There is another, the DSP-100 by Comer Communications.  Their BBS is
[phone].  There is demo software (rad117x.zip) on the site....

The DSP-100 is a two-card direct conversion receiver, 0.4 to 30 MHz, with
DSP filters.  It can also be configured as a transceiver with some
additional modules.  Receiver configuration is <$700, transceiver about
$1000.

Nice catches, Don! I have heard that Nick Hall-Patch in Victoria has been
hearing Finland (1314 or 1344 kHz, I believe) in Victoria BC (about 150
mi. from me). I understand that Finland is the most likely Euro target
for those of us on the West Coast, although I haven't tried for it
myself. I've been sticking to MW DXing in the AM for S. Pacific & Asia.

I also have seen some loggings of a few of the common Aussie MW stations
by Ray Moore in Florida.

Hello,

        I will be purchasing a Drake SW8 for Christmas this year and am
wondering a few things about it. I have read review after review and I
know nearly everything about the radio without actually owning it. My
question is, can I DX with it? Is it a great radio for grabbing the weak
signals and pulling them in?


Finally, I have priced the radio from 16 different stores and the lowest
I have found it for is $679.95. If you know a store with a lower price could
you pass along the number to the newsgroup? Thanks alot!

Joseph V. Benik, Jr.

Save $200 and buy the Grundig YB400.  It may be smaller and have fewer
features, but its performance is just as good as the Satellit 700.

Hi,
   I'm new to the shortwave scene and I need to know what freqs will
likely be used for the upcoming influx of troops into Bosnia.
Are there standard government freqs for this/  Are transmissions
encrypted or are general communications audible from NA?

This is the first operator to take advantage of the allocations in the
expanded MW broadcast band.  They've not started regular operations yet,
although that's supposed to happed Real Soon Now.  BTW, it's Elizabeth,
NJ.

My set up is a Lowe HF225, 20M random wire, MLB and a recent Wavetech
(i think) DSP59+.

I live in a residential area and get quite a lot of hash from TVs, etc.
The DSP59+ is great at eliminating "manmade" noise automatically.
The agressiveness of the noise reduction can be controlled
to the individuals preference as well.

One push of a button and any hetrodynes are magically eliminated.

The 59+ uses two bandwidth controls, one high pass, one low pass, which
again is great for reducing adjacent interference.

I was a little sceptical about DSPs, but now use mine all the time.

SW radio is regulated CB is not. usually CB does not bend over the horizon.
To use SW radio you need an amateur licence...

possible, yes. If you've got the licence it's even legal, but still then not
appiciated by other ham's. If you are using CB you'll find the chanels to small
(close together) to use 28k8, common practice on CB is 1k2 or 2k4. This
is due to the bandwith required to transmit 28k8 over loger distances
while leaving some s/n ratio at the receiving end.
1k2 is not expencive, a few bugs for the modem is all you need to spend.
If you're willing to learn for the licence, the ham-radio packet-network
might come close to your needs.

If you want to know more about hams just ask an american ham. Maybe you
should reed rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc for a while.

The local station where I live was soooo bad you can hear  up to 7 or 8 harmonics

The station is on 1240 - I used to pick it up at:
2880, 3720, 4960, 6200, 7440, 8680, 9920, 11160

They have since cleaned up their emissions

You're absolutely right Peter, quite a few e-mails to me have expressed
similar sentiments, the price is too high, even allowing for the fact that
your price levels in the U.S. seem lower than ours for similar equipment.
Computer gear in the states is also cheaper by a similar margin i.e. the
U.K. price is always about the same as the dollar price, even though the
current exchange rate is about 1.5 dollars to the pound.

Is there an easy way to protect a radio from static damage from an outside
antenna? I was about to connect up my Sangean 803 AT to a wire outside
until I read this plus another post advising that the Sangean was
particularly sensitive in this respect.

Hi Jim,

I can assure you that shortwave signals do indeed skip into the
DC area.  Here in Kensington MD (just up the road from you), the
frequencies around 6000 kHz are particularly rich with signals
between sunset and sunrise.

Let me make the following assumptions:

    You're trying to hear what can be heard in Bethesda at the time
    that you're listening for it in Bethesda.  (E-mail me if you
    want info on a local newsstand that carries Monitoring Times
    and some Web Sites that link to broadcast schedules.)

    Your DX-380 and your amplified antenna are working properly.

My guess is that your Nebraska and Minnesota listening was done in
wood-frame houses, and that your Bethesda apartment house is steel-
framed and/or has reenforced (with steel rods) concrete floors.
If I'm right, in your apartment your amplified antenna is being
shielded from much of the radio frequency energy that you're trying
to receive.  Add to that what I assume is the electrically noisy
environment of a typical apartment building, and you probably can't
hear much.  But you might want to test my guess.

If you have access to your apartment house's roof, try taking your
radio up there.  If you can't get to the roof or if , try going out
into an open area (perhaps a street in a single family house
neighborhood or *with caution* Rock Creek Park) and seeing if
reception improves.

If reception outside your apartment is good, you might want to
consider dropping a piece of fine magnet wire (Radio Shack 278-
1345), weighted with a washer or a nut, out your window and using
it as an antenna.  If the reception outside your apartment is not
good, you might want to look into the possibility that either your
receiver or your amplified antenna (or both) are malfunctioning.

Good luck.

Hi Charles,

IMHO, any filtering that might help would have to be applied to the
florescent light wiring.  You might want to talk to your landlord
about that, but ...

You might want to try grounding your receiver to a *cold* water
pipe.  It might help to reduce the noise, but then again it might
not.

An outdoor antenna (depending on your receiver, you may need an
attenuator too) *and* a good ground probably will eliminate most if
not all of the noise.

Good luck.

David,

One way or another you're going to need a MW filter.  Why not bite
the bullet and try one.  My guess is that what you perceive as
radiated "harmonics" are also artifacts of your front-end overload
problem, and that the MW filter will eliminate them as well.

If I'm wrong, and the harmonics are real, the MW filter will not
eliminate harmonic radiation outside the broadcast band.  However,
a *polite* telephone call to the engineer at the radio station
radiating the harmonics may help get him to eliminate the problem.

Europe 1. The transmitter is actually in the Saarland in Germany but very
close to the French border. It's a 2000 kW transmitter feeding a directional
aerial beamed towards Central France, and I'm sure it must be listed in the
WRTH -- the station has existed for decades, look in the Germany section!

The station is also relayed by a chain of FM stations in France, and as far
as I know the French government still owns a large stake in it. Nice catch.

Hello DXers out there!

        I've been looking for an excellent portable SW receiver and am having
quite a time finding one. So far, I've tried the Sangean ATS-818CS,
Sony models, but nothing really works as well as my old Sharp GF-8585
or my Sony TR 911; all of which are leaving me and falling apart.
        The Drake SW8 appears to be quite good but it is quite high in price.
Still, if it were the best I'd consider it I guess. Grundig appears to
put out some good SW receivers too.
        If anyone has any feedback, I,d appreciate it.
        Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, the most interesting programme from RTL can only be
heard on FM in the surroundings of Luxembourg (92.5 MHz). It is a programme
in the Luxemburgish language, which covers all topics from missing cats
to a groups of children who have arrived safely at their holiday
destination.

Re the sum, harmonic, and product signals you are hearing, if the NRD-525
is generating the extra signals then a bandstop (or bandpass) filter will
help. If the signal mixing products are external to the receiver, then the
filter will not help. My guess is that a filter will help you on
everything but the 2x and 3x harmonics.

About a year and a half ago I had a 4-tower 50kW day/1kW night on 640 kHz
line of sight 3 or 4 miles north of here, and I extropolated the signal to
90dB/s9. The pattern was pointing in my direction. It drove my JRC
NRD-535D receiver and Kenwood TS-940S transceiver crazy. I had hash on
receivers -- even a portable radio in the other end of the house -- up to
21 MHz. My solution was two-fold.

I found my DEO Receiver Guard 2000-CTT (sold by Universal Radio) devices
in the antenna lines contained diodes, using diode-switching to shunt
strong signals to ground, and the strong 640 kHz e.m.f. turned those diode
protection devices into small transmitters. I pulled them out of line.

I installed two ICE (Industrial Communications Engineering: 800-423-2666
for orders, 317-545-5412 main office, 317-545-9645 fax) filters. One was
the Model 401 Bandstop filter; it differs from a bandpass filter such as
Kiwa sells in that it pokes a hole in the MW spectrum and passes LW and HF
signals through the receiver. I chose the bandstop over the bandpass so as
not to lose the LW reception I enjoy. The other filter was the Model 402X
Transceiving BCB filter for the ham transceiver. It handles up to 300w and
passes signals 1.8 MHz. Both filters are in the $30-35 class.

End result? Virtually all the problems went away. I could hear the third
harmonic and a trace of the fourth harmonic. but considering what had been
happening I was very, very happy with the outcome.

The ICE guys are terrific. I originally faxed an inquiry on a Sunday, and
a few minutes later the phone rang. A rep was working, and took the time
and interest to call. I couldn't believe it. I had the packages in a few
days.

Postmortem: The 640 kHz station went off the air after a few months, with
a long legal battle between partners. It reappeared as a 500w a few miles
further. I recently learned that the antenna farm will be dismantled and
moved about 10 miles west for an 830 kHz daytimer, so I don't have to
worry about another station starting up so close to me.

Hope this helps.

Tom S.

        Yesterday I bought a DX-375 from Radio Shack. It was on sale for $129
CND, regularly $199 CND. This is my first shortwave radio, and I would
like to know if it is a good radio for a beginner, and if it is a good
value for the money. The only other radio was the DX-392 for $249 CND.
Could someone explain the differences between the two radios (in
laymen terms, please)? I would also appreciate it if you could suggest
some fairly basic books on shortwave radio.

Greetings everyone.

Here are my latest numbers stations loggings from 11/23/95 to 12/01/95.
My radio is a Sangean ATS-606 portable, on a 120' random longwire antenna.

Notes:
* My radio only has a frequency resolution of 5kHz, so the frequencies
listed below are only accurate to + or - 5kHz.
* All transmissions are in AM, becuase this is the only mode my radio
supports.  * Frequencies are in MHz
* Times are in UTC
* Days and Dates listed are my local days and dates, not UTC days and
dates.

Freq:  7.490  Time:  2:01  Date:  95-11/26  Day:  Sun
Description:  Numbers, Spanish:  Lower pitched female.  Tuned in
mid-transmission and missed attention line.  In five digit format, sending
at a fast rate of 20 groups per minute.  Unknown signoff time.  SIO = 444

Freq:  8.185  Time:  2:03  Date:  95-11/26  Day:  Sun
Description:  Numbers, Spanish:  High pitched child-like female.  Tune in
mid-transmission and missed attention line.  In five digit format, sending
at a fast rate of 20 groups per minute.  Not parallel to the above
broadcast, this station was heard last week at this time, day and freq.
SIO = 454

Freq:  7.490  Time:  2:05  Date:  95-11/26  Day:  Sun
Description:  Numbers, Spanish:  Lower pitched female.  Notice that this
transmission immediately followed or stomped out the transmission on this
frequency that began at 2:01 on 95-11/26.  Message was as follows:
ôAttencion 584, 07ö repeated, ô07, 74ö repeated, folled by five digit
groups.  Continuous moderate QRM.  Not sure if this transmission stomped
out the transmission began earlier on this freq or what.  Last week at
this day, time and freq the message was to 684, 07, 07, 74.  ôFinale,
finaleö at 2:13.  SIO = 434

Freq:  6.825  Time:  3:00  Date:  95-11/26  Day:  Sun
Description:  Numbers, Spanish:  Carrier up at 2:53.  High pitched female.
 Message was as follows:  ôAttencion 04499ö repeated, ô04499 150ö
repeated, and then five digit groups.  This was the same address
information as the message that went out last week at this day, time and
freq.  Message was sent at about 15 groups per minute.  SIO = 444

Well, that is it for now.  Please post your numbers logs to
rec.radio.shortwave so that all can share in this interesting niche of
shortwave listening.

I just finished executing the mod posted on this group for disabling
the muting.  Now I have an almost completely dead radio.  The dial
light works and the clock display comes on but nothing else responds.
I even soldered the wire I cut back in place and it is still dead.  I
have a vague recollection of this symptom showing up in the mail here
before.  Any suggestions?

I agree!!!   I installed R390s in naval communications installations in the late '50s early '60.  They take a lot of punisment.
They were often used long haul HF communication links.  Later installations used a separate converter to handle multichannel
single sideband links.   I wouldn't mind having one myself.  I started out in the RBB/BBC radio days in the '50s.  I recently
visited the basement of the old Presidential Palace in Saigon......the radio room had R390s and other similarly agged stuff.

Recently I bought a SONY - ICFSW7600G shortwave radio from a local dealership
in Virginia (Electronic Equipment Bank).   This radio is only set to run on 110
Volts 60 Hz power supply. Input to the radio is 6 Volts DC (Don't remember the
wattage though).

        Since this is for my father who currently resides in China, I would like to
give him an adaptor which will convert 220 Volts 50 Hz AC (the Chinese
standard) into the 6 Volts DC input needed for the radio.  However, none of the
SONY dealers around Washington DC,  Maryland,  Virginia sell adaptors which
convert from 220 Volts AC to the required 6 Volts DC needed for the radio.

        Is it possible to get some info on the exact model number of the specific
adaptor and where it could be purchased from (Europe/Asia/Mid-East..)?
Actually I need to know of telephone #s or URL addresses of companies selling
this particular brand of product.  I would appreciate if someone with this info
could e-mail me directly.

Well, it is the same radio as the DX-390, made by Sangeon.

Since RS has a 169.95 sale on the DX-390...I'd suggest you consider that
one.

overall radio?

There is an English-language successor to "Fab 208" -- it's Atlantic 252,
located in the Irish Republic and owned jointly by Radio Telefis Eireann and
CLT (the company that owns Oldiessender and the RTL TV channels).

Bill,

I am not an authority on longwave reception, but you might get better
reception if you inserted a 900 ohm resistor between the antenna and
ground at the far end.  That is the end closest to England.  What this
does is reduce the signals and noise coming from the oposite end of
your antenna which is closest to California.

What's the layout for the resistor?  First get a 900 ohm resistor (a
variable resistor that covers 900 ohms plus and minus would work good
too, then you can tune it).  Next get a grounding rod and pound it into
the ground under the far end of the antenna.  Hook the resistor to
the far end of the antenna and run a wire from the other end of the
resistor to the ground rod.  Now all the signals coming in from behind
you are going into ground and not returning to your reciever.

this setup works better with longer antennas, but it may work with
yours.  You never know until you try it.  That's what is so delightful
about this hobby, experimenting!.

Let me know how it works out.

Jimmy Carter and General Amadou Toumani Toure
Take Part in WORLDNET "Dialogue"

Washington, D.C., Dec. 1, 1995 -- Former President Jimmy Carter
and General Amadou Toumani Toure of Mali will take part in a live
WORLDNET "Dialogue" on Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 9:00 a.m. to discuss
the near-eradication of Guinea worm disease throughout Africa.
During the teleconferencing, President Carter and General Toure,
who will be in the WORLDNET studios at 601 D St., N.W. for the
program, will answer questions from public health specialists and
non-governmental organizations' representatives in Bamako, Mali;
Nairobi, Kenya; and Niamey, Niger.

The Carter Center launched the Global 2000 program in 1986 to
fight the spread of Guinea worm disease, which affects people in
sixteen African nations, as well as India, Pakistan, and Yemen.
Together with its partners, including the U.S. Agency for
International Development, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and UNICEF, Gobal 2000 has reached a 97 percent
eradication rate of the Guinea worm disease.  If the program
reaches its goal of 100 percent, it will be only the second
disease, along with smallpox, to have been totally eliminated.

"Dec. 4 has been declared International Guinea Worm Day," said
WORLDNET Director Charles Fox.  "Our 'Dialogue' on Dec. 5 will
fulfill one of our most important objectives--to keep people in
other countries informed of matters that directly affect their
lives."

On Dec. 4, Former President Carter will mark Guinea Worm Day with
a news conference and luncheon at the State Department starting
at 12:00 p.m., and attend a 2:00 p.m. ceremony where he will make
remarks about the efforts against Guinea worm disease.  The State
Department will debut a Guinea worm exhibition at 3:15 p.m.

WORLDNET, the Television and Film Service of the United States
Information Agency, currently transmits 24 hours of programming
each weekday to reception sites at U.S. embassies, cultural
centers, and cable and broadcast systems worldwide.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Media wishing more information about the broadcasts should
contact the International Broadcasting Bureau's Office of
External Affairs, [phone], or Martha Deutscher at WORLDNET
Television, [phone].

AN OPEN LETTER

From:
Allan H. Weiner
97 High Street
Kennebunk, Maine 04043
Phone [phone]


November 23, 1995

Tonight, my girlfriend, Elayne asked me why I want to put another radio
station on
another ship. My reply was, because I feel one is needed.  I see the
concentration and
centralization of control of the media by fewer and fewer individuals.  In
the USA, the
government dares to sell radio frequencies to the highest bidders.  Who
gave them the
right to do this?  Who said these frequencies are their property to sell?


I am old fashioned, I believe the airwaves belong to all.

The contact between a radio announcer and a listener is a precious thing.
In this era of
extremely commercial, heavily regulated, and very homogeneous programming,
this one-
to-one contact is lost.

Offshore radio was the last hold out.  Free from the grasp of direct
government or
corporate control, these stations were the last hope of the listener for
something truly
unique.

The governments of this world do not own the radio airwaves, much as they
do not own
sunshine, which is basically the same electro-magnetic energy.  Radio is a
true natural
resource that belongs to all.  Offshore broadcasting is the purest form of
the use of this
resource.  They are real natural stations!

I have a ship. I want to build another offshore broadcasting station to
travel the world's
seas and broadcast wherever a radio voice is needed.

It will be safe, it will be legal, and it will be good.

It will be available for lease to those who truly value radio as a
communications tool to
touch the lives of all they wish to reach.

I need a partner, one who will invest the money to do this right and
finish the radio ship.
Yes, there is money to be made and more.

This world needs at least one good fully-operational radio ship--out
there, broadcasting
its message, bolstering the human spirit.

Allan H. Weiner.

Hi,

My DX-390 is dead now. All it displays is 3 57. I replaced new batteries
but to no avail. I suspect that 3 57 is an error code. I am not able to
activate the clock or the radio. Can  anyone help me with this problem?

Thank you

Richard,

The sync on the R8A is USELESS. Simply awful. Fortunately, Manual ECSS is a
breeze on this unit and the PBT can supress the opposing sideband using the
4khz filter.

Jurgen, I heard a similar station on 1500 kHz between 0100 and 0130 this
morning (Sat Dec 2nd) which I also suspect was a Venezuelan, although I
wasn't able to catch an ID either. Propagation to North America was not very
good last night, but there were plenty of Spanish-language stations on 10kHz-
spaced channels on MW, most carrying football commentaries. On 1470kHz,
there was a strong station carrying commentary with frequent mentions of
Caracas, which would support the Venezuela theory!

The '96 Passport gives the same address. Maybe this is a dopey question,
but did you remember to add the country, Tunisia, or did the address end
with *Tunis,* as in your message. That could be the problem.

I don't know exactly what Michael E. Bott meant in his reply to you but I
have a question. My Sony 2010 manual says on page 8 #34 "When the stereo
headphones are connected, the sound is heard in monaural.", and it doen't
mention anything about stereo FM anywhere in the manual. Are there some
models of 2010 that have stereo FM output?

I suspect you were listening to a CBC station from Canada relaying DW.

I would like to second what Riochard wrote you.  The Collins designed
R390A is the best bargain on the street today.  The receiver has a
dynamic range of over 104 db with AM sensitivities of .4 uv.

On a recent DX'pedition, an R390A teamed up with a Sherwood SE-3 was
able to cull readable copy from RRI Dili on 3.304 when the two Drake
R8A's and even two Watkins-Johnson HF-1000's could not get as much
readable copy.

You can find good '390s about but you have to be careful.  The best
one (and newest) is the 1967 build EAC unit.  Every now and again,
Rick Misch up at Miltronix gets one he refurbishes and they are like
new.  Cost: about $700.  However, they are spotless and look like they
came out of the box.

If you have any more quesitons, drop me an E-Mail at:
[e-mail]

I wrote an article on the R390A for the Collins Collector Magazine
about a year ago and would be glad to share more about this fine
receiver.

That was what I was attempting to question ... the FM Stereo portion

I have logged three broadcasts in English here in Huntsville Alabama in
the past three months.  The vast majority of what I hear is in Spanish,
and I have never heard any in any other languages, becuase I only know
English and Spanish!  Would know German if I heard it, but have not.

Down here, most of the Spanish numbers stations I hear vary from SIO = 222
to SIO = 555.  I think many of the ones I hear here in Alabama are coming
from Cuba.  I have even heard Radio Havana audio in the background of one
or two of the transmissions, at a time when PWBR listed no Radio Havana
transmission on any frequency near what I was listening to.  However, it
wouldn't shock me to know that our government also numbers broadcasts in
Spanish, either to confuse and block enemy messages or as a method of
communication.

I would certainly second the other complimentary comments about the
R390 and R390A. I have had two, one manufactured by Stewart-Warner and
one manufactured by Motorola that was completely refurbished by Rick
Mish at Miltronix. The first one I bought for $250.00 and it worked
fine, had the usual wear and tear on the front-panel, etc. The second
one looked better than it did the day it came out of the factory when
Rick was through with it. He charges between $600.00 and $800.00 for a
radio, depending on just how obsessive you want to get :-). I use mine
just about every day, and for AM listening, I would put it up against
any of the more modern receivers I have or have used, which include
most of the popular reveivers on the market today, including the
Watkins-Johnson. (The WJ and the others are much better for SSB and
FSK, of course). The Collins mechanical filters on the 390A are
incredible, and must be heard to be believed. The 390 had crystal
filters rather than mechanical filters, which may be an advantage or
disadvantage depending on what you want to do with the
radio. Generally though, the 390A is preferred over the 390 and
probably represents the pinnicle of vacuum-tube receiver technology.

FreeWave Technologies makes a spread spectrum modem that, depending upon conditions,
might be able to meet your needs.  With clear line of sight we can transmit full duplex 115 KB data over 20 miles.
Under ideal conditions much greater range can be achieved (recently a customer of ours had a 90 mile link from Mt. Everest to
Kathmandu with a 5 watt amplifier on only 1 end).  The product can also be used as a store and forward repeater.  Therefore,
with a combination of directional antennas, good line of sight, and a repeater or two, our product can do the job.  Please let
me know if you would like some more information.

I've seen mixed reviews on the Super Radio 3, but I've had a couple of Super
Radio 2's for several years and have been very pleased, especially considering
that they only cost about $35 apiece!

AM performance is very good. There is a fairly large ferrite bar antenna in the
top of the cabinet that is very sensitive, and allows decent nulls for going after
non-dominant stations on the same frequecy, or killing a local an an adjacent
frequency. The audio quality is excellent with unbelievably strong bass
(separate bass and treble controls are effective). I haven't modified either
of these radios, but there is a lot of room in the cabinet. Some interesting
projects to consider:

custom calibrated dial
digital frequency display
Q-multiplier
crystal or mechanical IF filters

New Orleans should be an excellent MW DX location due to ground

lived in south Texas, San Antonio/Austin and frequently visited

WBZ Boston 1030 used to be a good indicator of conditions to the NE,
CKLW Windsor (?) 800 generally difficult due to interference from XEROK
Ciudad Juarez (call has changed) and Trans World Radio on the island of
Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles (just N of Venezuela). New York stations
on 740 and 880 were also a little difficult, but again indicators of NE openings.

KMOX St Louis 1120 should be very strong, and used to have excellent
quality audio (owned by CBS?). WHO Des Moines 1040 also strong
regular (usually 'laid back' programming/announcing). WHAS Louisville 840,
WSM Nashville 650, KVOO Tulsa 1170, and KRVN Nebraska 880 ditto.

There aren't too many high power stations in MS/LA, but try down on the
lower end of the dial where short and medium range propagation is
more favorable.

I used to have more difficulty with the western stations. The strong ones
included KOA Denver 850, KBCQ Roswell 1020, and KSL Salt Lake City
1160. The Pacific indicators I used were 1070 KNX Los Angeles and
KFI on 640. 0

It used to be exciting to get up after midnight on Sunday and Monday
mornings when many domestics were down for maintenance, and
listen to Central and South American stations (Venezuela, Colombia,
Guatemala). The Mexican stations were actually the pests.

An air core loop with amplifier is your best bet. The NRC has plans for
several designs. A good loop allows for very deep nulls that can make
a strong signal disappear, and more distant stations to be received.
There are some commercial MW antennas (Palomar, Kiwa, etc.) but
a well made 2'-4' air core is hard to beat. The parts would probably
cost $25-$30.

You might try one the cable TV supply houses. RG-6 is usually used for
feeder applications. It's probably not going to be an easy item to find in
small quantities. You would probably get indistinguishable results from
a high-grade RG-59 (Belden, etc.) or a military grade 75 ohm coax.

The R-390A is generally regarded as the best receiver available for AM DXing. They were
the ultimate culmination of Collins' efforts during WWII to build the 'hands down' ultimate
communications receiver. Some of the cool features on these radios are:

linear tuning with digital counter readout (uses inductive tuning mechanism)
mechanical filters in the IF stage for incredibly steep skirts and deep ultimate rejection
ovens to minimize frequency drift

They don't have very good SSB performance, but for an AM DX machine it's
unbeatable.

BTW, there were several companies that manufactured the R-390A (under
license?). Besides Collins, I can only recall Veeder-Root. I think the Collins are
probably the most collectible.

I've tried both the YB400 & the Satellite 700.  Both radio's are fine
radio's and serve different needs.  If your looking for something portable
the YB400 might be the better choice.
However, if size isn't important, the Satellite 700 is a better value.
For starters, the 700 has much better sound, bigger speaker with both bass
and treble.  It comes with a sync detector, which works great.  The
antenna is attached to the unit, which means you don't have to string out
a real of wire to pull in distance stations. It comes with a power supply,
don't have to use batteries unless you want to.  You can opt to use Ni-Cad
batteries and with the flick of an internal switch use the radio's power
supply to charge the batteries.  It can store over 512 different freq
(Standard), and can add up to 3 times more for around $12.00 per 512
module.  It has several jacks on the back and side, such as an external
antenna input.
The YB400 is a fine radio, but from my own experience, for the extra money
you do get a better value with the Satellite 700.

Just my opinion,
Bill

Cal, N6KYR writes "I heard much discussion regarding the R-390 family of
receivers as a great SWL receiver. What about the 51-J4?

     I use both  a R-390A and a 51J4 (and many other boatanchor sw sets).
I recently had the R-390A overhauled by miltronix up in Ohio.  One of the
reasons you don't see as much talk about the 51J4 is production figures.
There were about 45- 50 thousand 390/A radios produced by many companies
(figures obtained from R390A user survey ).  The 51J4 run was only around
6000 (ex-collins employees claim this and supported by serial numbers) and
all were made by Collins from 1952-62.
     According to the Moore's book on communications receivers the R390
design evolved from the basic R-388 design.  One of the flaws of the 51J4
is PTO drift and setting of the enpoints is more difficult than the R390.
Another problem is the single AGC attack time....Dallas  Lankford wrote in
the Collins Quarterly magazine , July 1991 "The single AGC attack and
release times may make the J4 less attractive to some SWL's because to
obtain the best possible reception quality for strongly fading signals
either the RF gain must be reduced or the AGC must be turned off and
manual RF gain contol used" snip " The R-390A is a clear winner with its 3
attack and relase times. However, I don't consider the J4 AGC problem to
be a serious defect; it doesn't bother me to reduce the RF gain or use
manual gain control"
     Some J4 owners have complained that the 6kc mechanical filter is too
narrow for "easy" shortwave listening.  Another owner sent me a circuit
using some resistors and capacitors for plugging in the 6kc filter slot,
it gives you  a fuller audio with nice highs.(write me if you want the
circuit diagram).  Also from the same Collins Quarterly magazine " The J4
crystal phasing control is the best I have used, better that the standard
Hammarlund crystal filter, just like a notch filter, which gives the J4 an
edge over the R-390A in some situations."  I found this to be true and for
some weak signal DXing the J4 is the winner.   Just my .02 worth.  Happy
Hollidays and Good DX, Bill, AC4LC.

Tim,
     Good work on an excellent, reasoned refutation of Al/Anita's latest
attempt to secure public funding for his hobby. Tilting at windmills is all
well and good, I guess; but seeking to part people from their cash on the
pretext that some imagined "good" is being done for humanity so some guy can

I received CKLW about 9 pm central down here in Texas. Signal was very
good when it was in, about s7 on the meter. They are on 800 khz. It
tended to fade in and out slowly, being over run by Mexican stations. Brian.

From my experience putting the wire under the eve of the house would work
well, provided that there are no wires or metal gutters nearby.  I have
also found that looping the wire back doesn't help, and lightening isn't a
ver big problem, since the house is higher than the wire.  One suggestion
that I could make for the placement of the wire is along the top of your
attic across to house.  That way lightening is not a problem, since it in
inside, and this also makes installation easy.

My DX440 has an RCA jack as an antenna jack. RS calls it a phono jack.
it sounds as though you have the right part.

For both purposes try a so-called magnetic longwire balun.  This is no
more magnetic than any transformer and is designed for random wires rather
than long wires and is an unun, not a balun, but the one I have by RF
Systems does work.  (This model advertises that it is patented but what
the patent protects I do not know.  I was told by folks who may know--or
may not--that copies by other companies do not work as well.)

The John Peel Show on BBC WS. It's on several times per week (the same
program, mind you); I usually listen to it at 7:15 a.m. Eastern Time (1215 UTC)
and the frequency it's on (escapes me this second . . . 5975 kHz maybe) comes
in strong so you can hear everything. Peel is a legend in the UK and _still_ plays
cutting edge stuff crammed into a half-hour. Less talk, more rock. That's Peel.
Also, he doesn't kowtow to fashion. He plays the songs that have made the
biggest impression on him that week, so you'll hear bands that you will often
NEVER have heard before. I run an underground music fanzine and get sent
an average 30-40 titles per week, sometimes way more, and I've still hardly ever
heard most of what Peel plays (except, ofcourse, for The Fall, with whom Peel is
and always has been an obsessive compulsive; given that The Fall are coming
out with new titles in January, February _and_ March you can expect to hear a lot
of The Fall on Peel's show in the new year). Anyhow, if you're into hearing new stuff
that in all probability will not become tomorrows hits, and that is altogether different
from most North American rock radio (commercial or college) then Peel is excellent.
BTW, he seems to split his playlists pretty evenly between Brit stuff and Ameri stuff.

Yesterday, after R. Tanzania Zanzibar left 11734.1 at 2000, what I'm
pretty sure was R. New Zealand was audible on 11735 with news. Poor
signal! Not beamed to North America.

Years ago, RNZ used to be quite easy to hear, but they've cut back their
schedule drastically since then.

For what it's worth, I often listen to RNZI and I live in Little Rock,
Arkansas. I listen on either my Sony SW77 or my Sony SW10 and don't have
much trouble with it being weak or fading.

I don't think RNZI has cut back on their schedule lately. It's that the
maximum usable frequency is about 10 MHz at night in North America right
now, and RNZI broadcasts on 15.115 until 0500 UTC, and on 11.900 until
0715 UTC. Here in Minnesota the only time I've heard them recently is
between 0715-1200 UTC on 9.700. Since that's 1:15-6 AM local time, I
don't listen often. The reception should improve in the spring when days
are longer and the MUF is higher in the evening.

I think if you check RNZ skeds from 30-40 years ago, you'll see that they
have significantly curtailed their SWBC activities since those days. It
has nothing to do with MUFs!

I logged RNZI on 15115 at 0345-0400 twice. I'm on Long Island and not
using anything fancy (a Yacht Boy-400 and longwire).

They refused my 1st QSL request. I just sent them a more detailed
report.

No trouble at all near Hamilton, Ontario, although sometimes it's weak
enough to be unpleasant to listen to for a long time.  I often put on 9700
in the wee hours of the morning.  It is not meant for North America.

Hi all.

Some of Radio New Zealand's frequencies are: 9700, 15115, 11900, 11735.
Is anyone getting reception near New York City? If so, what times?
Which one is better? Any of them meant for North America?

Regards,

Sayed.

This past summer the 15115 kHz frequency was coming in early to late evenings
in Southern Ontario like gangbusters, it was as strong as the BBC relay from
Sackville, I kid you not. This was consistent 5-6 nights per week. This past fall
and winter has been another story entirely . . . barely lucky to pull that frequency
in passably for more than once a week, and even then the signal is pretty dodgy.
The 9700 kHz freq in the wee hours is, as you mention, probably the best bet, it
comes in quite strong compared to the 15115 kHz; but the time of day isn't exactly
the best and the programming for the time slot isn't quite as good.

Hear, hear!!  I don't really want to hear the same stuff I already get
from my own national (and, regional) broadcasters.

The BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation ought to be 'broadcasting' stuff
with the emphasis on the word 'British'!!!

In some parts of the world, undoubtedly the BBC does an essential job
of providing regional news and programming.  It is hardly necessary in
Australasia/Pacific!!!

Cheerio, Alan.

It could be a US station, maybe from the Southwest. America has a
considerable Latino population and they have their own stations. These
stations can sound deceptively like Mexican/Central American stations. Try
to listen for the English ID on the hour as required by FCC law.

   The one Spanish station that I usually get here in Denver, is
XEAI from Mexico City, DF.  They ID as " AI " in spanish. Or Radio Canal
Tropical or just Radio Tropical. Also Radio AI.  I mainly just the " AI "
 in spanish you should listen for "Ah ee "

I suspect the drifting signal on or around 1537kHz is Iraqui Army Radio.
No idea on the other signal though I've also heard it.

    Bob Colyard, the person I can say turned my SWLing from a pain to a
pleasure, has put his:  DX & Other Interesting Stuff   database on the web.
Bob used to produce a multi-page listing of Shortwave programs for now defunct
SPEEDX club. He may still be publishing his document for some other group, I
should check. Now, he has started to publish his work on the internet via the
web.

    Check out, http://www.cybercomm.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/~slapshot/speedx.sh
and see. When you bring up this page, it extracts the current hour's shortwave
programs from his database. If you see specific stations, days, times, frequency
Bob's page allows you to seek it and display it with your web browser!

    I welcome his effort and have added the URL to my personal top 5 radio WWW
sites.  I can only hope that people who are struggling with shortwave listening will find this page and his database as rewarding an adventure as I did.

Charles:

You're hearing Trans World Radio, which in Spanish is "Radio Mundial
Adventista." They're on two frequencies in the 9 mHz band:
9725 from 1300-1800 and 2300-0500 UTC, and 9875 from 1100-1300 UTC.
Address is Ap. 1177, 4050 Alajuela, Costa Rica.

You would have this kind of information at your fingertips should you
pick up a copy of either the World Radio TV Handbook or Passport to World
Band Radio. Listening to shortwave without them is like driving the back
roads of New Jersey without a map.

Sure, just connect two small signal diodes like 1N4148s across the
two wires of the antenna lead-in, right at the ant connector on
your radio, and it will not remove any of the RF signal you want to
hear, but it WILL drain off static from the antenna, and protect your
radio from anything but a direct lightning hit or something similar.

The BEST protection is to disconnect the antenna when the radio is not
in use or any time you think an electrical storm is starting.

DX-380 is a great receiver. I found mine on clearance for under $70 at local RS. It is better than my Sony 7600G.

I have a Radio Shack DX-390 in excellent condition that I would like to
sell.  The reason that I am selling it is that I have upgraded to the new
DX-394.

I will include all the necessary batteries, including NiCd batteries for
the main batteries and alkalines for the memory batteries.  Also, I will
include the Radio Shack DC Adaptor for 110 VAC.

I will also ship the radio in its original box with the owner's manual.
The radio will arrive essentially new in the box and be ready to play.

I will sell this package for $125, including shipping.

You can reach me via return E-Mail or by calling me directly at 508-880-4292.

Thanks and 73s,
Ed--AA1IN

Grove Enterprises sells the GE Superradio for about $59.  That
seems to be about average for mail order.  I have seen them slighly
less expensive at Best Buys, a large chain of audio-video and
computer stores.  I think that you'll love the radio in Oregon, as
you should have no trouble receiving quite a few late night
stations from the Mid-West.

I was waiting for someone to ask this. A local discount chain (Ann&Hope
New England Area) sells them for $45. I never thought of the price when I
bought it until I saw the prices these mail order places were selling them
for. This probably wont help you much, but it is interesting how much it is
marked down. I always thought the mail order places were cheaper, will
probably have re think that on some of these more common items.

You should probably just check some local discount chains before ordering from
grove or similar places.

Rob, I live in NE Tennessee, have a Superradio, and listen to AM
stations from anywhere east of the Mississippi with no problem. I am
more of a program listener than a DXer, though, so I haven't spent a
lot of time bandscanning for the far-out stuff... I'm happy with my
SR, though, and for the price it's unbeatable!

I have owned a GE SuperRadio II for about 3 years.  The III was
getting bad reviews at that early date.

Now on this newsgroup I read only about the III and owners seem
generally to like them for sensitivity and of course audio
quality.

How does the III compare to the II?  I'd appreciate comments from
all who have advice to offer, and especially from persons who
have used both of them in a single location - and , ideally at
the same season of the year.

Should I buy a III?

Thanks!

Here in the S.F. Bay Area, India on the following frequencies have been
peaking briefly at local dusk for about 10-20 minutes:

4860, 4840, 10330.  Between 29 Nov. and 02 Dec. the peak is at
0110-0120 UT, then gradual fadeout, starting with the 60 MB signals.

Tadjikistahn on 4635 showing similar enhancement at West Coast North
America sunset/dusk periods.

Taking a look at Geoclock (6.0), looks like our sunset/dusk period in
mid. California corresponds to the sunrise/dawn period at or near Dehli
and the western part of the Indian-sub cont.

The 0110-0120 UT grayline enhancements are quite striking and
noticeable, esp. when indices are low (K < 2).

Sometimes, 10330 AIR developes an echo, as the longpath and shortpath
signals mix.  Tis is not nightly, but occurred twice toward the end of
November at 0115 UT.

I also live within (weak) groundwave distance of Marine coatal station
KPH in Bolinas, Ca, just north of San Francisco in Marin County.  there
are quite a bit of hills in the way, so their signal is weakish on the
above 16 Mhz frequencies, except when planes fly overhead, then there
are enhancements (characteristic flutter, etc.) similar to VHF.  Also
makes for interesting meteor scatter signal, esp 17088.  Anyway, at
10-11:30 AM PST (18-1930 UT), KPH on 17088 developes nice
"round-the-world" echo on their CW signal!  Rather fun to listen to.

73,

Steve

Bryan,

It will probably bring in some signals...but probably not very
efficiently.  There is a perverse breed of Ham operator that delights
in loading up strange metal objects and communicating with them.  With
the right antenna matching hardware, practically any metallic object
can be used as an antenna.  The best antenna for many of us is anything
we can reasonably do from our QTH.  In your case, it may be the fire
escape.  It would be interesting to see how it compares to one of the
amplified indoor antennas such as the Radio Shack, etc.

Good Luck,

Paul

Brand new to the group.  Listening (on & off) for over 40 years.
Alas, my ICF-2001's keys are getting intermittant and I would like to
find someone to give it a "tune up".  Is this cost-effective?  Anybody
got a handle of who's best to contact 'bout it?

Would appreciate the reply by E-note.

Thanks,

I have owned a 2006 for about 3 years now, and to this date I have no
complaints.  A very capable scanner for it's price.  It kept me busy
during my liberty hours throughout my last years in the Marine Corps,
snooping in on the MPs, Helos, jets, and what not. It kept me company
during some of the hardest years in my life; kept me occupied and out of
trouble.  I woudn't trade it in for anything.

I am also looking to buy an unblocked hand held scanner with continuous
coverage so that I can be mobile enthusiast.  I am looking for some
suggestions and sales offers.

I recently bought a used Sony 2001D (2010) which I intend to use as "back-up"
for my NRD-515.  The set seems to be quite sensitive, but selectivity leaves a
bit to be desired in my opinion.  The Wide filter is rather useless except for
listening to strong stations with no or little interference.  The Narrow filter
is far better for my kind of listening (the weaker stations), but its skirt
selectivity is not impressing.  Do someone out there have any experience with
filter modifications sold by Kiwa or others?  Who should install these filters
(manufacturer, the common radio repair man, anyone)

The Kiwa wide filter replacement is good, getting rid of most adjacent
channel heterodyning. The jury is still out on the Kiwa narrow filter.

I let anyone (actually, me) change the filters, although I did have a
tension headache afterwards, due in no particular order to (a) it
being the first time I did something like this, (b) the small size of
the components and (c) a solder bridge I had to fix up. If you have more
than two thumbs, you should probably get somebody else to do it. (For
those contemplating filter replacement on a new radio, do wait until
after the warranty expires.)

   Zoom Black Magic was the first pirate station to broadcast
openly in defiance of the FCC (in both Seaside and Fresno,
California) and even showed up once in the Arbitron ratings.
Zoom has had numerous run-ins with the FCC but is still on
the air semi-regularly in Fresno and, from time to time, in Los
Angeles.

         1.  Type numbers of IC's to fit to radio.

         2.  Pin out of ACC socket on back radio.

         If you have an R5000 running under computer control or have the
         above information I would be pleased to hear from you.

Roger,

I'm not sure that you really meant that only Kenwood's IC-10 chipset fits
the R-5000.  That is certainly not the case.  I've installed those chips
several times.  They are readily available from electronics parts houses.
 I can't recall the numbers at the moment, but the two chips total up to
about $10.00 compared to Kenwood's $40.  Of course, you still need the
outboard IF-232 level translator/interface unit.  It is pricey, but works
well.

I live near downtown Durham, NC, not far from Duke University.  While
tuning around the am dial one night, I came across a station broacasting an
apparently endlessly looped tape giving directions on how to get to the
Duke U. Medical Center.  I suppose it is to help drivers find their way off
the Interstate and to the hospital if they've never been there.  I believe
the frequency for this station is 1610 (I could get up and check it right
now but I'm too lazy).

About 5 to 8 miles from me is the Interstate exit to the Raleigh-Durham
airport.  As you approach the exit, you see signs telling you that you can
tune in an "airport information" station.  I may be wrong, but I believe
the frequency is also 1610 (could be 1620).  This would mean that this type
of station must be extremely low power, if they don't expect that these two
stations would interfere with one another.

Is there a term for this kind of "informational" station?  Are they
assigned call letters?  (I don't think I heard any given on the Duke Med
Center broadcast.)  What kind of technical set-up do such stations require?
 Surely they don't have to have a full-fledged studio, or monster antenna,
etc.   Lastly ... and this is what I'm most interested in ... does anyone
ever try to DX these things?  Would it even be possible?  (For instance,
could someone in Far North, Minnesota -- or even down the road in
Charlotte, NC -- ever be lucky enough to pick up the Duke Med
transmission?)

any other shortwave station?  Did the notoriety of the Oklahoma City

Hello,

I presume you refer to the transmissions of ABC (Queensland) Regional
Radio that used to be braodcast on 4920kHz - VLQ4.

The transmissions ceased some 12-18 months ago after commissioning of
a state-wide VHF-FM service that covers most of the (smaller) regional
centres of Queensland.  As far as I know, the only remaining HF
broadcast services maintained by the ABC here in Australia are in the
Northern Territory (callsigns - can't find the book!!) on 2310 2325
and 2485kHz from Alice Springs and Darwin (night-time) and 4835kHz
during daylight hours.  (Possibly also 4910??)  There may be more
specific information in WRTVH (which I don't have at the moment!!).

Hope this helps.  Alan.

Bethesda happens to be near most of the TV and FM stations
in Washington, DC.  They are located on Wisconsin, just
south of the DC line.  You can probably see the towers from
your window.  My guess is that the active antenna you are
using is overloading from the strong nearby transmitters.
It then generates broadband noise due to intermodulation
distortion.  Try an old vacuum tube radio and a wire out the
window.  If that doesn't fix the problem, you may be
suffering from interference from all of the TV sets, light
dimmers, and touch-on lamps in your building.  Good luck.

Expiramental beacon STLMO-1690 St Louis, MO was logged in Chicago on 12/2
& again on 12/3. It is very weak with a long series of cw. Power is 100mw
into a vertical antenna. Was my first medfer beacon.

Correct. But, the audio filter also includes a audio notch filter and that
is sometimes extremely needed.

The two CBC stations on 540kHz are CBK, Regina (Saskatchewan) with
50kW and CBT, Grand Falls, Newfoundland, with 10kW.

If you want to write to Deutsche Welle, their postal address is

It may be a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) station. I understand they
carry Deutche Welle programs.

November's issue of "DX Ontario" lists the following schedule for late
night CBC relays:

Time   Broadcaster
----  -----------------
0600  Radio France
0700  Radio Netherlands
0800  Radio Sweden
0830  BBC
0900  Deutsche Welle
1000  ABC (Australia)

I suspect this schedule is just for the Eastern time zone, and is
adjusted across the country, but don't quote me.

You'd send it to CBK, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, 50 kW...oh well,
CBC has started running DDW, R. Netherlands, RFI etc during the all

You might try assembling a stand/carrier that would allow tilting
the radio around an axis broadside to the radio. This adjustment
compensates for the arrival angle with respect to the horizon,
although I've rarely found that it does much. The NRC has
plans for building various kinds of phasing units that are primarily
intended for use with two longwires or beverages, but you
might be able to adapt it to work as a pest eliminator. Good luck.

  I'm wondering if anyone might have the schematic for a Radio Shack
DX-440 shortwave receiver.  Recently, a nearby lightening strike sent
a pulse down my telephone line and did serious damage to my modem and
motherboard.  Now I find that my DX-440 is acting a little strang
also.  The external antenna is wound around my house, under the gutter
and at one point is pretty close to the telephone line.  I suspect my
DX-440 got a bit of a jolt too.  The symptom is that the external
antenna, when plugged into the antenna jack doesn't give me any signal
but by attaching the antenna lead to various points on the circuit
board, I can get good reception.  I suspect a transistor between the
antenna jack and one of these "points of good reception" has been
fried.  Problem is that I need to look at a schematic to see what
parts lie between the antenna jack and the points where I can get
pretty good reception.  Thanks for you help.

Look at the modification and repair articles on 440s on
ftp.funet.fi/pub/dx
They tell you which FET got hit and what RS part to replace it with.
They also tell how to add diodes to keep it from happening again.

Unfortunately, here on the West Coast of North America, Radio New Zealand
International and Channel Africa from South Africa are on top of each other at
0500 UTC on 11900 kHz.  The last time i listened (21-11-95 or some such as
that) they both gave a pretty good signal, distinguiable from each other, but
not separate from each other.  Bother.

: Lester Ness   [e-mail]

I work for an NPR station.  I rather doubt that WRNO got this program via
NPR, but instead dealt with whoever produces the show. U.S. public radio is
one place  where many private producers of radio programs can get their
work on the air.  Several programs often heard on U.S. public radio stations,
such as "This Way Out" and "New Dimensions Radio," are carried on such SW
stations as Radio for Peace International, and I believe that these programs
aren't made by NPR itself, although many NPR and PRI stations carry them.
Since "Talk of the Nation" is produced by NPR's own news division, I
don't think you'll get to hear it on WRNO anytime soon.  Too bad--I agree
that it's a very informative show, and it seems to do well with those who
can hear it in Europe on the World Radio Network.

I don't think that the airing of "Latino U.S.A." necessarily signals a
loosening of the laws about U.S. private SW broadcasters only targeting
foreign audiences.  Considering that WRNO, as I recall, has the Caribbean
as one of its target areas, perhaps they think "Latino U.S.A." might appeal
to many in that region, although of course there's nothing to stop U.S.
listeners from hearing it.  At any rate, if the laws have been changed on
this, it's news to me! :-)

Mike, I see in Fred Osterman's book "Shortwave Receivers Past & Present"
that he rates the RF2900 as $100 used. This was in 1987, so make your
price adjustment accordingly...

The RF2900 is a nice "little" receiver. I first heard the Papua New
Guinea regional stations on a RF2900 in the early 1980s.

Thanks to Ralph Wirthlin for pointing out that the VOACAP.exe file is an
executable self-extracting archive, and contains the FORTRAN sources for
the IONCAP kernel as well as the DOS executables.

It is not an acronym. It is a 3-letter Q-code, established long ago by
telegraph operators to abbreviate longer sentences. An extensive list of
Q codes can be found in the ARRRL Radio Amateur's Handbook, any edition.
Other common Q-codes are:

QSB = Your signal is fading.
QRN = There is atmospheric noise interfering with your signal.
QSL = I confirm.
QRT = I am signing off.
QTH = My location is ____

Hope this helps.

Basically, an SW QSL is similar to a ham QSL in that the station will
(usually) send you a card verifying that you sent them correct signal
reception info. (Sometimes the station will send you a lot more than a
postcard-calendars, program schedules, pennants. I even heard one story of
a lucky DXer who got a bottle of fine European wine as a verification back
in the early 70s!) The problem is getting the verification info to the
country. Europe and much of Asia is no problem, but Africa and anything
from Mexico south is a real challenge! Sometimes mail from America has
been known to *disappear* in South America.

The "Q" series of shorthand designations was developed  to decrease the
number of letters sent via morse code necessary to  convey a phrase or
word.

In this case, the "Q" shorthand designator "QSL" means " verification of
this contact"  While amateur radio operators use this for verification of
their contacts, shortwave listeners do as well.  It simply means, "I
heard your station and I'd like you to confirm my reception"

Perhaps you are confusing the "Q" designator "QSO", which means a
conversation between two radio operators.  Of course,  contact between
any two radio operators can be called a "QSO" (CB, MARS, etc), so it's
not confined to the amateur ranks.

His program is good, but I have not had any sucess with the e-mail
address.  I have written to him five times now with no response.  He did
announce a few weeks ago that he had had a hard disk crash, so I resent
everything.  I was requesting plans he said he could send via e-mail, and
my original message was dated 09/29/95, so I have been try to reach him
since late in September.  Why does he post his address if he is just going
to ignore the messages sent to him?

Has anyone had any luck reaching Arnie Coro or Radio Havana (Habana?
Which is it?) via e-mail?

73,
Ben

'Havana' is English; 'Habana' is Spanish.  Like the difference between
Munich/Munchen; Antwerpen/Antwerp, etc.

I do get things now and then from Arnie Coro via e-mail, but he doesn't
reply to each message.  When he does reply, it is a long message.  I
assume he does the same thing with everyone:  when he replies, he takes
time doing it, which means he can't reply to everyone overnight.  This
seems to be the Radio Havana way, so you can only be patient and trust
that your message probably got through. BTW, as often as I have asked
RHC for a schedule by e-mail or by post, I haven't gotten one for maybe 5
years!

I just received a response from him this weekend.  ([e-mail]).

It was strange, though.  I asked him to confirm that I had the correct
address to Radio Progreso, but the only response was in the Subject line.
The text of the message was just a copy of what I'd sent him. (It was
received and read, though.)

Good luck.

Cannot?  or will not?  The usa postal service is perfectly within
its rights to send mail to *north* Korea but obviously chooses
not to do so.  They chose to delay mail to cuba some years ago
but I cannot comment on that situation at present.

I also had the experience of mailing to "North Korea" and soon being put on
a mailing list for SOUTH Korea! Next time, I put "Democratic People's Republic
of Korea (North Korea)" on the envelope; I didn't hear anything, but at least
didn't get any propoganda...

I never received a QSL from Radio Pyongyang,
although I tried many times. But I did receive a letter from an
individual who claimed to be a North Korean working in the P R of
China. He told me that the government of North Korea was evil and
would soon fall. He had no explanation about how he got my address so
I assume he was a member of the South Korea government who had
intercepted my mail. This is not good public relations for South
Korea.           73 Ed Lewis KE6KEP

The USPS rubber stamp on a letter addressed to "P.R. of China" stated (notn
exact quote) that the government of China "will not accept" mail without
the full/proper country name.  Whether this is a USPS scam or not, I dare
not say because it would be nothing more than idle speculation.  When
properly addressed, I've had no problems with the USPS sending my mail to
communist countries.

I've used one with my DX-390 almost since the unit came out. It seems to
work very well for me. Selectivity seems good.
Since I use it when travelling, it's kind of hard to actually compare it
to anything else (each place is unique). It's for sure better than the
whip the 390 comes with. Noise varies with location (very low in San
Diego, higher here in Phoenix).
All in all, I like it.

I bought mine at Radio Shack about two years ago - their

good performance.  It even causes my "el-cheapo" DAK MR-101

Athens Radio, whose transmitter is in Kavala, Greece, not too
far from the Greece/Bulgaria border.

The design is good ... a balanced pair of FETs feeding into a general purpose
2N2222 xstr for a bit more amplification. Gain is mathematically about 20dB
maximum.   Keep in mind, however, that this instrument is no-ways a substitute
for and honest length of longwire.  It is a stop-gap for those with NO room for
better. In this respect, it does a fine job.  Despite suggestions to the
contrary, you cannot effectively attach any longwire length to it for even
greater results ... which would be a nightmare in overload and birdies.

I have tried one modification to replace one one choke with a switchable outboard
bank of four others permitting coverage on down into LF.  The amplification
works, but there just .... ain't .... no .... substitute ... for ... real ... wire.

I use the RS amplified indoor antenna too and have had great results! I
live on the second story of a 3 story apartment and I don't even have any
problems with electical noise. The unit works best when you feed a
longwire antenna into the jack on the side. It typically boosts the
signal about 3 bars on my dx-440 and really pulls in the weaker
stations..

I have found the RS SW amp good as a preselector for my el cheapo digital
radio. It tunes sharply and is effective at eliminating images and nearby QRM.
A 10' length of wire helps in snaring signals and the variable gain is useful
for preventing overload from strong signals. For the money, it is a good way to
perk up a less sensitive/selective radio.

This is a discontinued model. There may be a few new units around; price
should be below $700US, as that's what they were selling for last I saw.

I have one of these. It's getting a little old, but still serves very
well. I've never noticed any intermod, and yours is the first mention I've
seem of this problem.
It has a non-standard input keypad, but a little time on it, and I never
notice it.
WHen I bought it, my choice was between this, and the Icom R-71. I chose
the Kenwood because of what was (to me, anyway) better ergonomics, much
better sound quality from the speaker (I now use an outboard speaker from
Radio Shack), and what seemed, to me, to be a better "feel", which is very
hard to describe. I've been very happy with it in the two plus years I've
had it.

I've looked at and tried all of the ones you listed except for the over
$2,000 category. I like the R8 and the R71A the best. The R71A is
superb. It has a classy feel, excellent audio, sensitivity, filters
etc. The R72 is newer but doesn't work as well. It has a "cheap" feel
to it, and trying the two side-by-side at EEB's showroom, I found the
R71A they had to be a lot better. Back last year they sold NEW for about
$750.00 for either one, but I think the prices have skyrocketed since
then! EEB had put their special filters in the floor model R71A.
Now I see guys trying to sell these ICOM radios used for more than the
old list prices, so I guess they go up in value with age unlike any
other receiver!

The horizontal repetition rate of a TV setis very close to 15.75 kHz, with
lots of harmonic energy. I'd try first adding a high pass filter to the
offending TV set's antenna connection, and adding a common mode filter to
the set's AC line by wrapping it through a toroid ferrite.

Radio amateurs sometimes make very interesting contacts via the Russian
RS 12/13 satellite.  It has uplink and downlinks in the HF bands,
and sometimes its downlink bounces off of the earth, part bounces off of
the ionosphere, and back down to the receiver so that stations beyond
its field of view can still have contacts.

        They do that on a semi-regular basis.  Check out the SAREX
stuff they've done.  I think they even managed to perform a DX with
MIR while in orbit.

Actually the SAREX and MIR radios are on 145 MHz, much higher than the
14 MHz broadcasts discussed above.  At these "VHF" frequencies, the
ionosphere provides little blocking.

I have communicated with other amateurs via the Amsat Oscar 13 satellite a
few times when it is 30,000 km from my station (It is in a Molniya
high-eliptical orbit).  It has uplinks on 440 MHz and downlinks on 144 MHz
(among other frequencies).  We can get single sideband voice through with
about 13 dBc gain antennas and a GAsFET preamp on the downlink and 15 dBc
gain antennas on the uplink to work it at that distance with 50 watts.

There are a few massive amateur radio stations which have done
"moonbounce," received radio receptions bounced off of the moon.
To do this requires about a kilowatt of uplink and very, very large
receive antennas.  To date I think only morse code has worked, no copyable
voice.

One package is "SoftWAVE" but I am not sure they are still on the market.
 There is a write-up on them on pp. 136-137 of 1995 Passport to World
Band Radio.  (I tried the evaluation disk software, and did not get too
excited.)
A second package is available from Systems and Software International -
they have an ad on page 47 of the 1996 Passport.

Anyone help? Also would like any other info on it. It seems like a good

There is a system on this newsgroup that bounces back EVERY message
that is entered and tells you that it was "undeliverable" to some
oddball address that you never used. It happens daily here.
I have tried messaging the postmaster at the offending system, and
hopefully he will find the problem and correct it.

If anyone knows this, or has a reference, please post it
here.

In a side-by-side comparison my 2010 has about 20% of the
signal strength of an identical unit. I suspect I'm a
victim of the FET problem.

Is this an easy repair? How much does Sony charge to do it?

Do it yourself. Use a MPF-102 (even Radio Shack, or a REAL electronics
store) to replace your dud 2SK152 if you can't get hold of the original
type.
You can test your existing FET with a voltmeter. You should expect to
get:-
        G       0v
        D       2.9v
        S       0.2v

An open transistor will have the Drain at 4.5v. A leaky one will be
considerably lower than 2.9v

When it is done, protect the external antenna input with four 1N914 or
1N4148 diodes arranged in two back-to-back series pairs ( two diodes in
series, back-to-back with two diodes in series)

Much cheaper than the postage, let alone the price Sony charges :-)

I recently purchased a Sony 7600G and have been very impressed with its
performance. It compares quite well with my Sony 2010, matching it on some
fairly weak signals.  Also, the Sony can be repaired in the US, I've heard
that the Grundig needs to be shipped back to Germany.

Anyone had any luck receiving South African broadcasts on any other
frequencies other than 11900 (where Radio New Zealand is heard at the
same time)? I would be particularly interested if you have received the
local services (100 Kw transmissions) rather than Channel Africa (250 Kw
transmissions).

I'm using a Sony SW7600G and L dipole antenna in Atlanta.

No, that is a frequency used by cordless phones manufactured up to 8 or 10
years ago.  They operated almost anywhere between 1700 and 1780 kHz.  While
you can no longer buy them, they are obviously still in use.

Hi Everyone,

I recently moved here to Flagstaff AZ...from Missoulo MT...I used to do a lot   of SWL back in Missoula with a DX-390...which unfortunenatly was stolen in
in the mountains of N AZ...My question was if anyone had any experience SWLing
here in Flagstaff... I also went to Radio Shack and took a look at their new
DX-394...and it looks like a nice little radio...but a bit pricey...anyone
now of any reviews that have been done on the radio...maybe in POP COM or
monitoring times magazine?  I saw it in PWBR '96  But it did not say much.

Well mayb after the price comes down i'll spring for it...but the Sony 2010
right now looks like the best priced radio for the performance you get...saw it for $350 at HRO down in Phoenix...anyway if anyone has any suggestions pas


Thanx!

Greetings!

I have a Sony 600G portable which I purchased new three months ago. It
is in excellent condition and comes complete with all original
accessories. I would like to swap this receiver for either a Grundig
Yacht Boy 400 or Satellit 500 in similar condition.

My radio is in mint condition; I just miss the superior audio found in
the Grundig line.

Thanks!

Are there any TV DXers out there? I used to be very active 12-15 years ago
but sort of lost touch. How have low power stations, cable, and the fact
that almost every station stays on all night affected TV DX? I was at my
brother's house during a weak tropo opening this summer and UHF was
clogged with low power and "normal" stations (in western NJ).

Are there still TV DXers out there making 1000+ mile tropo catches, or has
everyone lost interest because of too many local stations staying on all
night?

Haven't done it in quite a while due to apartment living. Used to frequently get
>1000 miles during morning openings (ducting?), especially as a front would
come through (inversion layers acting as waveguides?). Since we are in the
nadir of the solar cycle there probably won't be many E- (or F-) layer openings
for a few years.

I used to do some TV DX'ing, but to really enjoy it you need an outdoor
rotatable antenna, which I don't have right now. Also, most of the good
DX is during the summer, when I have many other activities going on. In
the Twin Cities we have locals on channels 2, 4 and 5, so E-skip is
usually limited to channels 3 and 6. The VHF bands are pretty full, but
I'm sure people are still making good catches on UHF, where there aren't
so many stations on each channel. With a rotatable antenna, it's easy to
separate two stations on the same channel. Also, a sizable number of the
UHF stations (at least here in the Midwest) are PBS stations, which
normally don't operate 24 hours a day.

If you want to find other TV DX'ers, you should look up the Worldwide
TV/FM DX Association, located in Buffalo, NY (I think their address is in
the AM/FM FAQ for this group). I used to be a member. They publish a
monthly bulletin, "VHF/UHF Digest", that features reception logs from FM
and TV DXers across the USA. Have fun!

Channel 13.  The aerostat(s) are located on Cudjoe Key, about 15 miles
northeast of Key West Florida.  TV Marti is on the air from 0830UTC -

TV Matri' is a big waste of the taxpayer's dollars. You can't
even see it in Havana! The xmitter is located off Key West at an
air field. You can see the blimps from the highway. TV and Radio
Marti' are two of the biggest political white elepahnts going.
Who cares if they work or not? Just as long as Jorge Mas Canosa
and his right-wing thugs are happy. People on the island listen
to the VOA and can see American TV when they want to find out
what's going on.

The Transmitter is on Channel 13. It is in Marthon Key, Florida
directional to Habana. On most tropo openings in the Gulf, it is
over-ridden by WTVT channel 13 (fox) in Tampa, now on an all night sked.
TV Marti is on late night to early moning eastern local time.

My records show that 3413, 5640, 8957 are Volmet
and 4722 & 11200 are RAF Volmet.
Are these correct, I've a feeling that the RAF freqs
may have changed?

     Using the WWW to access the FCC HF Winter 95 database,
       http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/WWW/HF_broadcasting/hf.html,
I found this info:

 5015 0300 0400 34    VLD  100 ND    0  25 1234567 240995 310396 D   RUS   109

    Understand ;->  I do not completely. But it does SEEM to indicate the
Voice of Russia (former Radio Moscow) info. The Web page indicates what
is included, but I find it a bit difficult to put together.


    BTW, those who find that database file (about 700,000 typed characters)
too big, I use that old, un-fancy, (crude?), web browser "lynx" to be
excellent for this purpose. Since "lynx" is a text only browser that runs
on the internet provider's machine (not your PC), the file transfer between
the FCC.GOV site and the provider is super fast. The 24 row by 80 column
text is viewed within seconds. Using the lynx string search you can locate
text quickly. You can even, if allowed by the net provider, save the file
on the providers machine (given you know how to read it when you want to).
Internet "basic" or "shell account" providers will probably have "lynx"
available, ask them (AOL and Compuserve would probably not!).

Well, if you go by NASWA country counting rules, you might want QSLs for KNLS
and KWHR, since Alaska and Hawaii are counted as separate radio countries.
Too, there are religious stations in such U.S. territories as Guam and the
Northern Mariana Islands, and that'll get you a couple of more radio
countries, especially at this time of year when it's easiest for us to hear
them in North America. Besides, getting QSLs for religious stations can
qualify you for an  Ecclesiastic DXer award from NASWA, and I think they
also offer an award for hearing a certain number of North  American
stations.  People go after QSLs for many  reasons, so depending
on why you want QSLs, I wouldn't automatically write off any class of
station.

As for VOA and MRI, they're certainly "worth it" from the standpoint of
getting radio countries, since VOA has transmitter sites in a lot of
countries and MRI's KHBI site in the Northern Marianas counts as a radio
country.  With VOA, I've racked up the U.S., Botswana, Thailand, the
Philippines, Greece, West Germany (still counted by NASWA as a separate
radio country), Sri Lanka, Morocco, Tangier (an old VOA site counted as a
separate radio country for reasons too detailed to explain here), and
Ascension Island.  VOA's site in Sao Tome is testing, too, so that's
"another country heard from," as the phrase goes.

Happy hunting!

Has anybody ever seen any older HF WJ receivers on ther surplus market?

I don't mean the HF-1000, but the ones that typically cost $25K and have
been purchased by the Government in the thousands over the last 25 years.

Seems that with peace breaking out, huge defense cutbacks, downsizings,
and closings that some of these might have made their way on the surplus
market.

Anybody know?

Oh yes Keith, and of course you have heard about all of those nuclear

Americans to comply with their commands or be bombed. The demands are:

1) Buy a SW receiver that is tunable ONLY to WWCR, and ONLY to

Sure they have (or should have) the right to free speech. But you
have to admit - the rapid increase in religious broadcasters on the
airwaves has all the makings of a giant propaganda machine...

How about a good wholesome atheist station :-)

I'd like to see lots of minor stations appearing that broadcast on
specialist interests other than religion eg a health station dealing
in exercise and health promotion; an astronomy station dealing in
space and cosmological events/theories; a science station talking
about the latest developments in various areas - you get the idea.

Not to mention calling constant denigrating of people of color,
Jews and others who do not fit in to their white boy world. Of
course I'm still waiting to get their Mission Statement and a
list of their target countries. I'd like to know who in Latin

Mission statements are most entertaining because the mission of most
corporations is to make money,  but it must be stated in a way to give
everybody a nice warm and fuzzy feeling inside.  It also the American
way to find as many loopholes that can be exploited to aid in making
money (yes Virgina,  there is an escape clause).

The thing that drew me to shortwave radio as a child was how it could
allow me to travel by armchair to far away places and to learn about
places outside my world.  But now, the hype for "World Band" radio
(which is a joke in and of itself with all of the U.S. operations
screaming for our attention) and U.S. operations like WWCR are turning
this medium into just another profit making venture.

The FCC has turned into the most powerless organization in the U.S.
government.  Case in point,  years ago broadcast engineers feared
inspections by the kilocycle cops.  These days I've heard engineers
test daytime only facilities before the experimental time period,  and
even daytimers who have left their carrier on all night with the STL
transmitter turned off causing receiver noise to go over the air.  Or
stations in subburban locations that ignore their own locale and market
themselves to the nearby large city.  Usually the penalties are just a
slap on the wrist.

Moral: The pen may be mightier than the sword,  but the dollar is
mightier than anything.

Rich,
    It's much less messy to preach from a distance than it is to
actually come in contact with someone who's hungry. It also makes it
easier to pocket the money you receive to build that fancy new house,
air condition your pet's doghouse or buy that spiffy Mercedes you
wouldn't dare drive through the ghetto where the hungry folks might be.

Ron,
I couldn't agree with you more. I'm sick and tired of all these
right-wing jerks and panhandling broadcasters on what once was
the best thing going. I'll never get WWCR's Mission Statement nor
will I get their target country list. And even though their
breaking the law Title 47 of the Fed Code the likes of Johnny
Donavan and others will try and hide behind the issue of free
speech. It's very sad.

From
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/www/HF_broadcasting/hf.html:

"High Frequency Broadcasting (HF) also known as Shortwave Broadcasting
is a radio service licensed by the FCC to operate between 5,950 kHZ and
26,100 kHz.  This is an international broadcast service where
transmissions are intended to be received by the general public in
foreign countries".

I've got it!  Since 3315 is outside the US international shortwave
broadcast bands,  W(orld) W(ide) C(ommercial) R(adio) is not considered
an international broadcast station on this frequency, and therefore is
not required to abide by these rules. :-)

First the FCC has been on Pacifica's case before for content and
second it's not about free speech it's about the proper use of
the shortwave bands and what you tell the FCC you're going to do

The issue wasn't necessarily the content. The question was whether or
not it's legal for a US shortwave station to target audiences in the
US. Somehow I doubt that listeners in Pago Pago care one bit about some
paranoid militia group in Utah. Since the 800 number probably doesn't
work in Pago Pago I get suspicious when they claim an "International"
focus.

It would be far more honest if they petitioned to change the law to
allow domestic-targeted shortwave. I can see no reason not to allow it.
Shortwave is hardly competition to other broadcast services even though
they claim astronomical listening levels.

Given that WWCR is among DOZENS of different stations from
a diversity of nations (e.g. Israel) that broadcast outside the
conventional "bands" - I think of Israel on 11 MHz, WEWN on 11
or 12 MHz as two examples that quickly come to mind. There are MANY

I cannot think of a single major international broadcaster
using the 90 meter tropical broadcast band except WWCR. I
also do not believe this frequency is particularly good for
propagation to distant targets compared to frequencies at 6
MHz and above.  I must conclude their target audience is
domestic which violates the spirit if not the letter of the
FCC regulations and the ITU allocations.

   I am a Canadian and a frequent listener to WWCR on all its frequencies.
   As Ontario is not yet a State of the USA you better come up with
  another argument to justify your desire for censorship.

Jay, here's WWCR's target CIRAF zones taken from the FCC database at
http://www.fcc.gov/

Target Zones:  4,9,11,18,27-29,35,37-39,46-48,52,53,and 57

     I bought a Drake R8 a while back, in order to dx the tropical band,
since my DX-440 was not adequate. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard
WWCR on 3315. Just what we need in this part of the shortwave spectrum: a
domestic religious broadcaster with a signal that bleeds over onto adjacent
channels.
        The tropical bands *used* to be perfect for dxing, being free of
domestic (USA) broadcasters. Now that WWCR has set a precedent by
broadcasting down there, how many more of these stations are going to
follow? Are we ever going to get any US shortwave stations that aren't
religious? Anyone out there remember KUSW in Utah? It used to be one of
my favorite SW stations, until it was taken over by a religious
broadcaster. WWCR has gone too far this time! It was hard enough trying
to log Sierra Leone(which I never did) before WWCR came along. Now, it
appears it will be impossible. :(

I copied a station from about 1900-1930 hrs under KXEL. The station
was in chinese or similar language. I never got an ID. I was able to
null out KXEL and get a good copy  with some fading.
any MW DX'ers have an idea what the station was?

Hi Tim:

One of three possiblities:

1) KISA in Honolulu, HI listed as Filipino language.
2) WNWR in Bala Cynwyd, PA listed as Ethnic, gives slogans as "New
   World Radio" in EE.
3) CHIN in Toronto, ON also listed as Ethnic format, slogans as "Chin".

Another possibility could be ZNS-1 in the Bahamas, which is widely
reported in the Eastern US. I'm not sure of the format on that one.
73s, Chris

What you heard was CHIN in Toronto, ON, Canada witht their ethnic
programming. I recently picked them up again after a number of years...

I've heard this several times, and finally last night I copied the id.
It is in fact CHIN in Toronto.

The 51j4 is a real arm-breaker if you want to switch bands any distance,
a hefty half turn of a big knob per MHz if I remember right.

It was a fine receiver, no question.  About the same as a 75a3 but
general coverage instead of ham band.

    In my fathers effects I found a   Sony ICF 2001 reciever. it has a

wattage. should I be concern with those variations, I hear too little
power can damage the unit.

I realize that the question in my post is not related to antennas, but
I noticed the reference to DX-440, and thought I would try to resolve
a problem I am having with someone that I know owns one.

My DX-440 has acquired this rather nasty habit of
buzzing...LOUDLY...while I am listening, thereby rendering any
programs inaudible.  I turn it off, turn it back on, and within 10 to
15 minutes the BUZZING occurs again.

Have you ever had a problem like this with your DX-400?

Thank you in advance for any help you can lend.

Regards,
Cathy Zylka

Phono jacks/plugs, also known as RCA connectors, are what you find on
the back of most AM/FM stereo receivers and VCRs. They are coaxial, and
use the outer ring of the plug as a friction catch.

Phone jacks/plugs come in a variety of sizes, 1/4" (standard) for headphones,
1/8" (mini) for audio line outs, and 3/32" (micro or sub-mini) often used as an
on/off control integrated with the microphone on portable tape decks. The
friction catch resides on the jack inside the equipment.

I suspect that the DX440 is using a 1/8" phone jack as the antenna input. Sony
uses the same for many of their portables (ICF 2010).

Just wanted to make sure that no one confused phone and phono. I've asked
for the wrong thing before. Don't know why the terminology was chosen this
way, it should have been obvious that confusion would result.

I have a Sangean ATS-803A which is the model the DX440 is derived
from. It uses a Phono jack for the antenna.

However there are minor differences between the two radios. My one
has a DIN connector for connecting to a tape recorder.

Wrong! My DX-440 takes an RCA phono jack. That's the only jack that fits
there properly. Quoting the Radio Shack DX-440 Owner's Manual:

"To ensure the best reception, always connect a ground wire to the
external antenna jack. Connect the single wire lead-in to the center
terminal of the RCA plug..."

Hope this solves the "mystery" once and for all.

The MJF pre-selector is what you need (not a tuner). If, after putting up
your random wire antenna, you now receive stations "all over the place"
on the dial, your receivers are most likely getting overloaded by strong
signals (not enough dynamic range)

A pre-selector will reduce the strength of off freq stations, while
freely passing those stations you are really tuned to. You will have to
tune both the radio, and the pre-selector, but it is worth it.

A knife switch to disconnect the antenna and shunt it to ground will work
just fine. Some pre-selectors have this feature built in. Radio Shack has
a suitable knife switch.

I have an old radio shack dx-200 and I am currently using an FM antenna
(the cheap kind that comes with an FM tuner).  Suprisingly, I can pick up
quite a few channels.  I have gotten one of those 40 ft., straght wire
antennas and I was wondering:
                1. Is there an optimal direction to run a wire antenna
                        (ie. north to south?)
                2. Will I be able to pick up more stations?
                3. Currently, I have to adjust the tuner quite often
                        to keep the station from drifting--Will that
                        be less of a problem with the wire antenna?
                4. Is it best to have the antenna as far from my incoming
                        electric lines and is parallel to the house OK,
                        or is it better to have it perpindicular?
                        I was thinking about putting it up on the west
                        side of my house (that would block eastern
                        exposure).

If you can answer any of my question please write to me at

I have had better luck hearing RNZI in summer than in winter.  However,
last night (06:30 UTC, 1:30 AM EST) they were coming in nicely on
11900.  I was just using a Grundig YB-400 by a window, with five feet of
wire clipped to the antenna.  Location is 10 miles north of Boston.

11900 starts at 05:00 UTC (midnight EST), but I wasn't listening then.

As it happens, I was.  In the Boston area, 11900 usually starts at
05:00 with Channel Africa.  I say *usually* because depending upon
progagation conditions, sometimes Radio New Zealand is more dominent
at that hour. Last night, Channel Africa was giving off a clear signal
until about 05:30. Thereafter, both stations could be heard on the same
frequency. Radio New Zealand often isn't in the clear until Channel
Africa signs off at 06:00.

This isn't a flame, but is merely informational for newer SWLs.  There is
a reason for the phenomena you mention, and it really isn't RNZI's fault.
I just want to say that part of this may be due to seasonal changes, since
higher frequencies tend to propagate better in the spring and summer.
Now that it's winter up here, 15115 at night is going to be weak for a while.

As for the programming not being "quite as good for the time slot," keep in
mind that the target area for Radio New Zealand International is the Asia/
Pacific region, and the programming is probably at a good time for those
living in the target area.  Granted, we're often lucky enough in North
America to hear New Zealand, Australia and other Pacific stations due to
the workings of radio propagation, but they're trying to reach their own
area, and that is why you may, say, hear children's shows from New Zealand
in the middle of the North American night! :-)

Hope this helps explain this!

I sent reports to Tahiti in August 1994, and Solomon Islands in December
1993.  No reply yet.  I sent 4 IRCs with each, along with local postcards.
 The Tahiti report was in French, the SI report English.

I have received QSLs from both stations.  In both cases, I sent taped
reports with IRCs, and got responses within a reasonable length of time.
Also, in the case of Tahiti, we at Passport have been told that the chief
engineer has teenage sons who are interested in U.S. radio, sports and other
things American, so adding the personal touch with such things as radio
station or sports team stickers from your area may help.  If you're
outside the U.S., perhaps similar items from your area might help.  Good
luck!

Here in Seattle, all R Australia outlets are pretty faint at those times,
but 15365 is sometimes listenable 0200-0300 (this frequency is excellent
during our summer), 17795 and 13605 are sometimes listenable 0300 - 0500,
and 15365, 13605, 11880 are audible 0600-0730.  The next transmissions
I've heard are not until 1300 UTC.  Those morning (our time) transmissions
are very listenable.

I've got a JRC NRD-535 receiver with a 75-foot random wire antenna.

Best wishes.

I was going to run a random wire around the wall near the ceiling, and
ground my radio to the baseboard hot-water heating pipe.  But before
I did, on a whim I tried connecting the heater pipe to the antenna input.
The results weren't all that bad!  I'm wondering why this works, since
the pipe is presumably grounded, sooner or later.  Is it too far away
from ground to act as a ground?  Will hooking to the pipe at different
points yield different results?  Am I safe from static if I want to use
this as a semi-permanent setup?  And finally, if I need to implement a
domestic mediumwave filter, what do I connect the other line into the
filter -- the one that would normally be ground -- to?

I received my radio today.  My initial impressions are that it is a
good performer on FM and Mediumwave.  Its shortwave is less than
stellar.  It has a telescoping antenna that is way too short for SW
and there is no jack or lug for attaching an external antenna.  When I
attached an external antenna using an alligator clip, the shortwave
seemed to be satisfactory for listening to the "big guns".  That is
only my initial observation, with little time given to it.  In the
next few days, I'll give it a much more thorough examination.  I'll
post my findings as soon as I have something to report.

The Yupitera can function as both, but is not very sensitive as SW radio.

>Yes, I am a neophyte. :)

How much money do you have?
These are best in their price range.

$$$$$ - JRC535  ($1600)   Yupitera 7100 ($600)
$$$$  - Drake R8 ($1000)  PRO-2006 ($350)
$$$   - Sony 2010 ($350)  PRO-43 ($300)
$$    - Sony 7600G ($200) PRO-39 ($200)
$     - DX-375  ($70)     PRO-34 ($80 used in pawn store)

I have a Sony 2010 bought used for $220.
I have a PRO-2006 bought at pawn store for $250.
I have a PRO-43 bought at pawn store for $175.

Pawn stores are good place, but takes a long time to spot radios there.

=================
When a neophyte asks this question, my answer is usually: "Buy the most
expensive one you can afford. It'll be the best you can get."
However, I guess I'm mellowing out in my old age. ;-)

You need to buy seperate SW & scanners to get good quality in each. The
handheld all-in-one units simply have too many compromises to be the best
in both worlds.

As for which one is best, there is no one answer to that. The reason there
are so many to choose from is because they all do things a little
differently. It's up to you to determine which one fits *your* needs. The
only way to do that is with experience.
That means, dive in! Get a scanner and/or a SW radio, and start listening.
See what you like.
In scanners, if you like the normal, public safety stuff, you'll need a
unit that receives 800 MHz, for the trunked systems. If you like business
band stuff, 800 MHz may not be that important in your area. Military
aircraft require something that receives that band (few do).
In shortwave, again, the choice will depend on your areas of interest.
Utility (civilian/military), MWDX, Tropical band, foreign Broadcast? Each
of these areas can color your choice.

Also, keep in mind that anyone who tells you, "Buy the Turbo-Channel 5000"
is telling you that because he likes the Turbo-Channel 5000, not because
it's the best one for you.

A little experience will make a lot of difference. It takes time, and we
can't give it to you (experience is what you get instead of what you
really wanted ;-))

What's a good beginner setup? As for SW, there are a lot of used portables
available. Sony, Sangean, Radio Shack (yeah, I know, but the later DX
series are Sangean models, and pretty good), Grundig are all good units,
as a rule.
In scanners, you'll see a lot here for sale. Steer away from the icom R-1
if you can (expensive, and too sensitive for its own good). Triple
conversion is better than double conversion, and more channels are better
than fewer.

Hope this helps a little.

I have yet to get a good answer to this question: why do scanners omit
certain frequencies?  I realize the legal impediments (like cellular), but
why make a scanner that will recieve _above_ the Military aircraft band,
and _below_ it, but block out the actual band?

You really want a Sony 2010. It's been around ten years and has truly
proven itself. Look for a used one to save some money. Good Luck to you..

I also have the DAK radio.  It has a lot of advantages and was
the cheapest direct access digital radio for SW in the US
until the Radio Shack DX-375 went on sale in October.  It has
a lot of advantages, as any digital radio does, for shortwave
over analog tuning.  The sensitivity of the set was not as good
as other comparably priced (analog) sets.  I found that DAK's
quality control was fairly poor.  This radio did not have
problems with entire bands pulling in only static as at least two
others I had gotten from them did (only the 49 meter band worked!)
However, even the direct tuning radio did not have out of band
coverage and it prevented me from getting some stations in which
I was interested.  So, I would say that it is acceptable if
you are mainly interested in the more powerful broadcasters, like
the BBC, Deutsche Welle, Radio Nederland, etc.  It is less so if
you want to use it for DX'ing.  As far as using it as a portable,
I seem to recall it ate batteries rather quickly, making it more
suitable for use when plugged in.  Of course, all this is probably
moot since I think I recall someone posting information to this
newsgroup a few months ago saying DAK was out of business.  (If
this isn't true, I hope someone will give us an update.)

Uh, err, excuse me, but exactly what are those advantages of digital
tuning over analog? Certainly you aren't referring to accuracy or
clarity. Maybe ease or automation?

I have used a DAK direct access radio (uses 4 aa batts) and I love it
for camping and traveling. It has sleep timer, 20 station presets, and
a battery light. Best $49 I have ever spent!

Well, if you have a properly aligned radio, digital-display tuning gives an
accurate idea of where you're tuned.  If clarity of signal is a problem,
I don't think the cause would be the digital display itself, but rather
some other part of your receiver.  If you have a radio with a digital
display and you're getting inaccurate tuning, I would think it needs
alignment; also, like any other product, some radios with digital
frequency display are of  better quality than others, so of course a
lemon might tune inaccurately.

Keep in mind that a lot of people give up shortwave when they get an
old-technology, inexpensive radio with analog tuning, and then have no
idea where to find the stations they want. Many of the old-tech, cheapo
portables that are still on the market are WAY off on the accuracy of
their tuning, although of course older high-quality hollow-state models
often had bandspread and other controls to allow for fairly accurate tuning.
Since such radios are only available on the secondary market today, a
receiver with digital display is probably easier for most people to find.

Expressing my own opinion, I always recommend getting a receiver of
decent quality with digital frequency display.  As someone who has had
experience with analog portables with cramped, inaccurate tuning and a
host of other problems, I say that it is worth a little extra money to
save oneself the aggravation of not knowing where one really is on the dial.
If the receiver is of decent quality, I don't see where accuracy of tuning
or clarity of sound should be badly affected by a properly-working digital
display in most cases.

Actually, no, the Casio PR-100 made in China and sold by J&M Music
World was the cheapest direct digital set sold in the US previously.
They sold for $39.00 - I bought one and gave it to my mother last year.
She uses it to listen to the BBC!

Fellow SWLs,

On Saturday and Sunday nights from 10 pm to 1 am (PST) San
Francisco's KGO @ 810 runs a talk show with Dr. Wattenberg.  He
boasts of having listeners from Alaska to Baja California and from
Hawaii to the Rockies.  His show turned me on the SW many years ago.

Who's the most distant listener?

The performance of these two is pretty close.The Drake's advantages
are superior audio,and all the filters are included.It has about the most
pitiful ergonomics in any recent radio made.The 525 is,like all JRC
radios,a pleasure to use.It's not perfect,the audio on AM is not great(use
one of those little Radio Shack speakers or headphones),the S meter is
spastic too.The tuning knob blows the drakes away.If you can play with them

The JRC 525 does not include synchronous detection as one of it's features.
Synchronous detection is something that everyone should consider when
someone is going to spend that kind of money.

I am considing a SPR4 to compliment my HQ180.  Different eras, etc.

Any comments from users on likes/dislikes?
What are going prices?
What accessories are worth looking for?
- does noise blanker really work?

I got some good info from people on the  Boatanchor news group, but I am a
SWL listener and not a ham, so I suspect this group would have different
opinions.

Thanks

In a previous article, [e-mail] (Joe Benik) says:

>The Drake SW8 or the Lowe 150, disregarding price, which one is a better
>overall radio?

Hi Joe!

I'll jump into the hornet's nest. The SW-8 is the hands-down choice, unless
you need longwave (the SW-8 doesn't go below 500 kHz.). I had a Lowe HF-150
for a couple of years. Then I had a chance to do a side-by-side comparison
with an SW-8. Sold the Lowe and bought the Drake. Why?

Performance:
        The HF-150 is less sensitive with an equal antenna. A weak but
        listenable station on the SW-8 becomes white noise or a weak het)
        on the HF-150. (comparison with 40' trap dipole antenna)

        The HF-150 has less flexibility in separating weak stations from
        strong ones. While the IF filters have good slopes, the 7 kHz one is
        usually too wide and the 2.5 kHz one is too narrow. The SW-8's choice
        of 2.3, 4.0, and 6.0 kHz filters works better. This observation was
        reinforced by my experiences at two subsequent DXpeditions.

        The SW-8 if much less susceptible to MW interference (Front End
        Selectivity) and strong signal overload (marginal dynamic range with
        a 200' + antenna). The HF-150's problem can probably be fixed with
        the Lowe Preselector for $350, but why bother?

        I don't know where the Lowe's reputation for audio quality comes from.
        I found my unit (and several I evaluated at various other sites) to
        be very hissy (internal circuit noise and lacking in bass response.
        The Drake by comparision suffers from a buzzy cabinet, but very well
        balanced sound which handles weak signal ID's as well as music
        programs on BBC.

        The theoretical advantage of Lowe's selective sideband synchronous
        detector is compromised by some instability in the local oscillators
        allowing some howl from the detector, even on fairly strong signals.

        The SW-8's synchronous detector, working in AM mode only, seems more
        stable, but there are also a lot of times when normal SSB operation
        workss better.

Features:
        To make the HF-150 complete as a package, you need at least the
        accessory kit for $90 (whip antenna, rechargeable batteries, carrying
        strap) and the keypad for another $90. The Drake uses non-rechargeable
        batteries, but has reasonable battery life (12-15 hrs. vs. 2-3 hrs.for
        the HF-150).

        The SW-8 has an effective S-meter, dial light, FM broadcast reception,
        a carrying handle which can elevate the front of the radio by a
        couple of inches, and 100 Hz display resolution (vs. 1 kHz for the
        HF-150).

Based on my experience, I believe that the SW-8 offers significantly more
usable features and somewhat better DX performance than the Lowe HF-150. If
the relative cost of equally equipped radios is taken into account, the
preference for the Drake increases even further.

Hope that helps your decision making process.

I disagree but its your money!

I think the Lowe offers you alot in a small package.  If you don't want
portability then buy a real tabletop used  such as a Drake R8 or a used
JRC or a used Kenwood 5000.  Otherwise consider this (I had the SW): the
power supply is an adapter that hums at levels audible in hadphones and at
low levels.  P

PS People love the LOWE products with a passion.

If there doesn't exist a FAQ or similar, how about creating one. I

This is a very good idea. I've been struggling with my Sony for a
long time and sure would like to see a FAQ over the Sony. How 'bout
this: what is the impedance of the external antenna connection? I think
it's far from 50 ohms.

There are one or more LA-area ham repeaters which have just

of that repeater doing all this, only one has been busted by FCC, to my knowledge . ..

Hello, everyone.  I have a date and time for the re-run of Sunday's "Ham
Radio and More."  As some of you may have found out, the live feed of this
show on 10 December at 2300 UTC was replaced by another program.  Len Winkler
tells me that, for those who didn't hear the refeed at 1000 UTC today,
they'll do it one more time on Saturday, 16 December at 1700 UTC on 12160
kHz.  Good luck to everyone who tries to hear it; I'd like to hear it myself!

I have two SRIIs and a III (two IIIs if you count the one I got for my
mom so she wouldn't steal mine).  I think that from a DX standpoint the
II is better,  better selectivity and sensitivity to really weak
signals.  I can also null stations with the II a lot better.  Of the
two SRIIs I have,  one is made in Malaysia, the other in China.  The
Malaysia radio was better out of the box,  but after a decent alignment
the Chinese radio seems just as good.

The SRIII has better audio,  and is really nice for general listening.
It is worth having.

Some of the early GE III had the speaker wire reversed! Simply
reversing them cured the "problem".

I wish I could help, but I'm only curious.  What kind of radio is it?
Console or portable? Tube or solid state? Frequency coverage?  You mention
trying "old radio" sites, so I assume it's an older type.  I know of someone
who has a few early console-sytle Grundig radios with wooden cabinets. If it
is of this type I will ask him about your radio.

The YB400 sells for $189-$199 at most of the big discount stores
(Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) and, as a salesman told me, they are
very hard to keep in stock.  I've seen used ones sell for $125-$165
at local amateur radio and scanner stores.  This is the way to go
if you can find one.

BTW, I saw an ad in an antique radio collector's magazine of someone
selling a nearly new Satellit 700 for $299.  Now that's a deal!

I have been DXing with a Sat.700. for several months now.  Its reception
characteristics for broadcast reception are outstanding.  The synch. and
filters are extremely good.  On a several occasions I've tapped into
middle eastern and far eastern sources on the 700 and then dialed up

http://www.chilton.com/scripts/radio/R8-receiver

to run a comparison.  On every comparison the 700 seemed to have  better
fidelity & lower noise.  Granted the comparison may not be direct since
the R8 is located in the D.C. area and uses a 20' vertical (all the RF
flying around DC would perhaps create a sea of harmonics) whereas I use a
100' longwire.  Also, I'm not sure of what computer interface does to the
Drake's  audio on the way to the phone line.   Still, the sensitivity and
the selectivity of the 700 is great.

I tried listening to this radio at 23:30 UTC, but got nothing on shortwave.
Not even the big boomers.  (I *could* hear the time tones on WWV at 5 and
10 MHz, but the voice was pretty well buried in the muck.)  I tried the
following:
 9590  BBC
 6175  BBC
18275U VOA
 7425  WEWN
These all come fine in Colorado on my Sony ICF-2010 with 15' longwire.

Just to be sure there was not something wrong with the radio, I tried
1200 kHz (medium wave station in Leesburg, VA).  It came in fine.

If you have access to the WEB, and a sound card you can down load this
broadcast using Real Audio.  You download the Real Audio program from
the Real Audio site and then you can listen to the daily half hour for
ERN via the World Radio Networks web sit.  The broadcast is 29+ minutes
and using a 28.8 modem takes about 15 minutes to download or can be
listened to 'live.

Yes, I heard the broadcasts in central California.  I recorded the
1000 UTC program on 5065 (not 5605) on 12/5, and listened to the
1930 UTC on 12160 yesterday (12/9).  The Saturday program had an
additional 30 minute sports program.
According to the WWCR announcement, the weekend programs are at 1100
and 1930 instead of 1000 and 1900.  The weekend programs are 1 hour
instead of 30 minutes.  Also, I have not heard them on Sunday yet.

According to a report on soc.culture.irish Radio Telifis Eirean (Irish
Radio & Television) is now broadcasting on shortwave.

Has anyone heard it particularly in California?  The times and
frequencies supposedly are: 19:30 UTC 12.160 MHz and 10:00 UTC at 5.605
MHz.  It is the 6:30 news being broadcast according to a printed report
put on the internet.

If anyone hears it, expatriot Irish would be very interested, but may
not watch this group so a cross-post to soc.culture.irish would help them.

I don't know about the shortwave broadcasts, but the  6:30 evening
news is available via Real Audio.
Look at      http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jblythe/short-wave.html     Which
has links to MANY shortwave broadcasters.  Under Ireland RTE is info
on the 6:30 evening news, and the Real Audio Link to that data.

Heard here (near Seattle) NHK-Shobukuk on 3607.5 USB, NHK-Nagoya 3970 USB,
and NHK-Ebetsu on 6005 AM 0850-0920 UTC today.  Each carried separate
programming (mostly talk) to 0900 time pips, simulcast NHK news in
Japanese.  Signals best on Nagoya, but all fair and readable.

Heard unknown middle-eastern station on 11725 from 2305 (9 Dec) to 0010
(10 dec) utc.  Continuous middle-eastern music from 2305 to 0000 except
for brief announcements -- enough to hear "Huna. . ." but I can't make out
rest.  Time pips, news at 0000.  Anyone know what station this is?

Heath is still around,  the last catalog I saw about a year ago had
things like home automation stuff,  electronics courses,  and a
stripped down version of the old "Most Accurate Clock",  except that it
only has a 10 MHz receiver.  They still have some replacement parts and
manuals,  but the stock is getting thinner.

Jay,

I think Zenith bought Heathkit about a decade ago. A few years
ago I heard that the Heathkit operation was being shutdown. Sounds
like another case of an absolutely clueless marketing department.

Heath went under. They still sell a few educational items, but no kits.
They probably still sell parts and maybe offer some technical
assistance.

In my experience (little as it is), any antenna that works is a good one.
And what works? Well, there are proven designs that will work for almost
anyone. There are unproven designs (like yours) that sometimes work
despite all the theory we know.
If yours works, it's a great antenna. If not, try again. Some people get
good results from clipping a wire to the finger stop on an old rotary dial
phone.
If the fire escape is not well grounded, this might work well. Of course,
in damp weather, static build-up could be a problem.
Let us know how it works, OK?
Bill

Actually once somebody told me that the fire escape would mess things
up-and the landlord worried that somebody would trip over the wire-I
decided to loop the wire around my window frame (the frame is wood). I
tried this last night for the first time and recieved 4 or 5 stations on
31 meters, but 25 meters and the tropical bands appeared to be dead for
some reason. (BTW, does HCJB give online verifications? I recieved them at
9745 around 0515 UTC with a DXing program.) So far, it seems to work. I
will try again during the rainstorm due to come in tonight.

The earlier [quite a few years back] units used this, but it has a
parallel bus-like output to the rest of the world.  Newer R71A's have a box
that converts to the same 2-wire CI-V [?] interface as the R7000 etc.
Your manual will tell you which is needed.

Subject: IMMINENT SHUTDOWN OF RADIO CANADA INTERNATIONAL



Whether Radio Canada International will continue to exist will be decided in
the next few hours. The decision can only be finalized by the Canadian Prime
Minister and the fedeal cabinet, and comes, ironically enough, as RCI
celebrates its 50th anniversary of service.

The collation to Restore Full RCI Funding, with the support of  the Canadian
International DX Club and the unions representing RCI employees today called
on the government to stop any attempt to shut the service down, and to
assure a separate, protected annual budget to guarantee the service's existence.

This urgent appeal to the government comes days after the CBC Board of
Directors decided to shut the international service down, and CBC human
resources was poised to send termination letters to all RCI employees.
Although halted temporarily, it appears the termination letters will in fact
be sent this week, and the service closed down, unless the government steps in.

Around the world 126 countries broadcast internationally, yet Canada with
this decision would turn its back on the world and become the only G7 member
not to have an international radio service.

For this reason, and for the standing and economic benefit of Canada, the
colation calls on the Prime Minister and the federal cabinet to assure an
annual budget of at least 16 millions dollars, guaranteed and protected from
sudden cuts.

You can also send E-mail supporting RCI at the following persons:

From the 17:00 EST CBC radio news:

URL: http://www.radio.cbc.ca/radio/programs/news/headline-news/hourly.Tue-12-Dec-1995.17:00.html

Canada's voice overseas came one step closer to being silenced
today. The federal cabinet has decided that funding for Radio Canada
International will end at the end of march.  Barring any reversal of
that decision betwen now and the next federal budget, Canadian troops
stationed abroad, and Canadians living overseas, and other people
interested in Canada will have no radio link to this country.
Employees were informed this afternoon. David McLauchlin reports.

Last week the president of CBC Perrin Beatty signalled that the
corporation would no longer be able to afford paying for half the cost
of Radio Canada International.  The other half is paid by Canada's
Department of Foreign Affairs.  As he emerged from today's cabinet
meeting, the Minister Andre Ouelette said radio's becoming less
necessary to distribute information abroad. There's the Internet, and
tv...and his department just doesnt have the money to pay for its half
of Radio Canada International.

"There is a variety of ways to promote....television to a grater
extent than radio. " [Ouelette]

Ouelette's cabinet colleague Heritage Minister Michel dupuis said the
decision isn't final, because the mandate of the CBC might be found to
include funding of RCI, when a study of the corporation's mandate is
completed mid-January.  Nonsense, says Ian Morrison. he speaks for
Friends of Broadcasting.  He reminds Minister Dupuis that broadcasting
Canadian programs overseas isn't part of the CBC mandate.  He says
Radio Canada International is dying because of a squabble between 2
departments.  That it's clearly the responsibility of Foreign Affairs.

"The Foreign Affairs ministry may be resisting that but ultimately if
they do not cough up the money it will be shooting itself in the
foot." [Dupuis]

RCI broadcasts in 7 languages in shortwave around the world. Voytek
Gwiazda is an announcer producer for RCI.  He listened to the
announcement of the closing of RCI today, and said the decision's
preposterous.

"Sure we want to save our jobs, but i mean if were canadians we want
to have a voice to the world. no one else is talking about canada rci
is the only one thats doing it." [Gwiazda]

Radio Canada international is one of the least expensive broadcasters
of the 126 countries that have shortwave service.

It has an estimated 10 million weekly listeners worldwide.

Ref: R5000 chips...

The chips you need can be acquired from an electronics
parts house, usually...the chip part numbers are:

(1) 8251A and (1) 4040 chip...

As Tony mentioned, there is a Kenwood interface called
the IC-232...on one side it has the cable and plug for
the Kenwood side...then there is a box called the level
translator...out of that is the cable for the PC side. These
are two entirely different plugs!

There is a company that has been involved with a MS
Windows program to control Kenwood receivers and
transceivers...it is called Kentrol...it is very thorough
and has been around for awhile and is now in its
version 5.2...

Check some of the Amateur radio www addresses...
that will lead you to the address of the Kentrol software.
You can download it and try it...with some features
limited until you purchase. I have also found a number
of packages for the R5000.

Leonard...

P.S. Ref the www addresses..start with this location:

Hi!
Thanks for the chip numbers. I ALREADY know about the interface, since I

This device works *best* on poorer performing radios. I doubt that either
the R8a or the GE SR III would benifit much from it.

As a matter of fact,  the GE Superadios make a pretty good external
antenna for poorer performing radios!  I sometimes place my Sony AM
Stereo Walkman next to the SR,  and I can listen to stations that
otherwise aren't audible.

There is currently a 1700 Israel time (1500 GMT) domestic English
broadcast which is on the 'net about an hour or two later.

(http://www.artificia.com, http://www.vocaltec.com for info)

This is usually about 10 minutes; sometimes it seems to be cut off.

I wonder if this is the same transmission and how long it will be on
Internet Wave.

If you are still getting the noice using batteries, then the noise is not
just entering through the AC power supply - it is being radiated.  So,
power line filter won't help, although it is good to have an ISOBAR or
some type of power line filter / surge suppressor to protect your
equipment.
An outdoor antenna with shielded (coax) feedline would make the greatest
difference.  Also, you can use a digital filter to suppress all kinds of
annoying noise.

Hello Everybody

Can someone out there help me.

Recently a  list of DX programs was posted here,  some four or five
days ago.    Before I could print this  it disappeared from the
headers list.

I have used this list in the past and it has made listening for DX
programs much more reliable for me and I can heartily  recommend it.

If possible could the original poster either post to the group again
or e-mail me directly.

Should all else fail would some kind person who did save the list
e-mail it to me.

I would be eternally grateful to you whoever you are.

Regards from the beautiful banks of the Mersey overlooking the Beatle

Hello, everyone.

As many of you know, I was under the impression, based on information I'd
received, that my interview on "Ham Radio and More" was supposed to be aired
live via WWCR today (Sunday, 10 December) at 2300 UTC on 5065.  Instead,
there was another program, which I found out after I finished the interview.
I am sorry if anyone tried to hear this and was disappointed.  I have asked
Len Winkler by e-mail when the program will be re-aired on WWCR on tape,
and when I find out the details, I'll pass them along.  Again, my apologies
for any inconvenience.

Get a shortwave receiver with single-side-band capability. Shorter range
frequencies (VHF) are better received with a scanner.

You Pays Your Money, and You Takes You Chances!

Among ham radio operaters, a common name for MFJ is Mighty Fine Junk.
When it works, it works reasonably well, but when it dosen't work it is
trash. They seem to have a quality control problem. Most of the stuff is
good (not great, but good) If you get a lemon you can always send it back.

I missed the original post, but if you are refering to the MFJ
*pre-selector* (not really a tuner) I would definately give it a try. I
have the (now discontinued) Grove Mini Tuner-3 which is identical in
operation. I found that a pre-selector works wonders with a portable
shortwave receiver (with limited dynaic range). Even though now I have a
table top receiver, I will not sell my Mini-Tuner-3!

Pete,

I own a Bose Wave Radio and the DX comes in fairly well for me. FM DX is
phenomenal with an amplified antenna. [RS 15-1833] The AM reception is pretty
good as well. Not as good as my DX 440 and a Select-a-Tenna, but almost.

Maybe you got a bad set?

Hi Kevin,
I like this radio VERY much, but I use other radios for my BCB DXing. The
the way the digital is set up you can't get splits.  The FM DX, even with
its line cord antenna continues to surprise me.  With an outside antenna
it really does the job.

Also, loop antennas are generally directional in two directions say 0 and 180
degrees.  They tend have nulls (zero out)at angles 270 and 90 degrees.  In other
words if you and the desired station and the interfering station are in a line
there will be no "zero out" effect.  But if the interfering station was at right
angles to you and the desired station, then you would have a good cancelling effect
(zero out).

The above is true for the ground waves from the transmitter.  I believe if you are
receiving the stations from rf skipping off the ionosphere then there might be
no cancelling/directional effect.

I have the radio mounted inside the loop, and the loop
mounted on a tripod, so have every possible angle covered.

This is a great improvement over a single plane.

However, I find I still can't exactly null a signal, and
am sort of mathematically puzzled by it.

If you flip the loop over, you change the phase of the signal
by 180 degrees (more or less, accounting for pickup from the
radio itself and the leads etc.)

Somewhere in between, you'd think there would be an exact
mathematical null.

The loop may be bent and asymmetric, the signal may be
reflecting (as it surely is) from parts of the house
and coming in at odd places, but everything is added up
as rf, so the effect of all of this imperfection ought
to be, not to _fill in_ the perfect null of a perfect loop,
but so _shift_ it slightly.

(You'd have to rectify the signal in order to _fill in_
by adding, ie. take away its phase.)

So my inability to exactly zero a signal is puzzling.

About all I can think of, is that the exact location of
the nulls is different for different frequencies, and
so I can't null out very much of the signal (which covers
5kHz) at a time, and since it is many dB louder than
the noise level, it simply _sounds_ uncancelled, if
I can put it that way.

Against that, I don't seem to be able to get the carrier
tone to disappear with the BFO on; but in broadcast band
there's another carrier under it from any number of stations
that sounds the same, so you can't tell from that.

Also I'm not sure a null-shift with frequency would be
big enough to explain anything across 5kHz.

    I recently d/l'd a program from the virtual software

shortwave by plugging the headphone jack into the Mac

   Can someone tell me what freqs the weather fax info is
broadcasted on?  I hear what sounds like fax or modem data
from 2000-4000kHz but I think this could be LORAN navigational
signals.

Thanks,

    I recently d/l'd a program from the virtual software
library that interprets weather fax data broadcasted on
shortwave by plugging the headphone jack into the Mac
microphone input.
   Can someone tell me what freqs the weather fax info is
broadcasted on?  I hear what sounds like fax or modem data
from 2000-4000kHz but I think this could be LORAN navigational
signals.

Thanks,

Mike

In the 1996 Passport to World Band Radio, we mentioned that there was a
way to send faxes to them via Internet for free, but that has recently been
discontinued by whoever provided the service.  Thus, if you want to
send them a fax, you have to do it the old-fashioned way and pay for it.
There are fax numbers for VOR in Passport to World Band Radio and the
World Radio TV Handbook.  I wouldn't expect a faxed reply, though, because
VOR has very little operating money, and I imagine they'd appreciate it if
you sent an IRC if expecting a Snail Mail reply.  I have heard some
unfavorable reports about the honesty of some people handling international
mail once it reaches the Moscow airport, so take reasonable precautions to
conceal IRCs from prying eyes.

Yes, it is true that VOR doesn't have e-mail; again, I presume this is due
to lack of funds for this service.

Sorry I don't have a more encouraging report!  However, a well-known DXer
I know recently visited the VOR English service, where she has friends, and
she tells me that they're really up against it.  Thus, I urge understanding
if you have problems getting schedules or other replies.

Lines: 36

Attention!

A new Numbers Station recording is on line at the CONET project On
Line homepage:


http://www.ibmpcug.co.uk/~irdial/coneline.htm


This new file is a 100% complete recording of 'The Swedish Rhapsody'
the numbers station that uses a musical intro to identify the
station and the voice of a *female child* to transmit its messages.
It is one of the more disturbing Numbers Stations, and the signal
recieved was very strong indeed. The details:

Recorded: December 8th 1995
Frequency: 3.823usb
Time: 22:00 GMT

This Numbers Staion is aparently maintained by Austrian
Intelligence.


This is an 'audio on demand' presentation. You will not have to
download any soundfiles to hear the recording of this station.
Just install the Iwave software if you havent already done so, and
click on the link. The file will begin playing immediately.

There are also recordings of a MOSSAD Numbers Station, 'The
Lincolnshire Poacher' Station, and the amazing OLX that you can
hear.

All feedback is greatly appreciated and quickly answered.


Ende.

Fellow SWLs,

On Radio Exterior de Espana's weekend DX program "Distance Unknown"
(9540 @ 0021,0121, 0521 UTC Sunday) they announced that the Spanish
national radio/TV service was going to sell a satellite radio.  The
price is 15,000 ptas. (less than $130).

They didn't give any technical specifications, only that the goal
was to make possible reception of all of the Spanish radio services
(RNE, Radio Uno, REE, etc.) avaiable on their Hispasat satellite.

Unfortunately, Hispasat's TV reception footprint doesn't reach my
location here in CA and so I doubt that the radio service will reach
here either.  However, if this low price is correct then the future
of SW service by satellite looks bright.

Please write/post if you have more details.

All the best.

David Williams (Sacramento, CA)

A while back I posted a question about old time radio broadcasts on
shortwave.  To my delight I discovered that Radio Canada Int. broadcasts a
half hour segment on Saturday evenings at 2330.  This last week was an
episode from "The Saint", next weeks is supposed to be from "Suspense".
This is quite enjoyable.  Only sad part is I here there may not be a RCI
for much longer.

When someone starts sending N's and O's in CW over a radio transmission,
then dead-keying, I would think even a novice radio hobbyist could
recognize it as jamming.

I've also heard numbers station being jammed, that UNINTENTIONALLY jammed
other nearby broadcasts.

When it gets to the point that you have to check the internet for
grammatical errors, I think its time you found another hobby.

>Zakaria Liang!
>(namanya untuk kawan sahaja!)

The term "P" means "Propagation Disturbance"

P=5=No disturbance
P=4=Slight disturbance
P=3=Moderate disturbance
P=2=Severe disturbance
P=1=Extreme disturbance

The same definition applies whether you are reporting in the
SINPO or in the SINPFEMO format.  These definitions were
recommended by the CCIR (Comite' Consultatif International
Radio).  My reference is: "Reference Data For Radio
Engineers", fifth edition, Howard Sams copyright 1968,
Section 41, Tables 18 and 19.

As far as I know there are no more quantitative definitions.

I've seen a lot of sotwear advertised for controling SW and Scanner
radios. Question: Don't the PCs create a LOT of RF noise? I may be great
to control your radio via PC, but if they drive the noise level up you
won't be able to hear weak signals, correct?

Well, as with everything, it depends.  My computer started out life as a
Gateway 2000 386DX33 about four years ago, so everything except the
motherboard (now 486DX2 66) and hard drives is Gateway, and well made and
well shielded.  My radio is a small Sangean ATS-606, and is hooked to a
120 foot random wire by 300 ohm twinlead, completely unshielded.

On strong stations, no computer noise what so ever.  On weaker stations, I
get quite a bit, mostly eminating from the video card through the monitor.
 If I turn off the monitor, everything quiets up.

Now, if I plug the radio into my Hamcomm interface, I cannot get anything.
 (am building an optically isolated interface)  I think the interface
"feeds" interferance right into the heart of the radio.

So the answer to your question is: yes, computers can be used very
sucessfully if the computer and your antenna lead-in are well shielded.
If not, like with my setup, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Depends.

73,
Ben

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announced today it was shutting
down RCI at the end of March 1996.
Lack of funds.
Too bad, as it will be missed.
Perhaps a gigantic email campaign would help.
CBC has a web page at www.cbc.ca but I don't know if you can leave messages.

NEWS ITEM FROM CBMT-TV Montreal

The word is official. Unless the Canadian federal government changes it's
mind, RCI will go off the air April 1.  Andre Ouellet, the foreign affairs
minister, commented that there are a variety of ways to promote Canadian
foreign policy abroad, and Canada is able now to use television to a greater
extent than radio.

Posters Note: I find this comment interesting as I have never knowingly seen
Canadian programs (in particular current affairs) on American (the next door
neighbor) TV.  I do get some CBC programs like Sunday Morning on a local
NPR station.  I get CBC and other Canadian networks via Anik satellites but
they are expected to all go digital Jan 1 and will be unavailable to Americans.

Write the CBC and the Foreign Affairs Minister with your comments. Maybe
they do not realize that in some places Canada's voice is drowned out by
the American one.

contribution to the operating costs of RCI this spring.  CBC and Dept of

NEWS FLASH from CBMT-TV Montreal

It is rumored that the 60 employees of Radio Canada International will be
seeking new employment as early as tomorrow.  The CBC is rumored to be
turning over Shortwave Broadcasting to the Federal Government as RCI is
viewed by the CBC as a 16 million canadian dollar albatross. It appears the
federal government does not want to run it either.

At noon the RCI employees heard from their union that the ax may fall as early
as Tuesday the 12th. Allan Familiant could not comment offically until the
official news announcement, but indicated the RCI has been working very hard
for several months to prevent the fate that is being rumored about today.

You can hear a review of the DX-394 on this week's Media Network on Radio
Netherlands (to North America UT Fri 0030 and 0430). There will also be a
review in the 1996 World Radio TV Handbook available early January from
the usual mail order houses (Gilfer, Universal, Grove, EEB et al).

It's an interesting beginner's tabletop receiver at the right price point
for someone looking for a small step up from the DX-390/-392 portables.

Hope this helps.

One of the first things I heard as a boy on an old SW radio my
grandfather handed down were the words, "Ici Radio Canada...
This is Canada."

This year, 1995, is the 50th anniversary of Canada's
international broadcast service, now known as Radio Canada
International. I listen to it nearly every day. I can't believe
that it's 50th year could be its last. Come March of 1996, it
will be gone unless something happens to avert this loss.

Surely there must be something which can be done to save what
may be the world's most cost-effective international
broadcasting service (at least in terms of the number of
estimated listeners).

As many of you have probably read, there is a Coalition to
Restore Full RCI Funding (e-mail: [e-mail]). Let's hope it's
not too late to save Radio Canada International!

I'm having trouble with HF band reception due to interference from my
X-10 lamp modules.  They generate a lot of Triac hash that shows up in a
lot of different bands.  Of course, I can unplug the modules and it goes
away but that is pretty inconvenient on a regular basis and I have them
all over the house.

Has anyone heard of an internal fix for the modules that will reduce or
eliminate the RFI?

Haven't got my WRTH handy, but it was probably a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting
Corp) station. They carry all sorts of stuff at night, RFI, R. Australia,
BBC, etc.

I just wish they'd leave the air at midnight, like they used to.

Obviously, nobody on this group thinks shortwave is dead.
And I don't think it will be until satellite radio reception
is:
1) Available with a receiver as small as a portable shortwave.
2) Available with a receiver that is as cheap as an entry-level
    shortwave set.
3) Receivable with a dish as easily transported and positioned
    as the antenna of a shortwave receiver.
It doesn't seem to take a great burst of  intelligence to
understand this--so why can't RTE?  To be fair to them,
though, between the English satellite service in Europe
and North America and the new Irish language hour-long
program here on WRN, they are to be congratulated on
finally reaching out to people outside the national borders.

Does anyone have the Internet address of RTE so that anyone
inclined to do so can write them and 1) commend them on
what they've done so far and 2) ask them for longer pro-
grams at more convenient times (i.e., in the evening)?

Who knows, maybe RTE will wind up buying one of the BBC
transmitters?

Massive stations?  Moonbounce has been done by stations as small as
two yagis and a 200 watt amplifier.  (can't remember the call offhand,
he was a CO3-something.)  He was working W5UN, definitiely a
superstation, and a typical eme setup is more like six to twelve yagis
and a kilowatt.  Large but not massive.  You want massive, try VE3ONT
- it's a fully steerable 50m dish.

As for "a few", some people have gotten their moonbounce DXCC (one
hundred different countries worked) so it can't be that uncommon ;).

Yes, but make sure you don't buy in the first one you enter.
Comparison shop, and don't let the staff railroad you into buying.
Prices are often middling-to-high in the Tottenham Court Road
area, and you may find quite a variation.

It might be a good idea to wait until your next visit, however;
prices will remain higher through Christmas, and the area will be
mobbed by shoppers. Watch your wallet!

It's full of Electronic shops but none with any expertise. The type of
shops selling 2M handhelds and alarm clocks and last years stereo
systems and all other electronic rubbish you'd never want.

One shop I would recomend is Martin Lynch in West London. Their phone
number is 0181-566-1120.

Their main market is amateur radio and offer impatial advice and often
carry a wide range of second hand equipment.

I've no relationship with the shop, only as a happy customer over
several years.

Good luck and have a great time.

I would suggest you first buy a copy of Short Wave Magazine from
any reasonable sized newsagent (or WHSmith or John Menzies), as
there will be both some ideas of "bargain" prices from the mail-
order firms, and probably a few London addresses.  Look for the
'phone numbers  0171 (central London)  0181  (Greater London).

I live 200+ miles away, so cannot recommend any London shops now.

I have heard the same signals myself here in the Boston area.  I made a post
concerning these superfluous signals.  For the life of me, I can't figure
it out myself.  I did have a few responses....one said that it can be another
ingredient of the GPS system while another thought it could be a new type
of NDB (which I highly doubt to be the case).  If anyone out there could
solve this it could make a few fellow DX'ers very happy.  Thanks and Happy

Yes!  I get 'em spaced every 2 KHz from 298 to 312, from SE NY State.

I use the AN-1 with my Sony 2010. It's extremely sensitive on SW, but
unfortunately it has no preselection capabilities. This means that it's
only suitable in this area for daytime DXing, because as soon as the RF
level gets high (i.e., as soon as stations start beaming to North
America), you'll get all kinds of intermodulation and other spurious junk
all over the dial. As soon as I obtain the necessary adapter, I'm going to
try running the antenna through an outboard tuner to see if that solves
the problem.

The AM (BCB) module hardly seems to work at all, I don't know why.

Good luck!

I use the attenuators now and then--but, since they attenuate not only the
spurious signals but the weak DX signals as well, they are very little
help most of the time. The AN-1 is entirely satisfactory for daylight
reception, when megawatts of RF aren't being pumped toward ECNA. I can't
DX from my car when it's dark anyway.

My ultimate solution: Move somewhere where I can DX from home!

I have been using the AN-1 for three years.  I have it mounted outside the
house about 25 feet above ground.  My receivers are an ICOM 728, Racal
RA-17 and Grundig YB-400.
Mostly I use the AN-1 as a secondary monitoring antenna for a second
receiver.  It is a medium noise, medium sensitivity antenna.  Works well
for me on SW Bands from 5.8 - 15 Mhz.  Especially sensitive to 9.5 Mhz,
where it frequently gives me a 30dB advantage over my other antennas
(Curshcraft R7 and 100' dipole at 40 feet.)  It's okay on AM, but as I am
at the south end of Calgary, I am too close to AM transmitters to do much
AM DXing without a loop.  Hope this helps.

Hi friends,
I own a Sony CRF-320, a BIG-mother HF SW portable receiver circa 1977,
one of the first consumer SW radios with digital freq readout (to my
knowledge)!

Mine's aging, looking for advice (and sympathy!) from fellow or ex
owners, regarding repairs, performance compared to modern receivers,
etc.  Appreciate your contacting me for a chat, thanks.

I got practically every South African outlet in the 3xxx kHz range one
night at my sister's place north of Toronto with just the whip on my
'2010.

There are two things to consider:
(1) Major metropolitan areas generate enough RF hash to bury these
stations. In my downtown apartment, I'm lucky if I can scare up a
heterodyne in that frequency range.
(2) Propagation can be very time dependent. You may need to wait till
just before dawn in South Africa. Stuff that's booming in can disappear
in 15-20 minutes as the sun comes up.

Sorry, the terms probably aren't quite right in the subject
line, but it should give an idea...

Anyway, I'd like to ask everyone a question:

Which have you found to be more useful for DX,
A) (selectable) single-sideband synchronous tuning
B) dual-sideband synchronous tuning with pass-band tuning

I'm asking because I've seen a few radios that feature the
latter option (Drake R-8A, not-yet-available AOR 7030) and
claim to be as useful as the first.  I don't buy it, but
I'd like the opinion of people who have experience with
both.

A semi-related question:  Are any of these techniques helpful
in separating two signals that are on the same frequency/channel?
My current receiver doesn't do much more than tune, and I deal
with this reception problem by using a graphic equalizer on the
audio--the frequency distribution in the two programs is usually
sufficiently different that you can separate them out by boosting/
cutting different frequencies.

Wes,

I don't believe that either sync configuration will help when you have
two stations on the SAME frequency.  The Drake sync setup I guess would
be described as an injected carrier coupled to passband tuning.  I have
an R8A and the sync appears to add some quality to a fading and distorted
signal.  On the other hand, the selectable sideband sync which is found
on radios such as the Sony 2010 is quite dramatic in its effect on
adjacent channel interference... much more so, in my opinion, than the
Drake setup using the passband tuning.  I'm not saying that the passband
tuning setup can't be as effective... especially considering that the
receivers that use the passband feature usually also have several
bandwidths to choose from.  In my opinion, if I had a choice, I'd like
the passband feature AND true selectable sideband sync detection...

Tony

These units employ narrowband FM, so to clearly receive you need to either have
one of the handful of receivers that include an FM detector. Another technique
that sometime works is to use the widest IF filter and tune to off frequency. I
think this method is called 'slope detection.'  During assignments in Europe I am
able to receive FM mode CB on my 2010 by playing with the synchronous detector
in the wide position, but it was a lot of work.

Not a stupid question at all.  Generally, lower frequencies propagate
best at night where higher frequencies propagate best during the day.

You didn't mention what frequencies you have been listining to, so, I
would suggest that you try listinging to the following frequency
ranges during the day:  11500 - 11800 kHz, 15000 - 15400 kHz.  There
are many other bands, but, these are usually very reliable during the
day.

 Completely normal. The signals you hear at night are reflected off the
Ionosphere, therefore they travel quite far. During daylight hours they go
right through it.

That's close but not quite right.

Since shortwave signals do not bend to follow Earth's contours,
reception of signals originating at distant (over-the-horizon)
stations depends on their reflection by the ionosphere, regardless
of the time of day.  The efficiency of ionospheric reflection at
a given frequency has to do with the (among other things) what part
of the path between the transmitter and receiver are in daylight
and what part of the path is in darkness.  In general, daylight
favors propagation at higher frequencies, and darkness favors
propagation at lower frequencies.  The trick is to find a frequency
that is high enough to travel successfully over the daylight part
of the path *and* low enough to travel over the dark part of the
path at any hour of UTC.

Graphs showing predicted maximum, minimum, and optimum usable
frequencies on several given paths that month, as a function of UTC
may be found (to my knowledge) in "Monitoring Times".  The
frequency curves for any given path vary from month to month of a
given year, and from year to year of a given eleven-year sunspot
cycle.

A useful and much more complete explanation of what is happening may be
found in:

The Canadian Government announced today that as of March 31 / 1996

Radio Canada International will cease broadcasting world wide, and
be permanently shutdown. It's 120 employees will be laidoff, and the
various transmitter sites sold or leased. Funding cuts have been
blamed.

This is sad, that the CBC is shutting down thier Service,
i knwo SHortwave doesnt make much money, thought he VOA has Deptarments that
budget is 16.5 mILLION,  and canada cant even give 16 million?????

maybe RCI can do as Radio for Peace International does and work of a smaller
budget, stick up  1 or 2 two towers one in NA and one in europe or where
ever.  or at least give comerical shortwave a try. hell give say major
compines say coca-cola say 5 minutes of airtime for say 10,000 or go with
sponsoered shows as back in the 50,60;s as amercian tv had fukll sponsored
shows.


just my idea.

Yes, a very sad day indeed and one that the Canadian government will
live to regret I've no doubt :-(

I wonder where this leaves the likes of the BBC and DW who rent air time
from RCI facilities ??

The question I have is "if the economy breaks down so badly that U.S.
currency is worthless, is gold going to be worth anything?" After all,
you can't eat it and it has relatively few uses. Most of its value goes
back to subjective aesthetics. (If you want to give me some, I'll take
it. There is, in our society, a market for it.)

Jay you are probably very good at your job which is to anger people
and get knee-jerk reactions from them in order to boost your ratings
and impress your advertisers. You are in the job for money, yet you
point the finger at shortwave broadcasters who are no less ethical
than you and your station. WHy don't you quit being such a
self-righteous, arrogant, prick and get a life?

And this is from someone who is often sympathetic to your viewpoint if
you remember!?!

Yes, you're right, Brian I forgot as self appointed moderator of
this group I forgot that I should run everything by you first to
see if it meets your guidelines for taste and content. Excuse me
next time I'll remember the rules. Seems it's OK as long as
you're the one that's saying it. If you don't ike a thread or a
post simply don't read it. Now that I come to think of it maybe I
should just start calling you James Exxon.

Kevin,

Universal recently had these 2 books (the original and the update)
selling for DIRT CHEAP.  Contact them.

I'd sell you mine, but I prize it too much.

I will be travelling home for the holidays and my grandmother has
asked me to help her fix a few things on her beloved TransOceanic.

#1 The light bulb behind the dial is out.  Is this an odd-ball or can
I expect to find one at a good hardware store?

#2 She says that loop antenna doesn't work. If I remember correctly,
this thing has some sort of coil antenna with a magnetic core that can
be removed from the top.  If the wire in the coil is broken, I expect
that it toast but perhaps it's just a short in the lead-in wires.

General: So just how good is one of these monsters. She's mostly
interested in listening to the biggies, BBC etc. Is there anything
that can be done to improve her reception. Would an external antenna
help? Can it easily be used with this radio?

Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you,

Michael

The dial light in the transistor T/Os is a number 123, 1-1/2 volt screw
base bulb.  If you get stuck, I can send you one-1000 and 3000 models use
2, and I think the 700 does too.
The lastest tube unit (600 series) probalby uses the same bulb but as I'm
not at  home I can't check.

It would appear that the station on this freq. has recently gone
through a transition and is no longer a "Talk Radio" station but now
has a distinctly religious flavor to its broadcasts .

The address below is from Select Phone CDs (1996/First edition). The
address/phone may have changed along with the station's format.

1510 Talk Radio
500 W Cummings Park

I heard MediaScan from R Sweden Tuesday (5th Dec) and I thought
the chap from WRN said they plan to use 11 Kbps because this
would be usable for people (like me) with 14K4 modems.

I'm looking to buy about ten 2-meter handheld units of 5 watts or more and
at least one base station with more power.  If you have any to sell or

Oh yeah Robert, like Voiceoflib REALLY wants to sit there and type
in all of WWCR's mission statement for Jay because he is too lazy to
call the station and get ot for himself? Yes, they CAN be answered
but why should everyone cater to Jay's laziness and annoying tripe?

You can like WWCR, I have no problem with that. But their arrogance over
use of tropical spectrum cannot be ignored. A letter's already off to the
FCC.We should all do likewise and let the Nashville-ninnies know DX'ers

On World Of Radio this past weekend, gh stated he learned from George
McClintock that WWCR will once again be leaving 3315,  but it is not
known exactly when or what the replacement frequency will be.

It seems to me that every licensed broadcaster in the USA... WWCR
included... has to have their freqs approved by the FCC prior to
any broadcasting....

you  now insist on spamming the network daily with your assinine

1/3 of our calls last Sunday came from Canada... find me an 800#
that works in Europe or Central America (that I can afford the
installation on) and I will start using it. I've only been able
to find carriers that will give me a different number for each
different country... not very pratical to list tons of numbers.

easy-to-use World Wide Web page for searching the FCC's AM and FM
radio station database.

You can search by frequency, call letters, city, state, province, or by region
(several USA Metro areas are pre-selected or you can enter your own
lat/long).

The AM search shows calls, city, state/province, frequency, day power, night
power, critical-hours power (if used) and antenna specs such as DA-1,
DA-2, DA-3 DA-D DA-N or ND-1 .... etc.

The FM search returns calls, city state/province, power, antenna
height and whether the station is directional.

In addition you can see a color map of the transmitter location by
clicking on the call letters in the search-results window.  Currently
the map feature is limited to the lower 48 states.  We are working on
a feature to include directional pattern data.  We do not offer TV
data but may do so at some later time.

To use this you must have a forms-capable browser.  I suggest using
Netscape 1.1N (or later) since much of the formatting is Netscape
Enhanced (tables, backgrounds, centering etc).  It is usable on Lynx,
Mosaic and other browsers with varying results.  The output page is
formatted nicely and resembles the old "Whites Radio Log of the early
70's and is easily downloaded and printed.

The URL is  http://radio.aiss.uiuc.edu/~airwaves/fccdb.html

Please let me know if you like the service, and please try to
keep traffic as low as possible during business hours (8AM - 5PM
central U.S. time).  This is provided as a public research tool and
*NO* commercial use may be me made of the data.  The FCC database is
not 100% accurate.  We know this so don't write telling me about some
station which is improperly listed.  I do not control the database and
I do not make corrections to it.  To do so would be an impossible
task.  Enjoy the service.  It is free and I think you will find it is
very helpful.

Bill

I had the opportunity to compare my YB400 to a Kenwood TS440 HAM
transceiver, and thought I'd share the results.  I wanted the test to be
fair, so I used the YB400's own internal whip, and a 15 foot wire on the
Kenwood, both indoors.
I started with the longwaves.  The YB400 proved somewhat better here,
mainly because I could turn the radio to null out a noise source.
Although it seemed a bit better even without nulling.
Then I went to the medium waves.  Once again, the YB400 was a bit
better.  It even had a better signal to noise ratio.  The adjacent
channel rejection (next to a strong local) was about equal.  These two
results surprised me.
Next were the short waves.  No comparison here, the Kenwood was much
much better.  Signals barly detectable on the YB400 were easy copy on
the Kenwood.  The Kenwood had a much much better S/N.

Thats it.

The Kenwood R-5000 is basically the same as the TS440.

Steve,
        Though you tried to make your comparison as fair as posssible, it
sounds as though you might not have been aware that the TS440 has a hard
wired attenuator for LW and MW.  There's an easy mod to remove it (lift
two resistors and jumper one).  I did it to mine and, even though I live
in a fairly high RF environment, it hasn't given me any problem on the HF
frequencies.
        I think that if you did this, your results might change.  I'm not
sure any Kenwood ham rig will be a worldbeater on MW, but it will sure be
competetive with a small portable.  My wife has chased LW beacons with
our TS440 and done as well as those with an R8 or JRC rig.

That was Manahawkin Radio, NJ.  It's a ship-to-shore service run by AT&T.
Last info I've got is:

  American Telephone and Telegraph
  Radio Station WOO
  PO Box 558, Beach Avenue
  Manahawkin, New Jersey 08050
  (609) 597 - 2201

This is ref: King KHF-950 Pilot's Guide, no date given.  But, it lists
the WRTH as being edited by Jens M. Frost - so it must be REAL old.

I suppose you're talking about the US ICF-2001, and not the Euro-"D"
model (model 2010, here).

The original power supply is an AC Adaptor AC-140W.  It has four input
voltages @ 110, 120, 220 and 240; auto 50/60Hz sense.  The output is a
constant 4.5vdc @ 600mA.  Center pin of the radio's jack should be
negative.

You can probably source it with a bit more horsepower, but I wouldn't
vary the voltage too much higher.  The 2001 was a real testy beast and
had a tendency to go brain dead with higher voltages.  Also keep in mind
that this is the nominally loaded rating.  IOW:  If the PS is measured
while not hooked up, you may actually read 6vdc (fullwave-rectified, I
think).

I have had a few requests for a GIF file of my
active antenna circuit. It uses a GENERIC Dual
Gate MOSFET and a NPN Silicon transistor, a TOROID
coil and a few caps and resistors..

With a TWO Foot whip antenna it will out-perform
any long-wire or Inverted-L up to about 100 Ft.

http://espresso.ts.uvic.ca/cct.htm

I built one for less than 20$. The only hard part
to find is the OPEN-AIR 365PF variable capacitor,
but they can be scrounged from old stereos and radios..

Allan was NOT on the ship when the transmissions went out from the M/V

unauthorized transmisions will NOT be involved with this project!

here's a question i've been trying to figure out:
a lot of people claim they can hear AM transmissions through
their dental work or bedsrpings. how does this happen? obiviously,
the metalic structure of the dental work and the springs can act as
antenna's but what is demodulating the signal from the carrier?
and what is used to amplify the sound?

anyways, just doing some wondering.

if you have any ideas, it would be really nice if you emailed it
to me!

mucho gracias!

I posted here a number of months ago asking for the gentleman's name in
Connecticut who was featured in one of the amateur radio mags sometime
back.  Appearantly he's a repair genius with hundreds of antique sets.
I'm interested in his name and phone number because I have a Zenith Art
Deco console set in bad need of repair.  Please Email me if you can
help!     Thanks, Jason

How can we compare it to anything if it isn't out yet? It won't be out
until August, according to Grundig. Sounds like they may have encountered
problems.

On the other hand, EEB just received Sony ICF-SW1000Ts on Wed (12/13).

I was planning on running a wire around the wall near the ceiling,
and grounding my receiver to the baseboard hot-water heating pipe
(not the enclosure, but the pipe.)  On a whim, I tried attaching
the antenna connection to the pipe first.  It worked fairly well.
What I'm wondering is this: why did it work?  The pipe should be
at ground more-or-less.  Is it that I'm far enough away from the
actual ground for it to work as an antenna?  Will it work differently
if I attach at different points?  And if I should need a ground, i.e.
for a domestic mediumwave filter, what do I ground to?

I have had time to play with the radio.  My students enjoyed it!  They
thought it was neat how it would un-wind as it plays.  It  has
excellent audio and ample volume to fill a classroom.!  The FM and
Medium wave reception is excellent.  The Shortwave is acceptable if
you use an external antenna  but what do you expect from a $40 radio?

If they ever become available on the US market, I'd recommend that you
buy them as they are the ultimate emergency radios.

Andy,

Thanks for the info on the Baygen. Can you describe the method you
followed to obtain one? How about prices, duties, and the like? I woul
be interested in following your path.

Thanks for posting the information.

I have had several requests for ordering information.  I will start
out by saying that I am under the impression that most, if not all the
production run has been bought or committed to various humanitarian
agencies.  If that is indeed the case, it may be a long time before
the radio hits the open market.

Please note that I originally started to purchase the radio in early
August.

My contact was:

Leigh Murray, Sales & Marketing Mgr.
BayGen Power Company (PTY) Ltd.
P.O. Box 783744
Sandton 2146
South Africa

Phone: [phone]
Fax:      [phone]


The cost was US$117.81 ($40 for the radio + $77.81 for freight).
Additionally, since BayGen requires prepayment by wire transfer, there
was an additional charge by my bank of $35 for the cost of the
international wire transfer.

The radio does not come with any literature or manual.

Good luck to all who attempt to locate this radio.  I hope you find
one!

Andy, WS7J

I think you may be correct, perhaps the best we could get would be HF

Really sad to see the move to kill RadioCanadaInternational by the CBC and the
Government. 120 jobs gone .

Living abroad RCI was the only way to hear what was going on in Canada. It had
been carved way back but now it will disappear. How sad.

That means the only way to get 'broadcast' news in Europe will be via TV5-
Europe which airs the SRC Telejournal in the morning. If you want English
Canadian news forget it, no source. Maybe the CBC could swing a deal with
either SKY News or BBC World to have them rebroadcast the NATIONAL????

So RCI joins the Israeli KOL radio taken off the air...

even tiny Austria values their international broadcaster more than a G7 member
state....

sad.

Unless something has happened that I don't know about, Kol Israel is
still on the air.  In fact, Doni Rosenzweig very kindly sent me some
schedule revisions for them the other day.   Although they cut off their
prime-time broadcasts to North America back in 1991, Kol Israel is not
off the air, although it has had to struggle to stay in business, and has
suffered a lot of cuts.

One thing that has helped to keep Kol Israel's shortwave service alive, even
in reduced form, is listener response, both to the station and to the
appropriate officials in the Israeli government.  While things do look
terrible for RCI, don't give up yet.  Send those letters and faxes of support
to RCI, and also let Prime Minister Jean Chretien and Foreign Minister Andre
Ouellet know that you're out there listening, even if some misinformed people
don't think you're out there.  I can't promise that expressing your support
will save RCI, but I can promise that if we listeners say and do nothing,
then it will disappear because people will think nobody's listening
and nobody cares.  Sure, the RCI situation is sad, but listener apathy would
be even sadder!

I posted a message a few days ago about a Costa Rica Sw Station
I heard while at work. At the time I was uncertain of the frequency
as the radio I was using did not have a digital readout.  However
last night (Dec 14,95) I found the frequency on my Sangean 803
at 1230 UTC on 9725 and compared it to the analog radio that I
had not changed the freq. in the hope that it would id the next time I
listened to it.

The freq I was listening to was indeed AWR there was also some mention of
Seventh Day adventists.

I listened from 1230 utc to 1300 utc when they switched from english
to another language (poss. Spanish).

I beg to differ you Chris because the Drake's synchronous detector is very
effective. Even by the admission of WRTH's own reveiwers.

While it is true that some publications which review shortwave radios
preferr an IF notch over an AF notch. The debate as to which is
better is not as black and white as it is often made out to be. An IF
notch can, under certain conditions, cause intermod in the radio. The notch
on the JRC radios, no doubt, are effective. But how much more effective,
if any, to the Drake's AF notch is debatable in my opinion. If I had my way,
an ideal communication receiver would have both an IF and an AF notch for
maximum flexability.

The R8 is an excellent DX machine dispite what others have written about it.

I've owned several SPR4s over the years.  As for likes/dislikes:  I am a
Tropical Band Dxer so I do not mind the limited number of bands (23 each,
 500 kHz + 50 kHz overtravel at the ends of the PTO range).  As far as
accessories go I would recommend the XTAL calibrater and most definately
the 5NB Noise Blanker.
Which brings me to the next point:  you ask "Does the Noise Blanker
really work?"  Oh yes!  It incorporates a 2-pole XTAL lattice design and
runs circles around the Noise Blanker that is built into the new Drake
R8A.  My SPR4 sits next to the R8A and when the powerline noise comes up
on the Tropical Bands I switch over to using the SPR4.
The 1976 issue of the WRTH has a review of the SPR4 and the author feels
that performing a couple mods will increase the flexability of the SPR4.
 One involves splitting the mode switch to allow use of all bandwidths in
all modes,  another modifies the AVC rates,  the third replaces caps in
the 50 khz filter to widen the 500 Hz filter to 1.8 kHz.  I've found the
SPR4 to be just fine "stock".
I'm not sure about the going price.  Two years ago I purchased my mint
example for $300 with the XTAL calibrater and the Noise Blanker.  At the
same shop there was a "hacked" SPR4 for $150.  Again,  I use the SPR4
next to a R8A and an NRD-525 and it not only holds its own,  but at times
exceeds the performance of the others.  Hope this is of some help to you
Randy.

Just a comment re the hum problem

That was something that we ran into in the early days. The problem was the
early AC adaptor, not the radio. The first 110v adaptors we used had 2 core
leads on the AC side. ie there was no ground connection. The DC side thus
floated completely, and picked up AC hum. The adaptors we use in Europe had a 3
core AC lead, with the ground connection linked across to the negative side of
the DC output. The radio chassis is thus connected to supply ground - result -
no hum. We therefore changed to a 3 core AC lead for the 110v American adaptors
and did the same. This cured the hum problem.

In a previous article, [e-mail] (Omega1962) says:

>I disagree but its your money!

I am interested in further thoughts from you because the combination of
production variability in most consumer electronics products, combined with
users emphasizing different aspects of a radio's features and performance
makes for interesting comparisons. I intentionally came on strong hoping to
get some feedback from users with contradictory (and comlimentary) opinions.

The size of the Lowe is a real advantage if you are carrying the radio for
a brief jaunt. I found that I also needed a 12V car battery to power the
radio through a 48 hour DXpedition. By contrast, the SW-8 is a huge (but light)
lump. I take it from your hum comment that Lowe has fixed their hum problem.
On my HF-150, the hum level with the AC adapter made the radio unusable when
connected. I tried various filter capacitors, ground connections, and line
filters but could not greatly improve on this situation. My SW-8 does have
noticeable hum with headphones on, but it is of low enough level to be able
to grit your teeth and bear it!

>PS People love the LOWE products with a passion.

The HF-150 struck me as a "typical" British product, where the combination of
intriguing features and operating idiosyncrasies make for a love/hate
situation much like an old MG or Triumph sports car.

Hello Shortwave Friends,

I finally figured out how to use the internet News Groups.  I'm new to the internet.  Anyway
if anyone would like a free standalone Database Demo Program on shortwave which has a number
of records already, send me your E-Mail address and I will pass it along by return E-mail with
instructions on how to load it.

It is very easy to install and fun to use...

If you'd like more information descriptive information via the Postal Service, send me
your mailing address and I will send you some information thus.

Tnanks.

Chuck Bolland

  I've managed to locate some from various electronic stores here in
Western Canada, however they only want to sell in lots of 50! Surely
there's got to be a shop somewhere that would sell batches of 3 or less?

I think Gilfer sells them.  I think I saw an ad on their WWW page
(http://www.pics.com/gilfer/grundig.htm) for $12 each, with stations
pre programmed or something like that.

Last summer I purchased all 3 of the Gilfer pre-programmed chips. They average
about 50% full of frequencies, all grouped and labeled for the 700's readout.
The price is the same you'd pay to purchase un-programmed chips and this will
save dozens of tedious hours writing frequencies and station names yourself.

One caution:  I mistakenly wrote over some frequencies and they re-programmed
one of the chips for me. After I got it back I took the time to log all the
frequencies on my computer in case I screwed up again.

I got a YachtBoy 400 last October.  It's my second shortwave radio (I had
a cheap Realistic before).  I'm not an radio expert, but I really enjoy
listening to the YB 400.  The direct digital input keypad is great!  I
like the 40 station memory capacity - saving my favorite frequencies.  I
read in the "1996 Passport to World Band Radio" that YB 400 is an
"unusually good value" with audio quality "clearly tops in size
category."  The disadvantages are "circuit noise ('hiss') can be slightly
intrusive with weak signals, no AC adaptor included, and no tuning knob."
They say it works great in Europe and Eastern U.S.  The new YB 305 ($150)
is supposed to work better in the central and western parts of North
America.

Hope this helps.

  - Bob

QST, an amateur radio magazine, is available in many libraries on

Yes, I heard the broadcasts in central California.  I recorded the
1000 UTC program on 5065 (not 5605) on 12/5, and listened to the
1930 UTC on 12160 yesterday (12/9).  The Saturday program had an
additional 30 minute sports program.
According to the WWCR announcement, the weekend programs are at 1100
and 1930 instead of 1000 and 1900.  The weekend programs are 1 hour
instead of 30 minutes.  Also, I have not heard them on Sunday yet.

You are probably already aware that RTE has a Web site - RTE To Everywhere
- and that you can download audio files of the morning and evening news
broadcasts, including the Irish language version.  They explain the whole
process, including ftp sites for audio players.  I've listened to many of
these files by using a program called Sound Extractor.

Several years ago (mid 80's) I used to get and truly enjoy the
HeathKit catalog. Always wanted to build that House robot!.
Any way as I drifted of to College and other life changing
ordeals I forgot about electronic kits/radio/etc. And now I'm ready
to start over.

If anybody has the phone number/address of HeathKit or other
electronic hobby kits (radio/computer/etc) could they please
post or maybe a cross reference to where this information
may be available.

Heathkit died a well-deserved death.  For their last 10 years
or more, their stuff was poorly designed (10 to 20 years
behind the state of the art), and their customer support
all but dissappeared.  I made the mistake of buying quite
a few items from them, and they have become quite difficult
to maintain.

Would you happen to know of any UK sources or individuals who may want to

My father is thinking of buying one because it's digital; he's tired of
guessing where frequencies are. I have an ICF 2010, but that's out of his
price range. He lives in Connecticut and occasionally heads over to
England. I presume he is dealing with fairly strong signals from Europe.
(I live in California.) Is this the best radio for him? I've seen it
advertised for $199; where can he get it for less? Does Grundig make an ac
adapter for it?

Thanks for any information you can give me.

Anne,

        I like my YB-400. It gives me adequate reception in the midwest.
It's a convenient size for travelling and is very user-friendly. I have a
Radio Shack external power supply (273-1455). Don't know if Grundig makes
one. It wasn't supplied when I bought it. The wind-up, long-wire antenna
is another convenience.

        BTW, my Latin is very rusty. Could you translate?

Does the shutdown of RCI mean the total shutdown of the shortwave
service, dismantling the transmitting plant in Sackville or just the
end of RCI program production service?

I listen to the RCI relay of CBC domestic programing and would really
miss it if it ended.

Anyone know?

Everyone on this list of "supporters" has some personal reason why the
service should continue. The only group conspicuously absent are the
actual regular listeners. If the groups are going to lobby for RCI's
future, it certainly shouldn't be on the basis that the unions will
lose jobs. Nor is it particularly important that a few DX'ers like it.
The real question is whether or not RCI provides a service to its
listeners and enhances Canada's cultural image around the world.

Another poor approach. In the 1990's it's hardly a good idea to
"guarantee" anything. Either RCI and its employees continue to provide
a service the marketplace wants or it should go out of business. Adding
another government guarantee that isolates them from even the basic
business risks means it's nothing more than a guarantee that the union
jobs will continue whether they're needed or not.

RC>This communique is supported by:

RC>Coalition to Restore Full RCI Funding
RC>Canadian International DX Club
RC>Canadian Union of Public Employees local 675
RC>Communications Union of Radio Canada
RC>Technicians' Union of French Network (Radio Canada)

Every one of these organizations has self-interest at heart. Is there a
group of listeners who have no jobs to protect? That would make a much
more compelling argument to a bunch of bureaucrats looking to save
money so they can waste it somewhere else.

It would be a terrible shame to see RCI fold. It would be even more
terrible to see it survive only to save some union jobs.

I have a problem with the current ideas to shutdown Radio Canada
International:

If you have the technology, you can certainly obtain news about Canada
by satellite, special cable networks, internet.  But what if you're kinda
poor or in a country where these things aren't available.

Shortwave is still one of the cheapest ways to learn about another country.
And a shortwave radio is in many cases the best technology available.
Millions (billions?) of people in the world who don't have access
to the internet like all of you reading this posting.

Cheers.

 My first reaction was that this was a terrible way to save a small
 amount of money.  For many years shortwave radio has been a
 relatively cheap way of projecting a country's image, to the point
 of being practically essential.  But I wonder whether modern
 communications are starting to make the concept less relevant and
 eventually obsolete, in which case Canada could, inadvertently
 I'm sure, put itself in the forefront of discarding an old
 practice.

 As for keeping citizens and soldiers abroad in touch, well maybe
 a few more years would have been desirable, but as personal access
 to satellite communications becomes more and more widespread,
 bouncing meters-long waves off atmospheric levels will become a
 quaint bit of nostalgia like 10-inch vinyl records.  In the
 latter (soldiers) case in particular, surely we aren't going to
 stick a unit anywhere without some piece of satellite communications
 gear.

Rather than a "pack it all into a tiny size" portable I think a

  Hi All,

  I have read the book "Passport to World Band Radio" and am
pleased with the information it provides.

  I am most interested in technical information, nature, health,
and how thing work in general.

  From just a few samplings( from a cheap radio with a built in
antenna), it appears that SW programming is geared mainly toward
home-sick travelers wishing to hear from back home.  Why else
would anyone attempt to broadcast music on SW?

  Is there something for me on SW?

  Wildey Johnson     Lerona, W. Va.

Wildey,

I think you ought to listen longer and with a better receiver which wil
catch the myriad of truly fascinating smaller stations, many of them
broadcasting only domestically.  On what other radio band can one find
such a great variety of languages and music to enjoy.  Plus, if you are
interested in radio signal propagation or just in the general
"funkyness" of shortwave, then you will find you will enjoy it
increasingly.  It can take some time for a newcomer with only a simple
"cheap" receiver to appreciate/enjoy what can be found on SW.

I find SW vastly preferable to U.S. domestic ad/hype/gratuitous
violence-saturated programming (yecch!)

73,

Steve

Ok, everyone, tell Wildey what you told me when I asked the same question

This is the best season of the year to ask that question.  When I get sick of
the Christmas carols played over and over again in the shopping malls and on
local broadcast media I really enjoy Kol Israel or United Emirates Radio.
You have to know what you want before you can really aswer the question you
pose.

There certainly are programs on short-wave worth the time and effort.  Since you like the technical why-things-are
type of thing, I strongly suggest EL MUNDO FUTURO, a half-hour English broadcast on HCJB every Tuesday
evening here in the States.  (It will be preempted for special Christmas programming this coming week.)   There is an
excellent hour long news program from the Christian Science Monitor via WSHB Monday through Friday.  The show
is similar to NPR's "All Things Considered".  There are also news and special features over almost all of the major
SW broadcasters.  Some of my current favorites are Radio Austria International, Radio Prague, and Radio Vlaanderen
International from Belgium.  And I can't forget the Voice of Free China, and Radio Sweden.  There are many more,
more than there is time or space to list here.  Give the stations I listed a try.  And to any that I may have overlooked, it
was unintentional!

73's,
John

I am thinking of buying a Kiwa loop to use with a NRD-525.

Does anybody have any thoughts on whether it would be worth the $$$?

Currently I have a 50m wire that slopes at 30 degrees up to my window on
the 12th floor.

Does anybody have an idea as to what knid of attenuation the rebar in my
walls would cause?

YES, the 1500 UTC broadcast IS the same broadcast.The broadcast is new on
shortwave- it already exists locally.  What happened was that
KI used to relay all of the domestic English news broadcasts. Then they
moved the domestic news to 5 PM Israel time. The problem is that the
Shortwave timeslot was already filled.... Therefore it was not broadcast.
Now, due to KI's cutbacks (partial merger of REQA and Reshet HEY) they
eliminated some of the shortwave broadcasts- thus opening the time slot
for the English news (relay of domestic).... Thus, ironically through a
cutback, we get another broadcast on shortwave.

Hello.  Regular readers of this newsgroup will recall that I mentioned that
this week's final rerun on WWCR of Len Winkler's "Ham Radio and More," on
which I was interviewed, was supposed to be on today (16 December) at 1700
UTC on 12160.  My apologies to those of you who tried to hear it, since it
went on a few minutes late, and also the show suddenly went dead in the
middle and was replaced by another program after a few seconds of silence.
I assume that this was due to an equipment or tape problem.  I have e-mailed
Len Winkler to ask if it's possible to get a tape of the program, since I'd
like to hear it myself!  Again, I apologize, since a number of you told
me you wanted to try for the program again after it wasn't on at 2300 last
Sunday.  Thanks to you all for your patience under the circumstances.

It seems that a lot depends on the radio you are using.  My MFJ 959b eather

I have the MJF 956 passive tuner and it helps a great deal on my Drake

Just thought I'd add that I heard WJDM at 0130 UT on 15/12 hear in
England. I think it's the first time it's been heard here. It was weak
compared to the big boys like WWKB, WNRB or WBBR and reception was
difficult despite clear frequency (only static to contend with).

Condx at the time were good for MW to the USA.

WJDM's daytime signal is easily copied here in the Washington, D.C. metro
area...a distance of approximately 200 miles.  I've tuned them in off and
on for the past several weeks around 1600UTC.  Some fading, but easily
copied.

The evening 1Kw signal is surprisingly strong.  Last night I had WJDM
tuned in on my HQ-180AC.  My wife commented that she was enjoying the mix
of oldies the station was playing, and wanted to know what I was
listening to.

I doubt she'll set a button on the car radio to 1660, but she thought the
Hammarlund looked quaint :-)

For the last couple of years, the N.A. pirate radio operators have
been conducting a party on the air they call Pirate Radio Insanity.
Each year seems to get bigger and better.  They start around 2200 New
year's eve and run late into the night.  I've already heard a couple
of promo announcements for PRI III on 6955 during the last couple of
weeks

RCI currently doesn't have an e-mail address.  Other than their
standard snail-mail address you could use their fax line on
[phone] (in addition to the fax numbers for the Canadian
Prime Minister's office and the Foreign Affairs department -
both previously posted to r.r.s).

I have one and will return it soon.  It is not worth the $400 compared
to the 2010 or Grundig 700 which are in the same price range and are
better radios.  The DX 394 has only one AM filter which is way too
wide, probably an 8 kHz maybe even 12 kHz.  For $400 it should have a
sync detector and at least one more AM filter.  It has 2 CW filters
which I find to be useless.  For a little over $400 you should be able
to get a used Yaesu FRG 100 or Lowe HF 150 which would be much better
choices.

He is probably refering to TRIO and newsworld International both exclusively
on DIRECTV in the USA. And TV5 Europe has the SRC Telejournal.

I can only imagine the CBC Radio doing a deal with WRN to distribute some CBC
Radio programming in the USA and Europe....

There is a little good news........
I just got off the phoe with one of the CBC Television Engineers and he assured
me that CBMT/Channel 6 Montreal will stay in the "clear" for at least the next
2 to 3 years.  After that, CBMT/6 will be available via K-band using digital
compression.  You will need to get a decoder but the CBC programming should be
available without a subscription.  This would make sense since the Canadian
people have PAYED for the CBC, all along.   Good news for you "Newswatch" and
"City Beat" fans.

I hope that there might be a way to save RCI, any ideas ?

I for one would be very sad to see one of the world's finest shortwave
voices go silent.  Radio Canada International has always been one of the
best (if not BEST) source for news and information in the entire free
world.  I hope that the CBC and Department of External Affairs would
please think twice about giving the axe on RCI.  I  have always had
great admiration for the CBC with its' completely unbiased reporting
style....something I wish our American news bureaus would take example
of.  Ironically, I just spent the past few hours watching CBMT/6
Montreal's "Newswatch at 6" via satellite.....a totally refreshing
change from the tabliod crap so prevalent on our local and national
media.  CBC....please reconsider !!!!

According to the Montreal Gazette this morning (Dec. 13), as of March 31
RCI will shut down.  The CBC, which has, in the past, contributed half of
RCI's  $16.5  million (CDN) budget, claims it can no longer fund RCI, and
the Canadian Federal government's Foreign Affairs Department, which made
up the difference, will "be looking at other ways of spreading information
about Canada."

A bright side to this is that a federal law REQUIRES the CBC to broadcast
internationally. I believe at this point the powers that be are looking
for alternative sources of funds to maintain RCI. Keep an ear out..

And KEEP WRITING to RCI and to the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of
Canada, so that they'll know that there IS an audience that won't let RCI
die without a fight!

I would be interested to hear if anybody has had any luck, too. I sent them a reception report back in February with
an IRC and a local post-card.  Sent them another report via Fax in October for a logging I made that day.  So far, nada.

Radio Jordan has better things to do with its money and staff time
than send QSL cards to DXers, such as providing a broadcasting
service: you know, making programmes and broadcasting them. It is not
a free souvenir stand for affluent westerners.

I received a QSL from Radio Jordan in April, 1994 from the Director
of the English Service.  It goes without saying, however, that the
primary job of broadcasters is to make programs.  I never send a
reception report without making a thoughtful comment about
programming.  I appreciate receiving a QSL card because then I
know that my communication has arrived at its destination and
may be useful to the station.  I think that this token link
between the information provider and the listener can be a
meaningful practice.  Of course, a QSL is a curtesy, not an
obligation, that understandably must be disgarded sometimes in
the interest of the greater priority of producing quality
programs.

I would not consider the Radio Shack DX-394 a good value, as at this
price point you can go with Grundig or Sony and get synch. detection to boot!

Radio Shack should add this feature or cut the price by a third.  There
is potential here, as IMHO, they could be on to something.

Lots of people haven't been exposed to tabletop receivers, and this could
be a moderately priced way to jump in.  Let's have some value please.

My friend recently received a DX-394 shortwave receiver. Its performance
when receiving SSB transmissions does not seem right. When tune to
frequency 11309 kHz USB (aircraft) the receiver was not on frequency.
Adjusting the fine tuning knob the radio was still unable to make the
voice transmissions audible. However when tune to frequencies 8846, 8906,
11396 kHz USB the radio was spot on. Frequencies 5598 kHz USB was .03 kHz
above and 6628 kHz USB 0.2 kHz above. Are there any DX-394 owners out
there who may be experiencing this type of problem or does my friend have
a faulty DX-394

I bought one three weeks ago and am pleased with it. It's better than
my dx-440 anyway. Some features: LCD SS meter, two antenna jacks
(pl259-low Z, rca-hi Z), tape out, speaker out, 160 channel mem, two
clocks, 5 timer settings, 2 cw modes.  I successfully copies russian
RTTY using CW1, I also having good success on latin american utilities
(my specialty). SOME PROBLEMS: the memory "banks" only allow
programming of frequencies in the meter band for which each bank
represents (kinda annoying for us utility monitors!), ALSO for some
reason the step increment will change very occassionaly while spinning
around with the tuning knob.  Other than that it's a good radio for
$400 bucks.  I noticed that there is an unused display section of the
LCD that has SYNCH L and SYNCH U, don't know if synch detection is
dormant or simply was thrown out during the last phase of
implementation.  Sensitivity and Selectivity are fair.  Not a bad
radio.

I "had" a DX-394 for a day or two before returning it and buying
a Satellit 700 instead.  I am glad I did because for the money,
the Grundig is twice the radio the Radio Shack model is.

I do have to admit though, the DX-394 was real fun to play with.
In my opinion, it would be a really fine radio if it wasnt for
poor selectivity and the lack of other options which should be
present on a radio that expensive.

It seems that they were in a rush to get it on the market.  The
control panel has a button marked "NB" and on the radio diagram
they explain it is a noise blanker, but nowhere in the manual do
they even explain what it is to be used for.  Build quality also
seemed poor.

Radio Shack has the DX-392 currently on sale for $169.95 and it offers
more features than the new DX-394 for $399.95!

Clearly, the DX-394 can't compete at anywhere near this price.

Thanks for passing that along!  For those who are new to shortwave, the
reason that the date of Ramadan is significant is that, during this
important month in the Muslim religious calendar, stations in predominantly
Islamic countries often operate on extended schedules.  Thus, you may have
a chance during Ramadan to hear stations that are otherwise not easy to get
in your part of the world.  The date of Ramadan changes from year to year,
so that over the years, it takes place in all the different seasons (if I
understand my Muslim co-workers' explanation of this).  Anyway, take note of
when Ramadan is this year, since it may mean you'll hear fascinating
programming from stations you might not otherwise hear due to propagation,
time differences, or your own schedule.

The Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar so the dates depend on the
phase of the moon, not the 365/leap year calandar that is commonly used,
and often the only one that most non-Muslims are familiary with.

Hi, all.  The CBC's home page at http://www.cbc.ca makes no mention of the RCI
shutdown.  However, they do say the following:

 We want to hear from you! If you want to contact a specific program,
   please scroll down this page to find the appropriate address. If you
   have a general comment about the CBC, please send an email to our

   Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to reply to every letter,
   but your comments are important to us and will be included in a weekly
   audience report that is distributed throughout the corporation.

I'd send e-mail, at the very least, if you believe that RCI should be saved.
I'd also send copies via snail-mail or fax to the Canadian government.

     I just listened to the 6:00 PM broadcast this evening and
it looks like a done deal. It looks like funding will end and
the last broadcasts will occur in March.
     Being a long time listener (I still have my Club

If you mean the former Radio Canada Shortwave Club I used to listen to
that in the late 70's early 80's I don't remember a certificate given
out. It was more like a mailbag show. I've got an old tape somewhere
when they read my letter asking to play the Honeypot theme in full.
And yes they played the whole thing!

Hi!

I am a beginner to the world of shortwave and HAM radio. I am planning to
get buy a receiver to get started. Where shall I buy my first reciever
from? And which model should I get? I am planning to spend around $100 -
$250 on the machine. I have no idea how much those machine cost. However,
I do want a modern one with a lot of capabilities. My main goal is to
listen to radio around the world.

thanks,

Try to get a Sony 2010 -- you might find one used in that price range.
Probably the best receiver you could get for that money.

No help; just encouragement.

Best wishes on your endeavour.  I have been listening to an HQ-129-X
since the mid-fifties.  Every 15 years or so, I have to replace the
power supply capacitors and clean the pots.  Never had to do anything
else.  I would also be interested in locating a spare set of tubes
(should these ever fail).  I especially like the fluorescent job in
the right rear.

Danny

 There are a few massive amateur radio stations which have done
 "moonbounce," received radio receptions bounced off of the moon.
 To do this requires about a kilowatt of uplink and very, very large
 receive antennas.  To date I think only morse code has worked, no copyable
 voice.


All radio frequency e/m radiation is subject to the laws of reflection and
refraction by the ionosphere - in this case.  As with light, a critical angle
exists for every frequency.  HF propagation (3 to 30 MHz) over long distances
is only possible if the angle of total reflection of a wave is higher than the
horizon limit and is not subject to absorption.  You can draw a diagram to
illustrate this: draw two concentric circles, draw a line tangential to the
smaller circle and a chord to the larger.  The outer circle represents the
ionosphere and the inner represents the Earth.  The line and the arc show the
limiting envelope for propagation.

Most long distance propagation takes place at angles well above this lowest
angle because of ground absorption.  Incident radiation on the ionosphere is
reflected at all angles up to the critical angle.  Higher angles of incidence
allow the radiation to pass through the layers, but will be refracted in
passing.  The ray will be bent downwards as it emerges into space.

An imaginary satellite listening in to these frequencies will hear signals only
from well within the visible disk of the earth, never from the edges (given
the limit of 3 to 30 MHz).  However, those areas close to the point right under
the satellite will be the strongest and will come from the lowest frequency
stations as well as all those with higher frequencies.  The further away
from the vertical the satellite looks, the higher this lowest possible
frequency becomes.  Closer to the edges of the disk, only the highest
frequencies are heard.  Close to the refraction/reflection limit, fading and
distortion will occur, similar to those effects heard on Earth at
frequencies close to the same critical angle.

The post discussing Moon-bounce reminds me of a demonstration of this effect
given at the Festival of Britain in London, in 1953 (?).  The lucky person was
given a microphone and invited to say something into it.  A large dish-antenna
was mounted on the top of a tower and pointed at the moon.  The word most
people said was "Hello," and 2.5 seconds later their voice was heard again,
having completed the round trip.  High power and frequency was used but I have
no figures to hand for these.

Regards,
 Tom Woolner

I apologize in advance for my ignorance.

My parents will be living in South Africa for six months starting in
January and I am considering getting them a portable shortwave radio.  My
question(s) are these:

1)Is it easy to hear VOA and BBC on shortwave in South Africa?  What about
Armed Forces Radio?

2)What would be the best fairly cheap portable short wave radio I could
get them so they could pick up enough stations to make it worthwhile?

Any answers or advice where I could go for more information would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

     My daughter is just completing  about 8 months in Johannesburg and
she says that CNN International is readily available on local cable
systems .. Also many of the local radio stations broadcast  in English and
the news contains  a lot of information about the USA. Armed Forces Radio
no longer has a shortwave service I believe. I'm sure that the BBC is
tunable in SA  and the programs are interesting and  the the news is good,
although it emphasizes the English point of view . I have traveled  much
overseas and find the VOA is terrible in content and is directed entirely
to non American listeners . I always listen  to the BBC and local AFRTS if
available .
     Hope this is helpful.

Hi,

I spend a year in south Africa back in the sixties.  During that time I listened to shortwave.

VOA came in good because they were broadcasting from Liberia.  Now they are closer south.
As for the Arm Forces Radio, it went of the air a few years ago.

When I was in South Africa, we use to listen to a station called WRUL I believe which
transmitted from somewhere in New England.  We had trouble hearing that station.

There are other English Language stations in Africa which are easy to hear


I hope this helps....

Don't discount the BBC shop on the Strand.  They have a nice variety
of radios.  The strip of electronics stores on Tottenham Court road
is worth checking out too.

It's a good idea to bargain with the sales people at Tottenham Court Road,
their profit margin permits a great deal of price cuts :-)

The data signals are GPS correction signals, courtesy of the US Coast

I've seen various similar requests for info; I would be grateful for
advice, emailed or posted.

I have happily used my ancient 7600 all over the world, but it is slowly
dying. Before I go abroad again in March I want to get something to
replace it.

Here in the US I like to sit and listen and occasionally tape
foreign-language broadcasts. Abroad I listen at home and take it with me
when I travel locally, hence weight IS a consideration.

My local dealer has the following. I would be grateful for comments on the
models and prices:

SW 55 (read the Nederland review) $399
SW 33                                              $179
AN 1                                                 $120
AN 102                                              $90

I profit from this group and the web-servers connected to it. Thanks for
your advice.

Glenn, are you talking CANADIAN dollars or what?
I bought a BRNAD NEW one two years ago for $284.00

I sold it for about $225.00 which is the going price for an ICF-2010 in
mint condition. Of course you are welcome to try! I know some places
sell them new for as high as $359-399.00 to the uninitiated!

I have one that I use for casual listening and it works pretty well,
but the user interface can only be described as bizarre. Instead of
standard memories, it has a concept of "pages", each of which can hold
a number of memories. I guess the intention is to allow grouping of
frequencies by station, region, or whatever, but it just winds up
being confusing. I find that whenever I need to change something, I
have to get out the manual and look up how to reprogram it. It's just
not the least bit intuitive.

Once past these idiosyncracies though, I think it probably performs as
well as anything in it's price bracket. The 100hz tuning step won't make
you very happy if SSB is your thing, but it is possible (1000hz is
also an option, selectable by push-button).

My verdict: a good portable, but not in the same class as a decent
desktop; certainly a cut above the Sony 7600 class though.

Heimo-

I have a Sony SW77 and am quite pleasd with it.  Despite Rolfe's opinion
that the interface is bizarre and nonintuitive, I haven't found it at all
difficult to use (but then again, I can program my VCR, so maybe I'm a bit
more technically oriented :-))

I like the ability to either use the preset buttons to find my favorite
stations or to use the scan button to "surf" the bands. The tuning knob is
especially useful to pick up weak stations that the scan button bypasses.

   I've had mine for about 2 years, and before I bought it, I read a review
that said it was complicated to use, compared to other portables, like my
2010. I decided to get anyway, I was going on a trip, and the 2010 was a
little too big. It has been a good receiver for me, it's easy to use,
didn't even look at the manual. I even take it with me on long car trips, I
listen through earphones, and my wife doesn't complain.

Nate,

     Love mine! A bit rough on batteries - I think all Sony's temd to be this
way to one extent or another. I recommend the SW-55 to those who might like
something with a few more bells and whistles than the ICF5900G. Good little
radio.

SW Enthusiasts--

I'm taking off for a few weeks in March and going and relaxing in a remote
little cottage on Bequia (in the Carribean).  Won't have TV or phone (thank
God), but would like to have a portable SW radio with me for the duration.
Am particularly interested in the Sony SW100.  Anyone out there with a used
model that's in great condition that you'd be willing to sell?  My trip is
for the first few weeks in March, so I'd like to acquire one no later than
Mid-February so I'd have a week or two to play around with it.

Drop me a line!

I would like to get a sony ICF-sw100, and AES has one in mint condition
with all of the accessories for approx. $260. If I can find one less
expensive on the net, then I will buy it. I also have for trade a 2 meter
HT, Radio Shack HTX-202, with speaker mic, batt & cgr, etc. Along with
that I have a DX-440 swl radio. I am looking for a SMALL portable,
therefore I have decided on the SW100. So, if you are a new ham, etc this
would be benificial to you, because you'd still have a sw reciever, and
you'd get a HT, too.

Emotionally, I'll miss those friendly Canadian voices. I suppose the
Canadian federal government is more disposed to refuse funding for RCI
because it doesn't have a high profile in Canada and there are no
votes in it. Still, that's politics. The benefits of the service
aren't tangible.

Oh, I daresay the Canadian government will let them continue to use
the facilities, once they've been sold off to a private operator.

Upon reflection this whole controversy is beginning top look like a
hot potato between the CBC and Foreign Affairs.  Neither wants to kill
RCI but neither wants to pay for it either.  In bureaucratic struggles
like this a very public activity is often seized upon and held hostage
until someone comes up with the money.

When the Federal government "shut down" in the States during the
budget struggle a few weeks ago, the national parks including the
Statue of Liberty were closed to dramatize the "shut down."

So, I'm willing to bet on a compromise along these lines:

        RCI program production ends.

        The transmitter plant in Sackville continues in operation servicing
        its tenants like DW and the BBC as well as broadcasting CBC
        domestic programming to the world in English and French.

        The government ponies up the money under the guise of promoting
        Canadian culture around the world.

It's nothing to do with Quebec, which in the current scheme of
governement planning is little more than a noisy distraction. Governments
all over the world are pulling funds away from their shortwave services.
Even VOA was on the cutting table. It survived, but with reduced service.
The RCI sacrifice is part of the CBC so-called restructuring plan. When
it comes down to the bottom line, shortwave doesn't pull in much loot.
But I wouldn't mourn about RCI quite yet.

From the home office in Grand Rapids Michigan, Top Ten Reasons the ARRL
should change their name.
And now a man who looks like a New York City Hot Dog....

10. ARRL easily confused with ARF! ARF!

9.  Burt Fisher keeps calling asking to change the AWRL, or oil for youse
north of the mason dixon line

8.  Little John keeps trading foreign mail for Jack Daniels

7.  w1aw.org sounds too much like we all want an orgy

6.  New Slogan Andy Rooney Reads Letters

5.  The 1995 ARRL awards were shown on CBS.
    (oops, that was for another top ten list)

4.  Ransom Letters for Alan, WA4JTK keep being returned to ARRL HQ

3.  No Code Licences popular teenagers who crank call W1AW asking hwere
    to get a copy of the bitchin' audio announcements

2.  The homeless actually want to use their shelter, and have to nerve to
    ask ARRL staffers to move aside--

and the number one problem of the ARRL

1.  No one gives a damn about them.

Last month, I sent a reception report to the VOA for a 29 October
broadcast on 9760 kHz, at 2030 UTC. My '96 Passport lists the transmitter
in use as located in Briech, Morocco.

When I received the VOA QSL, the same, time, date, and freq were
confirmed, but listed as *via Kavala.*  Does anyone know where Kavala is?
(My grasp of geography isn't what it should be.) And do others have info
confirming that broadcast time/freq as Kavala, not Briech?

Many thanks,
Jen Hull

The Zenith Trans-Oceanic is a beloved favorite of vintage radio enthusiasts. I
have the same model radio that my Dad carried with him in Korea, still in
great shape and running beautifully. You'll be glad to fix it up. while
admittedly this radio doesn't perform as well as my Icom R-71A, it is still a
blast to listen to, and has beautifuly rich, bassy sound quality that is great
for listening. I don't know about how to get it fixed, but if you have World
Wide Web access, check out the Shortwave Radio Page- itre.uncecs.edu/radio I
believe there are some vintage radio repair links . Good luck!!

From my own experience, you need to decide what you are going to do with
it?  I started out with a YB400, found it was inadequate and exchanged it
for a Satellite 700.  According to Passport the Satellite 700 is only 1/2
star better than the YB400, however, after using the St 700 I was very
impressed.  To make a long story short, I thought by going with a five
star receiver, ôit should really blow my doors offö.  However, this was
not the case.  The receiver I did buy does a great job, but really canÆt
justify the extra $$ it cost.  I suppose if I got into using all of itsÆ
features I would appreciate it more.
I know this does not answer your question on which is the better receiver,
but from reading many replyÆs similar to the question you asked is like
you asking someone is a ôford better than a chevyö.  As to what receiver I
bought look in Passport for the answer.

Just food for thought!

Both are noted to be fine radios.  To put it simply the Grundig YB-400 is
known for superior audio. The Sony 7600G is known to be a better DXing
radio.  It's a tough choice - been lotsa discussion on the merits of the
individual units.  I guess it comes down to the kind of listening you
want to do  and how good the reception is in your area.

Cheers

This is probably a dumb question, but I need some help, and I don't know
much about short wave radios.

I live in Newfoundland, Canada and my parents live in New Brunswick (a
couple of provinces away).  There is a radio station here where I live
that they really like, but of course they can't get it where they live.
I imagine what they would need is a short wave radio to pick up this
station, but I don't know if there are any differences between them.  Is
there a specific type that they would need, or will any short wave radio
pick it up in a decent manner?  This thing needs to be as inexpensive as
possible...I don't have much money to throw around.

I think my mom has one of those cheap jobbies...it's a cassette player
with AM/FM/shortwave radio (it's only cheap quality).  Would this work at
all?  If not, can it be altered in any way?

Please e-mail me with any help.

Thanks.

Well, I cannot think of any station in New Brunswick that broadcasts in the
shortwave range, which is higher than regular AM (a.k.a. mediumwave) and
lower than broadcast FM.  Thus, you would not hear this station in the
shortwave range, which has stations of its own from all over the world.

If your specific interest is in hearing this station, which I assume is
AM or FM, I'd suggest you might wish to try a General Electric Superadio III.
In the U.S., it is commonly available for less than $50 U.S., and it's very
good for the money if you want to hear AM and FM from a long distance.  Too,
you can attach an external antenna to it if you like.  If memory serves, I
think you might be able to find it at Canadian Tire and at discount stores.
Also, you could check for this radio's predecessor, the Superadio II, in your
local classified ads, house or garage sales; it is also a fine performer, but
doesn't tune the new U.S. AM band above 1600.

Good luck!

This afternoon in Columbus, Ohio I heard them beginning around 2:30 in
Portuguese with a pretty decent signal (especially considering the time
of day).  It has been rather fun following them and studying
propagation since they are truly the only station in the United States
on a "Clear Channel".

After all the talk about WJDM in this group, I finally heard it Wednesday
night as well, on a business trip while I was driving a rental car near
Butler, Missouri, south of Kansas City. Time was about 0030-0100 UTC
(6:30-7 PM CST local time). The signal was weak but steady with little
interference. They were playing what used to be called MOR
(middle-of-the-road) music. They ID'd after every couple of songs, saying
"Radio 1660, WJDM, Elizabeth".

I haven't heard WJDM here at home in Minnesota yet. Either I've been
checking at the wrong times, or their signal isn't powerful enough to
override the 2nd harmonic of WCCO, since 830 x 2 = 1660.

WNRB is really a religious broadcaster, a lot of teaching programs but
also a lot of contemporary Christian music, especially in the traditional
drive time hours and on weekends. The Woburn address in this thread is
correct. I listen to the station and my wife works in Cummings Park, which
is a gigantic office park about 10 miles northwest of Boston.

It's still available, I see it all the time. Are you in Montana? Maybe
good bookstores are scarce there. If someone else does not, I will note
the address of the publisher and send it to you (then you can order it). I
keep meaning to buy this book myself because of the AM station addresses.

I just order one frome Monitoring Times for $19.95 in ther Pre-publication
sale.  This normally retails for around $25.  Also if you order now, you
save on shipping charges which are normally $6.
As far as shipping date, MT said it would be either January or Feb, based
on when the book is released.  Also my Credit card would be billed before
shipment date, which I can live with since it is a good deal & Grove is a
respectable business.
To order:  Grove Enterprises  1-800-438-8155.

Good luck
Bill

It's still available, but the 1996 edition doesn't come out until January.
Your local bookstore, or any one of a number of SW suppliers, should be able
to get it for you.  If you check with such companies as Universal Radio, EEB,
Grove, Gilfer and such (their addresses should be in your 1991 WRTH), you
may be able to order it in advance.

The title says it all.. email w/ details. Must be in mint condition with
all of the factory accessories. (Active ant, power supply, case, etc. )

If you do have one without the case, or antenna, etc. I may consider it

Radio Moscow run by the Commies was a hoot!  I have tapes of it somewhere
that I'll have to dig out someday.  Hour after hour about how Capitalism
is the root of all evil and that Communism is so much better.

I used to listen to it on my Halli SX-24 and roll on the floor laughing!

I miss it.  Tom Valentine, RFA, and Newt just aren't the same...

Brian,
    Whatever his "ilk" may be, the fact remains that WLS is licensed to
serve a domestic market. That's it stated purpose. That's what they
sell. That's what the FCC rules say they should and must do to keep
that license.

    In the case of domestic showrtwave broadcasting, the rules state
they are not supposed to serve domestic audiences. From a regulatory
standpoint, the two stations are vastly different. The fact that the
FCC doesn't appear to give a damn is irrelevant.

    Personally, I see no justification for prohibiting shortwave
stations from serving a domestic audience. One of the biggest benefits
would be to free the religious broadcasters from having to lie about
what they're doing. I'm sure they lose years of sleep agonizing over
this un-Christ-like deception. I love to listen to electronic paranoia,
too. If the super-patriots could honestly target (via radio as well as
guns) the US audience, we'd all get to hear about funny looking
helicopters, trilateral commissions and how to shave our heads to look
spiffy. I used to love listening to Radio Moscow when it was run by
real Commies. It was fascinating to hear their propaganda. It was
funnier than anything currently on any TV sitcom. Now they're our
buddies and it's boring. Now, Newt's the funniest thing on the air and
that's beginning to burn.

The RCI Sackville transmitter site is for sale. WWCR could
purchase this facility and then legally broadcast into the
USA on SW. A side benefit is they could lay down a much
better night-time signal in the USA using frequencies above
5.8MHz.  This would eliminate the need for them to use
tropical band frequencies to reach their intended audience.
You're welcome.

The transmitter is for sale? Great. There goes my clearest relay for the
Beeb and about 6 other stations.

Joe, retirement must have hit you hard.  Now that you have all
that time to do NASWA, Cumbre, rec.radio.shortwave, why don't
you set up a non-profit foundation to buy Sackville.  You could
solicit money from this newsgroup.  What a coup! CRRS lives!

  I know these complicated concepts are hard for you, so take a deep
breath and follow closely.
  He is in Canada.  Canada is a different nation than the United States
of America.  Therefore, if WWCR (of the USA) is targeting him (and Canada),
that is engaging in international broadcasting by definition, and
therefore they are NOT simply engaged in domestic shortwave broadcasting.

  Can you prove that they AREN'T targeting an international audience?
I didn't think so.  That's why the busy FCC is ignoring you and your
whining ilk.
  Why don't you find something else to whine about?  WWCR is
broadcasting.  They are going to continue to broadcast.  Get used to
it.  Learn to tune your radio to other stations if you don't like it.

  There is no greater waste of Usenet bandwidth than the WWCR
whiners.

I'm hardly old enough, but I have read enough to know what you
are talking about.

In the 1930's and 40's (?) there was a "Dr Brinkely" who advertised
several unconventional medical treatments (involving goat gonads and
other things) over a radio station in Kansas. When he lost his license,
 he started up one of the many high powered stations in Mexico known as
the "Border Blasters" and operated that for a while.

There's a book out called "Border Radio" if anyone's more interested in
all this.

Hey-
        FYI I logged a pirate on Saturday, 12/16/95 on 6955 at 1918-1949
UT.  The station call was KNBS (?) and claimed to be broadcasting out of
Kenwood, OK.  They also claimed to be operated by the California
Marijuana Growers Cooperative.  They played progressive music along with
some humourous commercial spoofs and anti-government commentary.  They
gave a QSL address as PO Box 452, Welleville (?), NY 14895.
        The vox portion of the signal was unintelligible for first 10
minutes, but signal strength got much better after that.  My equipment is
still a RS DX-440 hooked to my house plumbing, specifically the faucet of
my kitchen sink.
        I promise I will get the wire antenna like you suggested.

Is the Sony adaptor the only one that will work with the Sony 7600G
or is there one at Radio Shack that I can buy ? Is there a pin available
so I can connect an External Battery Pack to work with this unit ?

Thanks

In spite of the venue, the following is _not_ an urban legend.

When I was a teenager in Brooklyn NY, I lived across the street
from another teenaged ham.  That ham's mother was forced to limit
his AM operating hours, because their downstairs tenant (a lady),
often was startled by hearing the ham's voice in her bathtub,
while she took a bath.

The plumbing in those houses was cast iron.  I guess the rust
coated pipes worked as an iron-oxide rectifier, like the rusty
razor blade and safety-pin, sometimes used during the Great
Depression as a substitute for the galena in a poor man's crystal
radio.  I don't know what functioned as the bathtub's loudspeaker.

Here's another Brooklyn story.  A different local ham _actually_
was able to load up his bedspring and work out on 40 meter CW.
I heard a rumor (and the _rumor_ may have been an urban legend)
that his parents forced him to stop using the mattress as an
antenna, when the standing waves burned a hole in his mattress.

I get reasonable results with a Slinky partially stretched out on the
window sill (source: toy store) for frequencies below 10MHz and a five
meter long wire (source: hardware store) above. You might try these
before investing in a fancier antenna system--they're cheap.
        Living in a high RF area, I find putting any more antenna on the
thing causes overloading, even with an antenna tuner.

I'm on the west coast and I have been receiving the Voice of Russia service

Thank you for taking the time to update us! I'm sure I speak for many radio

In response to a number of enquiries, here are some details about the
effect on the World Service of the UK Budget last month.


The British Foreign Secretary has announced that, as a result of the
Budget, World Service's capital budget will be cut by 5.4 million
pounds (this amounts to 20% of the capital budget, but does not
affect our operating grant-in-aid).  This is the first time that
World Service's grant-in-aid, which is agreed on a three year basis,
has ever been re-opened.  The government's view is that this money
can be found from private sector funds for capital projects.
But clearly, since we have already had to make cuts for next year
(funding has been reduced by 8% in real terms since 1994/95), we are
disappointed.

The World Service's hope is that cuts in programme areas will be
minimised by further efficiencies and savings in non-programme areas.
In the words of the BBC Chairman, Marmaduke Hussey, "we will give detailed
consideration to these measures, which fall more heavily on the World
Service in 1997/98.  We will certainly bend all our energies to
exploring the suggested approaches.  But we are concerned that if we
are not successful, there will inevitably be a reduction in our range
of programme services".

The planning figures for 1997/98 are the more worrying.  There
is a further capital squeeze of 4 million.  Our operating grant-in-aid
is cut by 4.5 million compared with the 1996/97 figure.  On top of
this there is no allowance for rising costs, estimated to be 4
million.  With other costs associated with the Private Finance
Initiative, we are thus looking at a possible loss of up to 10 million
operating money in 1997/98, and World Service's view is that this must
have an impact on our services.

This comes on top of the cuts World Service has already had to make for
next year, which included the closure of two of our services to
rebroadcasters:  the French language satellite news and music
service for commercial radio stations in France, and Radio
International topical programmes for English language radio stations
world-wide.  Fewer special one-off programmes will be commissioned for
World Service's own English programmes.

Listeners can be assured that the World Service will do its utmost to
maintain its current level of services throughout the world, but we
are concerned that the reduction in our capital budget will
seriously affect our ability to do so.  Any comments on this
situation are welcome at the email address given below.  British
listeners may also wish to write to their MPs if they share our
concerns.

I just heard an ad on the Asia/Pacific stream (9740 kHz, Singapore,
about 1430) for the December BBC Worldwide. However, I have yet to see
it on the newsstands around San Francisco (and I looked at a few places
which had carried it in the past) and I understand that the people who
subscribed didn't get it all that early and that it had fewer articles
than it had in the past.

Is this magazine going agant aglay? Is it all that useful (at close to
$6/issue or $50/year) for people who have Internet access and thus can
get the schedule from the Web or from rec.radio.shortwave?

(http://www.bbcnc.org.uk/worldservice/ for the December and January

I found personally, and had confirmed by the Australian agents that no copies

appears this has been caused by the closure of the BBC Hong Kong Office,
without putting in place alternative distribution arrangements.  It is
disappointing to see such poor planning, because Worldwide subscribers pay
real money for this magazine.

Boston hasn't received the December issues at any newstands either, which is
really annoying.  However, I _have_ subscribed recently, so hopefully I'll
start receiving it starting with the January issue and _on time_.  What
the schedules section has that the Web site or this group doesn't have are
the descriptions of what each programme is about, not just the titles.

Take a look at their ad in the Passport guide, btw -- it seems their US$ price
is cheaper than what they quote in the magazine itself, and you get a free
rubbishy local/GMT clock to boot!  :-)

You can blow the input device when static charges cause damage through
the External Antenna connection. Protect it with a quartet of back-to-
back diodes. (The built-in telescopic antenna is already protected).
Although it is easy to diagnose the problem and to replace the device,
prevention is much better than cure.

Lots of people really love the radio. I'm sure you won't be disappointed
with it "out of the box", but there are several steps you can take to
make it even better. If you aren't already a member of a specialist
radio group, the most cost-effective improvement to your enjoyment would
be to join one.

Hope you enjoy your Christmas present

Obviously, if you want to listen to, say, WEWN on 7425 kHz at 7:00 p.m.
and listen to the BBC on 5975 kHz at 8 p.m., then switch to Radio Cairo
at 9 p.m. on 9475 kHz, it's a lot easier to do with pushbuttons or direct
input.  Or do you still have a non-pushbutton telephone? :-)

I contacted the Postmaster  when I first started getting this crap from
my old email address [[e-mail]] and asked him/her to
look into the problem. After three emails [without reply] the rubbish
seemed to stop.

Now it has returned it would seem from the same source.

My solution is simple, Turnpike offers the facility to "Forward"
received email, I simply "Forward" any "Delivery Report" type posts back
to the postmaster from whence they came.

If we all did that I suspect that he/she would soon get the message.

Which one(Radio Shack, JPS, MJF, others)?

I am mainly interested in voice (AM, SSB) notch filtering and noise

You bet they help. I couldn't live without one anymore. Forget the
Radio Shack one, but most of the rest will do a good job.

I use an MFJ-752 with my Kenwood receiver, and it helps on some weak
signals, especially CW and other narrow band stuff.  But for AM voice,
there is no substitute for good IF selecctivity in your receiver.  What I
mean is that the audio filter will not make up for the poor receiver's IF
selectivity letting in other stations close in freq.  If the receiver
picks up another station, the filter may get rid of the heterodyning, but
the receiver may still be desensitized by the strong signal.  That means
that the signal you want will not be heard as well, if at all.

I've got a decent receiver, and the MFJ helps a bit.  But it is not a DSP
filter.  The DSP may be better at some things, such as notching out a
certain freq.  But I don't believe that it will be any better at
receiving weak signals when the receiver is not picking them up well.

I noticed that the receiver you're using is a good one, so you should be
spending money on the other end of the receiver, to get a better
antenna.  This might allow you to use the antenna to reduce strong
stations and maximize weak ones.

If you do get one, don't be surprised if you are disappointed in the
filter.  The one I have requires a lot of knob adjusting to get it to be
optimum.  The success of the user depends a lot on his skill at adjusting
the filter.  I think that some listeners such as hams would get decent
results since they are listening to DX and especially CW.  For someone who
wants to listen to the AM broadcasts, I doubt that the filter will be as
successful.

I haven't used the DSP filters, but if they are like the MFJ, then they
will probably require a lot of manual adjustment.

REmember that no amount of audio filtering will get rid of fading, QRM,
and other problems.  If you have the land and the money, you can get rid
of fading by space diversity reception.  That's when you put two antennas
a couple hundred yards apart with two separate receivers.  The best of
the two audio signals is used.  That's how the military used to do it.
Now they put up a satellite dish and receive the AFRTS over the military
satellite!

Hi, As a long time weak signal  DX'er and CW op, let me add this. When I
had a Drake R4C with tandem 250 Hz filters, and audio filter still helped.
withan ICOm 751A with a pair of 250 Hz CW filters, an audio filter still
helped.

Replacing my ancient homebrew op-amp audio filter with a MFJ DSP  improved
things even more, and was very worthwhile. And IF DSP's in radios do not
have the selectivity  or skirts of a narrow crystal filter plus audio DSP
set-up.

I've yet to see a radio that can be improved by a good external audio
filter. I think that will remain true for a long time to come, even with
DSP radios!

I agree a DSP may not "fully cure" a really poor receiver. But a DSP
certainly will improve even the best receivers!

I just heard the last few sends of a news report on CBC news world, that
RCI might still be saved. They mentioned that ALOT of Canadians'(I'll
assume listeners) are upset at the move to kill of RCI and that IF the
government offices that 'profit' or 'use'(not sure what the correct
wording they said) should help pay for RCI. So who knows. As I said before
I missed the broadcast and only got the very last few seconds of what they
where saying.

So don't stop with the 'email-fax' to the government. They maybe helping
in keeping RCI alive.

CBC server might have somthing. I haven't checked yet.

Another opinion. I own a Drake R8A and a 535D.


Superior Features of the Drake

--Audio for AM listening: Excellent---warm..nice bass

--Notch Filter: I LIKE the AF notch..prefer it over the IF 535 notch.

--LARGE alpha-numeric display

--I like the way you can use the knob to tune the memories.


Superior Features of the 535D

--Sync Detector: The R8A sync STINKS on my unit. Constantly flutters. It's
just awful. The 535D is rock solid if properly used.

--SSB audio: My 535D has an audio mod...and sounds crisp and clear in
SSB...better than the warmer sound of the Drake.

--Tuning Knob: WOW!! Great feal..smooth...nice big knob. Drake knob is
terrible...too small.

--Noise Blanker: I have constant S5-9 QRN at my location. The Drake blanker
is useless. The NRD blanker COMPLETELY wipes out all traces of static when
adjusted to a high enough level.

-- I like the "looks" of the 535D display...softer...easier to look at. With
it was tad bigger and was Alpha capable.

BOTTOM LINE

Use the Drake for BBC....

Use 535D for utility DX.

OH...by the way...the 525 DID have a form of sync detection...called
syncrophase

About the same. Finds lock easily but also loses it easily, thus
fluttering a lot. The R8 works so well in ECSS mode (a ridiculous
acronym that means "tuning AM in SSB mode") that I rarely use sync...

FANS PROTEST RCI SHUTDOWN

TORONTO (AP) - It never matched the fame of the BBC or Voice of
America.  But when authorities decided to pull the plug on Radio
Canada International, fans worldwide voiced dismay.

Now, after a week of Internet and editorial page fan mail, there's at
least a faint chance of a reprieve for Radio Canada.  If rescue
efforts fail, the shortwave service will end March 31--51 years after
it started.

RCI transmits 240 hours of programing a week, reaching 126 countries
in eight languages--English, French, Ukrainian, Russian, Mandarin
Chinese, Spanish, Arabic and Creole.

Since the depths of the Cold War, it has been popular in Ukraine,
where many people have relatives in Canada.  More recently, RCI's
live hockey broadcasts and message-from-home service have been
treasured by Canadian peacekeepers on U. N. duty in Bosnia, Rwanda,
Haiti and the Golan Heights.

The decision to close RCI was financial.  The Canadian Broadcasting
Corp. announced Dec. 12 that it could no longer afford the service's
annual cost of $16.5-million Canadian, or $12.2-million U. S.

"Given our limited resources, we have no choice but to concentrate on
our domestic service," said CBC president Perrin Beatty, who is
laying off hundreds of employees as the publicly funded broadcaster
tries to reduce a huge deficit.

All 125 RCI employees, mostly based in Montreal, would lose their
jobs if the service shuts down.  Closure of RCI's transmitter in
Sackville, New Brunswick, also could cause disruptions for the BBC
and other international radio services that use it to reach North
America.

The impending shutdown has provoked complaints in Parliament, from
businesses, academics and listeners abroad--Canadian and
non-Canadian.

"I think it's dreadful," said Mike Barraclough, a Briton whose
organization, the World DX Club, has started a letter-writing
campaign in protest.  Barraclough said RCI displays an independence
from government that many other international radio services do not.

"Some of them tend to be more what I'd call propaganda," he said.
"CBC coverage of American news is sometimes better than Voice of
America."

Daniel Eldridge, a Canadian living in Wendover, Ky., wrote to the
Globe and Mail newspaper, which is published in Toronto, to say RCI
had been his "umbilical code" to Canadian culture while working
aboard.

"I wish I could express to those who had this 'brilliant' idea the
amount of comfort and information RCI has afforded me and other
unofficial ambassadors of Canada, on our journeys," Eldridge wrote.

Yes, the FCC has the AM, FM, and TV databases up on their ftp site. I have
written a program (for the Macintosh) that makes dealing with their
database files a little easier. It is available via by Web page.

I'm considering the purchase of a Yaesu FRG-100.  Although I've read the
reviews in Passport and the Radio Netherlands Web pages, I'd like to hear
some less technical opinions from those who own the radio.

I currently own a Sangean ATS 818 (aka Radio Shack DX390) and am eager to
move up to something more sophisticated.  My primary interests are listening
to the major broadcasters.  (I live in western Massachusetts.)  While the
portable I own does the job most of the time, it's not what I would call
'easy listening'.

I was planning on going right to a Drake R8A, but geez, thats a lot of money
for a radio!  Please tell me you've got an FRG-100, and you like it just
fine, won't you? Please?

Thanks to the many people who responded to me via e-mail re: my request for
FRG-100 opinions.  The general consensus was that the Yaesu FRG-100 is a
big step up from the Sangean ATS818 (aka Radio Shack DX390) I've been using.
As a new owner, I'd have to agree :-).

Hi Steve,

I have an FRG-100 and I like it quite a lot.  However, I listen mostly to
sideband and CW, and do some simple programming for the computer control.  I
do listen to broadcasts on it occassionally, but in all honesty, I don't
think the FRG-100 will do any better than your Sangean.  As a reference
point, I owned a Radio Shack DX-400 (an older digital model), and the sound
quality on broadcasts was, in my opinion, better than the FRG-100.  I think
that as far as the braodcast band goes, the FRG-100 excels only in the
fact that you can hook a good outside antenna to it without overloading
the receiver.

My opinion of the FRG-100 is that it's excellent for SSB and CW reception,
but only average for broadcast reception.

Good luck!

Andrew Clegg

        For those who have had trouble with the tuning accuracy of
the GE Super Radio III.  The radio uses devices called Varicaps.
These are devices which change their capacitance when the voltage
across them changes.  The problem with the tuning of the Super
radio is that the tuning knob is connected to a variable resistor.
As the battery drains, the voltage at a given point on the resistor
also changes.  In other words, if you tune to a 1000 kHz station
with new batterys, by the time the batterys die, the radio will be
tuned to about 890 kHz.  The cure is to regulate the voltage to the
tuning circuits.  However, since the analog display is only approximate,
this is not really worth your while.  Better to get a cheap frequency
counter and measure the local oscillator frequency, then subtract
455 kHz from it.  There used to be an IC on the market which did exactly
this, but with the advant of cheap PLL's, it has been discontinued.

Well, yes, folks -- you can get them from the radio stores and
buy them as "memory units".  But you can buy them from electronics
parts suppliers and save a bundle.

The tech data sheet with the manual calls for (among others)
the "Microchip brand  24LC16P" which it describes as a "2048x8"
CMOS EEPROM.

More specifically, it is a Serial EEPROM.  The current part
designation in the DigiKey catalog is "24LC16B/P-ND".  Current
price listed in the August '95 DigiKey catalog is $2.02 ea.
[Sorry -- that's the only one I have handy.]

Yep -- if you know what to look for, you can get ten for the same
price as from the radio shops.  I have about a dozen of the little
buggers running around.  Handy little things.

DigiKey's order line is [phone].  They'll charge you a $5.00
processing fee for orders under $25.00.  So go ahead and plan on
ordering 13 of the chips. Don't worry -- you /will/ use them.

I am not affiliated with DigiKey.

Cheerio!

I recently saw a Grundig 700 in  a local store. Does anyone have any
experience wit this radio for general shortwave listening.

I have not done much listening for the last 10 years so need an update

You'll be missing synchronous detection if you choose the YB 400 over the

A local chain here in NYC is selling these Grundigs for under $200. I'd
like to buy one for friends of mine who travel quite a bit in India and
Asia. Is this a correct unit for reception in this that area, or would a
Sony be more appropriate...I understand sensitivity is different between
the two brands.

Amateur Electronic Supply here in Milwaukee had one, and I checked it
out. It was a good radio, but a bit awkward when placed on the built in
stand, as the antenna comes up from the bottom right side, and gets in
the way of operation. You may still be able to get it from AES, but they
are pretty rare.

For the past several years I have been using a set of Zenith stereo
headphones
for all my DX'ing.  They have been an EXCELLENT accessory!

Now, however, they are beginning to fall apart -- LITERALLY -- and I have
not been able to find a comparable set of new 'phones with the same
"sound"
as these have.

Can anybody out there help me locate stereo headphones with the same
frequency response as these have?  They are Zenith stereo headphones,
Model 839-59.

small parts in egg cartons on the kitchen table. By Sunday afternoon we were
playing music. I loved to build Heathkit electronics. Since then I also
built a dual trace Oscope and a 25" Color TV.

Bye Heathkit, We will miss you.

I have one and find it quit good.  It has better sounding audio than
some of the others.  It has gotten high ratings whenever it has been
reviewed.  Grundig does not supply the ac adapter but recommends one
from Radio Shack.  I got the RS model number for the adapter when I
called Grundig on their 800 number.

I think the WUN mail server is OK. I can say that the last few days I
have been receiving it fine at my location here in New Jersey.  There
have been times in the past that it takes almost a whole day to get the
mail, but I think that is a problem with either the network or my server.
I have often noticed people posting answers to questions, before that
posted question showed up in my mail. The further away from the
listserver site you are, the longer it will take for the mail to get to
you, and, the more it can get messed up on the way..

If you missed or lost some of the previous weeks mail from the WUN mail
server, and you have a WEB Browser, I keep a few weeks worth of the mail
from WUN on my shortwave web page.

The URL is: http://www.cybercomm.net/~slapshot/speedx.html

Just because we call it email doesn't mean it's always fast!

Not true. I have one (somewhere). I used to use it to interface my R71A to
my Apple //e (if that tells you how long ago it was). I built a little
parallel I/O card that communicated with the EX309. It also had a 8 bit
A/D, which I fed the S-meter signal into. I had a little program that
could sweep a band, an plot signal strength vs frequency.  I upgraded to
CI-V when I got my Mac.

The EX-309 interface sure seemed faster though. I guess because it was paralle
l.

I installed a Kiwa wide filter in my 2010 four or five years ago and can
tell you that it made a major improvement for SW broadcast reception.
Skirt selectivity is much improved over the original wide filter.  I
seldom needed to use the narrow filter after doing this mod.  If you are
reasonably careful, and used to working on circuit boards you should be
able to do this mod.  If not, give it to a trusted repair shop.  Good luck
to you.

        I suppose this explains why every Radio Shack near an Army
base sold more shortwave radios in the six months leading up to
Desert Storm than they had in the ten previous years.
        Yes, satellite communications gear is standard for units
Battilion and above, but they are hardly used for listening to
Wolfman Jack.

tes:


    My first reaction was that this was a terrible way to save a small
    amount of money.  For many years shortwave radio has been a
    relatively cheap way of projecting a country's image, to the point
    of being practically essential.  But I wonder whether modern
    communications are starting to make the concept less relevant and
    eventually obsolete, in which case Canada could, inadvertently
    I'm sure, put itself in the forefront of discarding an old
    practice.

But we're clearly not at that stage yet.  If the more modern means
were more practical than shortwave, the latter wouldn't have 10
million listeners.

    As for keeping citizens and soldiers abroad in touch, well maybe
    a few more years would have been desirable, but as personal access
    to satellite communications becomes more and more widespread,
    bouncing meters-long waves off atmospheric levels will become a
    quaint bit of nostalgia like 10-inch vinyl records.  In the
    latter (soldiers) case in particular, surely we aren't going to
    stick a unit anywhere without some piece of satellite communications
    gear.

Indeed, RCI is simultcast these days over some sort of
direct-broadcast-satellite over Europe.  However, without programmers,
I assume that this service will be discontinued along with the beaming
of shortwave from Sackville on March 31, 1996.

A decent used one would be in order. I picked up a Kenwood R1000 for $50.
200kHz--30mHz, USB/LSB, wide/narrow filters, digital frequency, clock/timer
functions, in a rugged tabletop case. Models to look for include thr R1000 and
R600. Radio Shack DX302 is also a good choice. Analog radios include Radio
SHack DX-100, DX-160, DX-200. The last two have a decent bandspread for more
precise tuning.

Reportedly an excellent radio, however, the 305 lacks SSB (which was one

   Zoom Black Magic was the first pirate station to broadcast
openly in defiance of the FCC (in both Seaside and Fresno,
California) and even showed up once in the Arbitron ratings.
Zoom has had numerous run-ins with the FCC but is still on
the air semi-regularly in Fresno and, from time to time, in Los
Angeles.

Black Magic newsletter, just email back your postal address.

Great listing! could you provide the frequencies on which you find
this programming? I used to listen to R. Vlaanderen regularly, but
lost track of them.

Thanks.

Howdy,

If anyone wishes to hear what is _really_ happening in the world a sw
radio is a _must_.  If you are new to sw you have not yet come to
realize that the news that you get from the establishment media is
hardly _objective_.  Try listening regularly to the news via the BBC, as
just one example of a more accurate and less biased 'ear on the world".
Certainly there are more reasons to own and listen to sw, but if there
was no other reason that would suffice.quite nicely.

Cheers     :o)    cws

It should be noted that KGO has major nightime directional lobes to the
north-northwest and south-southeast, therefore they cover a good deal
of the west coast of North America, including baja and up to Alaska.
Within their single-hop skip distance, approx 1300 miles north and
south of Fremont, CA, where their 3 antenna masts are located, they are
exceptionally strong. Last august, I was in central washington state,
about 40 miles east of Ephrata, WA.  Ephrate had a daytimer on 810
(KTBI).  before KTBI signed off at sunset, KGO could clearly be heard
through KTBI in the background.

I've also listened to Dr. Bill Watenburg while in Fairbanks, AK last
Sept. with fairly good signals at times despite the aurora.

810, however, is also a 9Khz channel as well as 10 kHz, so they are not
a "split' frequency.  Also, KGO nulls pretty well toward the Pacific.
In hawaii, Fiji on 810 would often override KGO, especially at
locations facing toward the south pacific--this on better car radio's
and DX gear.

KGO fares very poorl;y toward the east.  by the time you're in in the
Inter-mountain region of the U.S. or in Saskatchewan 9to the
north-east, KGO is buried under the jumble.  These locations are in
KGO's nightime null.

Hello,
        Do you really mean 3 MHz.?  Officially VLF means transmissions below
30 kHz.  I have some information on transmissions and propagation
below 30 kHz if it is of interest.

Two weeks ago at 06:00 UTC (22:00 local) I decided to tune through the LF band
to see if anything interesting was coming in. I came across a hobbyist beacon
transmitting CW on 189 KHz. The beacon gave an address of 3472 Big Sky in
Thousand Oaks. I looked at the text twice.......the beacon is only 200 feet (6
0
mters) from my house!

This is quite a coincidence since there are very few hobbyist beacons in the
U.S. long wave experimenter's band (here in the U.S. you can transmit in the
190 KHz area without a license).

On a related topic, there's talk of making the LF experimenter's band an
official amateur radio band.

Here's an interesting technical problem: I have an old M-600 RTTY/CW/ARQ
TOR/FEC TOR decoder. The unit works very well. It has a serial port for sendin
g
text to a serial printer.

I have a 486 PC and Iwould like to take the serial output from the M-600 and
feed it into my PC so that I can store, edit, and print RTTY using my computer
.


The M-600 serial output is a simple two wire connection. It looks like all tha
t
I would have to do is feed the serial TTL signal into either the PC serial por
t
or comm port and use my HamComm RTTY/CW software to read the incoming signal a
s
ASCII and stor it to my hard drive.

Which port would I use and which wire would go to which pin on a DB-9 and D-29
connector? Is my idea feasible?

I have one of the older Versa Tuners IIs and use it on amateur radio.
The Q of the unit (Q is INVERSELY proportional to losses) can be
increased markedly by simply removing the top cover.  The inductor is too
close to metallic covers to perform at a high-Q.  Generally MFJ
equipment is "built on a budget".

Here are the English broadcast frequencies I have been able to hear in
the northeast U.S. over the past couple of months:

    7180        16:30 - 01:00  (May start earlier)
                04:00 - 05:00  (Spanish from 01:00 - 04:00)
    7125        23:00 - 02:00
    7105        22:30 - 05:00 or later  (VOA interferes 03:00 - 04:00)

What is the Russian Merchant Ship Database (RMSD)?  For those of you who
follow HF shipping communications, the RMSD is a database of ships (over 8000
of them!) in the Russian (or former Soviet Union) merchant shipping fleet.
For those of you who don't know, I have been following Russian shipping coms
for years and have for some time maintained a database of those ships.  The
database used to be called the USSR Merchant Ship List (UMSL).  I wrote a book
published by Universal Radio Research in 1991 by the same name, which some of
you may have.  Anyway, the RMSD is a follow-on to that book and I am now makin
g
that database available to those who are interested.  What kind of information
is in the new RMSD?  Some of the fields include: Call Sign, Ship Type, Year
Built, Home Port, Name, Gross Weight, and Log Date.  If you would like more
information on how to obtain a copy of the database, take a look at the RMSD
Press Release on the web at:

http://www.leonardo.net/berri/wun/files/rmsd/rmsd2pr.html

or send me email at:

and I will email you a copy.  Thanks for your attention.

SW Fantatics--

I've been hearing about a new SONY SW Radio (I believe it's called the
1000T) which is supposed to be the new upgrade from their SW100S (that
great, tiny portable from a year or two ago).  Anyone have any idea when
this new model's to be released?  Is the model number indeed the 1000T?
Any suggestions as to the best distributor from whom to buy one (I've
already talked with Gilfer, and they're not sure yet if they'll be
carrying it. . .).  Thanks.

I haven't listened recently but I recall that for a while RCI ran some
programs on 5960 at reduced power for an experimental period as
an ecoonomy measure to see how many complaints they got.

They could be doing that again.   If so we should compalin to RCI
and  NHK.

At about 2110 Z this afternoon (12/17/95), I was tuning around
6955 looking for pirates when I came to 6959 and heard, in
single-sideband, what sounded like a poor synthesized rendition
of circus calliope music.  This very shortly gave way to a numbers
broadcast by what seemed to be either a recorded or a very well
synthesized female voice with perhaps a faint British accent.
After just a minute or two of numbers, in groups of five, the
music returned for a few moments, followed by a tone, and then
the numbers resumed and continued until I got tired of listening
a few minutes later.

Is there actually a numbers broadcast with such a musical
introduction, or was there another station underneath it?
(If so, I could hear no trace of it when the numbers were on.)

The broadcast you heard was the "Lincolnshire Poacher" numbers station on
6959Khz. On that frequency it is usually very weak (here in Arizona
anyway) - if you want to to hear what it really sounds like, try 11545 or
13375, at 1400 and 1500UTC. The stations other frequencies are 5422, 5746,
6485, 6900, 7337, 7755, 8464, 9251, 14487, 15682, 16084, and 16457.

From your description, it sounds like you have snagged the Linconshire
Poacher!
Very famous numbers transmission.  If you have web access, check out Chris
Smolinski's web page at:

http://www.access.digex.net/~cps/numbers.html

It will tell you more about the Lincolnshire Poacher, as well as other
numbers stations.  (if you don't have web access, I'll see what else I
have to pass along to you about it.)

Nice catch!  Where are you located?  I live in Northern Alabama and never
have heard him, even with my 120 foot randomwire...

Ben

This is nothing new. As far back as the 70s, there were two numbers
stations on HF which used most characteristic interval signals for years.

One was a German 'speaking' station with a piano interval signal,
very remotely similar to Radio Ankara's sig tune, which used to be
transmitted for hours on end. Mind you, that was still in AM. No idea
if this was an excerpt from any classical piece, but I can still play
it back in my mind...

The other one was a four-tone sequence produced with a simple audio
generator. This was also on for a long time.

I suppose, in those days their agents were mostly using normal broadcast
receivers with analogue dials, and they needed the little bit of help for
spotting the correct frequency.

Ralf

Yes, I think that I can hear the same piano tune in my ears.

There was a German numbers station somewhere on 3.2 - 3.3 MHz (was it
3250 or 3255 kHz - I can't remember anymore) which used bell chimes
before numbers "programming". Stasi? This was years before the Wieder-
vereinigung. Does anybody have a recording of these bell chimes?

An old case: In the middle of the 60's or somewhere between years 1962 -
1965 (?) I heard a transmission which contained only an interpretation
of "Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me" sung by Shirley Bassey, repeated
endlessly. I was then a young boy, and now I can't remember if there
was any other programming after this non-stop kissing. Afterwards I
have thought that it perhaps was in connection with these numbers
stations. As far as I can remember the transmission took place some-
where between 6.2 and 7 MHz (out of the broadcasting bands) during
local evening hours. May be the transmission came from a location in
Europe? I can't remember what kind of antenna I used - probably just
a piece of wire connected to a domestic receiver.
Any other loggings of this oldie?

Nobody knows absolutely for certain. Popular opinion is that they are used
to communicate with operatives (spys) in the field from whatever country
they originate from.

Just looked at the little Sony SW100S and it sure is cute. But is it
usable as a serious receiver (cw and ssb) listening and tuning.
Already have a Sony SW7600 (early one) and it is just OK for SSB and
CW.  Don't expect it to perform like my ham transceivers, but don't
want to buy a $350 watch fob either.

    Thank you

In a relatated pirate on 1630 KHz.

Last evening I was looking for the new AM stations above 1600 Khz and
I heard the pirate RFM from about 0230 to 0245 UTC.  I don't know if
this started earlier.

The signal was very good for a pirate. They had the usual alternative
"commercials" and gave the Wellsville address for a QSL.

The probable cause is a defective external antenna connector on the radio.
 Most of these  connectors physically disconnect the telescoping antenna.
Since many of these connectors look similar you might have  the wrong male
connector on your ext. antenna.  If you have some repair experience you
may be able to fix it, if not take it to a repair shop.

How about putting this stuff up on the Internet in RealAudio format?  The
Carols won't sound very good, but the Queen's address should come over just
fine.

The filter for AM is 6khz.  The problem is this radio has really got too
much sensitivity and you have to do what hams have done for decades, turn
the volume way up and use the RF gain control for volume.  Otherwise,the
radio is super for CW, as it has 3 IF settings, one for AM, SSB and CW.

To be honest, it is like a super sensitive DX-390, problem with that is,
your image rejection goes down the higher your sensitivity is.  It simply
acts like a CB radio because it is that sensitive!

Years ago, I had the same problem with the Allied Radio Shack SX-190, now
people are clamoring for it.

If you are confined to an apartment and have to use the indoor antenna,
you'll be pleased.   The local hams in my area are eating them up!

Nope, got my own business, don't work for Tandy.

From the posts I've read so far about the DX-394, it seems that the '394
occupies the same relative position in todays table-top market as did its
predecessor, the DX-302, during its time 12 years ago. According to QST
the DX-302 had a third-order intercept point of -71.5 dBm!  Ouch!!!

I just heard on CBC's "World Report" that RCI may possibly continue
operations.  Other ways of funding it was suggested....

According to CBC Newsworld 12/19/95.

Radio Canada International has a 50/50 chance of being saved,
according to Marcel Masse , suggesting that the funding might
come from other departments. This would enable RCI to remain
on the air.

Sounds like OTTAWA is getting a lot of noise about this
keep up the good work!

Did you notice it was the government itself that mentioned that it
"might not be able to follow-through" on its plans to close the
service completely because of that provision of the Act.

I agree with you, what they are doing is giving themselves
an out in case they decide they need it - and also so that
they can try to force the CBC to pay for at least part of it.

If they decided they really did want to shut down all of RCI,
you're right they could amend the Act in a heartbeat.   Or
continue to fund some miniscule international broadcasting
activity since the Act does not specify how much.  Or leave
it up to the CBC itself and we know where that would lead.

So I think that in citing that provision, the government is
telegraphing that it is really open to a compromise on the
issue.

I was under the impression that WRN already carried programming from
Radio Canada International (they certainly used to on the European
Service).

Of course, if so, that leads to another question regarding the terms
of the contract under which WRN receive RCI and if a closedown on 31
March 1996 would be a breach of that contract - somehow I doubt it.

I notice that the postings on RCI seem to be getting a bit more
positive these last couple of days due to the Canadian Broadcasting
Act (of 1991 I think the postings say) defining an International Radio
Service role which only RCI can fill (unless they start with a brand
new service which, by definition, would be expensive to set up and
therefore contrary to the stated reason for the closure).

Ever get the feeling that this whole issue is political rather than
economic in motivation.

OK, its a relatively easy option to repeal that part of the Act
defining this role - but surely they would have thought of that before
making the announcement and incorporated a statement to that effect in
it. After all, isn't that what Civil Servants are meant to check...and
get paid to do!!!

 Mike,

        I managed a QSL out of Jordan back in 1993. Took a few days over a
 year (including a follow-up report along the way) to get back an almost
 full-data card...they forgot a portion of the frequency!

        From recollections reading bulletins, like some stations, they
 QSL when the mood strikes them. I've been back at college pursuing another
 degree, so haven't kept up with the current happenings.

        Hope this helps.

Yes, I started SWLing in 1968 and RCI was one of the first
stations I listened to.

I received Maple Leaves until 1971 when I dropped SWLing in
favor of college requirements.The DX Club was quite a big thing
back then with RCI. I will miss those great programs !

   Pete,
        I keep reading these claims of "estimated listeners." Since
   there's no organization (like Arbitron for broadcasting) that actually
   surveys the world, how can anyone say how many listeners a station may
   have. Recently, someone posted a message saying that some radio
   preacher had "millions" of listeners. As far as I can tell, the only
   way to claim any thing is to show a doubter a file of listener letters.
   You can't even realistically say that each letter represents x number
   of people.

        The best thing RCI could have done would have been to announce
   that their services were ending. Ask listeners to send letters. If
   there was an avalanche of actual listener letters (not form letters) it
   would be very clear the service had value. I believe RCI is a wonderful
   service that enhances my respect for the people of Canada. Listeners
   are what's important, not union jobs. They could save electricity and
   parcel out that $16 million to the 120 employees every year, if jobs
   were all that mattered, and be done with it.

         Listeners are the only group that can keep RCI alive.

Pete,
     I keep reading these claims of "estimated listeners." Since
there's no organization (like Arbitron for broadcasting) that actually
surveys the world, how can anyone say how many listeners a station may
have. Recently, someone posted a message saying that some radio
preacher had "millions" of listeners. As far as I can tell, the only
way to claim any thing is to show a doubter a file of listener letters.
You can't even realistically say that each letter represents x number
of people.

     The best thing RCI could have done would have been to announce
that their services were ending. Ask listeners to send letters. If
there was an avalanche of actual listener letters (not form letters) it
would be very clear the service had value. I believe RCI is a wonderful
service that enhances my respect for the people of Canada. Listeners
are what's important, not union jobs. They could save electricity and
parcel out that $16 million to the 120 employees every year, if jobs
were all that mattered, and be done with it.

      Listeners are the only group that can keep RCI alive.

Well, "santa-wife" was good to me this year, after making the mistake of
asking "what do you want for christmas?".

I told her.  :-)

I now have a Radio Shack DX-394 which I have been playing with to see
what I could do with it.  It does seem better and somewhat more sensitive
and selective than my older DX-440, and a darned sight easier to operate.

Best improvement over the DX-440, IMHO - sideband tuning is considerably
improved.  Next best improvement is that the tuning knob seems quite
smooth to me, and tuning seems fairly clean.  I also greatly prefer
the ability to manually adjust the tuning step, as opposed to the
"how fast can you spin the knob" approach......

AND - it holds memories even with no power connected, allegedly via
a rechargeable internal battery according to the manual.  Nice touch.

Wonder if anyone else has gotten one of these, and what their impressions
were?

you can email or post here if you like...

What is the general opinion concerning the merits of the Grundig Satellite
700 vs. the Sony ICF-2010 for portable shortwave operation?  I am more
interested in sensitivity, selectivity, and noise rejection than I am in
high fidelity audio.


Thanks.

The SW-77 has been reviewed as inferior to the 2010 in PWBR.

The 2010 sync detector is superior to the 700.

From your criteria, you most likely will be scanning or manually
hunting for new stations.

The 2010 has little chugging and scans OK. The 700 has horrible
chugging and actually shuts off the audio when going to fast.

You be the judge.

I have tried several SW radios in my car including a
Nordmende (? spelling) which is designed for in-car use.
It has a separate antenna input and a button marked AUTO

However, the best results I got was from a SW converter and
my Blaupunkt car radio. I used both the car antenna and a CB
antenna with not much difference. The CB was just a bit better.
I guess it depends on how good the car antenna is.

The results I got were comparable to by DX 440 with its whip.

The converter was not the best design, but it worked. I got crystals
cut for the two bands I used, 49m and 31m. This way I could relate
the radio scale to the received frequency with good accuracy.

I heard this station last weekend while on a DXpedition To Gifford
Pinchot Park. Its a harmonic from Radio Revalacion in the Dominican
Republic. Heard them on Dec 15 sign on at 0953 with National Anthem,
opening anouncements with many mentions of Puerto Plata, and ID's.

Funny, my local Ham Radio Outlet has them on the shelf for $429.00.
Granted not the cheapest place on earth to buy, but not unreasonable.  Did
you get yours gray market, or what.  Local swap net activity says I'm
slightly high of nominal.  To others interested in buying, you are free to
make a lower offer.

The tuning is in 50 Hz steps, not 100Hz.

How to use the SW-77 when changing the 'On the Air' times:

Save a frequency in a name slot (1 of 5 on a page)
select that frequency and put it in the edit mode.
edit the times and re enter.

OOPS!! you made a mistake on one of the times.

back in the edit mode, set the times to the same time, say 0000u.
re-enter, edit mode again, correct times, re-enter.  No problem!
.......unless there are ten frequencies in the name slot in which case
you must delete the frequency altogether if there is a mistake in the
time.  (this makes sense as why would you be alowed to enter
(re-enter) a frequency if there is no space for it.)

 This is about the most confusing thing on the radio.  I haven't looked
 at the manual since the day I got it and that is why I can use it.
 With this radio, you can't memorize the steps.  You must learn to
think like the spank who designed the OS.

Good sensitivity and selectivity.

Annoying user interface that, in trying to be smart, ends up just being a
nuisance (i.e. it changes modulation modes as you scan the 41m band).

Not particularly efficient with batteries.

No synchronous detector; quite a deficiency given the cost.

Many samples have an unstable BFO ("pulling") which causes changes in
pitch on the modulation peaks of strong signals. This is a longstanding
systematic Sony design problem that they still refuse to acknowledge.

I couldn't get rid of my SW-55 fast enough.

If you don't need the alphanumeric station stuff, the 7600G or YB-400 cost
a whole lot less, and offer performance at least in the same league.

I have a Sony 7600G and a SW-55. The performance of the SW-55 is much
better than the 7600G, I've compared them side by side with both the
radio's telescopic antenna and my long wire antenna.   I also like all of
the "bells and whistles" on the 55. Sony has discontinued the 55 and price
of the remaining radio's have been reduced.

My SW 100 will go into major distortion bordering on feedback howl if I
turn the speaker up full blast.  At lower volume levels, the acoustic
output from the speaker  just causes FM in the oscillator and resultant
instability which is a real hassle when copying SSB.  I returned the set
and the replacement (with a diff serial no) exhibited exactly the same
behavior.  Using headphones helps, but any mechanical acceleration of the
rcvr causes a shift in the received freq.  Would make a good  audible
accelerometer, but I bought it to receive.  Am I unlucky or are all SW
100s microphonic?

I think the Sony SW-77 has better Synchronous detection and better IF
stages and filters than the Grundig 700. However the Grundig has more
memories if you need more than 160

Hi

Hope have your opinions about using Sony 7600G and Datong AD-270.
The main reason to use Datong is that I can use my antenna on the
balcony, where there is much less steel from the construction of the
house.

I live in Finland and so far I have heard only 5 Latin America stations.
More gain won't do. So is Sony uncapable or what?

Please help me, I'm going to loose my interest in SWL.

Thanks

Matti

First let me say that I am both an amateur radio operator and an SWL.
The December 1995 issue of QST (an American amateur radio publication)
mentions on p.9 that "The provisional WRC-99 agenda includes the
possibility of increasing the available spectrum for HF broadcasting,
particularly between approximately 4 and 10 MHz."  The WRC meetings are
the ITU international conferences where the frequency allocations for the
users of the radio spectrum are determined.  But then I read how major HF
broadcasters such as the VOA are having their budget cut and others such
as RCI are leaving HF as governments seem to believe sattelites and the
internet can take over for HF broadcasting.  And wasn't there a movement
to go to SSB for HF broadcasting sometime after the year 2000?  So if SWBC
spectrum is increased, who would use it?

At 11:30 am Pacific Standard Time on 12.160 I heard RTE in L.A.

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about RTE actually being heard
in Calif.  It turns out my digital dak radio (the subject of another
thread) did have short wave bands.  Despite a widely circulated
apparently wrong frequency (corrected on r.r.s) and times that were not
Pacific Standard Time...I did hear RTE today!  We do have a short weekly
news from Ireland on station KIEV (870 on the AM dial) some time between
3:05 and 4:00 pm Sundays.  It is telephoned to the station and usually
appears half way through the Irish Hour program.  The Tennessee station
came in faintly on my radio and reception was improved when I touched
the extended antenna.  When I held the antenna to a TV rabbit ear
antenna reception was even better!  Is this low tech, or what?

After the broadcast I was presented with an early Christmas present of
a Radio Shack indoor short-wave antenna with some kind of booster.  This
will be tried soon.  I will tell all the Irish expatriates I know about this.

As a novice shortwave listener, I have a couple questions. Maybe someone can h
elp me out?

        1. Whats the difference between UTC and GMT? I'm in New Jersey (EST),
             so a UTC time of 0500 would be 0000 my time (-5 hours).
             What's GMT?

        2. What is DXing (DXer, etc...)? A ham radio guy? shortwave broadcaster, what
?

GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the old/traditional name for what is now known as

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).  They are the same time meridian -- that of
Greenwich, England.

>       2. What is DXing (DXer, etc...)?

DX is shorthand for distance reception (or attempted reception) -- reciept of
stations that are a long ways away and which are, due to their power output,
therefore difficult to recieve.

> A ham radio guy?

Someone who has passed the appropriate exams administered by the FCC (in the
U.S.), and is a licensed amateur radio operator.  Amateur radio operators are
permitted to transmit in certain portions of the shortwave radio spectrum (
3MHz -- 30MHz).

> shortwave broadcaster, what?

An individual or organization which transmits, but which does not receive
others' transmissions -- which exists to provide one-way communications from
the broadcaster to the listener.  Amateur radio operators (at least in the
US), are required to engage in two-way communications, and are therefore
prohibited from broadcasting.

I noticed that others have replied, giving the real meat of the
answer to your question, even so I think I have a little more to
contribute to the discussion.

The UTC time and the UTC date are the same everywhere, worldwide.
"The Passport to Worldband Radio" expressed it very well, by
writing that UTC makes the world one big time zone.  Since the
USA National Bureau of Standards and the USA Naval Observatory keep
time in UTC, UTC can be thought of as one of the official times of
the USA.  Since UTC is the time used on all space probes, UTC can
be thought of as being (relativity considerations aside) the same
everywhere that human beings probe into the universe.  Days and
times given in shortwave schedules (unless the schedule
specifically says otherwise) are UTC days and UTC times.

The relationship to UTC, of the two _local_ times commonly used in
New Jersey is given by:

               Eastern Standard Time = UTC-5:00
               Eastern Daylight Time = UTC-4:00

The time that it will be in New Jersey at three UTC times during
New Year's Eve and New Years Day are:

When it is 19:01 December 31, 1995 UTC, the time in New Jersey will
be:
     UTC = 19:01 December 31, 1995  [The same as UTC EVERYWHERE]
     EST = 19:01-05:00 = 14:01 = 2:01 PM  ** December 31, 1995 **

When it is 00:01 January 1, 1996 UTC, the time in New Jersey will
be:
     UTC = 00:01 January 1, 1996    [The same as UTC EVERYWHERE]
     EST = 00:01-05:00 = 19:01 = 7:01 PM  ** December 31, 1995 **

When it is 05:01 January 1, 1996 UTC, the time in New Jersey will
be:
      UTC = 05:01  January 1, 1996  [The same as UTC EVERYWHERE]
      EST = 05:01-05:00 = 00:00 = 12:01 AM  ** January 1, 1996 **

GMT is Greenwich Mean Time. For all practical (i.e. non-scientific)
purposes, UTC is exactly the same.

GMT is also used as standard time in the UK, but some stupid
politicians want to put Britain permanently onto the same time zone as
mainland Europe, i.e. GMT+1 in winter, GMT+2 in summer.

VOA Russian Launches its First Live Call-In Program

Washington, D.C., Dec. 15, 1995 -- Russian listeners
had their first chance yesterday to talk live with VOA
Russian Branch host Vladimir Matlin and his guests,
Dimitry Simes and Leon Aron, during the first live
broadcast of a Russian-language call-in show in VOA's
history.  Callers throughout Russia phoned VOA collect
to discuss Sunday's Russian parliamentary elections.

Mr. Simes is president of the Nixon Center for Peace
and Freedom, and Mr. Aron is with the American
Enterprise Institute.  During the program, host
Vladimir Matlin and his guests answered questions from
callers in Moscow, Rostov, Volgrograd, Penza, Rostov on
the Don, and Nizhni Novgorod.

Radio Baltica in St. Petersburg, Radio Sibiri in
Novosibirsk, Radio Rendezvous in Nizhni Novgorod, Radio
Rostov in Rostov on Don, and Radio Vedo in Volgograd--
five VOA Russian Branch affiliate stations--also
simulcast the broadcast.  Each station broadcast a two-
minute, on-the-scene report about the elections in
their cities.

The Voice of America is the international radio service
of the U.S. Information Agency, broadcasting almost 900
hours a week in English plus 46 other languages.  VOA
broadcasts six hours of direct shortwave and three-and-
a-half hours of satellite-delivered Russian language
programming daily.

External Affairs, at 202 619 2538.

9760 at this time is currently from Kavala.  The shift from Morocco to
Kavala probably occurred not long before the start of the W-95
schedule went into effect, long after Passport went to press.

The folks doing the QSLs are usually pretty accurate.  I give them a
detailed schedule at the start of a season and update it periodically.

Yes, I admit it!  I couldn't resist the advertisement that I saw in the
latest issue of the FRENDX Journal!  I called Universal Radio and
ordered ... the cheap Kchibo SW receiver!

I just got it today!  Has anyone else seen and/or used this radio?
The model number is KK-210B.  The manual (or should I say the
one-page sheet) is written in Chinese, as is the warranty card.

It is extremely hard to figure out which band and frequency you're
tuned to ... the controls are quite small and flimsy.  BUT, for a
cheap SW portable to take to work and leave on your desk, I'm
pretty pleased with my US$19 investment!

I have had several and based on that, I'd say the Drake R8A is the
best bang for the buck out there.

(snip)

The regulation you quote, 47 CFR Sec. 73.788, contains
admonitions regarding the types of advertising that may be
programmed on the shortwave outlets.  In short, advertising
has to be directed at the foreign audience.  That would seem
to point to an economic motivation, i.e. prevention of a
single country-wide station from competing with the new,
powerful networks.  If a single station could reach the
entire country, the value of the networks could easily be
undermined by such an upstart.  I think the networks must
have lobbied this provision into the law to protect their
own positions.

Of course today there is no logical reason to keep this
provision with the proliferation of communications media.
Unless we just want to keep parts of the spectrum, like the
tropical bands, available for use by countries where
atmospheric noise and jungle absorption make the MW
frequencies of limited utility.

        The question is "Where have you been???". Do the callsigns WWCR, WRNO,mean an
ything
to you. These are domestic sw stations serving an American and foreign audienc
e. And
there commercial too. Why doesn't your station try that rather than milking th

This station is a local to me. They sign off the air about 0300z and
simulcast their 1530 KHz. outlet until its daytime hours end (around
2015z). They appear to be on 1660 for good!

They must have a very powerful station(50KW) and antenna, I can
even hear them on my homebrew broadband magnetic indoor loop !
The point is that I live in Duisburg, Germany :-)
Their signal is usually the very strongest on the MW band from
entrire North America and they are lucky because 1510 kc is
relatively quite over here in Europe.

Merry Christmas and all the best for 1996,

I suspect WNRB probably has more listeners in Europe than it does here
in Boston!  Locally, their signal is very strong towards the city
of Boston itself and to the north, but quite poor to the west and
south.  I live just a few km from their transmitter, here in the
city of Waltham, Mass., but fortunately I am in their null and able
to hear plenty on 1500 and 1520 at night.

You can find photos of the WNRB transmitter site and much else that's
related to Boston radio at:

ftp://radio.lcs.mit.edu/radio/bostonradio.html

That's the Boston Radio Archives web site, which I help maintain.

The WRTH is published by Billboard in the USA, it should be published
around the end of December.

We folk over in Europe should see it late January/early February.

The Yaesu FRG-100 wide AM filter is 6 KHz, however it, at least in my radio,
displays poor selectivity, insofar as the filter's bandwidth is 18 KHz @
-50db.  I'd recommend that your friend use the Kiwa 6MHz 455 KHz I.F.
replacement filters instead. I know that these are available from Universal
Radio, and I'm sure at other SWL mail order firms, such as Gilfer, EEB, etc..

The FRG-100B model did (to the best of my knowledge) remedy the selectivity
problems with this filter, so your friend might also check with Yaesu to see
if they can upgrade it.  Other than the filter selectivity, the Yaesu is a
good radio for the money.

Well, it is a so-called Romance language, but unless I'm wrong it is
RVC-Radio Vision Christiana which normally broadcasts in Spanish from
Turks&Caicos Islands. HOWEVER
There is a multi-language station in Toronto on 530 kHz which I've heard
with odd languages including Hindi.
The Island of Grenada has an AM station on 535 kHz, but mostly in English.
The 532 RVC station uses a modulation method that puts most (90%) of the
audio in the upper sideband, so it may appear to be in 533 kHz.
Not a bad catch!

I was listening to a station on 7235 KHz at 0410 GMT on Dec. 26, 1995
(In nothern California).  The language spoken was very interesting,
but not one I could recognize (such as Russian, German, French,
Spanish).  Nevertheless, it seemed to be a European language.  This
frequency didn't show up in any of my lists.

Anyone know what station I was listening to?

Btw, obviously, I'm new to DXing.  What is the correct way to go about
finding out the country of origin for a station speaking a language
you don't understand?  Are there any electronic lists of freqs that
are searchable?

Thanks in advance!

Here in Northern California I heard the signal loud and clear. It
covered Radio Exterior de Espana on 9540 at about 0145 Tues (UTC).

I have heard what I assumed to be jamming before on this frequency,
intended target Radio Marti no doubt, but this noise was new and
much worse.

=========================
Hi, Nic...
The idea behind an active antenna is that most of us don't have the space
for an array of beverage antennas.
An active antenna works because it will amplify anything that enters its
own antenna, and pass that amplified signal on to the radio it's connected
to. This means that a signal that's too faint to hear directly fron an
antenna, might be listenable from, the active antenna.
A problem is that the active antenna will amplify *everything* that enters
its antenna, including all noise. In other words, an active antenna will
not help much to get rid of any interference a regular antenna gets.
Active antennas can be a great help for those who simply can't, for
whatever reason, put up any kind of effective non-amplified antenna. Some
apartment dwellers are in this position, for example. Also, for camping or
travelling, an active antenna can be a very attractive alternative to
putting up a wire antenna.
Hope this helps.

Bill Funk

Yup!

What is the whole rationale behind active antennas. Why do the work?
Any pointer to a weeb site or explanation would be great...

I use a Heathkit HD 1424 active antenna to punch up the performance of
my venerable old Lafayette HA 600A.  The active antenna has an RF
amplifier and adjustable frequency selector, also an RF gain control.
It has rear apron connections for a short telescoping whip antenna,
end fed wire, or coax feed.  It passes signals straight thorugh when
turned off, and gives cnsiderable amplification when switched on .  I
don't have the specs in front of me at the moment, but I can tell you
that with the indoor wire I'm presently using, the active antenna will
make barely readable signals clearly audible.  I've used it for
broadcast band DXing as well as general SWL.

In fact, a GOOD active antenna does not (and should not ) amplify the
signal for not to deteriorate the IM-performance. An active antenna is
an impedance matching device between a high (usually capacitive)
impedance of a short antenna and the low input impedance (e.g. 50 Ohm)
of a receiver. So, the simplest active antenna is a FET in the common
drain (source follower) configuration with ashort whip connect to the
gate.

  It's probably not an urban legend.  Any corroded connection

crystal sets.  (Hey, I can hear KDKA!)

Yes, I listen to the net here in Florida at 1500UT on 7240lsb.  When band
conditions are good I can hear maybe half the check-ins.  Sometimes there's
splatter from nearby frequencies in use.  It's especially helpful when the
net controller repeats the logs.

Some time ago, I asked here for suggestions on how ot get European
(Eastern European) stations in USA (Boston). Quite a few people
tried to help, with directions on how to make an antenna for my
Sony ICF-SW7600G (FM stereo/SW/MW/LW, PLL synthesized world band
receiver).  As time shows, I can not follow their recomendations
myself ): I am not a radio specialist personally. So, I guess, I'll
need to buy an antenna and enjoy fruits like warranty and technical
support (: Here I am with the <subject>...  Thank you very much!

: It's sole purpose was political propaganda. Same with Radio Habana and
: most Middle Eastern broadcasters. Shortwave is much more than the
: discussion of which radio is best.

: --
Let me make a suggestion here, to take as you see fit.

This newsgroup is primarily about the radio hobby.  You can hear all
kinds of things on  shortwave radio, from politics to music.  Now,
suppose I heard, say, Maria Callas records on RAI from Italy.  If I
wanted to mention Callas with a comment on the station's programming, as
a detail of my DX catch, or whatever that might be related to radio as
such, I would do it here.  That is because programming, loggings and such
are part of this newsgroup.  However, if the main purpose of my posting was
to talk about the merits of Callas as a singer, I would take the posting
to an appropriate group, such as rec.music.opera or
alt.fan.maria-callas.    It's not that  politics is never discussed on
radio, and *if* it ties in with programming or with broadcasting (e.g. the
politics behind the problems with Radio Canada International, or the
politics relating to a station's programming, etc.), then I certainly don't
object to its being here on r.r.s.  However, if the *main purpose* of a
posting  is political, musical, or anything else  that's not related to
the radio  hobby or to broadcasting, I suggest that it is considerate to
others to take it either to an appropriate newsgroup or to e-mail.  This is no
t
censorship, or being a "net nanny" or "den mother"; it is merely keeping
in mind that the topic of this group is radio, and when one posts something
to this group, it should have something to do with the topic.  I saw the
original posting, which was a posting of political opinion that had no
references to shortwave radio or to broadcasting, and it simply did not
belong here; it should have been in a political newsgroup, of which there
are plenty. The original poster has a right to any political opinion, but
it is a kindness to others to post it where it belongs.

In sum, I support the right of people to say what they wish, but I
suggest this: unless mentions of ANY non-radio topic tie in somehow to
the topic of this newsgroup, they should be taken to an appropriate forum
elsewhere. As my grandmother used to say, and she was a wise woman,
"There is a time and a place for everything!"

I hope that this is taken in the intended spirit, which is not one of
censorship, but one of trying to do something about off-topic postings
for the sake of all of us in this newsgroup.

73 and Happy New Year--

I, myself have been quietly sitting back and paging past this stuff in my
newsreader.  It's time...

Marie's 100% right.  It's time this junk is moved to the place it
belongs.  This area's been one of the best "self-moderated" shortwave
areas I've seen in quite a while.  However, it's almost beginning to look
like moderation is required.

Did anyone see anything in the name of this newsgroup that has anything
to do with politics?  If so, there must be a job waiting for you in the
federal government (specifically in congress or the executive branch).
Wake up, shut-up, get a life and go away unless you have something to
say about radios, radio signals, programs, etc.  There are lots of
appropriate places for fanatical political rantings.  Kindly take them
there.

PREDICAMENT: HK has only 1 English station (then in reality half of the
dialect is in Chinese).

OBJECTIVE: 1) I wanted to explore other avenues for getting additional
English broadcasts.  2) I am originally from the Philippines and was
wondering if there is a way I could receive broadcasts from home.

Frankly not aware if shortwave is best medium or not.  Also do not know
what receptions available in HK.

WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR: Have browsed and read FAQ on shortwave and also
read through earlier articles in newsgroup to get better idea.  Will try
to get copy of suggested books, "Passport fo World Band Radio" and
"Shortwave Radio Listening For Beginners".

Could you make recommendations/suggestions?  Do you also know of people
in HK who I can possibly contact to actually see equipment to get a
better feel and understanding?

Thanks.

ED

Hi Ed,

I'm also from the Philippines, also "hungry" for news from home. Sometimes I
can hear Radio Veritas and FEBC Shortwave programs here in Toronto but the
noise level is often "extreme" it can put one to sleep.In  Hong Kong it may
not be a problem because of the proximity to PI.

I can only suggest that you buy a really good portable receiver like the
Grundig or the Sony lines. The better ones are of course the standard
communication receivers like Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, etc. , more expensive
but........ they're usually very good. You'll also need & very important  - a
good Antenna - outside of the building and as long as possible.

Mabuhay !


Ben

Hi, Ed

Also contact the Hong Kong Amateur Radio Association, they'll be able to help
you since they are familiar with the receiving conditions there.

My most reliable and readable "home news " source is Radio Australia at 9580
Khz. evey morning. They often have news about PI.

Good Day !

Finally the day has come : the new Website of Radio Vlaanderen
Internationaal, BRTN's world service, is on line since December 1.  The
old Website was refurnished and contains a wealth of information on RVI,
its 50th anniversary, programmes, reception, International Listener's
Club and much more.  RVI also puts you on the way to a series of
interesting Websites.
Information on our Website is available in six languages : Dutch,
French, German, Enlish, Spanish and Arabic.

Shortly you will be able to read the RVI news on our Website, or listen
to it via Real Audio.

It is worth your while to call on

I was lucky enough to fnd a used one locally (checked the local FOR
SALE Usenet group) and love it.  Esp. since I paid just a little over
$200 for it.

Since reading about the problems with using the ext ant jack, I have
been hesitant to use it.  Someone said they thought Sony fixed the
problem some years back, but I have no evidence of that.

Seems to me I read somewhere that Harris Corporation of Melbourne, FL
makes a radio used by the Navy that can move duplex signals at 9600 baud
over HF.  Don't know if civilians can buy them or how much they cost.  If
you find out let me know.

Good Luck

   First get rid of the RFI from the computer.  Move the computer away
from the antenna, or vice versa.  Connect the radio through coaxial
cable to an antenna a distance from the computer.
   There are free-ware programs to decode CW with simple or no interfaces.
There are several commercial sources of decoders for many kinds of
digital (which includes CW) radio signals from AEA, Kamtronics, Universal
and others, many of whom advertise in QST, 73, CQ and other magazines.

The Radio Shack unit is now discounted to 49 bucks and, at that price, is
worth getting.  It is very touchy as to audio input levels, but once you
get the level right it can work miracles at remaoving hetrodyne
interference.  It will not reduce random noise.  I used it to obtain
perfect copy on a utility SSB transmission that was totally blocked by a
hetrodyne.  Went from unreadable to perfect intelligibility.  I paid 89
for mine and although I wish I had waited until it went on close-out, it
has been a useful accessory.  I recommenbd it despite the lukewarm
reviews others have given it.  Remember value is a ratio between price
and benefits.

DSPs aren't the end-all and cure-all.  If your radio's AVC pumps up
and down when listening to a weak station near a strong broadcaster,
for example, or strong local stations bleed through everywhere, then
the DSP can't really help.  On the other hand, they can go a long way
towards reducing ear fatigue by reducing noise and notching out
heterodynes.

regards,
Ross

last few days, using a Sangean ATS-803A receiver. All dates and times in
UTC.

PIRATE RADIO INSANITY 3 PROMOTION, 6955 ssb, 12/23, 0246-0251, SIO=444.
Kept repeating "Pirate Radio Insanity 3" in a reverb voice over eerie
music and sound effects. Said once, "It's not at all what you expect this
year." (PRI is a yearly free radio series of broadcasts that takes place
on New Year's Eve night.)

KDED, 6955 ssb,12/23,0300-0331, SIO=444. First 18 minutes was PRI3 promo,
then 2 songs, then last three minutes was PRI3 promo.

KIWI,12/24, 0606-0829, 7445 ssb, SIO=333. A popular New Zealand pirate.
X-mas music, pop music, talk about the A*C*E newsletter. I called the
phone number they were announcing and talked in person to THE MAN, Graham
Barclay. He said that the show was now on computer, that's why he could
talk to me during the program. He told me some things about their
broadcasting equipment, surprised their signal reached the U.S.A. that
early, told me not to drink and drive during the holidays. Heard my name
over the air a little while later. Possibly broadcasting in AM at 0803,
competing well with the signal from an Asian station on the same frequency
starting about 0805, heard clear ID at 0829.

As an FRG-100 owner I would also concur with Andrew's assesment of
the radio's broadcast sound quality.  Yes, the speaker in the
FRG-100 blows, plus it is up-facing, and it can resonate inside the
cabinet.  I quickly went out and got a halfway decent 4" extension
speaker from Radio Slack and things sound much better on AM.

Not sure if Andrew was referring to audio quality or the radio's
general ability to pick up AM broadcast, but wondering if synchronous
detection would have helped any.  Listening Yaesu?

Agree wholeheartedly with the recommendation to get an external speaker from
RadShack for the FRG-100 - it helps the audio of the receiver immensely.

As far as the receiver itself, I find that for everything but music, the
nominal 6 KHz wide AM filter is a bit too wide - it picks up a good bit too
much interference on crowded bands.  I find the audio quality and slectivity
optimum with the AM narrow (nominally 4 KHz) filter set.  I don't listen to
much music, though, so filter bandwidth and high fidelity aren't a big problem

for me.

As for the FRG-100 doing better than the Sangean, I'd say that it definitely
does so - I'd owned the RadShack DX-390 previously, and found that the
receiver was far to susceptible to intermod and picked up far more hash from
my computer than I could tolerate.  Also, if I'm not mistaken, the FRG is
considerably more sensitive than the Sangean, so you stand a much better
chance of picking up the weak stations, given an RF-quiet environment.

Cheers

No sale. It suggests that our servicemen would allow themselves to be
used as storm troopers. If some jerk wants to insult Clinton, fine.
Just don't make it a blanket attack on miltary personnel.

FUEHRER CLINTON MOVES STORM TROOPERS INTO THE BALKANS!


Hitler did it in the 1930s!
Fuehrer Clinton does it again in the 1990s!

---
Hitler:  Nazionalsocialistische Deutsche ArbeiterPartei (NSDAP)
Clinton: National Socialist Democratic Workers Party (NSDWP)
---

NAZI = the national federal government is supreme over ANY person!
NAZI = the national federal government is supreme over ANY other
       nation!

(  REMEMBER!  Hitler was an extreme left-winger!                 )
(             -NOT- a right-winger.. like most liberals tend to  )
(             believe!       National Socialists!                )

And then, there's those NAZI-style helmets too!

Tell us about it when he rounds up over six million people

I'm not much of a fan of [e-mail] but maybe, perhaps,
this is HYPERBOLE? Also, if you want good metaphors for sending soldiers
into the Balkans leading to tragedy, try World War I.

(A Serbian nut killed Archduke Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo which
led to war between Austria and Serbia. Germany came in on the side of
Austria and Russia came in on the side of Serbia. Eventually, there were
millions of rotting bodies on the fields of Europe and the governments
of Germany, Austria, Russia and  Turkey, among others, had collapsed.)


Also, maybe, perhaps, rec.radio.shortwave should be for shortwave radio?
Maybe soc.culture.french should be for stuff having to do with the
culture of France and the French? Maybe soc.culture.italian should be
for Italy and the Italians? What the fuck do your messages have to do
with any of these? There are plenty of news groups with "politics" in
their name. My server carries almost 16000 newsgroups! Some of them are
empty and some of them seem to have nothing but chain letters, but there
are still plenty of newsgroups available for idiotic political rantings.

Clinton isn't a Hitler. He's only incompetent.

American troops are not "storm troopers."

Lastly, get a life, an education and take your comments to an appropriete

$50 is a good price for a NEW Superradio III.  It's an excellent low-cost
radio for AM DX'ing if you don't mind analog tuning.  FM DX'ing is OK,
but not spectacular.  Sound quality, overall, is excellent.

Look at stores like Service Merchandise, Lowe's Building Centers, Best
Buy, K-Mart, Sears, and Target to find one.

Thats a tad high. $40 is a good price for a SRIII. I got mine for
$37 on sale last year at Best Buy.

Can I ground my radio through the ground circuit in an ordinary 110-volt
electrical outlet?  It somehow doesn't seem exactly kosher, and I don't
think I have ever seen it mentioned in a book anywhere, but since the
house elec. system is itself grounded by a clamp to a cold water pipe,
wouldn't running my ground circuit to the ground conductor in the nearest
junction box be equivalent to (and more convenient than) running it to a
cold water pipe?

Appreciate any insights on this.  Please post here and, if convenient,
please also e-mail me.

Hi Art,

Two reasons that the AC-wiring ground is less than ideal are:

            - Long runs of #14 (or sometimes #16) wire are
              involved.

            - AC-wiring uses "wire-nut" connectors which are less
              than ideal at radio frequencies.

But what the heck, our receivers and antennas are less than ideal.

From a *PRACTICAL* point of view, an AC-connector ground is one of
the easiest (if not the easiest) to try, in a house IN THE USA.

IF YOU'RE CERTAIN THAT YOU *KNOW* WHICH AC LINE PLUG PIN IS GROUND,
simply slip a 1.5" or longer 10-32 or a 10-24 machine screw (from
your local hardware store) into the *small round* pin of a wall
electrical outlet.  Then, you can use a clip lead (from Radio Shack
or wherever) to make the connection to your receiver.  The scheme
I've described is less than ideal, but if my scheme works for you,
use it.  If you're not satisfied with the scheme, *then* you can
try something else, like a cold water pipe connection or a ground
rod.

Good luck,

  -- Dan

Surely that should read "will retail at about 1,000 DM " ... As it
hasn't yet been released.

Having been delayed *several* times, last date I heard from Grundig was
May 96 [though someone has since posted in this newsgroup that August
1996 is the new date] ...

Cool down. I expect the new Satellite 900 not before summer on the market
and the receiving-performance will be no great step forward compared with the
700, which is quite a radio.

Huh? I merely mentioned a Sony alternative. Sangean had been making the
Radio Shack/Realistic line. Do they still do?Just believe that in the
under $200 price range a person should also strongly consider the Sony
7600 G because it has synchronous detection.

 I travel for a living and enjoy listening to shortwave radio in the
evenings. For almost three years now I have owned a Radio Shack DX-380
and I decided I wanted a radio that had SSB. So I bought a Grundig YB400
based on the *rave* reviews I had read.
 I must say that I find the Grundig to be a disappointment. The DX-380
sounds much better, better bass response, smother overall sound, and
better intelligilibity when listening to weak signals. The DX-380 also
has better sensitivity.
 That said, the YB400 has an illuminated controll panel. And it's
intelligent frequency buttons are nice. But in scan mode, it's
pathetically slow, nowhere near the DX-380.
 Mabey I just got a lemon, but I think the YB400 is *highly* overrated. I
would'nt recommend the YB400 to anyone. The Radio Shack has better sound,
faster scan, better sensitivity, and costs less money.
Just my opinion.

I fell into a set of Sony MDR-54 headphones (they originally

Don't know what the frequency response stats are, but short

What's that you say?  Heathkit is no more?  It's like losing an old
friend.  I got my start in ham radio on a DX-60 transmitter I lovingly
built from one of their kits.  I still have a couple of pieces of
Heathkit gear in my shack.

There is a "junkyard" of old Heath & Zenith parts in Benton Harbor. I visit
there occasionally and would be glad to look for specific items for those who
need them. Please give me as much description as possible.

Summary: Old dane seeks danish contact




                                      [e-mail]

22. December 1995

An old Dane - that is me - would 65 years ago sneak into my dads
workshop to listen to the Schenectady USA broadcast for Jazz.
That was at 2-3 am in those days, as we still depended on the
lack of sun for the best reception. My radio then was a 1 valve
(Triode) set with positive feedback to get some sensitivity
necessary despite my excellent antenna.

I have recently had a radio, Realistic DX 390 bequethed and
caught the bug again. This time from the other end of the world.

Can someone please transmit e-mail to me, the frequencies for the
danish shortwave in order that I may once again speak and
understand danish. It is marvellous what 50 years of constant english
does to your danish tongue.

Kan jeg bede een afjer om frequenserne, det er sikker ogsaa
staved forkert?

Borge

Hi there...

Since I am home and bored, I have assembled a list of likely stations
below that are in the Southeast and on 830...  The listing works as
follows:  First column is freq, second is call (NEW means they didn't have
a call when my database was made), third is town, fourth is state, fifth
is country, sixth is power in watts, seventh is D for day, N for night, or
U for unlimited meaning the station runs that power all the time, eighth
is antenna pattern, ninth is ? I can't remember, and the rest is
latitude/longitude information.

0830 NEW     CORPUS CHRISTI   TX US. 002500 D DAN U N27 47 00 W097 24 00
0830 NEW     CORPUS CHRISTI   TX US. 001000 N DAN U N27 47 00 W097 24 00
0830 WACC    HIALEAH          FL US. 005000 D DA2 U N25 46 22 W080 25 16
0830 WACC    HIALEAH          FL US. 001000 N DA2 U N25 46 22 W080 25 16
0830 WADU    NORCO            LA US. 005000 D DA2 U N30 03 00 W090 22 41
0830 WADU    NORCO            LA US. 000750 N DA2 U N30 03 00 W090 22 41
0830 WWMO    EDEN             NC US. 050000 D DA2 U N36 32 08 W079 47 43
0830 WWMO    EDEN             NC US. 001000 N DA2 U N36 32 08 W079 47 43
0830 WWMO    JAMESTOWN        NC US. 050000 D DA2 U N36 07 40 W079 59 45
0830 WWMO    JAMESTOWN        NC US. 001000 N DA2 U N36 07 40 W079 59 45

Hialeah Florida is very close to Miami Beach.  Norco Louisianna is close
to Lake Pontchartrain, but I don't see any beaches listed nor does
Louisianna have much of a reputation as having primo beaches.  Eden and
Jamestown North Carolina are hundreds of miles from any beach.  Corpus
Christi is on the Gulf of Mexico, fairly close to the Mexican border.
There are beaches in ands around Corpus Christi, but I don't know if Texas
considers itself part of the Southeast.  When I was in Houston (in the
Eastern part of the state) last month, I got the impression that they feel
they are part of the Southwest, becuase that was the name of the local
phone company and Houston/Hobby is a huge hub for Southwest Airlines.
Given all this information, I'd bet you logged WACC, Hileah Florida given
its reasonable nightime power (is this a nightime logging?), fitting into
the description you gave, and is close to a major beach where there would
be a "beach" culture...  It might be also be out of Corpus Christi, tough
to tell...  Try for it again and see if you can't get an ID and if you do
let me know if I am correct...

73,
Ben

A little over a week ago on a Sunday night I logged a station around 9 pm
EST from that area playing R & B. Charlie Bird was the DJ.

The station was WETR giving its location as Eden/Greensboro, NC. Had to
null out WCCO to hear it.

I can tell you with about 99% certainty that it is NOT Hialeah, FL, for
the following reasons:

1) I live about an hour's drive from Hialeah, and I've never picked up that
station, nor read about it in the Miami newspapers. Right now, about 4
hours after local sunset, I'm receiving several weak signals on that
frequency, some in Spanish (of which I understand little). So I suspect
they're not on the air yet, or are VERY low power. (I can easily pick up
all graveyard stations in south Florida -- Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach
counties.)

2) Due to the demographics of that city (NW of Miami), I'd expect that
station to be a Spanish broadcaster.

Hope this helped...

This is WWMO in Eden NC.

50k Day DA SUPPOSEDLY 10K night DA-2. I'm not sure. They seem too strong to
be 1000 watts but the  FCC data says that's the Kernersville site. They are
*NOT* running from Kernersville NC as I was in Eden NC and they were too
strong. and I couldn't hear them at all when I was nearer to Kernersville.

"Beach music" is a type of music popular in the Carolinas and Virginia (I
lived in Chapel Hill for several years and got to know this music quite
well).  It's very similar to  r & b.

There are a couple of stations listed at 830 kHz in North Carolina.  Good
luck.

For AM stations, the National Radio Club publishes a book of nightime
coverage maps for most directional AM stations (it would be senseless for
non-directional stations, where the coverage is theoretically a circle).
An AM station becomes directional by having more than 1 tower.
99% of all FMs are nondirectional, so again a waste of effort. Bruce
Elving, Ely, MN, publishes a FM ATLAS which shows locations of each
station on a map, and elsewhere a predicted coverage distance (in miles)
Both are available from Universal Radio, ReynoldsburgOH 800 431 3939

Texans certainly are being quiet about their plans. You're the first
person who's mentioned it. I used to live in Dallas. None of the folks
there know anything about it. I suspect you'll need some military to
take back the other state's territories. This sounds to me like an old
Peter Ustinov movie where the Grand Dutchy of Fenwick threatens to
attack the US so they can get foreign aid.

Will Mexico provide your defense? Will you commandeer the religious
shortwave stations to spread the word? If Newt Gingrich doesn't shut up
pretty soon, Clinton is a shoe in for reelection.

Do you honestly believe that Clinton fixed everything JUST BY BEING
ELECTED?  All of the things you attributed to Clinton picked up steam
in late 91 and early 92.  Clinton is reaping the benefits of the sound
policy before him.  But then, if you're stupid enough to believe him, you
deserve him.

a. The rich make more profits in times of prosperity, just like everyone
else.  Regardless of your delusions, they want a strong economy.
b. Before you go bashing on the rich, remember they are the one
paying the paychecks of the other classes.  If you start taking
money from them, are they going to give up the money themselves,
or raise their own pay to compensate and lay off someone below.
Try thinking before you post this tripe.

Let's see--unemployment is down, the economy is up, the interest rates
have finally become low enough for the average citizen to afford a
mortgage, and there's practically no inflation.   Yeah, let's kick out
this man who has finally turned the economy around after twelve years
of voodoo economics, so we can have high unemployment, high interest
rates, high inflation again.

With four years of residence in Mexico, I opine that Mexico would have
nothing to do with a union with Texas. Let Texas enjoy its own just
desserts of ignorance and ploddishness.

Might happen to be all those oil fields. Of course a secession would be
greeted with the same results as the Gulf War, since Texas is part of the
"National Interest". Y'all have a good day now!

Since Canada is a nation of, at least, two languages, I suspect it has
nothing, whatsoever, to do with the decision to shut RCI down. As I
look through my "Pasport to World Band Radio" I see a book filled with
stations broadcasting in an awesome collection of languages. I admire
RCI for being competent in all its languages. Far from cheating
Canadians out of "fair value" I see them serving all their
constituents. They're representing both English and French-speaking
Canadians to the world.

Hello,

I have a friend who might be on a mission trip in the Ukraine, Etheopia,
or Mexico. I would like to find an inexpensive shortwave radio to
purchase as a gift that would be able to pick up news/information from
VOA, BBC, etc. Hopefully in the sub $50 price range, although I might be
flexible. This is a gift item -- he is not a swl as of yet.

After reading the FAQ, I saw that many models by Realistic seemed
appropriate. Are there any other recomendation that I should consider?

Thanks,

Brad

   Zoom Black Magic was the first pirate station to broadcast
openly in defiance of the FCC (in both Seaside and Fresno,
California) and even showed up once in the Arbitron ratings.
Zoom has had numerous run-ins with the FCC but is still on
the air semi-regularly in Fresno and, from time to time, in Los
Angeles.
   If you'd like to receive a copy of Zoomin', the official Zoom
Black Magic newsletter, just email back your postal address.

I have used several MW antennas (a Sansarini air-core loop, the Palomar
ferrite rod, and the Kiwa) and can say unequivocably that the Kiwa is far and
away the best of the lot. With its regeneration capability, the Kiwa's
bandwidth can be reduced to the point that stations a mers 3 kHz apart can be
separated and listened to independently (this is accomplished by using the
fine tuning control to move the antenna's "passband" across each signal
independently. It takes considerable practice to learn to use the controls,
but once learned, the results are nothing short of astounding.

This should produce adequate signal strength, but does not provide the
selectivity of the Kiwa.

Some, undoubtedly, but most likely not enough to keep the Kiwa from being
useful. If you can hear an AM radio in the room, the Kiwa (or any active
antenna, for that matter) will probably work just fine.

I have the manual but can not seem to load new freqs. Note: I also have

Monitoring Times has been advertising longwire baluns from Palomar
Engineers and Gilfer Shortwave. They claim to match a longwire to 50
Ohm coax. Well longwire can be anything from 200 to 1000 Ohm (I have
120 ft and R-5000). So, I recon, the balun must be anything from 1/4 to
1/20. Well, unless they really have a magic balun!!! I am confused.

No need to be confused, Mike!  It was reported on the "DX Conspiracy
Hour" that the manufacturers sprinkle fairy dust into these products
prior to encapsulation.  Once connected to your antenna, the balun
fairies constantly adjust the device's characteristics to deliver
every last nanovolt from the sky no matter what antenna, coax,
receiver (except the WJ HF1000), or frequency is being used.  The
control algorithms are quite complex and beyond the understanding
of the average DXer.  Just throw your cash at the salesman and don't
worry about it! <bg>

Seriously, the claims of one manufacturer of the transormation ratio
varying with frequency was addressed in the 94-95 issue of Proceedings.
Hardware measurements showed the claim to be false.  Several models
of impedance matching devices were tested and compared in the article,
including two home-brewed models (the Palomar unit wasn't included).

John Doty has posted plans for a homemade impedance matcher for randomwires
as well as discussed the balun issue here in the past.

I just purchased an MFJ-1270C TNC. It has HF weather FAX
capability, but the user manual says virtually nothing about how
to use this feature. Does anybody know how to command the unit
for WEFAX reception and the tuning offset to use with my HF
receiver?

This model is new this year.  It is about the same size as a
ICF-SW7600G.  The look is quite similar.  The main difference is it
has a built in stereo cassette recorder/player tied to the timer
function.  This makes recording radio programs by timer much easier.
 Sony has not made a cassette recorder with a timer function since
the TCM-27, which was discontinued several years ago.
The basic features of the ICF-1000T are: AM(LW/MW/SW)/FM Stereo
reception; 10 key direct access tuning; SSB mode; Synchronous
detector mode; 32 station memory presets; 1kHz step tuning; Built-in
clock with alarm and sleep functions.  Again, sounds like a
ICF-7600G with a cassette recorder built in.  If I can find more
detailed specs, I will post them.
MSRP is US$ 699.95.

Although Gilfer is the logical source, a regular Sony dealer, which
may not carry it, might be more likely to order it for you.  Call
1-800-342-5721 to find the nearest US dealer.

The speaker is tiny, around the same size as the SW100 one (under 2"). This
is literally an SW100 w/stereo tape recorder. In fact, the SW1000 is a little
smaller than the 7600G. The radio section runs off of 2AAs and the tape
recorder (evidently a low current-drain design) runs off of 1AA. Supposedly,
the SW1000T comes with stereo earphones, active antenna and a carry case. No
AC adapter is included, but you can probably use the high tech switching one
from an SW100 or a heavy $20 3v one that Sony sells as an option.

EEB got the first shipment of SW1000Ts in the USA on Wed, Dec 13. Lentini
Communications (800-666-0908) is expecting a shipment tomorrow, Dec 26. You'll
find pricing in the $499-$599 range (with J&R Music World charging $599).
This radio costs dealers more than the SW77; hence, the super high price.

I like how they used the same antenna that the SW55 uses (the one that
disappears into the radio/tape deck).

        I guess you're not the same one who last few days reported hearing
        maritime station WOO in this same range. If it was, I was going to
        say your receiver sounds out of synch or else picking up some
        strange harmonics for these kinds of xmsns to turn up here.

i was thinking that my attenna may be overloading the reciver pulling in too
much. a lcoal am station when ihave the jack all the way in is all over the
place when it is pulled slightly out it is normal.,

i dunno but i am able to yank in stations from MST and PST on AM now and
then.


but anyhow perhpas there WAS a spy station as low as 1635?
(numbers station that is) since it was so strong perhpas it was local.
even though im not in NVA im in the mts (valley accualy) in South-west va
perhpas a nice location for a radio tower of this nature since
hams,radio,tv have tons of towers up there (mnt is called Poor mt here in
Roanoke,Va)

anyhow later.

I read about that station for years. It was variously mentioned in the
electronics magazines as "Kiss Me Honey", "KMH" and "Honey Honey".
However, now that you mention it was sung, I realize that I never
ever heard it despite years of tuning around.

I do remember a bagpipe-sounding station which played nothing but the
same snatch of an unfamiliar tune (about the length of an interval
signal), but never identified it.

There was an interesting passage in a recently published book (sometime
in 1995) called "Espionage".  During a review of some of the espionage
tactics used in Cuba by American agents, there was a mention of numbers
station broadcasts.  Agents had shortwave receivers specially fitted
with tape recorders that copied the transmissions.  Agents then reviewed
the tape and decrypted them with a one time pad.  This is the first time
I have seen a clear reference to the source and use of numbers
broadcasts.

The book is very interesting and since it was published this year, it
should be available at any decent bookstore.  Sorry, I forget the
author.

Bob,

The answer is...  Depends.  The '100s ssb quality is very good.  However I
would state that the 2010's ssb is better, for the same price but is many
times larger than the '100.

It depends on what you are looking for...  Do you need the small size of
the '100 or is the unit going to be stationary most of the time?  If you
are looking for a unit to keep tabs on the ham band anywhere anytime then
go for the '100.  If you are looking for a transportable reciever that
will for the most part stay in the shack except for emergencies and field
day than the 2010, '77, or the Grundig 700 may be a better way to go.

   I have a Panasonic RF-B45 that has went out on me.

FM works just fine... no problem.... But then who uses a shortwave
receiver to listen to that....

ON all modes  LW MW, and SW a strong station sounds like "bleedover"
strong pulses of garbled noise.  totally unreadable.  weak stations cannot
be tuned at all........

Also, when removing batteries, there is supposed to be a delay to allow
changing of batrteries without memory loss.  Not anymore.  As soon as the
batts. are pulled, everything is gone.

I was contemplating using the Radio Shack repair service, but would like
some ideas first.  I like this radio too much to relegate it to the
dumpster, and simply cannot afford a new radio.

Any ideas folks?

   Thanks!

I would like to hear from anybody who has either first hand experience
with, or has heard any of the reviews of this radio.  I caught the end of
Glenn Hauser's review on World of Radio.  From the little bit I heard it
sounded as if he liked the radio except for the filter width.  I would be
interested to hear what Media Network said about the radio (I missed their
review).

Thanks.

The news about the end of Radio Canada International
is a shock for the whole community of shortwave-listener.
Canada points out to have no need for international
broadcasting any more. That decision shows a significant
lack of knowledge about the function of global communications.

Even we accept, that shortwave-radio is and was never a media
for the broad-masses, this decision will lead Canada into a kind
of "slendid isolation".

During the times of peace this isolation will have no real
political consequences, but it affect the cultural identity
of Canada. A lot of german pupils think that Canada is just a
part of the USA. This loss of seperation and identity is a document
for the need and usefulness of information.

During times of international conflicts, wars and natural desasters
shortwave is a well proofed instrument to spread out information,
especailly in cases, were the sensible net of information-gathering
is disturbed for certain circumstances.

To resign international shortwave-broadcasting is a mistake.

I like the DX-394 got it when it came out.  Some don't like it because of
the selectivity...actually the image rejection/adjacent channel rejection
factor, but it's also very sensitive.

I have been reading this newsgroup for the last four months after a five
year hiatus and it seems like there are quite a number of people on this
newsgroup who could help me out. I am looking for an antenna solution to
help me pull in the BBC WorldService, Radio Deutsche Welle and one or two
others. The primary station will be the BBC WorldService. I am not an
electronic technician but am willing to try some simple things. I do not
own a soldering iron, have never soldered and really would prefer a
solution that does not require me to go out and buy such a tool.

Now some specifics. I reside in San Francisco on the west side of Russian
Hill. I live in an apartment on the top floor of a three story building
and all of my windows face North or West. I do not have access to the roof
nor can I toss a slinkly out any of the windows. Basically the
installation needs to be contained inside my apartment. I have tried the
"wrap a wire around the telscoping antenna and drap the wire all about the
house" technique but that was not too successful and is also not too
attractive. I would prefer some solution that could be limited to a table
top.

I have a Sony ICF-SW7600. The radio has an "Ext Ant" plug in but I do not
know any specification beyond it looking like the head phone plug in on a
walkman. I also have a Parsec Power FM antenna laying about.  Can I
somehow use that for shortwave? Suggestions?  Answers?

Please respond via email and I will summarize, or post if you think this
is a subject worthy of a group dialog.

Thanks,

I believe that my Sangean 818CS is a victim of the so-called FET front-end
zap syndrome.  Its sensitivity in AM mode seems to be severely reduced from
what it was at one time.  I recall reading in this group some time ago that
it is a relatively simple matter to replace this particular transistor.

Can anyone provide details or a pointer to same?

Thanks,

Dan

I just purchased the Radio Shack DX-390 Shortwave radio (am very new
to shortwave listening) and would like to know If I'd be able to make
my own outdoor, long wire antenna that would make a big difference in
reception..

If you know how to make these, could you please post the instructions
to me in email? Thanks much!

Happy New Year!

I'm going to put a longwire on my sony 2010, so I have to ask, what is
that mod to help deal with static build-up due to rain, snow, lightning,
etc.

Can somebody email me the details?

Thanks,
Chris.

Interesting. I had the Sony SW 55, and compared it side by side with a
7600 G. Found the 7600 G a better unit because of the sych circuit.
Sensitivity about equal.

I was interested to purchase the Sony SW77 shortwave radio, because I
had tried one and found it very satisfactory and I appreciated the
radio stations pages tuning on it.

However, I have heard that this model has been discontinued by Sony.
Is this true?

It is in their latest catalog "Sony Style"...

Since you have decided on the set I would comparison shop the "Major" SW
retailer's like EEB, Universal, Gilfer, Grove for the best price and
availability.

Pierre-

The Sony SW77 is still available.  It's the Sony SW55 that's been
discontinued.
BTW, I have a SW77 and I love it!

I have had a nice little Sangean shortwave radio for about a year now, here in

 Southern California, but I am getting a little frustrated in figuring out
what stations are broadcasting and when. The huge shortwave books and gigantic

 databases tell me when a certain station is broadcasting and what part of the

globe it will reach, but this seems backwards to me. Is there somewhere I can
get a list of every station which can be heard in Southern California on a
certain day or evening? I am interested in shortwave broadcasts in different
languages and I have studied French and German and like to hear broadcasts in
those languages, but I am getting tired of trying to figure out which stations

are on the air around here an when. My little Sangean has a search mode on it,

but it only scans one band width at a time, for some reason, and then I have
to shift the band width manually and start the scan again. Also, it seems to
be a weak scan mode and it won't pick up a station that is not real strong
even though I can hear it perfectly well with my little Radio Shack amplifying

 device.
So, before I give up on my little hobby by getting tired of finding stations
"catch as catch can" can someone tell me if there is a list published of all
broadcasts to a certain area at a certain time? Or is it really "catch as
catch can" depending on ozone layers and sun spots and some sort of "skip"
phenomenon?

  I managed to find a copy of the 1995 Passport to World Band
Radio in one of our branch libraries, and it's been quite useful
to one who has just returned to SWLing after a lapse of many
years.
  Does anyone know when the 1996 edition is scheduled to appear?
  And, in the same vein, when does the WRTH makes it annual
appearance?  I haven't seen a current copy so I'm wondering if
it's still a "must have" item?
  What about magazines?  I skimmed through several copies of
Popular Communications (I think that was the name!) at the
library and found them singularly unhelpful.  Is Monitoring
Times any better if I happen to track down a place that sells it?
  Any other publications I should look for?
  I'm not interested in digging rare DX out of the murk -- just
want to listen to interesting programs, in English, with
reasonable signal strength, like Alistair Cooke's Letter from
America.

Passport to World Band Radio '96 is out for a few months.
WRTH '96 should be out in mid-January. (Grove has it for a discount and
no s/h if you order before New Year's.)

If you have web access, try http://www.bbcnc.org.uk/worldservice for BBC

I have an Icom R-100. For what I do with it, this is WAY more than I
need. However, I have a need for a quality SW reciever with Sync.... I
would be willing to work something out for one of the following:

Sony ICF-sw77
Grundig Satilit 700

I would also think about selling the unit for $575. I have the manual/box
etc. The Ideal trade would be for a satillit 700/Pro 2006.... Any ideas?
Contact nate at [e-mail].

PS: this thing has three antenna inputs, and with a wire in the 0-60mhz
input it works well on SW. It has an attenuator, and preamp.
100khz-1856mhs continuous, FULL 800 coverage. The radio is mint, and
quite excellent for band scanning.... I can't use it on SW because it has
no SSB, and I'd like sync. There are 100 memories, and 9 scanning modes.

Sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't write a story about it!

1) UTC=GMT. This isn't really true, but unless you have a home astrophysics
lab or need to navigate within a few feet, there is no difference.

(GMT is solar; UTC is atomic with leap seconds to adjust it to solar.)

2) Back in ye olde days of morse code, people had a lot of abbreviations to
make code transmission faster. DX is an abbreviation for "distance". A DX'er
is a person who listens to difficult-to-listen-to stations. The actual
distance isn't that big a deal--if you live in Chicago, it is easier to pick
up Radio Australia than it is to pick up say CKZU, Vancouver, on 6160 kHz
with 400 watts. A DX'er is more interested in the thrill of the chase than in
say listening to BBC programs.

Still a bit garbled. GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, or mean solar time
at Greenwich. The "mean" indicates that solar time (basically
measured by a fancy sundial) is to be corrected for the fact that
the equatorial velocity of the Sun as seen from the Earth varies
due to the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit and the obliquity of
the ecliptic.

UT (Universal Time) is slightly more abstract, being based on
"sidereal time", which is the angle between the zenith and the
intersection of the ecliptic and the equator. Correct sidereal time
for your longitude and subtract an amount that adds up to 24 hours
per year, and you get something that's much like GMT.  There are,
however, several variants of UT:

UT0 refers to UT uncorrected for variation in the observer's
longitude due to polar wandering. Since the Earth's poles don't
stay perfectly still, UT0 varies between observers at different
locations.

UT1 is corrected for polar wandering.

UT0 and UT1 actually don't measure physical time at all: they
measure the Earth's orientation in space. Up until about a century
ago, the Earth's rotation was the most accurate measure of physical
time known, but improvements in clocks have superceded it. Measures
of time based on the Earth's rotation have the strange property
that they don't quite advance one physical second of time per
second!

International Atomic Time (TAI) is a scale based on the SI second,
so it *does* advance at one physical second per second. Unfortunately,
it doesn't track mean solar time well: the Earth's rotation is
slowing down measurably. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is based
on TAI, but adjusted by an occasional "leap second" to keep it
within 0.7 second of UT1. UTC is "world time", the international
basis for civil timekeeping.

Another compromise scale, UT2, is UT1 corrected for seasonal changes
in the Earth's rotation rate. UT2 is little used: those who want
the orientation of the Earth generally use UT1, while those who
want physical time generally use UTC (or even TAI).

There are additional specialized time scales used in astronomy and
space operations. With effects of General Relativity becoming more
important in these fields (due to improving measurement precision),
how to define dynamical time scales for events in space with adequate
care and minimum confusion is a topic of current study.

In any event, the exact relation of GMT to these other time scales
is undefined. The Astronomical Almanac terms GMT "ambiguous". For
civil timekeeping, UTC serves the purpose once served by GMT. On
the other hand, celestial navigators who once used GMT now use UT1.
Since the difference is at most 0.7 second, it makes little difference
when reading a broadcast schedule.

You're the Art Chimes who used to be the VOA correspondent in Jerusalem?
Where you the one there during the Gulf War? Earlier that year Charles
Weiss was the correspondent (he gave me a mini tour of the mini office). I
remember back then in 90-91
when I attempted to get a current VOA schedule and there were none to be
found- it was then faxed from Tel Aviv (an incorrect schedule). I then
had a relative mail me the schedule posted by Dan Ferguson - which I then
gave the VOA office.... You
still old teletype machines - and the room that you broadcast from was a
modified closet! In my last visit, I immediately noticed the quiet.... No
teletypes- and they had the current schedule! To my amazement, the VOA
office was finally computerized, with news and schedules coming via
computer!  How things have changed.
  Do correspondents rotate?
I remember right before the Gulf War, I heard Radio Baghdad in HEBREW on
one of the VOA English (shortwave) frequencies... I came in and mentioned it
and everyone (2 people) from the back room came out in amazement....
Interesting times for radio....(Voice of Peace from Baghdad etc...)

I'm not sure of the general address but Dr. Kim Andrew Elliot is
[e-mail]. He's the producer/presenter of Communications World. For a
more generic address, you might try "[e-mail]" or something like
that. I don't think they have a web page but they do have a gopher/ftp

gopher://gopher.voa.gov

1) Are you working (with the budget stalemate)?

2) WRN Europe (for 1500 Sunday CW) is now available on the net via
Streamworks. (WRN N. Am. has been available for a few weeks.)

To get the Streamworks player, go to http://www.xingtech.com on the
Worldwide Web.

The Windows version, at least, is older than the availability of WRN on
Streamworks. So, you have to add it.

Hit the upper left button in the array of buttons. Modify the settings
for servers. Add Internet Multicasting Service at IP town.hall.org, port
1558.

Now, to reach it, hit the upper right button in the array of buttons.
Alternatively, you can use the upper left button to change one of the
program buttons you don't want to use for its intended purpose to
Internet Multicasting Service.

These two audio services require at least a 14.4 modem. There are some
other services which require a 28.8 and some which require ISDN.

Hi all...I hope this question isn't too stupid...

I'm new to Shortwave radio..Tomorrow I'm going to buy a shortwave
radio (already picked out the one I want). I've always wanted to get a
shortwave radio, cause I heard they are just so neat..

Can someone please give me some info, or direct me to, how I can find
some neat interesting shortwave stations? I guess what I want to know
is, what exactly IS out there on shortwave? Is it like AM radio, or
totally different? Can you hear stuff like talk shows and news off of
shortwave? I live in Wisconsin..Would it be possible to hear something
from Bosnia? (Even tho I dont speak Bosnian, I have a friend at work
who is a native Bosnian and speaks both English and Bosnian and it
would be cool if she could hear some of the news about the situation
there).  I'm just so facinated with how a radio wave can travel
thousands of miles.

I may be a little ignorant here, so please bear with me..I'm new to
the shortwave world, but I really want to get into this new hobby I'm
starting..

Any info is appreciated..

Actually, the people opposed to domestic SW would have been the same ones
opposed to clear-channel MW stations -- namely, other broadcasters who feared
that their listeners would simply tune to more attractive programming on the
big stations.  A lot of people like to squawk about "localism," but they seem
to ignore the fact that listeners wouldn't tune away from local stations
unless the distant stations were offering something that the locals didn't.

The same scenario is repeating itself today, with buyers of DSS and other
satellite dish systems lying through their teeth to try to obtain network
affiliate signals from other cities that, under Federal law, they aren't
supposed to be able to get.  This begs the question of *why* someone would
pay a couple of dollars a month to get WABC-TV from New York City when they
can already get their local ABC station with a normal antenna!

In other words, it's plain old-fashioned fear, just as it is with Cuban
jamming of the Marti services.

   I am sure domestic broadcast lobbying was involved, but I question
if it was particularly network.  The lobbying against the 500 kW that
WLW used for several years in the thirties was by local network
affiliates in the coverage area of the superpower station.  (I
was a sort of hanger on at WCOL, Columbus NBC Red Network at the
time).  The end of clear channel broadcasting that occurred
post-WWII was pretty much an industry wide effort.  Additional
evidence that the locals, not the networks, were against wide
area broadcasting is that several 500kW transmitters were built
on order from domestic AM broadcasters and kept by RCA to await
the possible change of FCC regs that would grant the power
increases which had been requested.
   It is true that pre-WWII shortwave U.S. broadcasting was the
relaying of local AM broadcast programs by the local station
(WBZ, WJZ, WGY, WCAU, KDKA, WLW, WLS, KOA etc.)  Those facilities
which survived to 1941 were seized by the government to found the
predecessor of VOA, and the post WWII US SW broadcasting was an
entinerly new effort.

Does anyone listen to William Coopers show on WWCR 05:00 UTC ? I think
it called the hour of the time(s). I you do listen to it do you know
what the beginning theme is saying? It just sounds like a bunch of
barking dogs and marching boots. Any help would be appreciated.

I met this guy at the Atlanta hamfest over the summer.  He helped Cooper
out with some of the shows and knows him quite well...  We talked about an
hour about the show and he seemed like a normal person.  I did not ask him
about the theme song but to me it still sounds like dogs and marching
nazi-like boots.  Just my .02 worth...You ought to read some of William
Coopers books!   Happy Holidays,  bill

Joerg,
    The station is 50kw with a very, very tight directional pattern. So
tight that reception in Germany can be better than reception in Boston.
It has a poor signal in many parts of Boston. It's the old WMEX of Rock
& Roll fame. Then WITS. Then WSSH. If it continues, they'll use every
letter in the alphabet.

I notice that Xingtech Streamworks can now pick up both the N. American
and European WRN feeds. The European feed is new.

The Windows/MAC software is available free on the Web from
http://www.xingtech.com.

Since the software may be older than the advent of Internet Multicasting
Service on the web, you may have to set it up.

Hit the upper left hand button in the array. Configure servers. Add
"Internet Multicasting Service" at IP "town.hall.org", port 1558.

Hit the upper right hand button in the array to access the various
services available. (There are some service buttons and you could
reconfigure one of the buttons for IMS.) Hit "live feed" and then
choose the service you want.

This service should work OK on a PC or Mac with a SLIP/PPP connection
and at least a 14.4 modem. Some other services require a 28.8 or even an
ISDN line.

I got by WRTH (also the 91 edition, BTW) at the Ham Radio Outlet store in
Anaheim, CA.  They are a very large amateur radio store that also carry
SW gear. Check any issue of QST or CQ magazines for an 800 number to
order.  I'm going to replace mine with the 96 edition when it comes out
also.

Sure is.  I had our school library (Franciscan University) order the 1995
edition.  Still published by Billboard.  The librarian used the tel. #s
in the '91 edition to order the newer edition.

Hope this helps.

The YB400 is a nightmare in mid/west USA. I bought one in Dallas,TX
and returned after being thouroughly disappointed. Supposedly its
good in eastern USA and europe where signals are strong.

Even PWBR back tracked on their initial review of the YB400.
They recommend it only for east USA and europe.

In weak signal areas the noise floor is substantial. Even worse
the AGC goes wacko and causes whooshing sounds ... even listening
to strongest of stations (BBC). The cheapest analog radio works better.

I took a survey here a year ago and 9 others had same problem
I had and also returned them.

The YB305 was Grundigs way of saving face and having something
to market in mid/west USA.

Those in strong signal areas love the YB400 for its fine audio,
but if you live in mid/west USA woe is you for purchasing such a unit.

 I just bought a YB400 here in Europe, and am completely dissapionted.
Don't believe what you read in the reviews (I did, and it cost me #140
IRP =$240 US). I also have a Radio Shack DX-380 (I think this is also
sold as the Sangean ATS 808?)
 The Radio Shack is *by far* a better radio and it costs less!
I wouldn't recommend the YB400 to anybody.
Just my opinion.

 There GReat for AM DXing, don't know about FM but the fm sound is
awesome! They run around $40 or so depending where you go. K-mart, best

Heard a fascinating program on RFPI last weekend called the Vietnam Veterans
Radio Network.  Recommended listening,...somewhat akin to Apocolypse Now.
Anyways, they mentioned the recent discovery of 48 hours of V of V tapes
from the 60's taped by a comm specialist stationed in Vietnam and apparently
quite rare.  Lots of references to Hanoi Hanna, MIA and KIA stats which
apparently were the norm during the war.  I guess the stuff I recalled
(relayed via RHC) was produced for a different audience, since I never
recalled ever hearing military stats.  They are making these tapes available
to anyone who is interested.  The phone given was:: 816-587-5966, and the
address as:
7807 North Avalon (?sp), Kansas City, MI, 64152.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season, and the best of DX.

I have been using the Timewave DSP-59+ for the past year.  It is
excellent in SSB and Digital modes and fair/good in AM Mode.  With the
latest ROM, the 59+ provides for variable depth noise reduction from the
front panel, and also signal regeneration (recreation) in the digital
modes.  The reason why I give a "less than excellent" rating in AM Mode
is lack of bandwidth.  The specified high end is 3.4 Khz which is not
quite high enough for good broadband noise reduction under some AM
listening conditions.  (Timewave has a new unit on the market, as of
November, which is optimized for AM - Model 599zx.  Also, JPS has a
reasonably priced unit, NTR-1, which is a wideband noise and tone
remover: I have not tried it.)

 I have an FROG and like it. International broadcasting is what I
enjoy and it does a great job. Well constructed. Nice ergonomices. Solid
AM, SSB and CW. Enough bells, switches, and filters for general broadcast
monitoring. Very sensitive.
 Drawbacks are a funky speaker (that will cost you another 100 bucks
more or less when your ears finally say "enough" to the FRGs poop-for-a-
speaker.) A slow-warming oscillator that causes fading for the first 10-20
minutes of use (for another 100 bucks YAESU will sell you the oscillator they
*should* have sold you to begin with.) To few memory presets (no upgrades for
that major shortcoming!)
 The real problem with the YAESU is that by the time you replace the
speaker, the oscillator, and maybe an extra filter or two for DXing and utilit
y
monitoring, shucks, you're within a couple hundred bucks of the Drake. Or just
a l-i-t-t-l-e more for the NRD525 (let me tell ya, Japan Radio Company knows
how to design and build radios!)
 Bottom line. There is no better receiver than the FRG-100 under $550.00
discount. There is no better receiver under $1050 discount than the Drake R8A.
There is no better receiver under $3799.00 discount than the Watkins-Johnson
HF1000.
 How much do you really want to spend to hear BBC?

Hi Kevin.  I'd get some text books that start you.  Passport, also World
Guide.  They both let you know what it's all about, and put you onto new
topics.  It will seem strange, but clarity isn't far away.

If you use the Web at all, check out the Shortwave Pages online.  There
are about 4 pages that bring links to you.  Very interesting.  Get some
more magazines and catalogs, and you'll start to get the picture.

Try to join a club.  Log everything you hear, and keep a database.  It's
quite fun.

Cheers.

One comment: your header is inaccurate. The original series of idiotic
messages came from someone who hates Clinton. So, the header should
read: "Are the ANTI-Clinton Heads Out to Destroy this Newsgroup." Had
the jerk who posted them not posted them, there'd be no response from
Clinton Heads.

Also, someone complained that politics was inappropriate in this
newsgroup. Nothing could be farther from the truth. After all, the
purpose of shortwave broadcasting, in most cases, is for political
purposes. Tell me that the old Radio Moscow wasn't a political animal.
It's sole purpose was political propaganda. Same with Radio Habana and
most Middle Eastern broadcasters. Shortwave is much more than the
discussion of which radio is best.

Hi.  I just got back into Shortwave in a big way, and got myself *finally*
a sony 2010.  Great radio.

Anyway, I came accross 11,175 or 11,176 (somewhere between there) upper
side band, and it sounds military.  I heard a plane get a weather report
from "Andrews", which I assume is Andrews airforce base.

What is this frequency, and are there others like it?  It really caught my
interest, as I got tired of listening to the civilian aircraft stuff.

Chris.

I bought one of these in october in Cambridge. So you might get at your local

If the MFJ1270c is anything like the MFJ1278, the wefax reception is
pathetic.  Black and white with NO resolution.  Check out you
disk that came with the tnc.  In the 1278 the command is something
like mode fax NNNN where NNN is the type of fax.  I don't have my manual
here(at work)but I will look up the exact command and what program
I had to use.

A much better approach is to download JVFAX 7.0 from either the ARRL,
Amsat, of(I think) the oakland ftp sites.  It is near freeware,  Works
GREAT and uses a simple uA741 powered by, and "talking" to a Asynch/comm
port.  Costs less than $5.oo us if you buy everything new.  It is really
the best way to go.  Hamcom is another good(though not as gooda as JVFAX
in my opinion).  If you have a "real" or 100% compatable Sound blaster,
you could try WXMAN2.  It does a good job just by feeding the sb card
with audio.
8080KHz is the best place to start.  Nam is on every night as of a couple
of weeks ago.  I guess they will keep on the air even if the Feds can't
get their budget togather.
None of the above programs can receive NOAA wx sat fax with out some work.
JVFAX has a diagram for a WX sat am to fm fax converter.  It uses an exar
2201?(check out the diagram), and while it is best to build a "real" am
fax demod, you can get impressive results by feeding the output of the
exar to any of the above programs.
Good luck
Email me if you have any questions, I won't be back on unitl jan 2, 1996.
(unless I end up in here for something else)
WEFAX is great fun, do not get discouraged by any intitial hassels.  Hang
in there.  It will be worth it.

John,

You neglected to tell us the general area where you live...  If you live
near one of the "majors", ie big stores that carry SW and HAM equipment
I'm sure that might be an option.  You also might wish to try a 'yahoo'
search of the net for panasonic, or 1-800-555-1212 for Panasonic Customer
Service.  I am fortunate enough to live about 10 miles south of one of
their regional warehouses, perhaps you do too!

John,

IGNORE the last message I sent.  I really have to start reading people's
email addresses before I post...

John, I believe that you are in luck for service consultation...  If I
read your return address right and you happen to live in the Greater
Columbus Metro Area you happen to be near one of the better SW and HAM
outlets in the US...  Namely Universal Radio in Renoldsburg, OH.  It is
located East of I-270 off of I-70:   Get off (I-70) at Bryce Road going
south (first exit after I-270).  Hang a left (east) at the first light
(Tussing) and it is located in an industrial park left (north) after the
"Daifuku" building (you can guess how I pronouce that one!).  I visit
friends in Westerville every Memorial day weekend and force them to take
me there!

They have a nice large showroom with both SW and Ham equipment (only EEB's
is in the same league) and have a very knowledgeable staff.  As a matter
of fact they are the only folks that I know of that regularly carry
Service Manuals for sale to the general public for SW equipment.

These folks have been good people to do business with.  I'll warn you
thought...  don't take a lot of money there because you will find _a lot_
of stuff that you will be tempted to buy...  There address and phone
number follow:

Universal Radio
6830 Americana Pkwy.
Reynoldsburg, Ohio  43068 USA
800 431-3939 (toll free N. America)
[phone]
SWL Catalog:  US$1.00

What I would do would be to call them up ask for the service dept. and
talk to a tech and describe your set's symptoms.  Ask if (s)he thinks
(s)he knows that the problem might be and a ballpark repair estimate.  If
it is too high you might wish to make an in person visit and check out
their used equipment...  Perhaps you can trade your set in on a
reconditioned one for a modest price...

Just thoughts,  I hope that I have helped.

Lines: 45

        Since at least the early to mid-1980's, medium-wave DXers in North
America have logged and reported an unidentified non-directional beacon
transmitting on 1620 kHz with the code ID of "SBT."

        Using loop antennas, hobbyists noted that the station's signal looped
towards Central/South America. When propagation favored C/S America, the
signal was stronger. Much speculation was made as to its origin. Aeronautical
charts were reviewed, reference books were checked, and letters were
written to various federal agencies as well as governments of C/S America,
but to no avail.

        In the latter part of 1994 and early 1995, I again sent out a number
of letters. However, this time, the letters were sent direct to government
communication agencies in each C/S American country. This time, success!

        Many replies were received, indicating that SBT was not located in
the country replying...all except one. A letter was received from the
Ministerio de Comunicaciones in Bogota, Colombia. The translated response
states in part: "...it appears on 1620 Khz to be a station located in
Sabana de Torres-Santander, belonging to 'Esso Colombiana Limited.'"

        An initial letter to Exxon was not replied to, but a follow-up
letter yielded a reply indicating that Esso Colombiana has operations in
the Santander region and that my inquiry would be forwarded to the Public
Affairs manager in Esso's Bogota office.

        As yet, no reply has been received from Esso Colombiana, and a letter
sent direct to Sabana de Torres-Santander has yet to yield a reply.

        So, while nearly all inquiries to other C/S American government
agencies were replied to, in the negative, Colombia responded positively.
While this does not guarantee that SBT is operated by Esso Colombiana, it
seems a likely prospect.

        This is being posted at this time as it appears that I have run out
of leads for positive identification, more TISs are appearing on 1620 kHz,
the expanded band is on the horizon (more or less), and it's probably going
to another year before I'll have a break from college and a chance to
follow up further. Hopefully, one of you reading this will be able to
positively IDd this station and be the first on their block with a QSL!

        Very 73 and a Happy New Year of DX! [e-mail]

I did...I got a Yacht Boy 400...I was just doing a comparison between it
and my DX-440 and found the YB to be much more sensitive, but then that's
what I'd expect. But I prefer MW DX, and as far as I can see, there's no
way to connect an external antenna for MW, only SW, at least from what the
manual says. To me, the whole receiver seems to se set up in a rather
logical way, and it was easy for me to operate - even came with its own
wind-up external SW antenna, batteries (that died really quick, but hey,
at least they were there!), and headphones. A power supply might be
nice...

I use ARAFAX 3  it cost about $99 and it comes with software and a cable
to hook from your SW to your PC, works great!, code is a little tricky
unless you have a GOOD receiver, I have two receviers, a DX-440 and a
DX-394....The DX 440 is no good on decoding code but with the DX-394 The
Decoding it great! it decodes about 98%   hope this helps......

The Software also controls most radio's, to find out about the ARAFAX3
software, call Advanced Electronics At 1-206-774-5554.........cya

AT&T is busy installing PCS equipment licensed for band A 2GHZ and Narrow band

940Mhz at a public facility I work at. Review of their specifications show a
singular T1 driving the installation. Range on a line-of-sight installation in

open terrain with antenna HAAT around 100', the effective coverage zone is 1
mile. Getting into 2 miles puts you deep into the roll-off zone. The facility
has several buildings with several floors and configurations. Due to presence
of public, ERP is being limited to around 150W. (About 6-10 Watts at the Amp)
[ Look Ma, This plastic dome is a magic sun lamp ]

I dont think we'll be seeing ethernet data rates on any publicly offered PCS
net with these kind of specs I'm reading through. I think their target market
isnt the heavy video conferencing crowd they play it up to be. Most lines will
service digital cellular telephony.

You are not alone. I went thru same thing last year with my YB400.
There were about 10 others here who had similiar problems.
Those in strong signal areas seemed happy for the most part.

Sorry to say it, but (IMHO) anytime the government hears
that Allen Weiner is on a ship with radio equipment,
it's "bust him and take his equipment" first, due process later.

Mike,

Regarding the Palomar MLB.  I installed one with my 70 ft random wire and
an R-5000 a couple of years ago.  I noticed two things:  subjectively, it
appeared to me that I gained slightly smoother broadband response (I
listen to a lot of utilities AND SW broadcasters and am not interested in
traps tuned just to the Broadcast bands) and definitely less noise as a
result of the coax lead-in.  All in all, I think the MLB makes a lot
sense IF you are using it with a random wire antenna..  You also might
want to refer to the antenna comparisons in the 94 edition of the WRTVH
Equipment Buyers Guide.  I believe their comparison tests also suggested
that there was something more to the MLB setup than just fairy dust.  I
have nothing to do with any of the manufacturers - just thought my
experience might be of interest to you.

Currently, I'm using the same antenna setup with a Drake R8A.  I'm quite
pleased.

Good listening..

Chris,

I'm sure it was Andrews AFB. This is a good band to listen for Air Force 1 and
 other
traffic out of Andrews. I don't see that freq in my copy of the CFL, but there
 are Air
Force operations throughout that range.

Yes, I had the static 'zap' problem. Fortunately, it happened under
warranty and the Shack fixed it and got it back to me in about a
week.
Please don't 'zap' me for pointing out that before forking over the
dough for a repair you may want to make certain that you haven't
unknowingly popped the AM sensitivity switch to "local" rather than
the normal "DX" position. The switch is located on the left side of
the unit between the green external antenna and AC power jacks.

I saw a posting on here the other day on converting a 2 channel Motorola
Maxtrac(VHF High Band) to a 16 channel.  I have access to both the
software and hardware I need some technical advice on how to do it.  I
have
4 mobiles and 1 base station I use for my construction company and would
like to convert them to 16 channel radios.  I priced out new radios from a
local guy and he wants $425 a pop for 16 channel ones(used, no less) and I
spoke to a friend who says the hardware is only about $25 for each radio
so I
figured this was the way to go.  I really could use some help from you
guys.
I'm really not a radio-guy, I'm a scanner-guy myself.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanx in advance.

I can verify that they fry easily -- have had an 818CS for about two years,
used with various active antennae and a 40' trap-laden wire.  Sensitivity
gradually decreased until one day it quit working entirely.  Any chance a
nearby electrical storm could've fried it even though it wasn't attached to
an antenna and was powered off?

Most disappointing was checking a friend's Radio Shack DX-whatever 818 without
the cassette recorder -- it was EXTREMELY sensitive compared to the 818CS in
it's pre-dilapidated state.  Especially since it was about $100 cheaper.

Just got a Grundig YB400, and was intrigued to see that there is a sort of
EMF overload reset button.  I suppose it would be lots better to whip up some
sort of antenna interface (I think the December Monitoring Times had a
schematic) to prevent signal overload.  I'm sort of scared to hook up the
external antennae to it...

I got a Drake SW8 for Christmas. It is an extremely nice radio and it is
working like a charm. I have not used it as much as I wanted to due to my
computer work, but I am most impressed with its AM capabilities. I
receive a new station on virtually every single 10 Khz jump, and I am
logging them from Chicago, New york, New orleans, and even Nashville. I
notice though that my computer interferes with my radio, they are only
about 5 feet apart and I can notice the static. I do not mind because I
turn the computer off when I want to do serious listening.

Joe.

11,175 is one of the primary freq for the Air Force Global Comm System. It
changed recently from 11,176. During the day this freq is very active with AF
comms.

Have you totally discounted the possibility of learning Morse Code for
yourself?  I know we live in a society where we want EVERYTHING NOW,
but I think you may find learning it to be a rewarding experience.
The human ear is one of the best filters around for copying weak
signal CW transmissions.  I think you will realize this once you see
one of these terminal units (KAM, AEA or the like) insert extra wrong
letters into words because it was confused by a static burst of noise.

I've been away from SW for quite awhile but got a DX-375 for Christmas.  There

is no jack for an external ant. and I'm wondering if I should trade it in for
another model.  The reception is not that good, in general, so any suggestions

Hi Dan

Sorry  I don't have the answer to your question. But I'm using a Sangean
818CS and am finding the reception somewhat disappointing.

I'm particularly interested in:

1) Shortwave broadcasts in Spanish directed to the South Pacific region -
of which there a very few, and

2) Communications from aircraft (Oceanic). I seem to spend a so much time
trying to adjust the BFO, that I end up missing the message.

Does anyone know if there is a BETTER performer for my requirements than
the Sangean 818CS?

Ken,

David Toste wrote an excellent logger, called SWLogIt.  I know he's in
the process of upgradig it right now, but I think the most currently
available version is 1.23.

You can see it on David's web page
(http://www.io.org/~saturn/SWLOGit.html), which also has a link to
download it.  You can also write him at [e-mail].

I've been reading the "Zenith Transoceanic - the Royalty of Radios"
and may be interested in getting one. Thing is, I already have plenty
of radios like the Sony SW-55 and the Yacht Boy 400. If I get a Zenith
Transoceanic would it be just for collectability or could one of them
hold its own in terms of sensitivity and audio quality?

If I were to get only one Zenith Transoceanic, which one is considered
the "best" in terms of audio quality, sensitivity, and selectivity?
How do the tube models hold up against the transistor models? I
wouldn't be interested in a R-7000, the one where it tries to cover
the entire shortwave spectrum.

A lot of the shortwave transmissions are simply re-broadcast domestic programm

I don't think he really has credentials; he certainly disdains both psychiatry
and the use of drugs. He operates The Institute For Human Understanding,
which has been listed in a number of books about cults. He also runs a
retreat or school in Grants Pass, Oregon, and used to publish a glossy right-
wing magazine that had national distribution. Ofcourse, all this information
might be a bit dated . . . I haven't heard anything about him for years. He us
ed
to have his show rebroadcast in syndication -- I used to hear it at about 4 a.
m.
EST out of an AM station in Wheeling, West Virginia, I believe. He might have
been dangerous, but between constantly begging for donations I found him
highly entertaining, reducing callers to tears on air on a regular basis. This
possibly sounds mean-spirited of me to say I laughed at these callers expense,
but he did it so regularly and so dispassionately that I had to wonder what th

people were thinking when they called. In fact, I often used to think the call
ers
were insiders that Masters was using to set up his diatribes. He seems to beli
eve
that all our problems can be somehow traceable to Adam and Eve, all the guilt,
 etc.
He has a British accent, so I don't know what his earlier credentials might ha
ve been.
Where is he available on SW these days??? He certainly didn't take any shit on
 air,
he's the coldest person I've ever heard. He calls it "tough love" or being "fi
rm."
Regardless, he makes Bob Grant sound like Santa Claus.

I have two,  a tube type A600 and a transistor Royal 3000-1.  They have
really nice audio (the 600 is better than the 3000) and are quite fun
to use.  For program listening I enjoy using them over my 2010,  but
the Sony is better for digging out the hard to hear dx because of the
selectivity.  Both the 600 and the 3000 have good sensitivity,  even at
17 MHz they are as good as the 2010 (all compared with internal whip
antenna).  Oddly enough,  the only portable I have that has better
sensitivty in that frequency range is a GE "World Monitor".

You mentioned not wanting an R-7000,  but using the 600 and the 3000 on
49 and 41 meters will yield the same tuning difficulty since those
bands are placed in the 4-9 MC band on the radio.

Of the two I have,  If I could only have one it would be the 600
because it has better audio and more character.

The tape recorder on my Sangean 818-CS no longer records well.  (Playback
of previously recorded tape works fine, however.)  When I record and then
play back, the recorded sound is distorted, though not completely
unintelligible.  Any previous recording on the tape is also not completely
erased.  I have cleaned the tape heads using two different cleaning kits.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be the problem and how to
fix it?

It's out of warranty, and when I wrote to Sangean about repair, they
suggested I buy a new one!

Does this mean that you have to have the computer connected to get the
full coverage?  If no, I assume the 8000 program is in eeprom(?) and it
can be overwritten.  How on earth could this get by the FCC?

Also, I have an HP-100LX.  Has anyone ever tried using one of these to
control a scanner?  If you haven't been introduced, the 100/200/1000LX/CX
are DOS based with 640k for DOS and either 360 or 1.4 Meg as file
storage.  The RS-232 port has RTS/CTS and speed up to 115 kBaud.  The
screen is 640x200.  IS there a package sold for scanner control that runs
in DOS?

Not sure about a FAQ (is one needed?), but, I have a Philips DC-777 in my
Ford Ranger.  Not a bad unit, but you will have to find one used.
Philips stopped production/distribution of these units a while back.

All Zenith Trans-Oceanics are very high quality shortwave radios.  They all
incorporate analog tuning and have a rather broad bandwidth, but we are
talking about 30 to 50 year old technology.

There were many models of the the Trans-Oceanic produced over the years
and I recommend any of them.  Except for the 7G605 and the 7000 series,
they are relatively easy to find.  Run a "WANTED" ad in Antique Radio
Classified (Phone [phone] or email [e-mail]) and, most
likely, you will get responses.  Try to find one in excellent shape with
all of its accessories intact.  Also, nice Trans-Oceanics can be found
selling for well under the average prices quoted in the new Trans-Oceanic
book.

The reason to learn the code is it has a nice rhythm; but probably
you have to send it to pick up on it, in developing a nice fist.

There isn't much interesting to listen to, just hams.  When I was
little I thought someday I'd grow up and talking to hams would
be more interesting, but here I am grown up and it isn't any more
interesting.  wx here is cloudy, is likely to be the meat of the
conversation.

The sound is pleasant though, if well sent; I used to fall asleep
listening to NSS.

There used to be a fsk station on 21MHz exactly, using the call OLU,
that never sent anything but

  V V V   V V V    V V V   de  O L U   O L U   O L U     V V V ...

and the backwave from that (the wrong tone of the fsk) had the most
remarkable rhythm I've ever heard.

Computer, RS232 interface, Scancat Gold software.  It's almost a
no-brainer.

Better actually since it will have the US bandplan in it
to begin with.

I think most dealers will offer this as a mod.  We do
for $35.00 US.

 WRNO broadcasts RUSH on 15.420 MHz.  I have no idea what medium the
 Armed Forces Band uses.

That raises a good question -- what will be the future for
the Sackville site?  BBC and other SW broadcasters rely on
it for relays.  Does Sackville receive sufficient revenue
to pay for itself?

Has anyone on the US West Coast been able to hear any of the
pirate stations (reported in Monitoring Times, on this news group,
and elsewhere)

They're supposed to be real active around holidays, on frequencies
like 7.415 and 6.955 mHz. However, I have yet to hear any. Has anyone
else out here lucked out?

Anyone know any good WEB sites that'll give me current times/freqs. for DX
shortwave and/or utility stations?  By the time my Popular Communcations
magazine lists a station and it gets to my mailbox, it's obviously quite
old.

Only WEB sites I've come up with lately are individual shortwave station
homepages that list only their particular operating schedule.  I'm looking
for something akin to a shortwave listener's guide or DX bulletine thats
current and on the WEB.

Thanks
Asa

I own a sony 2010. I like most everything about the radio except I find
that having only 32 tunable presets is somewhat limiting.

The closest thing I know to a SW/Walkman is the Sony SW1. It is a digital,
AM/FM/SW/LW receiver about the size of a pack of cigarettes.  No tape
player, however. I have one and it's pretty good considering it's size.

 END OF ERA FOR BBC IN FRENCH

 BBC broadcasts in French which go back
 to before the Second World War are to
 end at midnight on New Year's Eve.

 The final World Service programme in
 French is being withdrawn to save money

 The first were made in September 1938
 at the time of the Munich crisis.

 And Gen de Gaulle used the BBC for his
 rallying call to the Resistance in 1940

I bought a G-500 Transoceanic about 4 years ago at the Houston Vintage
Radio Club which I belong to.  I have learned from experience to
slowly (over a couple of days) bring the AC voltage up with a variac
to reform the dialectric on old capacitors otherwise I get a loud hum
in a few days of use. Of course if the radio has been used lately
without being turned off for years then the radio in question will
play just fine. All but one of my shortwave radio's (a mid 60's
National Panisonic portable a friend gave me) are full of tubes.
I have really enjoyed my Transoceanic G-500. The set picks up well for
something about 50 years old! Tube models have a battery cable inside
as well as a plug to connect the AC power cord into when you go
portable. Original batteries for these sets are no longer available
but I think Antique Electronic Supply in Tempe AZ (602-820-5411) still
sells batteries that can be used with it. Just have to make an adapter
to fit the battery cable inside the set. A small project I'll be doing
next spring so I can take my Transoceanic to some parks here in
Houston.

Zenith T/Os are terrific. I bought a Grundig YB400 as a Christmas gift for
a friend and compared the reception to a Zenith 600....the T/O won hands
down. Not only was the Zenith more powerful but the audio quality was
understandably better (that speaker in the big wooden cabinet sounds
great).

If you need digital tuning and preset memories, get a new unit. Otherwise
get an old tube-model Transoceanic, it's a lot of fun.

I have used the Radio Shack DSP unit.  Its main advantages are low price
(on sale now at $49.00) and ease of use.

It works well as a narrow filter for CW and a heterodyne (squeal)
reducer for SSB.  For AM, it can reduce heterodyne noise, which is
especially helpful for CB.  It does not reduce other noise (e.g.
car engine pulse noise) and can reduce the quality of the AM signal.
The processor is a bit slow.

The cheapest and easiest way is to buy any kind of insulated wire (the
cheap stuff will work fine) and string it around the room or on the roof.
Strip one end of its insulation so only the copper wire shows, then attach thi
s
end  to the antenna of the radio, and you will get greatly improved
shortwave reception.

Another option is to buy an active antenna.  This is a small box with a
telescoping whip and some sort of tuner box.  You can get one at Radio Shack
or one of many stores that sell shortwave radios.

I am interested in turning my Zenith Transoceanic from AC power into
battery portable operation early next spring. Anybody have a schematic
for the G-500 or the manual that could mail me a photocopy? I need to
make some kind of adapter that fits the battery cable inside the set.
Also there is a socket that fits the AC power plug inside the radio
that I guess is used when switching to batteries. I'm assuming the set
takes 90 volts for the B supply and about 9 for the filiment string?
Need to know the pin layout on the battery cable too. I can get
batteries from Antique Electronic supply. Thanks very much!

I highly recommend Peter Yanczer's inverters for running TOs and other
large portables from D cells. I have used them successfully with
several radios. Sometimes they need to be positioned carefully with
respect to the antenna to eliminate rf hash.

I understand there is a FET transistor in the front end that's prone to
blow and cause poor reception. Can anyone tell me what it is? where
located, and is there a radio shack replacement part?

I received a Radio Shack DX-375 for Christmas but it doesn't have a jack for
an external ant.  I don't have a benchmark to go by as far as reception is
concerned.  Any suggestions on models to trade up to and/or any suggestions on

freq. and times in south central Texas (College Station) to try would be very
helpful.  Also, I live in a wood frame house.

Thanks in advance,

Mike,

The Palomar unit does utilize the DC path to ground thru grounding the
shield of the coax.  This is specifically addressed in Palomar's
instructions.  This can be accomplished in a couple of ways.  In my case,
I use a grounded in-line surge/static suppressor on my coax before it
enters my house.  It has the same effect as directly connecting a ground
wire to the shield of the coax which is the other way you can create your
DC path to earth.  In Palomar's instructions, to quote: "At a point on
the coaxial cable just before it enters the building, strip off a short
piece of the outer jacket and connect a ground wire to the cable shield.
 Run this wire to the nearest good ground.  This will drain off any
static charge on the antenna direct to ground.  This precaution is not
necessary to the operation of the balun but is considered good
engineering practice.."   Hope this answers your question Mike.  Good
listening and Happy New Year!  (By the way, noticed you are in Mass - use
to live on the outer Cape for about six years - was excellent SWL out
there).

Cheers!

Tony Bonanno, Santa Fe, NM

From what I understand, they are all reciprocal agreements.  Sackville is
one big leapfrog jump for lots of stations.  I don't know what's going to
happen in North America if this happens.

Sony fixed the problem, but only for the whip.  When a plug is inserted
into the antenna jack, the protection diodes for the antenna circuit
are disconnected, so you must provide for them yourself.  Otherwise,
just connect your antenna to the whip with an alligator clip to maintain
protection.  If your lead-in has a shield or return, I've used an
alligator clip on the outer ring of the ext ant jack for a temporary
connection.

In addition to the diode protection network for external antennas, you
may need to use a MW reject filter to keep local AM stations from
overloading your 2010 (or other receiver) with longer wires.  The
following incorporates both.  The filter is from Bill McFadden's monthly
phone line antenna post.


                 1500pf     820pf      1500pf           (EXT ANT PLUG)

              x         |           |         V   - <--diodes (4)
              |         |           |         -   ^
              |         |           |         |   |
*earth gnd -------------+-----------+----------------- outer conductor



* coax shield/2nd lead-in wire for dipoles/loops/etc, or for single
  wire antennas earth ground (if used)

You can use 1n4148 or 1n914 diodes.  I use a metal box for the
enclosure and coax from the filter to receiver.

I once used a 180' antenna on my 2010, but had to shorten it due to
overloading from the BBC on 5975 (a preselector would have helped).

It is indeed unfortunate that phil berman has such a limited grasp on

Joseph,

The Heath manual for the HD-1424 (I don't have an HD-1424A, wonder what
the difference is?) lists the industry part numbers as follows:

Q103        417-290 (MOSFET) == MRF502
Q101, Q102  417-931          == PN4858

My NTE book shows the replacement for the MRF502 as an NTE161, but I can't
find any substitute for the PN4858. (BTW, no listings for either of the
Heath part numbers in the cross references.)

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Stan

Remember to set your watch back one second, Sunday at 2359:60, UTC, just
before Greenwich New Year. (These things do add up. According to an
article by Bill Scanlon, on Scripps/Howard News Service, scientists at
Adelaide University believe that earth had about a 23 hour day at the

Roger dodger, at this moment I am monitoring my first pirate locked in on
6955.0 with a booming signal coming through clear on the am with a solid
signal strength.

Playing some serious rap music, and ID'd as:
WBYR Brickyard Radio
PO Box 28413
Providence Rhode Island 02908

I am using a Drake SW8 and a 75 foot long wire suspended 30 foot off the
ground.

The Radio Shack DX-392 has a problem that mutes the sound when
scanning the frequencies.  Could somebody send me the mod to re-enable
the sound?  The Sangean 818CS is the same radio (according to 1996
Passport to World Band Radio), so if you have the same modification
for that radio it should work.  Thanks in advance.

Yes, there are several SW-stations in Costa Rica and at least two are broadcas
ting in english:
Adventist World Radio and Radio For Peace International. Both are transmitting
 on several
frequencies. Here in Sweden AWR is rather often heard on 5030 kHz.

If you want spanish-speaking radio stations try Radio Reloj on 4832 kHz and/or
 Faro del
Caribe on 5055 kHz.

Look in the World Radio TV Handbook if you want more information!

I am thinking of purchasing the Realistic DX 394 which is supposed to be intro
duced here in Canada at the end of the month.
I understand it is already available in the US. It features scan capabilities.
..I have several questions:
1. does it have usb and lsb capabilities or a BFO?
2. does it have squelch capabilities
3. is it sensitive?
4. what is the selectivity like?
5. how much are they in the US catalogue?

Any comments pro or con regarding the receiver would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your interest in the posting.

I just got a YB400 from a local BJ's (Whole Sale club). It was the last one
and was un opened. The radio works great, but the antena seems to be to loos.
It doesnt really hold its potuion when to rotate it. I cant get another radio
from the store and was wondering if this was a common problem and if there was

a way tio fix it myself.

I was also looking for a YB400 FAQ? I remember seeing something about one, but

couldnt find anything in the usuall www searches.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Charles, I've been tuning in quite frequently here in the SF bay area and
havent heard much either. I listen in on the right time and freq.s and so
far ive only heard one, that was Black Rider Radio last April. Loud and
clear. They didn't respond to my QSL report . Even after a follow up
letter. Let me know if you dig up anything. Good luck and have a good new
year

Hi Mark,

I also have a Ford Ranger, and was considering the Philips SW. However, my

Guatemala

Try:

3300 kHz  TGNC  Radio Cultural
                Apartado 601
                01901 Guatemala
                Guatemala

This station has about 10 kW power and is also the strongest

How is the shortwave scene in Houston?  I will be moving to the Clear Lake
area around the 14th of January.  Any good SW equipment stores in the
area?  How is the reception of the major and minor stations?

I have one tubed boatanchor (Hallicrafters SX-24) and I love it.  I am
always on the lookout for a companion for it.  (It wants some tubed
friends!)  I also use a Sangean ATS-606P becuase of the digital display.
What do you use?

Hi Everybody

Hope you all had a great Christmas and that you will have a wonderful
New Year in 1996..

Did anyone hear Marie A Lamb's new programme over the weekend, DXing
with Cumbre over WHRI and KWHR.

I would like to know how to get the best results for next weeks
transmission.   I heard three broadcasts one was impossible to listen
to, but the other two were OK.

Did anyone hear why the 4:30 UTC over WHRI on 5760 in the early hours
of Saturday morning stopped after 15 minutes, went dead and then a
dance band.  There was no apology at the end just the normal station
identification.

Regards from the sunny banks of the River Mersey with the beautiful
view of the Beatle factory.

Dear Glen,

Thanks for the tip. In addition to trying to justify buying a Sony
ICF-SW1000T, I'll see if I can scrounge up an SRF-29 and try it. It
is amazing at how resourceful prisoners can be. It makes you wonder
what would happen if they applied the same ingenuity to life outside
the prison gates.

Regards,

Robert

Frank,

You might want to contact John Wilkerson
([e-mail])...  He had posted a message on Christmas
Eve that stated:

"I have a Panasonic RF-B45 that has went out on me.   I like this radio
too much to relegate it to the dumpster, and simply cannot afford a new
radio."

It may be that your set is cheaper than repairs on his set...  I'm sure
that he would appreciate knowing that you might be able to solve his
problem...

73!

Personally, Im really not convinced that all the reportings found in MT
are all that "accurate". For there to be that many pirates on one
frequency, they whould have to be on either simultaneously or almost
around the clock. I havent heard nary a one on any of the reported
frequencies.  IF they are there they must be getting out only locally or
at most regionally.  Thats hard to understand, looking at the frequencies
they are using and the equipment power to transmit any distance on these
frequencies. 73. B.

    That's fine and I agree! BUT< lets make sure we voice the same opinion
when the issue is some left of center harrangue deploring US SW B/Cer's airing

of unpopular shows or personalities. All too often this interst in keeping

Monitoring Times Collection For Sale, 1982-1995

In late 1981 I answered an ad that Bob Grove ran in 73 magazine for his
new mag, "Monitoring Times".  I have been a subscriber since day one, but
it is time to make room.

1982-1983 $1.75/issue (six issues/year)
1984-1986 $1.50/issue
1987-1995 $1.25/issue

Whole set (my preference to sell) $150 + shipping.

How serious is the lack of FM on this receiver?

What is the problem with the selectivity?

Let's see. I've a 777 in my VW Passat and engine noise is
horrible. I've devoted lifetimes to its resolution, to no
avail. I've finally decided to live with it until I find an
electornics macher.

You may be able to find one by calling Kim Arnesan at the US
distributor of the radios (which also repairs them). Try her
at 800-328-0795, ext. 109. You're calling AutoSound.

By the by: Bendex (sic?, something with a B) Mexico makes
one now for over $700 US!

Good luck. Oh. If anyone has licked the problem (I've tried
numerous suggestions from this group) please post them or
e-mail them to me at [e-mail].

Happy New Year.

some years ago.   Nelson was a former RFI investigator for SoCal Edison so you

can believe he knows his stuff.  Hope this helps, 73 Torkel Clark N6KKA

  I believe the transistor is protected if you use one of the Sony
active antennas.  AN-1 for instance. It doesn't provide a lot of gain,
but if you have a location problem and just want to get the antenna out
a window or something, its adequate.   For Long Wires or other
antennas, I understand that the transistor is protected if you hook the
wire to the telescoping antenna rather than going into the jack.
  By the way if the transistor goes you may not even notice a
difference on SW. It mostly effects MW.
   Other than that it is a very fine radio. I have had  one for about
10 years.

I haven't listened to them lately, but the NAT-D freqs should be:

        2971
        4675
        8891
        11279
        13291

I have a rs dx390 radio.  Seems to be a simple radio.  Does anybody
else have a 390 and happy with it?
