it pretty well :-), no paper cuts, and less waste of paper, etc. Sure it is a real kick to get a postcard from a foreign land, but I'd be satisfied with a QSL via the method I outlined above. As a matter of fact I would be a much more frequent QSLer!

It makes the RF circuits > less expensive to produce. I've read several explanations that some models are limited to the international broadcast bands because it is unlawful in some countries (Italy comes to mind) to monitor the frequencies in between, which are used for things like military communications. In places where such restrictions don't exist, the radios can be sold at the low end, for sale to people who only want to tune into the BBC. I also suspect that it's one of the features with which they entice you to spend more money. At any rate, I doubt that the gaps have anything to do with build cost. My understanding is that the biggest cost is in frequency agility (the ability to cleanly switch frequencies, when scanning), and stability, neither of which is influenced by these gaps. It's very likely that the RF circuitry is capable of full coverage, and that the gaps are programmed into the microprocessor (through on-chip ROM). In fact, I'll bet they use the same guts with a different ROM to produce a continuous coverage radio (though not for Radio Shack). I had a professor who was using such "configuration control" in some (non-radio) design work he did under contract ten years ago, so it is not a new idea. In response to the the original poster, the catalog plainly shows that the DX-375 covers 2.3 to 6.25 and 7.1 to 21.85 MHz. It is the higher-priced DX-390, DX-392 and DX-394 that offer continuous coverage. The salesperson may have been thinking of the DX-390, which is on sale for (I believe) an unprecedented third month, when claiming contrinuous coverage. If this feature is important to you (it's going to cost you another $100-$130, depending on where you buy), you should take advantage of the 30-day return policy. According to Harry Helms' excellent _Shortwave_Listening_Guidebook_ (an impulse purchase at the local Barnes & Noble), the gap between 6.25 and 7.1 includes amateur radio, maritime, and utility, while the frequencies above 21.85 include more amateur radio, utility, and CB. According to the 1996 Passport, there are some broadcasters between 6.25 and 7.1, but they appear to be "clandestine" and "pirate" stations, plus a few mainstream broadcasters (VOA, RCI) that are also available in the usual bands. If these are worth the money to you, then go for it. In that case, you may also want to investigate the radios' LW coverage. -Jim.

I've had little luck picking up regular AM radio on the trains, let alone any DXing. The cars act as partial Faraday shields, and the train's lighting often makes loads of noise.

As the original poster, let me say that I think this is bad advice. I have yet to see a Sony AN-100 active antenna outperform my homemade roll-up *dipole* (and I've tried in a variety of circumstances). I doubt the Radio Shack antenna can do better than the Sony. A wire with two alligator clips is inadequate, because it only enhances one side of the antenna: whether you're aware of it or not, any antenna has (at least) two legs. Today's tiny portables are so small that their bodies are thoroughly inadequate as the "ground" side of an unbalanced antenna. A quantitative analysis of the AN-100 suggests that amplification is not the primary mechanism by which it improves reception, but rather the fact that the body of the AN-100 and the shielded cable that attaches it to the radio increase the bulk of the ground side. Of course, when using the AC adapter the radio is grounded to the AC line. In this case, signals are generally strong but noise is also usually high. When trying to catch DX in a portable setup I therefore will normally use batteries (at home, the use of *well grounded* coaxial cable from the antenna solves the power line noise problem). This, however, requires that some sort of ground be provided for adequate reception. In the original post, the "antenna" was an electrical access plate (or, more accurately, whatever unknown wiring the plate was connected to), while the "ground" was 10' of wire lying on the floor (it also worked equally well the other way around). Active antennas are a particularly bad choice in urban environments, where they increase your susceptibility to strong signal overload. -- John Doty "You can't confuse me, that's my job." jpd@space.mit.edu From Unknown Tue Jan 09 18:46:31 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!senator-bedfellow.mit.edu!benz!jpd From: jpd@space.mit.edu (John Doty) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: Hotel room DX Date: 8 Jan 1996 19:44:10 GMT Organization: MIT Center for Space Research Lines: 54 Message-ID: <4crs6a$969@senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU> References: <4coq6b$7jh@senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU> <4cr16l$os6@newsbf02.news.aol.com> Reply-To: jpd@space.mit.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: benz.mit.edu Originator: jpd@benz In article <4cr16l$os6@newsbf02.news.aol.com> edslat@aol.com (EDSLAT) writes: > I can also think of reasons why my little Radio Shack active antenna > shouldn't work very well in hotel rooms, including the inherent noisiness > of a vertical vs horizontal (directional) element.

Would inductance coupling "ground" the > receiver? Or is another mechanism operant? You're thinking that the noise and signals are travelling via the "differential" mode, in which the energy is carried by a field between the two conductors. In fact, the usual problem is "common mode" noise, in which the noise energy is carried by a field between the entire cable and its surroundings. For a given amount of noise energy, the voltage is higher for common mode coupling (because the common mode characteristic impedance is higher), and voltage is what primarily couples to an electrostatic antenna like a short whip or dipole. Another way of saying this is that the capacitive coupling between the various wires of the AC line is so large that they tend to be at nearly the same RF potential. In addition, a well designed AC adapter will kill the differential mode by putting a bypass capacitor across the line. Thus, at HF, the AC line behaves more like a single wire than a multiconductor cable. Two of the three wires in a 110V line are grounded, so it's like having a fairly long ground cable. If you have a good low impedance ground nearby to measure it against, any of the wires of the AC line will typically show an impedance of a few hundred ohms at HF (expect wide variations). The capacitive coupling between the windings of a power transformer is hundreds or thousands of pF, so at HF the impedance between the input and output of the AC adapter is usually relatively small. At the same time, the body of a tiny radio is a lousy ground, with a body capacitance of only a few pF. With the SW100, just holding it in your hand or placing it on a metal surface noticeably enhances reception. Thus, connecting an AC adapter lowers the impedance of the ground side of the antenna system substantially. It's also true that as a piece of wire, the AC line picks up signals on its own. Of course the signals it picks up the best come from gadgets connected directly to it, so it tends to be very noisy. -- John Doty "You can't confuse me, that's my job." jpd@space.mit.edu From Unknown Tue Jan 09 18:46:32 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.kei.com!nntp.coast.net!zombie.ncsc.mil!paladin.american.edu!auvm!SRS.USA.COM!TIM Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Message-ID: <199601081743.MAA436128@atlanta.american.edu> Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 11:34:00 LCL Reply-To: Tim Manwell Sender: "Short Wave Listener's List" From: Tim Manwell Subject: How do I sign off?

This has been my introduction to the wonderful world of SW, DX, and all those other letters. I am wondering if I could cheaply find a good reliable antique shortwave that would outperform this Radio Shack model. I know this may be picky, but can I expect a SW receiver to stay tuned so I don't have to constantly mess with it while I'm on the Internet. I like to listen at night (12:30am) when I get home from work. My little Radio Shack doesn't seem to stay tuned very long. I've gotten oodles of antique radio catalogs from people, but now I'm not sure where to go for advice on WHICH antique radio to consider. Or do you think I should just spend $200 or more and get something new. I live in an apartment, so I can't construct a massive antenna, and I tend to spend too much money on impulse, so I thought I might buy cheaply. Any and all suggestions welcome. PS I just received the Signal Corps catalog and wondered if any of these radios might be a good buy for general SW reception and DXing.

The output from the "tape-recorder" jack is at line level. Make sure that you are using a line-level input on your tape recorder. If your recorder has only a mic-level input you will need to insert an attenuator in-line. Plug/lead sets with a built-in attenuator for just such a purpose are avilable from most electronics stores.

It would seem center-conductor static charge buildup would not be "drained to ground" with this set-up... could be disasterous for sensitive front-ends like my Sony 2010. I have a "gas discharge chamber" gadget supplied with the "Eavesdropper" trapped longwire which supposedly grounds out both shield and center-wire. My antenna hasn't been in battle with a thunderstorm yet, but I feel more comfortable with both sides grounded :) Is that false comfort? Would the direct grounding of the coax-shield suffice -- at little or no cost?

(I don't have either of these radios, so I am unable to test it out myself) What will you get out of it? Well, besides the satisfaction of helping debug some shareware Macintosh software, you'll get a free registered copy of the final version, and the ability to provide input to the design, which means the software will have the features you're interested in. I will also be looking for Beta Testers for Lowe, Drake, Japan Radio, and AOR radios in the future, as soon as I obtain the protocol information and modify the software to support those rigs. If anyone has copies of the protocols for these radios, I'd appreciate getting a copy, or finding out where I can get the information (is it online?)

He mentioned that I could get the same thing a lot simpler through shortwave radio. This interests me, because I would also be interested in other world broadcasts, etc..

I have already looked at the information on the web, and it would seem one of the portable recievers would fit the kind of usage I would need.

I listen to the program whenever possible and also have friends that listen in. I read magazines like "Monitoring Times" and some comments from people who complain about the programs like this carried on WWCR and a few other stations. It's unfortunate that some of these people have closed minds. They should take time out and listen especially Tom Valentine's Radio Free America. Even thou the program may not be 100% accurate about the comspiracies that are going on behind our backs about a buildup of a new global one world government which in reality is growing right in front of us. Anybody who has doubts...check into it...have an open mind. Think about the rights an individual used to have many years ago. Today, the government can tresspass onto your property and knock down YOUR trees without asking for your permission. Such is actually the case that happens in our neighborhood. The city government here sees a tree they don't like where it's growing on your property, etc... True this is the City government..but they are influenced by the state and federal government. As another suggestion to the person who dislikes RFA and other related programs on WWCR...I suggest they read there US Constitution and history books. Sending troops to Bosnia under a foreign military commander, etc is totally against our US Constitution. If anybody notes that in 1995 we've seen several people getting laid off from jobs because of either factories closing down or moving to a foreign country, etc... is due to NAFTA and even were I work in a Telecommunications company were feeling the effects. Our work load is slowing down. Yes folks were seeing great number of people in America losing there jobs...it's all behind the plans of a Global One World Government headed by the Rockofellor group who runs the United Nations.

As clo se as we are geographically, there's a real dearth of Canadian news in the U.S. -- the medi a here didn't , for example, catch on the Quebec referendum story until about two or three days be fore the election--and for those of who are interested in Canada, RCI is a major, if no t the major, outlet we have access to. (I'm lucky in that I live close enough to Vancouver to pick u p CBC on AM reliably, plus through some freak of nature the cable TV franchise here carries CBC TV o ut of Vancouver.) Radio Canada International has been one of the most trustworthy, reliable, and sane voices on shortwave for years. It would be stupid and shorsighted of the Canadian gover nment to close it down, given the relatively piddling amount of money it costs to operate it. As for shortwave's relevancy, it still is the way to get your message out to t he world, especially the third world. Until satellite reception becomes cheap, with small, easy-to-use and inexpensive receivers, it will be a supplement to shortwave, not a replacement. Here's hoping that the Canadian government does the right thing regarding RCI.

I traded a am/fm/casstte deck for it about 10years ago. The sw is fairly good, FMbcb sucks(poor sensisitvity, and real prone to intermod). The worst problem with mobile sw is engine/gauge/tire you name it noise. I currently have a 1985 Toyota Celica. This car is the worst noise generator that I have ever owned. The standard tricks, bonding engine/ hood/exhaust, and bypassing all the leads through the fire wall(getting harder to do becuase there are just to many wires, I tried split cores, but nothing really helped. (split cores are ferrite shells that you put over a wire(s) and tape the halfs togather, really better for vhf/uhf freqs). When I am parked with the engine and fan off, and if you don't park under a power line, reception of sw bcb is enjoyable. All the power houses, BBC/RCI(while it lasts)/etc are easy listening. Of course my Panasonic RF2200 does a much better job, from the same lacation with, the built in whip. Of course lf beacons are interesting. I would save my money and buy the best portable I could afford.

BUT, my Sony 2010 was very much improved when connected to an "Eavesdropper" longwire vs the active antenna... less qrm, more sensitivety, etc. I guess the advantages of a tuned longwire depend somewhat on the receiver's front end and bells & whistles, in addition to directivity of the antenna (nulling noise off the ends of the wire). Incidently, I didn't notice any advantage from an antenna matcher/tuner on my 2010 (I did with the other receivers). My biggest gain came from raising the Eavesdropper wire antenna about two more feet (now about 20 ft above ground). Since the wire antenna extends from the house to a tree, in the past I left slack so wind blowing the tree around wouldn't snap the wire antenna. After I rigged a spring on one end and increased the tension, the middle of the wire (at coax take-off) rose by more than 2 feet. And reception improved significantly. Bottom line -- listen to advice of others, then try it for yourself -- then let us know what worked best for your set-up.

So in the spirit of these remarks, I'll think I'll shut of my computer now and turn on the radio. 73s and good DX.

Sometimes, it would turn the radio on and sometimes not. It finally quit working altogether a few weeks later. No one in the local area would touch it, so I had to send it to Sony in Dallas for repair. I had to front them $50 before they would even open it to see what was wrong, but after that they were very quick with the repair. It cost me a total of $80 to have it repaired - they billed me for the rest and as soon as they received my final $30 payment, they Fed-Exed it to me and I got it back within 3 days. A bit on the expensive side, but I was very impressed with the service and my SW1 is still going strong.

The SW-77 is still the most advanced portable shortwave on the market now. It is much newer and has solved some of the problems that the Sony 2010 has had.

The students of the Trondheim University celebrates their Student Rag Week every two years in October. This autumn they run it again. This is the longest week in Norway, perhaps in the world, since it lasts for 23 days! During the "week" the students have lots of fun, arranging concerts, theatre plays, etc etc. And for decades they have had their own radio station in service. The Student Rag Week Station, "UKE-senderen" will broadcast on the following frequencies: 7215 kHz, 1485 kHz and locally on FM. SW and MW will be in the range of 300 Watts. SW will be fed into a two-element Yagi-antenna on the top of a 13-story building. The antenna is mounted on a rotor, and the direction will be changed. No details received as to when certain directions will be used. 1485 kHz is fed to an inverted V antenna, unfortunately not very high above ground. The student rag week starts on October 20th, and lasts until November 12th, but test-transmissions can be expected any day now. FM is already operational with tests. (I guess it will last a week or two until the first HF-tests appear!) All transmitters are expected to be on air 24 hours, with taped music and announcement during the hours, when regular programming is not broadcast. The HF-transmitters are both ex Coastal Station equipment, heavily rebuilt by the technical students!

(there is a typo in the flyer accompanying some WeatherOne radios which says 100-200 kw). Most analog sets don't have the sensitivity at those frequencies. They are designed to cover a wide range of frequencies (eg, FM, TV sound, whatever) and so there is a design trade-off. Weather band is just an afterthought, On the other hand, the cheap "weather radios" are super-regenerative circuits which are peaked in that narrow frequency band. --- /**** * Gary W.

What's inside them? Is it worth buying one? The box is a broadband amplifier designed to have tolerable noise performance when faced with the high, mostly capacitive impedance of the short wire. The idea is to improve the poor signal pickup of a short wire antenna. They work, but: 1. They are most commonly used with an indoor antenna. Most indoor environments are very noisy these days, and the amplifier boosts the junk as well as the signal, for no overall improvement in signal to noise ratio. 2. The amplification may cause strong local signals to overload the radio, or the active antenna itself may overload. Symptoms are reception of strong stations at incorrect frequencies (at all frequencies in extreme cases). These might actually be more useful with old tube gear than with the modern stuff for which they are intended: tube receivers tend to be less susceptable to overload. Also, inadequate gain/noise figure is more common with tubes and early transistors: with modern transistors gain is so cheap that there's rarely too little of it. Still, nothing beats a good passive outdoor antenna. I have a tiny Sony all band radio I take on trips (I'd rather take my 37-620, but it doesn't fit in my luggage :-). It came with an active antenna, but I don't use the active antenna anymore: an untuned dipole with 10' arms works as well or better. To see if amplification might help (on an AM radio: diagnosing FM sensitivity is harder), tune to a frequency between stations in the band you want to listen to. If the noise goes down when you disconnect your antenna, your reception is limited by noise pickup from the antenna and amplification won't help. If the noise doesn't go down (or the gain is inadequate to hear it at all), an active antenna might help. -- John Doty "You can't confuse me, that's my job." jpd@space.mit.edu From Unknown Tue Jan 09 18:48:02 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.crd.ge.com!rebecca!rpi!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!panix!not-for-mail From: schuster@panix.com (Michael Schuster) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: What is an active antenna?

One thing that seems to go on with the DX-392 (and, therefore, probably, with the 390 and the Sangean 818/818CS) is that if the BFO switch is in between on and off, the signal gets very weak and distorted.

Another hint: before changing batteries or attempting mods, set both lock switches to the "locked" position.

At that point the radio worked fine. I confused why letting it sit would have any effect. Seems to me you're just operating the uP at a voltage lower than its operating voltage, in which case simply increasing it (fresh batteries) would fix that immediately.

For example, for the past few nights I've been getting Radio France Internationale, in French, from 0200-0250, at 8890 kHz. I know that can't be right. On other occasions I've picked up Radio Netherlands in the upper 8000s as well. One night I picked up an American station around the 6700-6800 area (can't remember the station name offhand, but it was not a pirate). Is it my radio? Can anything be done about it? Thanks.

Thanks > David Dave, I own both the DX-375 and the 390. The 390's fine tuning does allow more spectrum advantage, and there is provision for an external antenna. I have the old Realistic models, not the newer Radio Shack (made in China models). Battery life is exceptional. Try to buy it mail order for less than at Radio Shack. The DX390 is a Sangean ATS818, I believe. Try Grove Electonics at 1-800-438-8155. The Sangean ATS818CS has the cassette recorder feature. I believe around $150 is a fair price for the DX390 / ATS818.

You might want to try to fix this yourself. The starting point is the stringing diagram, which probably was included in the Sams Photofact for the receiver. I'd try to get more information by posting to the various radio newsgroups and asking for help. Also, you might try to find a book on repairing old radios; sorry, I've never looked at one, so I have none to recommend. If you can't find the diagram, try stringing in a way that seems logical to you. As I remember it (this is a 30 or 40 year old memory, filtering through an even older mind), the trick was to wrap each pulley and shaft more than once, and to make the string tight enough that the spring just starts to be extended. If you're determined not to do it yourself, try finding an older radio repair technician (or a retired one). Good luck. -- Dan Grunberg Kensington, Maryland USA From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:24:04 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.kei.com!nntp.coast.net!zombie.ncsc.mil!paladin.american.edu!auvm!NBC.COM!chinkle Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Message-ID: <199601101718.MAA64550@atlanta.american.edu> Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 12:12:24 -0500 Reply-To: Chaz Hinkle Sender: "Short Wave Listener's List" From: Chaz Hinkle Subject: Re: Around the world balloon flight In-Reply-To: <199601101559.KAA12415@ns.ge.com> Lines: 16 > > >An attempt to fly a balloon around the world has just begun.

Howdy, I'm a bit puzzled by the previous answer posted to this thread. I owned a Panasonic RF B45 and it was/is a fine _little_ portable SW receiver. It does/did _not_ however provide SSB capabilities, or at least the model that I owned did not. That is why I traded up to a RF B65 which does provide SSB capabilities. It does seem to me that later versions of the 45 did include the ability to tune SSB, but the radio is not what I would think of a "large" by any means. One of the things that attracted me to the RF B45 and the 65 was the small size of the radio[s]. Someone straighten me out on this ... I'm cornfused! ;o) Cheers :o) cws From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:24:19 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.us.world.net!ns2.mainstreet.net!jaxnet.jaxnet.com!uunet!in2.uu.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.compuserve.com!news.production.compuserve.com!news From: Dan Biniewski <73733.1506@CompuServe.COM> Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: recording with sangean Date: 10 Jan 1996 00:35:08 GMT Organization: CompuServe, Inc.

Well, you know, I do also have nostalgia about those good old times when the sun was brighter and water much more wet, but, people, don't you see that SW is dying. And that's not Canadian (or whatever) government fault. Progress in the means of communication is the reason. And if there is possibility to listen to, say, Radio Indonesia on FM with studio quality, I'll prefer it to all the World Band Radio noice. And, mind, some of you mention "As It Happens" among RCI best features, though this one is produced by CBS. If want news from Canada so much, why not listen to domestic stations? Some of them are available on SW too.

AP 10 Jan 96 22:01 EST Rescuers Rush To Sinking Ship HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) -- Battling the clock, rescue units rushed Wednesday night to reach 24 sailors aboard a ore freighter sinking in the North Atlantic in 30-foot waves and high winds. There was no immediate indication if any of the sailors were injured or how fast the ship was sinking. Canadian Coast Guard and U.S. air units prepared Wednesday night to leave for the Greek-owned Amphion, foundering about 500 miles off Newfoundland. The ship issued its first distress call at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, but help isn't expected until 2:30 a.m Thursday at the earliest. "They're still taking in water, and they don't think they're going to salvage the (craft)," Canadian Coast Guard Capt. Perry Kurzynski said Wednesday night. The ship, a bulk carrier almost the length of two football fields, was damaged by the storm that blanketed the East Coast with snow earlier this week. The same storm has hindered rescuers. A Coast Guard ship expected to reach the Amphion early Thursday would try to rescue the crew using a large inflatable raft, said Dan Bedell, a guard spokesman in Halifax. He said rescuers would have only a short window of opportunity Thursday morning to get the crew to safety before another storm moved into the area Thursday afternoon. The U.S. military also was preparing to help. A U.S. Air National Guard unit in Westhampton Beach, N.Y., was to leave for the scene early Thursday. The 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard will send two helicopters and 25 people at about 5 a.m. Thursday. The aircraft will fly nine hours to St. John's, Newfoundland, to rest and refuel before making the five-hour flight to the scene. They are expected to arrive at 8 a.m. Friday. A C-130 from the Marine Corps Reserve in Newburgh, N.Y., will accompany the helicopters.

You can download or listen to Real Audio files and you can listen to their North American service on Internet Streamworks. (http://www.xingtech.com) The Real Audio files are in ftp://town.hall.org/radio/Mirrors/WRN/audio/ and .../WRN/archive/ (I believe those are the right paths but this is from memory.) If you download the Streamworks player, you will have to add a new server. It is town.hall.org and I think the port is 1558. (It is the same as all the others.) I think there is another form of Internet broadcasting which carries WRN called Mbone or something like that but I think you need something like a T-1 line and a Sun Sparc work station.

They cut the page count significantly a couple of months ago (with a short reference to "saving paper" in the intro). Their experiment of printing in the US didn't last long. It's a high quality publication, but subscription and single copy prices are way beyond the average magazine.

Why listen to international broadcasts? Well, for me, I like to hear what others have to say about what this country (US) is doing. I also like to listen to music from other countries as well. Why shortwave? Simple, it's still the easiest, most direct way to listen. The internet does have this capability, but sound files take quite a long time to download, and you have to have a pretty powerful machine with a fast modem to really take advantage of this technology. Satelite is still too expensive. So that leaves shortwave. Turn on the radio, push a couple of buttons, and your there. There is a small learning curve, but this can be aided by several different books and magazines. Plus, most portable shortwaves are much easier to carry around than a satilite dish or computer. As for the future, yeah, i'll still be listening as I think that stations will still be there and the radios will get better too. I also will say that there is a nostalgic aesthetic to it as well, as this medium has been around since the 30's at least. As for stations doing it wrong? Well, only the ones that won't broadcast more in English, but that is only *my* perspective.

Niessen ) wrote: >Hi, > Does anyone have experience with the Panasonic RF-B45? Hi Douglas, I do have some experience with the Panasonic RF-B45. It's my receiver beside the Grundig Satellit 700. In general, I am very satisfied with the Panasonic, although this set alone wouldn't be enough for me. In really most aspects, the Grundig Satellit is by far better, except size and perhaps longwave and mediumwave (at least in my case). But the Panasonic is much cheaper and good for travelling (in its nice small bag). Of course, everything depends on your intentions with the radio. If you want to get a lot of shortwave broadcasters and to listen to some hams (in SSB), the Panasonic may be a good choice. Moreover, its sound (especially FM) is very good (but no stereo with headphones); FM reception is also quite good. However, if you are more interested in DXing, a more expensive radio would be more suited, although the Panasonic isn't that bad, too. But with the Panasonic, you cannot choose between LSB and USB, there is no manual gain control (as with the Grundig Satellit 700; I wouldn't like to miss this manual gain control); there is no synchronous detector (but I think, this is not so necessary); frequencies are digitally displayed in steps of 5 kHz, not 1 kHz, but you have the possibility to fine-tune with a small wheel (not only in SSB, but also in AM). You cannot connect an external antenna (only attach wires to the telescopic antenna, which may improve a lot, indeed). What I also miss: there is no bandwidth switch and no light. On the other hand, all these points do not mean that I don't like the radio. Measured by its price and size, it offers a lot and for many people this may just be right. Battery life seems to be o.k., too. Reception quality also depends on many other factors, of course. Where I live (apart from problems with interference by TV sets), reception with this Panasonic is rather good, whereas a friend of mine lives in a house where with this radio (and similar ones) reception is very poor. Nevertheless, one can improve reception with some simple measures. As I already mentioned, attaching a wire to the telescopic antenna (with a alligator clip, is it called so in English??) may improve a big deal, at least in my case, signal strength increases considerably. Where I live (in Germany), there is no problem in getting Radio Australia or Beijing with this Panasonic, and it is also possible to get U.S. radio amateurs. Needless to say that I also hear many german and european radio amateurs (on 20, 40 or 75 meters) (although often my Panasonic is silent and my Grundig gets a ham in quite a good quality...) So it's difficult to give a final evaluation; you may also compare this Panasonic with receivers like Grundig Yachtboy 400 (which has some additional features) or Sony ICF-SW 7600 G (with its synchr. detection), or perhaps with the more expensive Panasonic RF-B65. I hope, you come to a good decision Best 73 Manfred From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:25:03 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!uwm.edu!lll-winken.llnl.gov!enews.sgi.com!decwrl!pacbell.com!gw2.att.com!nntphub.cb.att.com!ssbunews.ih.att.com!not-for-mail From: parnass@radioman.ih.att.com (Bob Parnass, AJ9S) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner,alt.radio.scanner,rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Trick the Icom R71A below 100 kHz Date: 11 Jan 1996 19:43:30 GMT Organization: Bell Laboratories, Naperville, IL Lines: 55 Message-ID: <4d3p92$iem@ssbunews.ih.att.com> Reply-To: parnass@att.com NNTP-Posting-Host: radioman.ih.att.com Xref: news.epix.net rec.radio.scanner:43587 alt.radio.scanner:26436 rec.radio.shortwave:68714 [Notes: This is a reprint of an article published in the April 1985 issue of Monitoring Times.

The following steps will confuse the microprocessor-based controller sufficiently to permit reception down to 0.0 kHz: 1. If all 32 memory channels contain frequencies, use the FUNC and CLEAR buttons to clear a memory channel. 2. Place VFO/M switch into the M (Memory) position. 3. Using all the manual dexterity you can muster, rock the MAIN TUNING knob back and forth, while simultaneously rocking the MEMORY-CH rotary control to switch back and forth between a memory channel with a frequency in it and a clear memory channel. Continue rocking both the controls until a frequency of 0.000.0 appears on the digital display. 4. Depress the WRITE button. This stores the 0.000 MHz frequency in a memory channel. You can now rotate the MAIN TUNING knob clockwise to tune up from 0.000 MHz to the frequency you want. Be careful: if you rotate the MAIN TUNING knob counterclockwise, the radio will immediately revert to 29.999 MHz. To tune below 100 kHz in the future, just recall the 0.000 MHz frequency from the memory channel and use the tuning knob to tune upward. That way, you don't have to use two hands every time you tune to a VLF frequency. I used a Wavetek 180 sweep/function generator to verify that the R71A is indeed receptive to signals below 100 kHz. -- ============================================================================== Copyright 1996, Bob Parnass, AJ9S AMPS Wireless Development Laboratory parnass@att.com - (708)979-5414 Bell Laboratories From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:25:05 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!cs.utexas.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!usc!newshub.cts.com!news1.crl.com!nntp.crl.com!crl7.crl.com!not-for-mail From: pcone@crl.com (Paul Cone) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: BBC MegaMix Read My Letter Date: 9 Jan 1996 23:43:49 -0800 Organization: CRL Dialup Internet Access (415) 705-6060 [Login: guest] Lines: 11 Message-ID: <4cvqnl$3oc@crl7.crl.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: crl7.crl.com Tonight on 5.975 MHz, at 06:55 UTC, the BBC radio program "MegaMix" read my letter on the air.

The FAQ already includes a statement to the effect that arguements are strongly discouraged, which is about as strongly as you can say anything about an unmoderated newsgroup. I'm not inclined to add anything about political posts specifically, or any negative admonishments in general, because I don't think it's appropriate for the FAQ to participate in the political discussions. And, judging by the number of people who participate in the discussions, I'm not sure they're not welcome here. I don't like them, but then, I don't read them any more. Thanks to the judicious use of KILL files, I don't even see half of them any more. I recommend KILL files highly. They make the group much more readable. A side benefit of KILL files (or just honing your ability to ignore obnoxious posters) is that without attention, the offensive posters tend to disappear over time. I've got a couple of people in my KILL files who just don't seem to be present here any more. I've always resisted posting the FAQ more often mainly because of the gatewaying of the newsgroup to the SWL-L mailing list. I rethink the issue periodically, though. Given the ever-increasing volume of this newsgroup, I'm not sure any more that posting twice a month instead of monthly would provide a significant increase in input to SWL-L subscribers' mailboxes. As for reworking the FAQ into smaller portions, I'm not sure what that would accomplish. I've tried to keep it fairly short as is, and compared to what I see in other newsgroups, I think I've succeeded (anyone for a 12-part 20000-line FAQ? :-) But I'm willing to be convinced. I need to rework the FAQ anyway. I wrote it originally at a time when most newbie queries here came from grad students in the U.S. wanting to hear radio from home. I don't think that's an accurate profile of the archtypal newbie here any more. > I just think a more >thorough perusal of the faq would cut down on great deal >of the clutter.

After the DX-440 went foom, I looked around for another portable, and this time bought a Sangean ATS-803A--Sangean's designation for what Radio Shack re-labels as the DX-440. So, Cathy, yes, it is made by Sangean. I bought it from a catalog, and it was MUCH cheaper than what RS sold the DX-440 for.

That's true. I can't enumerate all frequencies of the number stations (because there are so many MW radio stations in N. Korea...all of them are 24 hours in service), they are listened to every night here in Tokyo. Mostly from 0000 for 30 - 40 minutes a female announcer reads enigmatic numbers in Korean. Her voice sounds gruesome, as though a robot which is installed a kind of sound machine with sampled female Korean voice, putting a curse on whole Japan islands from the depth of hell. It is said that North Korean agents entered in Japan in some illegal way have been handed a small radio and number table beforehand at the moment they left North Korea. The kind of clandestine numbers transmission aren't rare around Japan...not only connection with Korean peninsula but centering on Taiwan channel. (sorry for clumsy phrasing.

The advantage of the outdoor antenna over the same antenna enclosed in a wood frame house is that (it is presumed that) the outdoor antenna can be run so that it avoids the power lines that the indoor antenna would have around it. The qualitative result is less noise with the oudoor version of the same antenna, a higher signal to noise ratio, and better reception of weaker signals. -- Dan Grunberg Kensington, Maryland USA From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:50:26 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!buffnet2.buffnet.net!bga.com!realtime.net!news.mindspring.com!news2.net99.net!news.cais.net!xara.net!peer-news.britain.eu.net!EU.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!news3.digex.net!access2.digex.net!pennie From: Pennie Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: "BBC Worldwide" Magazine?

I've subscribed for almost a year and WILL NOT be renewing my subscription. The December (or Jan?) issue hazs an editorial about how they had had requests to make the magazine "more portable" and this together with rising costs had prompted them to reduce the size of the magazine. Its a huge reduction; now only 3-4 articles, a couple of features, the schedules and a couple of regulars. The Jan issue is 66 pages including 20 full page ads and many half page ones. I've had bigger advertising catalogs in the mail for free. The excuse of "more portable" would be laughable if I wsan't paying for it.

They cut the page count : significantly a couple of months ago (with a short reference to : "saving paper" in the intro). Their experiment of printing in the US : didn't last long. It's a high quality publication, but subscription : and single copy prices are way beyond the average magazine. Here's a couple clues for Auntie: 1. Bring back _London Calling_. It was simple, elegant, and did its job nicely with a minimum of fuss. 2. A *real* paper-saving measure: Get rid of that asinine breaking-the-signal-into-five-different-feeds scheme. Part of the joy of shortwave listening is the ability to hear several different frequencies, some of which aren't even aimed to your area but at times come in clearer than the signals which are. This gets annoying when you try a European or African frequency only to hear something different--if anything. I remember when LC was a two-color rag with mostly text and a few illustrations here and there, and BBCWS would send you these gigantic wall charts with the programming times and days for every month of the year. A frequency guide to all areas was also included. OF course, back then you could conceivably tune three radios to three different frequencies, hear the same program but each one had different levels of delay...one feed would fade out and the announcer would start talking while the other two feeds were still playing the program..then they too would fade and the announcer would be on all three frequencies, in sync.

Several things can minimize or eliminate this problem. First, if you have an external antenna attached to the radio, disconnect it and only use it when you're trying to hear weaker stations; this radio is susceptible to overloading, and will act as you described when it's getting stronger signals than it can handle. (Notice that the stations you mentioned are extremely strong stations or relays in the Americas that are sure to swamp a portable with more antenna than it needs.) Also, if you still get this, turn down your RF gain control a bit. This should help until you can get something that isn't so liable to have this problem.

If it's an image, then you'll prob ably find the stations actually transmitting 910 kHz above the image, since most SW radios use a 455 kHz IF (intermediate frequency). The DX-392 might be a single conversion design. Single conversion radios are more prone to images than double conversion. A couple of things to try include: 1) Use a preselector or tuner between the antenna and radio. 2) Reduce the RF gain if it's adjustable, shorten the antenna, or use an atten uator. I haven't used the SW-8, but it probably has very good image rejection.

There have been other postings about static discharge problems. As I recall, a way to protect yourself that was suggested (and I haven't tried it, so I don't know for sure) is to install four 1N914/4148 (Radio Shack 276-1122) diodes as follows: _____ \ / whip antenna -> \ / ____|_____ | | | | A V | | | | A V | | |________| | | __|__ receiver ground --> ___ _ Were: A is a diode "pointing up" V is a diode "pointing down" Here is a less elegant method that _may_ finesse the static problem for you: 1. Avoid static prone clothing like wool, synthetic fibers, etc, while handling your receiver. 2. Never handle your receiver, unless you are barefoot. The inelegant method has worked for me, when chips under test were being blown due to static discharges from misdirected fingertips. However, let me emphasize that I THINK THE DIODES might be A BETTER, MORE PERMANENT, AND MUCH MORE RELIABLE SOLUTION. Incidentally, IMHO there is no excuse for a design to allow a part of the receiver that will be handled by electrically-naive purchasers to be subject to damage by ordinary, household levels of static electricity. -- Dan Grunberg Kensington, Maryland USA From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:50:40 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!mhv.net!news.westnet.com!news.internetMCI.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!prodigy.com!usenet From: JSJZ67A@prodigy.com (Matt Camp) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: >>> DX-390 WARNING <<< Date: 11 Jan 1996 23:56:04 GMT Organization: Prodigy Services Company 1-800-PRODIGY Lines: 3 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4d482k$1tae@usenetw1.news.prodigy.com> References: <4d2qtb$fl5@ixnews7.ix.netcom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: inugap2.news.prodigy.com X-Newsreader: Version 1.2 Yeah, WARNING, If you are considering getting a SW radio in this price range, get the Grundig YB 400.

Unfortunately, in this case the opamp in the stage closest to the antenna is usually fried by the static. (Same thing happened to me.) The Radio Shack technician (a good one, very rare) told me they would replace the opamp with a higher grade opamp for no charge. They did so and it has worked great for over two years now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Byron L.

That _may_ be alright, but read on. Hi there Minhhuy, Generally, I prefer to buy adapters that have only one output voltage, to minimize the possibility of applying too large a voltage and damaging the radio. However, _if_ the ICF-7700 requires an external 12 VDC source (I'm not familiar with the 7700, and I _don't_ know), the adapter you have in mind _could_ be suitable, because you are not likely to damage the receiver accidentally, by supplying it too little voltage. WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING any AC TO DC ADAPTOR 1. PRIMARY POWER SOURCE. What are the voltage, frequency, and the configuration of the plug of the power being supplied as _input_ to the adaptor. 2. RECEIVER'S RATED EXTERNAL DC VOLTAGE (nominal and maximum), AND CURRENT. The nominal voltage probably is an _exact_ multiple of 1.5 volts. The maximum allowable voltage is somewhat greater than the nominal voltage. The current usually is expressed as a number of milliamperes (ma). IMHO, the no-load voltage of the adaptor should not exceed the maximum allowable voltage. The information you need _should_ be given in your receiver's instruction manual (look under external power source, or under specifications). Not all manufacturers give the information, even though they should. 3. RECEIVER'S DC INPUT CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION. What type of connector does your receiver have, which is the positive "pin" and which "pin" is the negative pin. Most receiver's use coaxial DC power connectors (reference page 139 of the Radio Shack 1996 Catalog), but others are possible. Sometimes the connector is specified in your receiver's instruction manual. If not, you can usually determine whether an adaptor's DC connector will mate with the receiver's DC connector, by trying _gently_ to insert one into the other, WITH INPUT AC POWER DISCONNECTED FROM THE ADAPTOR. The next thing you must determine is which pin is which. This may appear in your receiver's instruction book. Sometimes the information is molded int the receiver's case (or possibly printed on the case) near the power connector. Coaxial connectors are represented by a dot, shown _here_ as "@" , inside a C-like shape (forward or backward) shown here as a ")" . The two possibilities are: + -----@)----- - indicates that the inner part of the connector is the positive connection. - -----@)----- + indicates that the inner part of the connector is the negative connection. 4. RECEIVER'S HUM LEVEL. At home, power the receiver with the adaptor and listen to the receiver in a _quiet_ house. Use earphones, if you _ever_ intend to use earphones. IMHO, _if_ you hear a hum level that _you_ consider to be excessive you ought to return the adaptor and get a refund. If I can answer anything else, feel free to E-mail me. I'll do my best to confuse you completely (;-). -- Dan Grunberg Kensington, Maryland USA From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:50:45 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!braintree!news.concourse.com!ragnarok.oar.net!malgudi.oar.net!multiverse!library.erc.clarkson.edu!rpi!uwm.edu!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!paladin.american.edu!auvm!TCF.COM!kwyatt Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Message-ID: <199601111444.JAA114888@atlanta.american.edu> Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 22:00:35 -0800 Reply-To: Keith Wyatt Sender: "Short Wave Listener's List" From: Keith Wyatt Subject: [WUN] Brindisi Freq?

Modern shortwave receivers are very sensitive. Often modern receivers have untuned front-ends that are easily overloaded, both by strong signals on or near the frequency of interest and by strong signals on frequencies well away from the frequency of interest. Often modern receivers are intolerant of nearby discharges of static electricity, not only outdoors from atmospheric electricity, but sometimes also from the discharge of normal household static electricity from your finger tip to your whip antenna or your external antenna connector. [Several postings to rec.radio.shortwave deal with which receivers are particularly vulnerable, and how to protect them.] Depending on what receiver you have and on what you want to listen to, a short indoor whip antenna (perhaps the one built onto your receiver) or a short attic-mounted antenna can be sufficient. You might want to try the whip, and/or a short indoor wire. However, outdoor antennas are more vulnerable to atmospheric static electricity, which may damage your receiver. If reception is not as good as you'd like it to be, you might want to try to improve the reception by adding a good ground. Try a wire run directly from your receiver to 4 to 6 feet of rod driven into the earth. On the other hand, you might want to use an outdoor antenna regardless of how long or how short the antenna is. Getting the antenna out of the house and away from the power lines should result in less received noise and better reception. However, outdoor antennas are more vulnerable to atmospheric static electricity, which may damage your receiver. If you opt for an outdoor antenna, take steps to guard against the static discharges. Disconnect the antenna from your receiver and connect the antenna to ground, when the receiver is not in use. Don't use the receiver during stormy weather. Check previous posting to rec.radio.shortwave for other protection that may be required. Note well: A TRADITIONAL SPARK-GAP LIGHTENING ARRESTOR WILL NOT PROTECT A MODERN solid-state RECEIVER. Tradition says that, all other things being equal, you should get as much wire up as you can, as high as you can. But all things are not always equal. Depending on the design of your receiver, it is quite possible that too long a wire will result in more signal reaching your receiver's front-end, than the front-end can handle comfortably. This may result in an apparent loss of sensitivity and/or in "images" of signals appearing as you tune through frequencies where the signals are not. It may be necessary to add an attenuator, a filter, or a preselector between your antenna and your receiver, to get rid of some of the signal. -- Dan Grunberg Kensington, Maryland USA From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:50:53 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.neca.com!chi-news.cic.net!io.org!winternet.com!news.minn.net!skypoint.com!news.cyberstore.ca!van-bc!news.mindlink.net!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in1.uu.net!newshost.ccsi.com!usenet From: l.j.smith@infinity.ccsi.com (L.J.

I tried to help and installed a $10 "long wire" from Radio Shack. Unfortunately there was a very little improvement. Considering the fact that the back yard there is rather small one, what would be the best antenna for the area my father lives in? Thanks, Mike Grossman, E. Bridgewater, Mass.

X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B.5] Hi there, My DX-440 seems to work great (lots of sensitivity) on the normal AM/FM bands, but the reception of anything above about 5 MHz on the other bands seems about nil. Is this just a bad time of year to receive on the SW bands or is something perhaps broken? I seem to remember hearing that this model had an occasional probelm with the input FET - would this be the symptom? This is all with the built-in rod antenna - I have yet to hook up to an external antenna. It just seems like it used to work a lot better in the past. Does Radio Shack sell a service manual for this? Any ideas? Thanks for any and all responses.

As promised in a former article, here is the info regarding great circle computational programs on the 'Net: Location: Navigation Archive Directory http://www.ronin.com/navigation/archives.html I found a couple of good programs there. One, called "Bearing" has a table full of callsign prefixes (ham) and latlon for many cities worldwide. It does calculate bearing, but seems to not enjoy crossing the date line and gives strange results there. However, it seems OK if you are not crossing the line, and its database of coordinates is a great reference. My favorite is ANSER's "Way2go", in which you type in coordinates, either decimal form or DMS and you can compute the bearing and distance. Or if you know the bearing and distance and the origin, you can get the target coordinates. Anyway, it works the best and gives good results, even over the date line. I generally pull up Bearing and get my coordinates from them and use Way2go for the computation. Both files are shareware and are $7 and $15 respectively. Out here in the Pacific, such programs are well worth it for me, as I do not have a Great Circle Map. If anyone finds these useful, I'd be interested to know. Happy DX....

I assume you want an HF (shortwave) antenna. An outside one, IF you can do it is the way to go. An inside antenna is handicapped by the structure and the restraint you have on length. It also depends on the receiver you are using. For example, I use a Kenwood R-5000. I lived for a while in a place that did not permit outdoor antennas. The receiver did find given the circumstances. However, once I put up an "invisible" long wire, reception improved considerably. In short, if you can do it, go with the outdoor antenna. It doesn't have to be fancy either. Good luck.

White records: >>anyway. Might check it out. The stuff will put a dent in the pocket >>book, so dont expect it to be inexpensive. 73. B Before running out and spending that kind of money, you might experiment. Check out your basement supply of spray paints, particularly those of copper or silver color. Spray some on some non-conductor/insulating material (wood, cardboard, plastic). Let dry and then place your ohm meter across it. If the reading is down at a few ohms or lower, my guess is that it should provide a decent shielding. These paints use to contain metalic conductors. Three notes of caution : 1.. I've never actually tried this on a monitor. 2. You might experiment on an old piece of equip. that generates RFI. 3. when slipping your monitor back into its cabinet, be sure that no extraneious connections can come in contact with the monitor, or you're sure to create a short.

A few months ago, it bega n to display "33.284" when the MHZ band switch was switched above 21 mHz. Along wi th this frequency display lockup, the receiver becomes inoperative. Twiddling the tun ing knob (VFO), the receiver "comes back to life" and is like normal. Now, this occurrs when switched above 7 MHz, and the receiver does NOT come ba ck to life anymore. So, I can now only listen to this rig below 8 MHz (luckily, I h ave several other SW rcvrs...) Have any other Kenwood R1000 owners experienced this problem, and if so, have any of you either found a fix for this or can point me to someone who can repair this problem. I think it has something to do with the VFO--perhaps the connectors have over the years have built up deposits and are not conducting the VFO signal to the freq. synthisizer section. I have the detailed service manual for this rig and'll try to look into the problem, but if any of you Knwd R-100 owners have advice, please e-mail me to: spmcgrvy@ix.netcom.com No need to post it to RRS unless you want others to see your "fix" advice.

A larger loop > requires fewer turns.) Yes, this design is excellent and uses inductive coupling to the set's internal ferrite rod. Thus I imagine it will not work with those comm. receivers with no internal antenna, such as the Drake R8; yet I use a 12" homemade loop and inductively couple it to an AOR Active ferrite loop antenna and it works well. The flatter you get the loop (narrow turns, larger circumference, like a pancake) the better it will be for direction finding, which is very useful in determining where stations are. This loop is the same design of the Select-a-Tenna, which runs for about $70 or so. The active Kiwa (a future purchase of mine) is $350 + shipping. Kiwa is on the net and has a nice description of the loop and other products, and pictures. Now my question, does anyone know a good place to order broadcast capacitors -- that cover up to 1700 kHz? I don't think there is any good store in Hawai'i that actually has them. I used to get mine from Electronics Plus in Beltsville, MD when I used to live in the Washington "snow haven" area. Also, as far as DFing goes, I have been looking for a great-circle map centered on Honolulu; if anyone has one that they don't need anymore, please let me know at newlife@pixi.com. Also, I found a couple of great circle computation programs on the net which are good use in DF computation -- next post I will give the site when I find out what it is, that is if there is an interest. I forgot the site but will look for it again. Patrick Mason National Radio Club member Mililani, Hawai'i newlife@pixi.com TP DX nightly...

Your small SW radio, by virtue of it's small size, likely has a very inefficient antenna (electrically small in wavelengths). If you can run a wire off of it for an antenna, your performance will improve. The Grundig will be a better bet if you are serious. Also, if you don't mind spending about $650-700, the Drake SW8 is a fine receiver and works well as a tabletop and portable, and has a good built-in antenna, as well as inputs for an external antenna. I have the R8, but wouldn't mind having an SW8 for a second radio, as it has FM broadcast band and VHF Air as well. I got the chance to play with an SW8 and really loved it.

AP 10 Jan 96 22:01 EST Rescuers Rush To Sinking Ship HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) -- Battling the clock, rescue units rushed Wednesday night to reach 24 sailors aboard a ore freighter sinking in the North Atlantic in 30-foot waves and high winds. There was no immediate indication if any of the sailors were injured or how fast the ship was sinking. Canadian Coast Guard and U.S. air units prepared Wednesday night to leave for the Greek-owned Amphion, foundering about 500 miles off Newfoundland. The ship issued its first distress call at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, but help isn't expected until 2:30 a.m Thursday at the earliest. "They're still taking in water, and they don't think they're going to salvage the (craft)," Canadian Coast Guard Capt. Perry Kurzynski said Wednesday night. The ship, a bulk carrier almost the length of two football fields, was damaged by the storm that blanketed the East Coast with snow earlier this week. The same storm has hindered rescuers. A Coast Guard ship expected to reach the Amphion early Thursday would try to rescue the crew using a large inflatable raft, said Dan Bedell, a guard spokesman in Halifax. He said rescuers would have only a short window of opportunity Thursday morning to get the crew to safety before another storm moved into the area Thursday afternoon. The U.S. military also was preparing to help. A U.S. Air National Guard unit in Westhampton Beach, N.Y., was to leave for the scene early Thursday. The 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard will send two helicopters and 25 people at about 5 a.m. Thursday. The aircraft will fly nine hours to St. John's, Newfoundland, to rest and refuel before making the five-hour flight to the scene. They are expected to arrive at 8 a.m. Friday. A C-130 from the Marine Corps Reserve in Newburgh, N.Y., will accompany the helicopters.

I've noticed lately that the bandswitch doesn't work very well. When I switch it to a different band I have to wiggle the switch a little to get it to work properly. I opened the receiver and there is a LONG slider type switch inside. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? It looks like the switch could possibly be disassembled for cleaning of the contacts but it would be a tough job. Spraying a little contact (tuner) cleaner seems to help a little but its difficult to tell if the cleaner is even getting to all the contacts.

To clean it you will need contact cleaner or TV Tuner Cleaner or some similar spray electrical contact cleaner, preferably the kind with a lubricant (made for switches, not something like WD40). I have found that you can't get the spray in from the front of the receiver, because the shaft actually actuates a long slider switch mounted on the back of a circuit board (at least in my radio). The only way to clean it was to take the back off, and remove anything else that blocks clear access to the switch. You then can spray the cleaner in directly and work the switch back and forth vigorously several times. A couple of cleanings like this should fix the problem for a while (months to years depending on the state of the radio and how dirty your environment is). Quite frankly, the quality of this generation of radios is only so-so, though with a little care they can still be quite satisfactory for casual listening. -- B. Z.

I'm wondering if anyone want$ one badly enough for me to consider $elling it? :-) Also possibly available: Pomtrex portable GE Super Radio II Silent Play Sony 2001 Uniden 2021 Why would I consider getting rid of all these neat-o collectables? My brother gave me an R-390a for Christmas - best brother in the world!!! - and with six kids, I need the extra cash to get it tweaked to perfection. Imagine my surprise when a big 85 pound package arrived from Fair Radio. I assumed it was a collection of junk for my son to tear apart and learn on - as my brother had told me that what he got my son was not a toy (and his wife wondered why he would even consider such an item for a 12 year old), but he wouldn't tell me what and I assumed this was it. As it turned out the 12 year old's gift was a snake light. Perfectly matched to a 12 year old I thought. (I got an Ungar Imperial soldering iron in tourqoise for my 12th birthday - actually I got some money and I wanted nothing more than that new type of soldering iron. I made a pilgrimage to Burnstein-Applebee in Kansas city on a regular basis to look at nippers and pliers and Imperial irons... (not to mention the new radios from Drake and National) This was the early '60s. Anyway, imagine my surprize when I opened the box. I only had to see the top edge of the front panel to recognize something I thought I would never own - it even still had the meters! (one of which still glows in the light! :-)) I was reduced to tears. I repeat - best brother in the world!

Ending 50 years of shortwave broadcasts would be a tragedy, and I am committed to making sure this doesn't happen. Check out my web site at: http://www.clark.net/pub/fervor/rci.htm This goes into much greater detail about the closure than I can in this message.

Please include your name and snail mail address in the correspondence. Radio Canada will fall silent on March 31st.

At home, I have a great picture of Louis Armstrong in the studio at Radio Liberation (I believe it was in New York in those early days), playing his heart out, and the RCA ribbon mike had a big "RADIO LIBERATION" sign on it! If memory serves, I recall reading that the name was changed for political reasons, because the old name led some people behind the Iron Curtain to believe that the U.S. would go to war to liberate those countries from the Communist sphere. Thus, to show that the U.S. supported freedom, but wasn't about to start another World War in Eastern Europe, the name was changed to "Radio Liberty."

In the catalog they show identical capacities for standard C and D NiCd's: 1.6 Ah. If you want more, go with the 4.3 Ah "HI-CAPACITY" version. Of course the better ones cost more. Radio Shack aren't the only folks who do this: Eveready's standard capacity NiCd D cell is only 1.2 Ah (again, same as their C), and costs more than twice as much as the standard RS cell. -- John Doty "You can't confuse me, that's my job." jpd@space.mit.edu From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:52:42 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.uoregon.edu!cs.uoregon.edu!usenet.ee.pdx.edu!news.reed.edu!nntp.teleport.com!ip-pdx04-46.teleport.com!user From: glennw@teleport.com (Glenn Westerfield) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: Radio Scrap NiCds Followup-To: rec.radio.shortwave Date: 15 Jan 1996 20:50:05 GMT Organization: Bebur Ranchers of America Lines: 31 Message-ID: References: <4ddj7p$i7n@mksrv1.dseg.ti.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip-pdx04-46.teleport.com In article <4ddj7p$i7n@mksrv1.dseg.ti.com>, SGCR@msg.ti.com (Steve Carter) wrote: > I thought I let you all know about my misfourtune buying NiCds for my > > radio from Radio Scrap.

As you noted, they just build up the case a bit. This practice did not begin with Radio Shack. I've seen them from all the major players. There are true d-cells available, look at the mA/Hr discharge rating to tell the difference. Also, the weight of a nicad is nearly proportional to it's capacity. That's handy when looking for the best battery pack for a laptop or the like. Please don't misunderstand this follow-up, I think Radio Shack sells some of the worst quality electronic products avaiable. Don't even ask me what I think of their radios. Yea-yea I know, many are built by name brands, but under contract. The name brand doesn't have name exposure and will cut whatever corners asked by RS. Go ahead and flame me if you must, we need the warmth in Oregon.

Being in the western world, there may be arguments about use of other technology, and the ineffectiveness of shortwave radio, but there are a lot of places in the world that don't have access to many of the communicatiosn modes we are accustomed to. These people may have a radio as their only link to the world. I also get a kick out of pulling a new station out of the ether. It is satisfying to hear a station from the other side of the world, or even from a few hundred miles away. Being a gadgeteer, there is a lot of fun in twiddling the dials and switches on the radio to get the perfect reception. I sincerely hope Canada can keep RCI alive.

I installed it in my machine but it looks like there is a conflict with the video capture board, since it no longer works correctly. I would first like to locate others who own a SoftWave board so we can compare notes and second ask what are the switch definitions for the onboard dip switches. I have used the board now for a couple of weeks and it is one of the finest SW receivers I have ever used. Recently I used it to analyze an interesting digital signal. The spectrum analyzer display clearly showed that it was two FSK signals and a CW signal running on the same carrier. The first FSK was separated by 170hz, the second by about 800hz and the cw signal easily split out by the dsp filters. I'm sure there are a lot of other neat things that can be done with this board, it is really too bad that ComFocus didn't make it, wish them luck getting refinanced. Or, that the new WinRadio from Rosetta Labs, Australia, works as well or better. I tried to find them on the net but no luck so far. I did check the Lowe WWW but it looks like it is just getting set up and at the moment there is nothing there. Anyway, if you have the switch settings for the SoftWave board I would really appreciate the contact.

Connecting to the roof may work well, but beware of possible interference that may be radiated from corroded nails or roofing tin. This probably won't be a problem unless you transmit into it or have strong local broadcasters, though. Some years ago, our radio club was doing a demonstration at a local country fair, and we decided to hook our 80 metre transmitter to the approx 100 ft by 200 ft galvanized metal roof via a transmatch. It worked fine - for us - but the nearby commercial radio broadcasting booth got completely wiped out whenever we powered up the roof, although a vertical nearby was fine. It was interesting for us to interfere with a broadcast station, considering we were usually the ones interfered with by broadcast stations, and while it may have been poetic justice, we didn't use it very long. Good signal strengths, though. -- rs@ham.island.net VE7HS (Robert Smits) From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:53:01 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!quiknet3.quiknet.com!calweb!pagesat.net!decwrl!sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk!peer-news.britain.eu.net!xara.net!news.cais.net!grouper.Exis.Net!news From: buch@exis.net (Joe Buch) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: SOMETHING DIFFERENT - LOGGINGS Date: Tue, 09 Jan 1996 01:44:10 GMT Organization: Exchange Information Systems Networks Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4csh4b$guk@grouper.Exis.Net> References: <199601030011.taa383218@atlanta.american.edu> <1611@abbot.win-uk.net> <4chbru$vee@usenetp1.news.prodigy.com> <4cp9a9$jhb@emerald.tufts.edu> Reply-To: buch@exis.net NNTP-Posting-Host: 89.exis.net X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent v0.55 wmerrill@emerald.tufts.edu (William Merrill) wrote: >Gloria Bond (YFCQ06A@prodigy.com) wrote: >: I like the idea of being rid of the immature postings and spams as >: well as the political statements that are best posted elsewhere.

Sony has since designed its own single-chip C-QUAM decoder, which it is using in sets for the Japanese market; I suspect they are not actually making the 42 any more, and might (if the 42s sell fast enough!) replace it with a new North American model using the new chip.

A longwire, whether by Grove or anybody else is cheapest/best if you can get it up at least 25 feet, and over 35 feet long. Forget the R/S active antenna unless you need one for traveling with a SW radio and want to use it in hotel rooms, etc. I use longwires (plus a KIWA for AM/BC), but for SW I have 3 McKay Dymek DA-100s. I feed them to different receivers and they are as sensitive as the 40-50 foot longwires I have, but a lot smaller and less visibly obtrusive (to my wife). They reach from longwave to 30 MHz andare the best all-around unit you can get.

Well, I use a1-a3 as scratch memory, so I can switch back and forth easily if I' following several frequencies at once. (a1-a2 are used for "defined" scanning anyway, so this makes sense.) For broadcasters I listen to frequently, I have several columns on the right. RCI is a8-d8; I might have a free column come April. I also have the BBC and DW. The rest are an assortment of frequently accessed single frequencies. For example, d2, the Air button, has the Toronto City Centre airport ATIS frequency for the latest wind, temp and barometer settings. A couple of CB channels are in there too, although I haven't listened much of late (I haven't been hard pressed for listening material of late.0 There are still one or two 150kHz buttons. -------------------------------------------------------- Bernie Rataj brat@interlog.com qth://toronto.on.ca Member: Ontario DX Association -------------------------------------------------------- From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:53:46 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!interactive.net!winternet.com!news.interlog.com!news.dra.com!news.starnet.net!wupost!spool.mu.edu!daily-planet.execpc.com!news.sol.net!uniserve!van-bc!news.rmii.com!newsjunkie.ans.net!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!newsrelay.netins.net!news.netins.net!usenet From: "Tom Aldrich @;<} SWAMI" Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: What's in your 2010's 32 memories?

Fifteen months ago my first DX-390 went dead on SW about three weeks after I got it. The RS folks shrugged their shoulders and replaced it without a problem. Then, about a year ago number two did the same. Again, replacement without a problem. They did not seem too terribly suprised, so this sort of thing may be 'common'. Number three is working just fine. I am running a 75 foot bare copper wire out to a tree. At times I get 60hz interferance from within the house that gets a little bothersome, but can dx all over otherwise.

The FCC rules prohibit them from SOLELY targeting a domestic audience. That leaves a big loophole if they can show a single non-domestic listener. Their advertising also targets US customers with 800 response lines et.al. This is also prohibited by the FCC rules. Lets see if we can figure out why the FCC is ignoring their own rules. I think that the original purpose of these rules was to protect the powerful networks owned by RCA, CBS, & ATT back in the early days of radio. If a broadcaster could cover the entire country with a single shortwave transmitter, there would not be much use for networks would there? Big business lobbied to get this legislation to protect their assets. The domestic radio networks are now a feeble vestige of their former influence and power. But the law is still on the books. I have not researched the issue but I was told somewhere that the FCC rule derives from similar language in the 1934 Communications Act. So the FCC cannot drop the regulation as outmoded. That would take an act of Congress. We all know how hard it is for Congress to act on anything these days. We surely cannot expect Congress to be concerned with such a trivial matter. The radio networks, or what is left of them, have bigger problems like direct broadcast satellites, cable radio, etc. They no longer consider domestic shortwave broadcasting to be a threat. Absent any pressure from the industry the regulation was designed to protect, the FCC has chosen to use the loophole in their own regulation to ignore the whole thing. Is that wrong? Probably, but it is expedient. With all the chaos in Washington, FCC included, the squeeky wheels are getting the grease. If the legitimate domestic broadcasters don't complain that WWCR and stations like them are robbing them of revenue, the FCC could care less. So there you have it. One prominent SWL suggested that I lay off WWCR as they were only trying to make a dollar and that is the good old American Way isn't it? Yeah, I guess so. On the other hand stations like WWCR make me hesitate to introduce young people to this hobby. Us old goats can see through the tripe they spew. A kid might not. I would no more want my kid listening to WWCR than fraternizing with the dope pusher down the street. But then the dope pusher is just trying to make a dollar isn't he.

It was simple, elegant, and did its job nicely with a minimum of fuss. 2. A *real* paper-saving measure: Get rid of that asinine breaking-the-signal-into-five-different-feeds scheme. Part of the joy of shortwave listening is the ability to hear several different frequencies, some of which aren't even aimed to your area but at times come in clearer than the signals which are. This gets annoying when you try a European or African frequency only to hear something different--if anything. I remember when LC was a two-color rag with mostly text and a few illustrations here and there, and BBCWS would send you these gigantic wall charts with the programming times and days for every month of the year. A frequency guide to all areas was also included. OF course, back then you could conceivably tune three radios to three different frequencies, hear the same program but each one had different levels of delay...one feed would fade out and the announcer would start talking while the other two feeds were still playing the program..then they too would fade and the announcer would be on all three frequencies, in sync.

That frequency 11705 kHz was now to high above the MUF for Europe, so we went down to 31 meters in high hope of reaching Europe with that low power by today standards -100 Kw -. Anyway it does reach North America ! The 9505 kHz SSB from 22 to 23 UTC is doing very well also along the East Coast of North America, but I dont think you can hear it in Texas... or can you !

Jay Marvin sends best regards to you from Chicago, I talk to him on the e-mail quite often. His e-mail address is at the igc.apc.org system. How is 6000 kHz doing after 0500 UTC there in Texas ?

It looks like modications were made to that mechanical part, perhaps a re-review should have been done for 1996 edition of Passport to Worldband Radio. Maybe electronic modifications were also made. Occasionally I find the radio picking up a combination of strong local AM stations and a shortwave station in the HF band. The frequency is a combination (add or subtract) of the AM mediumwave frequency and the shortwave broadcaster frequency. It is a rare happening and is probably a combination of propagation conditions on the AM band and some design problem in the radio. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete Costello - Shortwave/Radio Catalog http://itre.ncsu.edu/radio/ E-mail: pec@ios.com ^^^^ "In the future everyone will be famous for 15 Megabytes" - Rocktopolis Inc.

I installed both the wide and narrow filters in my 2010 some time ago. The wide filter was inexpensive, easy to install and IMHO absolutely necessary for the 2010. The narrow filter was expensive, difficult to install and has given very muddy and unsatisfactory performance. My advice is that you replace the wide filter and forget the narrow one. -- Jeff Greenberg Ford Research Laboratory Dearborn,MI jgreenberg@raptor.srl.ford.com Phone: (313) 323 8273 From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Jan 22 20:08:13 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!swrinde!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!info.ucla.edu!unixg.ubc.ca!freenet.vancouver.bc.ca!rnewell From: rnewell@opus.freenet.vancouver.bc.ca (colin newell) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: Buying SW radio...

The treaty with the Maltese authorities was valid for 20 years and expired at the end of 1995. It was not renewed. The station will be dismantled and replaced by a vacation resort but other destinations are also possible. Deutsche Welle is now searching for other transmitting facilities to take over these transmissions. This will be not that difficult because in Germany itself there is an overcapacity of available transmitters. The station in Julich will also not be used anymore by DW from next year onwards (source : ORF Kurzwellenpanorama) Nothing was mentioned about the transmissions of 'Voice of the Mediterranean'. But today (Sun Jan 21) I couldn't hear anything on 11925 kHz at 1400 UTC.

Consider that I wanted a few things(in order of preference): American made (if possible) excellent performance Computer interface VHF capabilities tabletop price If you need portable, then the SW8 might be a better choice for you. I didn't have that requirement myself, so I went for the R8. After all, I still have my DX-390 as my portable of choice. I looked at several other SW receivers, and for the price, the Drake R8 was a good deal. I looked at Kenwood and others, but by the time you add the filters, VHF FM IF, computer interface, etc you quickly go over the others in price with comparable features. This is my opinion, and only that. Check out the reviews in Passport and others to really cinch your decision. I did and I'm not sorry that I spent the time. sonyal@crosslink.net (Sonya Lyles) wrote: > Hello - > I wanted to upgrade my DX 390 for a long time but I'm a poor working >stiff living paycheck to paycheck who needs to get the best bang for >every buck so I want to be very sure.

I assume you want an HF (shortwave) antenna. An outside one, IF you can do it is the way to go. An inside antenna is handicapped by the structure and the restraint you have on length. It also depends on the receiver you are using. For example, I use a Kenwood R-5000. I lived for a while in a place that did not permit outdoor antennas. The receiver did find given the circumstances. However, once I put up an "invisible" long wire, reception improved considerably. In short, if you can do it, go with the outdoor antenna. It doesn't have to be fancy either. Good luck.

Va. Often wood frame houses have a metalized vapor barrier to keep the insulation dry. This barrier canshield the indoor antenna. The stucco houses in California and the South have chicken wire surrounding the outside. The stucco material is sprayed onto the chicken wire which then holds it while it hardens. The chicken wire can also act as a good shield. So having a wood frame house is no guarantee that you will get good reception. Try this test. Get a portable SW radio. Tune it to a weak station while inside the house. Now walk outside with the radio. Did the weak station improve? If not your house is not significantly attenuating SW signals and you do not have a lot of interference coupled from the power wiring in the house. If a big improvement occurs, you need to plan on using an outside antenna. ~*-.,_,.-*~'^'~*-.,_,.-*~'^'~*-.,_,.-*~' Joe Buch N2JB Editor, NASWA Journal Technical Topics buch@exis.net -*~'^'~*-.,_,.-*~'^'~*-.,_,.-*~'^'~*-.,_ From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Jan 22 20:08:48 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!cs.utexas.edu!utnut!torn!istar.net!news1.ottawa.istar.net!fonorola!news.ottawa.istar.net!news.magi.com!magi03p60.magi.com!user From: yuko@magi.com (Yuko Horiuchi) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: I'm Newbie, help!

First off its pretty tough as Australian station occupy all channels. Down the low frequency end of the band there are a few powerful NewZealand stations that may overpower the Australians. The time to listen is around Sunset before propagation is enabled from the west but signals are coming in from the east where New Zealand is. The other opertunity is before Australian stations start up in the morning listen out for New Zealand stations that are in an earlier timezone. This is getting tougher as most stations now operate 24hours a day in Australia.

I hooked it into my shortwave receiver. By carefully tuning on a RTTY signal, I could get the mark........space led's to pretty much stay on, without lights around the center coming on. Butthe 'lock' led never lit up. I didn't bother hooking up to the computer.... I built a Microsomething or other from Wisconsin years ago, using an 8748 or some such micro-controller. Which, for better or worse, reads RTTY and Morse. And which looks VERY similar to this Kantronics unit. But I really like the tuning bar thing in the Kantronics.

They are just high quality 750 mAH nicads which are are designed to tolerate rapid charging. They have a dimple on the top to tell the Millenium charger that they're a known quantity, and are ok to charge in rapid mode. The charger will slow-charge regular cells.

To clean it you will need contact cleaner or TV Tuner Cleaner or some similar spray electrical contact cleaner, preferably the kind with a lubricant (made for switches, not something like WD40). I have found that you can't get the spray in from the front of the receiver, because the shaft actually actuates a long slider switch mounted on the back of a circuit board (at least in my radio). The only way to clean it was to take the back off, and remove anything else that blocks clear access to the switch. You then can spray the cleaner in directly and work the switch back and forth vigorously several times. A couple of cleanings like this should fix the problem for a while (months to years depending on the state of the radio and how dirty your environment is). Quite frankly, the quality of this generation of radios is only so-so, though with a little care they can still be quite satisfactory for casual listening. -- B. Z.

As you noted, they just build up the case a bit. This practice did not begin with Radio Shack. I've seen them from all the major players. There are true d-cells available, look at the mA/Hr discharge rating to tell the difference. Also, the weight of a nicad is nearly proportional to it's capacity. That's handy when looking for the best battery pack for a laptop or the like. Please don't misunderstand this follow-up, I think Radio Shack sells some of the worst quality electronic products avaiable. Don't even ask me what I think of their radios. Yea-yea I know, many are built by name brands, but under contract. The name brand doesn't have name exposure and will cut whatever corners asked by RS. Go ahead and flame me if you must, we need the warmth in Oregon.

I went to RADIO SHACK to by a new one but they where out so I bought 20 feet of speaker wire. I have taped it to my cieling but was wonding does it need to be taunt or loose or looped like AM? Or is speaker wire not the right materal? I do not know what I shold or should not be recieving since I am in the mountains. Also it has a little meter that say tuning on it and it uslay stays at 1 but sometime it goes to 3 when you are on a station.

Fifteen months ago my first DX-390 went dead on SW about three weeks after I got it. The RS folks shrugged their shoulders and replaced it without a problem. Then, about a year ago number two did the same. Again, replacement without a problem. They did not seem too terribly suprised, so this sort of thing may be 'common'. Number three is working just fine. I am running a 75 foot bare copper wire out to a tree. At times I get 60hz interferance from within the house that gets a little bothersome, but can dx all over otherwise.

This was due in part to the thaw of the blizzard snows, which caused extreme flooding (and then icing) in many areas. As a result, my provider Lifestat has been off- line. Lifestat, and my page, are expected to return real "soon" once the connections have dried out . I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for those who may have tried to e-mail me or had problems downloading Smart R8 Control (as previously announced). For those who may be trying to contact me, my GEnie acount in the .sig. is still working. In any event, for when Lifestat returns, I have this additional product announcement, as follows:] ===================== SMART AUDIO CONTROL ANNOUNCEMENT ==================== ----- Some of the receivers on the market provide methods for remote operation by computer control. However, often times they include no possible way to control the audio volume and tone of sound coming out of them. Also, if anyone has ever used a TNC or other data demodulator, you'll know that one of the tiresome things to do is properly tune your receiver for accurate demodulation. For this, FineWare has developed Smart Audio Control, which will allow you to use the sound card on your computer to do all of this, and more. Smart Audio Control contains volume, line in, tone and mute controls; but also includes a fully functional and fairly calibrated audio oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. The registration fee for Smart Audio Control is US$25... yet another quality product at a low cost. You will be able to download a pre-release beta of Smart Audio Control on or after January 22nd (provided that AT&T repairs the busted and/or flooded T1 circuits in Virginia and Maryland by then). The file, called SAWIN10B.ZIP, will be available via the GEnie Radio & Electronics RT File Library, as well as under the "Coming Soon" section of the FineWare WWW Page: http://www.lifestat.net/~mfine/ (an FTP site is also being created) or by the shortcut: http://www.lifestat.net/~mfine/images/sawin10b.zip The file is only 133kb (sans docs), so there should be little or no downloading problems once Lifestat returns to the CyberWaves. 73, [ Mark J.

Clearly, you should consider both. I have used both for a number of years and find their operating characteristics so different, they complement each other nicely. The Active Probe tends to read signals coming in at all angles, and at least mine seems more susceptable to local (electric) noise than atmostpheric noise. Put the active antenna as far away from house wiring as possible, and as far away from QRM sources (such as home computers). If possible, get one which has the amplifiers in shielded cases, and use good quality shielded coax throughout the system. On the wire side, put up a dipole, long wire or inveted V as high as possible. On the lower frequencies, it will probably only be responside to high-angle signals, which will be useful for seeing out of the valley. Again, use shield cable to minimize noise pickup. (I find my active antenna (a Sony AN1) most useful on 9.4 - 15.5 Mhz. range, which the wire antenna (100' dipole with tuner) is clearly superior below 9.5 Mhz in terms of signal-noise ratio. Every case is different, but I believe it is true that antenna diversity helps - and I would recommend you put up both!! 73 -- John Fallows VE6MBA Calgary, Alberta Ernst & Young (403) 261-4448 fallowsj@cadvision.com From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 14:42:31 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!howland.reston.ans.net!news-e1a.megaweb.com!newstf01.news.aol.com!newsbf02.news.aol.com!not-for-mail From: ashtabula2@aol.com (Ashtabula2) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: ANTENNA QUESTION Date: 24 Jan 1996 08:08:19 -0500 Organization: America Online, Inc.

I sold my Sony 2010 to buy the 7600G. The Sangean 803 was (still is!) a good little portable, but not for CW/SSB or the "guys in the mud." It functions rather poorly with an external antenna but for listening to FM stereo (through the headphones) or on shortwave to BBC, VOA, DW, etc., it works quite well, though a bit broadbanded. It's successor, the 803A provides a narrower filter and works considerably better on CW, SSB and some of the "lesser than giants" shortwave stations. For those who insist on huge memory requirements, sorry, it has only 10 presets. It's my understanding the 803 and 803A are no longer in production, but I've seen them advertised numerous times in numerous places. I saw one (803A) in Amateur Electronic Supply in Orlando while I was down there around Christmas. My Sony 2010 was an impulse purchase last year - I got mine used at AES in Orlando for $275 US. It is a terrific radio, but you can't put it in your hip pocket! I sold it just before Christmas and bought the 7600G. Wow, what a radio. Of course, it isn't as versatile as the 2010, but it is incredibly portable, has sync detect, FM stereo thru the phones, line out for recording, external antenna input and does an incredible job on both CW and SSB. Admittedly, the CW receiving works better through my Radio Shack DSP filter (about all that thing's worth!). To help prevent overloading the radio I run my external and attic antennas through a grounded antenna tuner when I using it at home. On the road, I either use the built-in whip or the little reel antenna that came with it. Although it only has 10 memories on AM and 10 on FM, I have found it to be just what the doctor ordered. Got it for $200 US from Grove in North Carolina and now wouldn't trade it for the world. Played with a friend's Yacht Boy as a comparison. The Grundig has a better sound (more fidelity) but he can't separate the stations from interference like the sync detect can. BTW I am NOT afiliated with SONY, Sangean, Grundig, or GROVE. I work for a telecommunications firm as an economist. Is that weired or what?

I have owned a RatShack DX-390 for over two years. It was recommended to me by a HAM friend of mine. It is a Sangean manufactured unit and has great sensitivity, great selectivity, and many features found on other sets costing much more. I would buy another in a minute. I use an antenna tuner (my own construction) with a long line antenna and get excellent results. I also own a Drake R-8 and find the DX-390 a good travel radio, but I sometimes prefer using the DX-390 even at home. My only criticism of the DX-390 is that it goes through batteries like crazy. I generally use the AC adapter at home. Dave Krieps "Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think, and suspicious of men who try to."

Just a thought if you a re a stickler for precision, then your programme should really take into account that the earth is not a sphere but an oblate spheroid. Probably doesn't make much difference for VHF type distances but it still represents a few % error. There are other errors associated with the way Latitude is defined and also with the fact that the earth's surface isn't smooth. So in practice it is tough to get the error below 1% unless all factors are considered.

We are two students at Oslo College of Engineering that are trying to solve an obligatory project. We are to write a program that is suposed to calculate MUF and LUF from our transmiting point, to various (any) point on the globe. We will only considder 3 - 30 MHz band. Yes I know that there are zillions of things that affect this propagation, but we are mainly going consern ourselves with the Ionosphere, Sunspot numbers... etc. and not with such "details" as antenna gain-patern, and TX-power... etc. What we need are such tings as: Models for this calculations, such as CCIR, Minimuf... etc. and their mathematical models. We are unfortunately not able (time and brain considered..) to come up with tis formulas our selves. It would be VERY nice if someone had some of this formulas for MUF & LUF stashed away in their drawer, and could send them over to us at our E-mail address. (See below) Any working "HF-Propagation" softweare that we can inspect and compare results with. Again.... It would be VERY nice if we could in some way see / inspect the source-code to see how the h..#$!!!¤ll they did the calculations. This is an obligatory asignment for us, so PLEASE do help us! We need all the help we can get! We are planing on using Wisual-Basic 3.0 for the actual programing.

Recently I've noticed a sudden decline in the quality of MW reception. Formerly, I got WLW and WILL easily. Now I hardly pick them up at all. I use a DX-392. It still picks up SW fine. Does anyone have suggestions for improving WLW (Cincinnati, OH) or WILL (Urbana, IL)? I live and listen in Bloomington, IN, mid-way between the two. Would an active antenna help? A long wire antenna? My booth is next to an electrical line, so that limits things. Likewise, I doubt my employers will let me string up wires all over the place. Thanks.

Not really but the two tests below will find most bad tubes. It will not pick up weak tubes but even then a repair shop replaced tubes, perhaps 20 % of the tubes they replaced were actually bad (I know because the local TV repair shop's trash can was a favorite hangout on trash day and nearly all the tubes I scrounged tested good on a real tube tester!) 1. Use an ohmmeter to test for filament continuity. The nice thing about tubes (aside from their cheery glow) is that you can see inside - you can locate the filametn by tracing from the pins - it will be the whitish fine wire in the center of each of the sections. Or, it is almost always pins 3,4 on a 7 pin tube and 4,5 on a 9 pin tube. 2. Look for a silvery metal spot inside the tube. If you see this, the vacuum is intact. If it is milky white or red, the tube has lost its vacuum. These are all very common tube types. Even today, they sell for less than $10 new. Years ago they were around $1-2. --- sam From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 14:43:28 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.comm.net!imci3!imci4!imci5!newsfeed.internetmci.com!swrinde!howland.reston.ans.net!news-e1a.megaweb.com!newstf01.news.aol.com!newsbf02.news.aol.com!not-for-mail From: smaas@aol.com (SMaas) Newsgroups: sci.electronics.equipment,sci.electronics.components,sci.electronics.equipment,rec.radio.amateur.homebrew,rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: I found some old vacuum tubes ...

Tubes without boxes are probably used - some of them can be good still. A tube tester would tell something, but it is hard to find one nowadays.

Shortwave is only up to 30 MHz. Over that frequency, there are litterally hundreds of thousands of transmissions. A truly DC-to-Daylight reception system would have to cover from 30 KHz to 2 GHz, and none of the radios you list will do that. In reality, there are very few radios that will. Most people who want that type of coverage get both a good SWR, and a good scanner (to cover above 30 MHz). If you are really looking for a good SWR, the ones you list have their good points, and their not-so-good points. The portables simply can't match the table-top models for their ability to suck signals out of the air, though. Best thing to do is to first determine what *you* want; portability vs. table-top, cost vs. performance, etc. Then, determine which models fit your needs. Then decide from those models. Good luck.

I don't know if you can get it in Georgia what with WFAN in my home town of Astoria, N.Y.C. Most of their programming at night seems to be a satellite truckers network but they have Indian stuff around 1300 or 1400 GMT (probably too far after sunrise for you) and I think Sunday nights. One interesting note--they are the only station in Arizona which observes Daylight Savings--the Navajo reservation crosses state lines so the Navajos observe DST. On the other hand, the Hopis, who are surrounded by the Navajo reservation, go with the rest of the state and use Mountain Standard Time all year.

But when I got it home I found that one of the tubes inside hit the inside of the cabinet and shattered. The tube labelled "U.S.NAVY CRC 876". I about 1.5" wide, 8"long, and it screws into a socket like a bulb. It is not a valve but rather a single filament inside. I think it's for current limiting. Does anyone know if there is a solid state replacement that I could use? Or do I require to find a new one somewhere? Where would I possibly find one of these anyway??? Estimated vintage 1955-1970???

I am amazed that the show has continued and that no issue has been raised about its existence. It seems that gay people are the only group which can be made fun of publicly. It's wrong to make fun of fat people, ethnic groups and females, but when it comes to gay people, society has not yet drawn the line. It is about time that the line is drawn and that the gay community no longer tolerate such ridicule. Write and call Radio Alegria and tell them to cancel El Show de las Locas because it is offensive and insults the gay community. Call: (213) 461-9300 write: KKHJ 930 AM 5724 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90068 Radio Alegria 930 AM tiene un segmento que se llama el Show de las Locas. Este segmento llama al publico que hagan bromas de la comunidad homosexual, y la llamada con el mejor chiste gana un premio. El programa es muy ofensiva a la comunidad homosexual latina, y no deberia de estar al aire.

There is no American comparison to the Deputy PM that I can come up with. The Deputy PM is more powerful than the Vice-President, because the DPM is backed by the majority votes in the House of Commons, enforced by party discipline.

Jean Chretien after reading The Coalition (to Resotre Full RCI Funding)'s page via FAX. Hope I could express some foreigners' point of view... I'm a native Taiwanese, living in Taipei and only having been in Canada once (to take part in Expo-Science Pancanadienne '94 as a foreign participant). RCI is the only Canadian source of Canadian issues, which are quite remote to most non-Canadians. English SW broadcasting in Asia is, well, at least here, very scarce, and I'm sure that RCI expresses some viewpoints that are quite outstanding that neither VOA nor BBC could substitude. In addition its six-o'clock news wakes me up everyday... It's sad to learn that many SW broadcasters are facing budget-cut due to government policy changes. True, the cold war is over, and in lands like mine, cable TVs are popular enough so that every household could watch CNN without break. Yet in Asia, SW is a crucial source not only lanauge learners (VOA/BBC/RCI to people do English, as RF to those do French and DW to those do German) but also those who're eager looking for more information and opinions, especially those whose source of information is confined to government-controlled medias (thanks heaven, not in Taiwan any more). I remember in a radio-related program of BBC an interviewee expressed the opinion that cutting SW broadcaster's fund is a way to undermine a country's cultural cultivation and contribution to the world. IMHO it's especially true to Canada, a country whose name is mentioned and known only during the jitter of (every) Quebec referendum, and whose (national/cultural) identity is often mixed with its south-of-the-border Americans.

I also use an AN-1 and if you don't expect miracles it can work well. I primarily use it with my Sony 7600 when I'm traveling. The usable signal inside most hotel rooms -- even high-rise ones -- is negligable when you get more than a foot or two from the window. But, put the AN-1 on the window sill, roll out the cable and voila! reasonable recpetion in the middle of the room. Bottom line is if you can carry your radio to a place that has decent reception, but don't want to listen there, an indoor antenna can be a good signal 'pump' to get the usable signal to a more convenient location. If you can't find a good location by carrying your radio around, you probably need an outdoor antenna to really make any improvement. -- Jeff Greenberg Ford Research Laboratory Dearborn,MI jgreenberg@raptor.srl.ford.com Phone: (313) 323 8273 From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 14:44:40 1996 Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!mhv.net!news.westnet.com!stevens-tech.edu!newsserver.jvnc.net!newsserver2.jvnc.net!netnews.upenn.edu!dsinc!newsfeed.pitt.edu!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!news3.noc.netcom.net!zdc!zippo!usenet From: bhkraft@iti2.net (Brian Kraft) Subject: Re: Sony AN-1 Any Good?

Not ravenous DX-ing, but certainly some snooping for more exotic signals. I'm told the Satelit 700 sounds nice, but falls short in the sensitivity and selectivity departments. I'm also told that the venerable Sony ICF 2010 is as good as a medium-advanced portable as can be found. There are features of the 2010 I don't like, like the synchronous mode that does not switch off when the rig is tuned, and like the lack of slewing ability. But I could live with these minor inconveniences if (IF!) the electronics are superior. So? E-mail replies, please, unless your thoughts are so profound as to merit wide distribution.

Though I perhaps could have opened it up and adjusted it, I didn't want to void the warranty (plus, this radio was a gift to someone else). So I returned it to the store and got another one.

Anything you learn in a posting to rec.radio.shortwave, represent the opinion or best recollection of one person. That said ... IMHO ... I'd be careful about getting a vacuum tube radio. Tubes have become increasingly rare and, as a result, costly. Furthermore, older receivers may have other components that must be replaced, some of which may not be readily available. Lastly, many of the solid-state receivers take advantage of a whole new spectrum of components and techniques, that were simply unavailable to the designers of vacuum tube sets. A few advantages of reasonably priced modern receivers are that they are smaller and lighter, less power hungry, more sensitive, and easier to operate than the older tube receivers are/were. Direct digital frequency entry, phase-lock-loop frequency control, synchronous detection, and much more precise filtering are features of the solid-state "computers that think like radios", that the vacuum tube designers would have killed for. For the reasons given above, unless you have a particular interest in antiques radios, you might want to check out the reviews in "Passport to Worldband Radio" of many available and recently available (think available used) receivers. Also, Radio Netherlands has some reviews on their Website, which can be accessed through links at http://itre.ncsu.edu/radio/ . -- Dan Grunberg Kensington, Maryland USA From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 14:44:52 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.neca.com!chi-news.cic.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!uwm.edu!msunews!netnews.upenn.edu!news.voicenet.com!news From: Bob Barr Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: SWL Book Preferences Date: 22 Jan 1996 01:52:19 GMT Organization: Voicenet - Internet Access - (215)674-9290 Lines: 8 Message-ID: <4duqkj$2hs@news.voicenet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ivyland07.voicenet.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.22 (Windows; I; 16bit) I would like to hear from fellow SWL'ers on preferences for general SWL books, specifically the 1996 World Radio & TV Handbook vs. Passport to World Band Radio.

I find the PWBR to be more vital. When DXing, I have the latest Monitoring Times and the PWBR at my side. The WRTH is interesting and a backup. The WRTH is fun to browse, you always feel that somewhere in all that information is another interesting tidbit that you didn't notice before. But for ease of use the Blue Pages are great. When I'm still not sure what I've got, then I double check with the WRTH. For addresses I use the PWBR. But then 50% of the PWBR I ignore! Go figure. Charlie in western KY.

Good ones to start looking at are the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 (about $200-250) or the Grundig Yacht Boy 305 (about $150). I have the 400. Look into the reviews in the "Passport to World Band Radio 1996" at your local bookstore, it has tons of reviews and gigatons of excellent information for short wave listening. As for my opinion, I have the YB400 and like it (it has digital frequency input, single side band reception, alarm clock, dual time readouts, wide coverage) but I've been thinking I should have gotten a YB 305 instead, since I live on the West Coast and the 305 is supposed to be able to pull in weak signals better, though it has a few less features.

To my experience it is the best to stay as far away as possible from the cable line. Unplugging your own TV (and VCR, FM-radio) from the cable while listening to SW also often reduces interference. gk.

Just a Universal Postal Union thing. In other words, most national postal/mail organisations throughout the world. It is basically a printed coupon which you can, in theory, buy at any post office anywhere in the world, and then send to a recipient who can exchange it for a stamp to reply to the sender. The wording on the back of the IRC says: "This coupon is exchangeable in any country of the Universal Postal Union for one or more postage stamps representing the minimum postage for an unregistered letter sent by surface to a foreign country." In practice, most countries sell and accept, but local offices sometimes don't know what they are, leading to problems. Therefore they have become an unofficial currency to DXers, who use them for buying goods, as well as occasionally exchanging for stamps. In the UK, they cost 60p to buy (not sure about that though - latest Royal Mail international catalogue doesn't even list them!), but you will only get a 25p stamp in exchange. As far I know, the current 'black market' value (in the UK at least) is around the 40p - 50p area, a much better rate of return. It's a nice idea, and far safer than sending dollars through the post. But the cost of them is prohibitive to many. Shame really.

In many cases (esp. 3rd world countries) it's actually more beneficial to send a couple dollars of cold, hard US cash, since the receiver has to trek to a local PO to exchange the IRC, and some countries don't accept IRCs (besides, IRCs are kinda expensive - about $1.10 each). -- Lee Hauser lee@blarg.net From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 14:45:10 1996 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!portal.gmu.edu!hearst.acc.Virginia.EDU!freenet.vcu.edu!cabell.vcu.edu!not-for-mail From: jwill@cabell.vcu.edu (J.

When it works, it works great. But that one annoying design flaw really burns me. I am on my second DX-390. And this one came back from the repair shop about three days ago. You can't tell me that Radio Shack doesn't know about the design flaw from the many articles written in this newsgroup alone over the past two weeks. The folks at the local Radio Shack looked at me rather sheepishly when I mentioned this newsgroup and the posts regarding the DX-390. I would have to ask the gentleman who posted a few days ago to re-post an article using diodes as a means of protecting the radio from the zapping of static electricity.

The cheapest price I saw was at Best Products (not Best Buy) Stores. I stuck a thin strip of writable tape over the AM scale, and marked a lot of the clear channels more accurately.

Granted, but the cheap Chinese sets that sell for under US$30 *are* affordable (and there are often similarly priced local alternatives in places like Bangladesh) by the 'average joe' and even when they aren't it is my impression (and I have no first hand knowledge to prove or dis- prove this) that many villages and 'social clubs' exist that pool individuals money together and purchase a SW set for all to use that no one of them could afford otherwise. -- Call it 'radiopooling' and it even sounds kind of envirnomentally friendly! :) True, the same could be done with satellites, and probably will be at some point, but it isn't there yet, so to go with the 'latest technology' before the audience is there while at the same time abandoning the older technology where the audience still is implies that 1) you aren't really interested in reaching an audience and/or 2) you care more about appearing to be 'on top of things' than you do about effective communication. If you LIKE an information superhighway full of things like Roseanne reruns, instead of things like the BBC World Service programming, you're right, 'ABC' has the right idea. If your tastes run somewhat more esoteric though, you better hope the SWBCers stick around where the audience actually is (and at the same time develop connections that will allow them to migrate when the audience does move) or I've a feeling they'll just fold.

There seem to be two kinds of people in this world; the people who design the systems, and the people who program them, and Dick and the people around him were more of the design variety. He really didn't have a format. Like a lot of pirate stations, the medium was the message. The software was whatever was around, and for him it was a collection of oldies records, and whatever other records that people wanted to donate. It was just so cool to get a signal on the air that it was a reward in itself. The idea of actually programming it to attract an audience beyond the signal-curious wasn't much considered.

I have a strange problem with my grunding sat 500 receiver. I've bought it by second hand, if I use my external antenna (an horizontal dipole east-west oriented) and I tune the receiver on a station I see on the level meter a certain level . If i extracts the SAT 500 telescopi c antenna and I switch the antenna selector to "INTERNAL" (while the external is connected at the receiver) the signal level is increased by two or three points and the quality of the signal ncrease too. I don't beleive that this is caused by my position because my apartment is at the fourth floor in an eigth floor building and I'm surronded by other buildings , so the internal antenna cannot be better than the external one. Can this behaviour be caused by an internal amplifier of the SAT 500 that is activated by the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL switch ? Or simply my receiver has the external antenna input broken ???? Can anyone help me (by e-mail please ?) Thanks in advance .

Since then I wrote several articles about the radio that appeared in Monitoring Times Magazine. I think I was the first to discover and write an article about F.E.T. problem. I also developed several "mods" for the radio. I don't own another portable so I can only compare it to a high quality communications receiver like the Icom R71. Of course there's no comparison! The Sony 2010 is performs very good in AM or Synchronous mode but isn't does a poor job with SSB. The main problem is the I.F. filter which passes both upper and lower side bands. The synchronous detector rejects the other side band. The scheme works but in a crowded condition, like the Ham bands, the filter will pass signals that will cause the radio to reduce the sensetivity. You won't here the signal because it's rejected by the detector but it passes through the I.F. and caused the A.G.C. to responed. I corrected the problem in my 2010 by installing two (one for USB and the other for LSB) Rockwell/Collins Torsenal Mechanical Filters at $150 each. The filter cost almost as much as the radio but it works great on SSB. The only other problem is image rejection when an external antenna is installed. I'm solving this problem by designing a microprocessor controlled preselector front end. --- Jack Albert WA9FVP (Fellow Radio Hacker) Tellabs Operations Inc. 1000 Remington Blvd Voice (708) 378-6201 Bolingbrook, IL 60440 FAX (708) 378-6721 "I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal"!

Not withstanding other replies you've had, the 803A retails in the UK - or did until recently for less than $125 - and I doubt that it is more expensive in the US. Not much is! It is a good set from starter up to quite serious level, and there are some good and simple mods that make it even better. In good-to-reasonable condition, your $50-80 sounds just right.

If you are not satisfied with your current antenna's performance, remember that we're in the low point of the solar cycle and reception conditions are poor since solar activity is so low. Before doing all the work to redo an antenna, check lower frequencies and you'll find somewhat stronger signals.

I heard the stations in rural Mississippi, 65 miles NE of New Orleans. On subsequent occasions I have received them again (particularly the 790) at that location. So why am I posting? Hope this isn't much ado about nothing. In Mississippi there was an ID "Radio Reloj" and a four note chime (in my previous post I said that it was 3 notes. Sorry.) Last night, for the first time, I was able to pick up Radio Reloj here in New Orleans, at 570. However, at the minute, instead of a chime, there were "beeps" ("RR" in morse code). I listened at the same time of night in both Mississippi and New Orleans (mainly 2000-2100 local time). Why the difference? There are great differences in what I pick up on MW at the two locations. Could Radio Reloj be broadcasting from different sites in Cuba, and I'm picking up one station in Miss and another in N.O.? What complicates it somewhat for me is that Radio Reloj is not listed at 570 in the WRTH (of course, I know that stations change frequencies from time to time.) Thanks for any help. 73's.

The wire had built up static charge, and you guessed it, antenna 2 was history. No reception. For me, the problem was that I fried a coil on the input. I'm not sure if you had this particular problem, but I know that I have been careful to remove any static charge from the unit. I also won't transmit when the radio is on.

Gerry Bishop of Niceville, FL says that for this test he heard 30 minutes of CIDs and nothing else. Here in Huntsville, AL, I also heard nothing but CIDs as well, just "WANM" over and over, but I had to leave at about 11 past the hour due to some back problems. KTLC-1460 Dickinson, ND tested 1/23/96 from 2:30-3:30 am EST: Tim Noonan of Madison, WI reports that he heard this test with clear code at 3:15 EST. Andy Gardner of Wellington, New Zealand tried for the test but found the frequency was dominated by KULA in HI, tho he did heard some other stations on 1460 as well. Gerry Bishop of Niceville, FL was unable to hear the test, as was the case here in Huntsville, AL. I understand that the test was supposed to be run non-directional but someone at the station "forgot" that and it was run directional. Some final reports on the KBOZ-1090 test: KBOZ-1090, scheduled to test 1/15/96 from 2:30-3:00 am EST: Art Burke of Kansas City, MO (actually Lenexa, KS) tried for the test with no success, as did Patrick Mason of Mililani, HI. As was reported earlier, this test was a no-show and has been rescheduled for 2/12/96. That's all for now...

He is active in amateur radio and still interested in commercial broadcast. As I recall, the KVHF transmitter's downfall went undetected by the FCC until the night that broadcasting was commenced earlier than usual and caused TVI. The neighbor complianed to the FCC and a nearby monitoring van swooped in for the kill. The HF transmitter ended up rusting away in someone's backyard..... I still have my QSL card from KVHF!

Heard the voice ID as "Radio Reloj" and had to assume Cuba. (Although I didn't see it in the 1995 or 96 WRTH, either.) Although "Radio Reloj" is a common Latin American name, distance and conditions make me continue to presume it could only be Cuba. Bill M.

How about commercial radio users, police, fire, aircraft, radar and so on? Why the big attack on the hams? We communicate over long distance by virtue of excellent recievers, antennas, and operating technique rather than raw power.

I use to work for a CD manufacturer, and we did a lot of radio syndication programs that were distributed around the world. We had to make two sets of CD's, a northern hemisphere set and a southern hemisphere set. One time a run of northern hemisphere discs of a popular countdown show were sent "down under" by mistake. As a result a lot of "subliminal material" was in the clear instead of being properly backward masked as designed. :-) -- Rob Peebles, WD8LXX Dublin, Ohio reyolpme suoiverp ym ton dna flesym rof kaeps I From lwbyppp@epix.net Tue Jan 30 16:52:44 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!usenet.kornet.nm.kr!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!gatech!paladin.american.edu!auvm!VTBIT.CC.VT.EDU!DYBKAJ Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Message-ID: <199601282124.QAA08860@kei.com> Date: Sun, 28 Jan 1996 15:20:57 -0600 Reply-To: Jill Dybka Sender: "Short Wave Listener's List" From: Jill Dybka Subject: Re: Ken Stryker's address Lines: 8 Hello; Here is Ken Stryker's address: 2856-G West Touhy Ave Chicago IL 60645 The beacon guide was published in 1990 and an update was added in '93.

Keywords: Super Radio III G.E. Hello! About a month ago I inquired about getting a radio with excellent radio reception, especially in the A.M. spectrum of things. I am interested in picking up some distant broadcasts with it. I got a suggestion to purchase a Super Radio III, which I have seen mentioned here a couple times. Problem is, K-Mart, the one place I know of locally that sold them says they are discontinued. I went to radio shack and asked if they had anything similar, and they sold me a combo fm/am/tv1/tv2/aviation/ weather radio, but the A.M. reception was poor at best so I returned it. So: I have two options 1. Find someone to sell me theirs if they no longer need it, or if it would be possible to find some kind soul who can still pick these up new to purchase one for me, I would of course take care of all the monetary concerns. 2. Someone suggest to me a really nice but cheap if possible A.M. tuner, preferably something portable. Email would be most appreciated. Thanks -- | Erik Horn | "What have I become my sweetest friend?

I'm mostly considering the Radio Shack DX-394 which has a great price (compared to the other desktops) and the Drake SW8 which has similar features but at a greater price. I don't mind spending the $ if the receiver will actually be proportionally better. Anyone have any hints/suggestions for me as to which would be a better buy. I'm not looking for the perfect setup, just a nice receiver which will give me good continuous coverage up to 30MHz.

Sorry I don't have their phone number handy, but try information at 614-555-1212. I think it cost me about $55 plus shipping. Well worth it. Built well, needs no battery or other power source (gets it from the FRG-100), and a nice long cord. I personally did not like the beep each time you enter a digit, so I unsnapped the case and removed the little black beeper from the circuit board with a soldering iron. Real easy, now it's silent.

It was an in-store special in what they call "The Black Hole". "All Black Hole sales final: no refunds-no exchanges, Manufacturer's Warranty applies", but I exchanged an unsatisfactory cd-player under those terms less than a year ago. They had at least one more unit available at at the time I purchased my 700, and several other shortwave radios as well. I suppose they are demos/displays/returns/etc. Mine was complete and intact with multilingual instruction manuals out the wazzoo, and has given me no reason to think of it as anything but new except that the seal on the box was broken. The phone number on the receipt is (214)342-5800. I went in to price shop for something lesser: a yb400 or less expensive Sony, but my wife was in a generous mood.

This transceiver is a great thing: It's an ALINCO DJ-S1 and it can transmit in the range from 130.00 MHz up to 174.000 Mhz! There are some questions left, after using this thing a few weeks! - At first, how do I turn on (off) the roger beep! After pressing some keys, It sunddenly jumped on! - Can I TRANSMIT in the range from 108.0 Mhz up to 143.0 Mhz ? When I try to, it simply says: "Off". If so, how do I do so? - What are the buttons "TMS", "TONE" and "BS" used for? If you have an answer to my questions, please E-mail them to me (E.vanElk@ET.TUDelft.NL) Thanks in advance! If you have any other nice stuff about/for the ALINCO transceiver, I'm interested as well!

Just today I heard that the reason there are no details yet on the Kiwa WWW page is that his WWW page designer is out of town, Craig's awaiting his return for the online update. The loop sounds very clever. It will include a white noise generator (switchable in/out) that will make peaking the tuning circuit much easier for the frequency in use. Low battery consumption is a plus, too. Reportedly it only consumes 8ma at 9vdc, compared to 27ma (!) at 9vdc for the Radio Shack active antenna.

After a couple of days use Gordon phoned me and he was RAVING about its features. He even said this was the receiver he had been waiting 40 years for! I know Gordon and his reviews are usually very critical so the AOR 7030 must be really good for him to be so enthusiastic. To hear Gordon's comments tune into his radio programme on AWR.

Thanks. It decoded the Motorola system. It was a narrow bandwith (5 Khz) reciever. Not bad sounding, but not as good as those that had 10 Khz bandwith capabilities.

Is this > true, and if so, how is it done? Allison, Why yes it can be done... How? In a very similar fashion as the computer you are using now is sending information to the internet... What you do is to purchase a 'black box' that connects your computer to the speaker of your radio. A way to think of this black box is that it is very similar to a modem, in other words it converts sounds that can be sent over a phone line or as a radio wave into electrical impulses that a computer can understand and translate into another form: a weather map, a satellite photo, a fax, etc. The difference being that you are not using this black box to connect to another computer via telephone _wires_, instead the information is transfered via _radio waves_ and converted by both the black box and software on the computer into a graphic form that you can see on the screen. Think of it as a fax recieving machine with the hookup being to a radio instead of a phone line. Many HAM's use Packet Radio to both send and recieve digital information over their portion of the radio spectrum. If you are not a HAM you will (of course) only be recieving information so you could call the unit a 'dem' (as opposed to MOdem) as you would only be DEModulating signals... Both Universal Radio and MFJ manufacture equipment specifically for this purpose, I assume many others do as well (but they immediately come to mind). If you are interested in pursuing this further pick up the latest issue of either Popular Communications or Monitoring Times. Both publications have ad's for Universal and MFJ as well as other dealers such as Grove, Gilfer, EEB etc. that carry this sort of equipment. Call or post these manufacturers and ask for a catalog. Then look for publications dealing with "Digital modes". I hope I have been of some assistance.

The latest figures, based on audience measurements, is an increase of five percent on last year's record of 133 million, but excludes countries such as Iran, Iraq and Somalia where statistics are not available. ``From Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe, more people than ever rely on the World Service for news they can trust and programs they can enjoy,'' managing director Sam Younger said in a statement. The British Broadcasting Corp. said audience increases were recorded in every region of the world, particularly in Pakistan, where more than one in five adults listen to the BBC in Urdu and in Albania where half the adult population tunes in. Parliament funds the BBC's radio services with a $203 million grant. -- From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Feb 05 22:04:51 1996 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!newsxfer2.itd.umich.edu!chi-news.cic.net!nntp.coast.net!news.kei.com!newsstand.cit.cornell.edu!cu-dialup-0031.cit.cornell.edu!user From: jcr2@cornell.edu (John Rethorst) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: Any WWW Sites for Freq Scheds?

ICOM insisted that the R7100 was now made in two versions, one for the general public and another (with 800-900 coverage) for government and law enforcement agencies. The extended coverage version also se lls for $200-$300 more! Per discussions with ICOM there were very clear that this was done to comply with legal requirements that prohibit new scanners from be capable of receiving cellular telephone transmissions. My opposition has always been why we should be penalized if we want to listen to local law enforcement agencies within the 800 MHz band. Personally, I have no interest in listening to cell phones when a receiver as competent as the R7100 opens up al most 2 ghz of spectrum. I recently noticed that Grove now offers the R7100 with "restored" coverage so I set out to find out how it was done. Performing the following procedure will allow you to list en to local law enforcement with the 800-900 mHz portion of the spectrum. Remove the screws th at hold the top cover and disconnect the speaker. Next, remove the two flat head screws that h old the metal shield covering the rear of the front panel.. On the rear apron, remove the tw o screws that hold the upper chassis to the lower chassis. Finally, remove the antenna cable that is connected to the circuit board assembly in the rear right corner of the R7100. Referring to the owners manual, CAREFULLY separate the upper half of the receiver, inverting it, setting it be side the radio as illustrated in the owners manual. Be careful not to pull on the cables that connect the upper portion to the lower half of the radio. In the front of the owners manual ther e is a small paragraph that explains the various jumper options for the R7100's CI-V interface option s. It's on this board that the modification is done. The board is located behind the "M-SET" switch. The jumpers are actually circular pads, split vertically. A drop of solder constitutes a jumpe r - no solder = no jumper. Locate jumper "A6" as illustrated in the owners manual. Above "A6" you'll see a small ball of solder. Using solder wick, CAREFULLY remove the solder, exposing the split circular pad beneath. The space between the pads is very small so be sure to remove all the solder. Reassemble the radio and you're done!

Herb: My trusty Sony ICF 2001 still works well and lives at my bedside where the power-down after up to 90 minutes is handy. It is almost as sensitive, side-by-side, as my Drake R8 but lack all the features for digging out difficult signals. I was able to qsl many countries before getting the R8. The only real irritation I've had, similar to alll the other Sony products I own, is a scratchy volume control that requires occasional attention. I suppose the 2010, which still consistently garners accolades, is an improvement but not at your price. Your next step-up might be to a table-top when and if ready -- be sure to get something with synchronous detection. -RK- From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Feb 05 22:04:57 1996 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!skypoint.com!usenet From: Jeffrey Comstock Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: Re: RTTY FREQ...

You can't. Your antennas must be close enough that you're inducing enough current in the receiver to blow the fuse. Your best bet is to install a coax switch in the R71 line so you can easily open the antenna line when you want to transmit. Don't be tempted to short out the fuse; if you're dumping that much energy into the receiver, you're likely to blow out the front end transistor. Best of luck. -- mwhite@mitre.org My opinions are my own, not my employer's.

It is one of the older forms of radio navigation, but is still used. Due to it low relative cost, many small airports can afford an NDB for instrument approaches when costlier methods are not feasible. Also, the plane's ADF receiver (that is what is used to listen for NDB's) will tune and can home in on AM radio stations. This is convenient if you fly to small towns that have they own radio station but no nav-aids. Usually the identifier is broadcast in morse code and is a 3-letter ID. If yo u want to know where it is coming from, visit the local airport where flight lessons are available and ask to see a sectional or ask someone there to help you. Us pilots are an arrogant bunch of b-----ds and love to show off what we know. :-}. Also, if you have a scanner with a decent outside antenna, you might hear the local VOR (VHF omnirange) station on 108 - 118 mhz. Most of them will also have a 3-letter identifier.

From what I have gathered, the R8A does have better Filters and sync detector. But beleive me, the Sync Det. is nothing to brag about (just my opinion). As for the R8, or R8A being that much better than the radio you already have is purely judgemental. If in doubt, I recommend that you order direct from the manufactor since they offer a 15 day money back trial. It's a little bit more money (about $50), but if you decide not to keep it, there's no restocking fee, which many place charge around 20%. Their number is 1-800-937-2538.

If you knew anything about radio you would know that no one buys 12 plus numbers. Of course Stations like WGN have more 12 plus they have everyone over 65 and dead. The target of this radio station is adults 25-54. And just because you mentioned it I gave over half my check to Soy Cubano which builds plants in Cuba to make milk which they don't have because of the embargo. I gave the other half to Harvey Gant who's running against your buddy Helms in North Carolina. Now why don't you tell us what you've done for somebody else of late?

My first SW radio was an HE-30 which I used constanly from 1966 to 1972. Yes, it does have a nice speaker which matches the color of the radio. I logged 120 some countries with mine. The big drawback is the analog tuning and the fact that mine lost calibration over the years. The bandspread dial was a very nice feature, but again, if not calibrated you really don't know the exact freq you are tuning unless you can get a positive ID on a station.

I don't think that hams should be singled out for taxation, though! For the most part, hams do stay within the limits set by the FCC in the U.S. They usually self-police and don't interfere with other xmissions, unlike the cb'ers who use linears and throw carriers. I have heard some arguments on the 20 meter bands, but for the most part, most hams DO stay within the rules in Part 97. There are always exceptions to the rule! b.t.w.
