Not necessarily...

LO%>to?  No, correct?  It is in a vinyl case, it is in really good shape,

Most tubes I know of glow (filament).  If a vacuum tube has gotten air
into it, it won't be the usual dull orange color and will burn out
quickly, so after a period of time a leaky tube will be dark and NOT lit
up.   Get the numbers from your tubes, but make sure you either can find
the company's tube location diagram inside one of the radio's covers or
you've drawn your own map of which tube should go into which socket as
you remove them one by one, so that you will know how to put them back
in. Numbers should be marked on the glass, if "miniature" tube--or
either glass or base for larger types, but I would think that those
wouldn't be used in portables, which is what yours sounds like. I just
got back from vacation and I didn't catch any previous postings in this
thread except some mention of it being a "Zenith WaveMagnet".  The "Wave
Magnet" refers to the encapsulated (separate) loop antenna that can also
be fastened to the radio's lid cover, provided in addition to the whip.
Sounds like what you've actually got is a Zenith Trans-Oceanic portable.

LO%>everything looks and works well except that.  So, how to find a new
LO%>tube?  Or should I have someone look at it first to make sure I kow what
LO%>to do?

Definitely "yes" to the latter, the problem might not be a tube...and
knowing someone who still has a tube tester these days is an invaluable
help in this semiconductor age!  A number of things could be causing
that problem you described--and someone troubleshooting without actually
looking at the set is not advisable...     :)

Pardon me if I jump in here...there are a couple of restaurants in the
Phoenix area that were started a generation or 2 ago, both with new
owners; one's in Scottsdale which caters to the "snob" element and
charges $20 dollars for a burger.  The new ownership didn't change the
restaurant one bit and it continues to do booming business.   The other
restauant's new owner is the son of the founder, and has opted to change
absolutely everything, confusing not only the clientele but the
employees as well--needless to say, he's losing business.

Moral of the story:  millions of current satisfied customers (of all
ages, I might add) can't be wrong--so if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

That latter approach is workable, but not en masse.  What has been done
in the past periodically is SWL's/DX'ers have approached local
newspapers to publish articles on the subject...but in the past, the
local media were familiar with radio sources of their own network news
that no longer exist.  Talk about shortwave radio to somebody in the
media these days and you'll get as big a "HUUUUHHHH???" as you would
from Internet vendors when you ask 'em how the Internet compares with
WWIV, which has beem more popular for a lot longer.  The folks who deal
in it can be just as uninformed as the neophyte, and so you're up the
creek no matter how you look at it...in the USA, that is.

What I don't understand is how Radio Nederland can choose to snub the
rest of the planet and chase after the internationally ignorant populace
(by and large) in the USA--because they're sounding less Dutch and more
American--including sounding just as ignorant--in their attempts to do
so. Go figure.

trying to sell you as far as old vs. new (young) battles because if that
was true, old fogies like The Rolling Stones and rewarmed music groups
like The Spin Doctors wouldn't be popular among younger crowds.  If
younger audiences didn't like the old stuff too, they wouldn't be buying
Janet Jackson's sample mixes and Eric Clapton "covers" by the billions.
The crap about another tired old Generation Gap war is just a thinly
disguised Pepsi-style marketing tactic cuz they're trying to go
commercial.

The biggest mistake comes from throwing out good stuff just cuz it's
old...and you Retro people know exactly what I'm talking about.
Smashing Pumpkins and Midnight Oil can come and go, but Melanie Merchant
and Selena--and Happy Station--are forever.

Hello.  All the tubes are supposed to glow.  The glow is caused by
current going through the heater in the tube.If it is not glowing,
chances are the tube is defective.  You mentioned the radio did work
one evening; one of the buttons might have dirty contacts, and needs
contact cleaner.

When the radio worked, if there was a low pitch "humming" sound along
with the audio, then one or more of the capacitors may need replacing,
as the older ones will go bad over time.

I don't have the radio you mentioned, but I have some older radios that
I like to use from time to time.

If you have any other questions, please write me at:

Armand, I can only speak for 9420 kHz.  Reception in Los Angeles is iffy.
And I have a top-notch tabletop receiver with a top-notch outdoor antenna.
Some nights it's only fair (3 on a 1-5) scale, and other nights I can't
hear it at all.  Coincidentally, on the "3" nights, I can also hear
Voice of America from Greece to the Mideast, which I shouldn't be able to
hear.  So it really depends on the propagation gods.

I'll be in the market soon for a Drake R8A receiver.  Does anyone have
any suggestions as to where to get the best deal on one?  I have the
Universal Radio catalog and figure that is where I would order one from.
Anyone have any better ideas?

Also, anyone have any idea of what other products Drake may be producing
any time soon?  I'm aware of their SW8...do they have anything else
coming up?

If only they'd bring back a good old transceiver...

Chris and the other SWLs in Europe:
Perhaps E-mailing or writing the VOA giving them these types of
comments or if your crazied enough... stage a protest outside of your
local USIA office... he he.

Seriously, if enough people respond then they could show justification
to continue SW broadcasts... I don't know but it is a thought.

More of a DX-ing question than shortwave, but here goes:

Is there any solution for severe RF noise problems with the Select-A-
Tenna. I live in an apartment complex with severe RF, and returned a base
model S-A-T (to Crane in California) when it proved to be unusable
indoors. Worked fine on the balcony, but it's getting cold. The modified
model they sent me has a mini-plug jack installed and 50 or so feet of
very thin wire that's supposed to act as an external antenna. Hooking
this up didn't help either, and actually amplified the RF noise at the
desired frequency.  And the new model doesn't seem to work as well by
itself on the balcony either. Would shielded cable to the outside help?
Will anything help? Or should I just return everything and give up?
Nothing I can do in my apartment attenuates the noise, which I attribute
to T-V's and car ignitions from a nearby interstate (because it drops off
considerably late at night). Thanx.

I was talking to some net-friends last night that said that they got the

radio and have never subscribed to a radio related newsgroup nor visited
a radio related web site.

I need to get a new antenna for my Sangean SG-789. The radio on the
case says Emerson PSW-4010, and this radio was never sold by Radio
Shack. Is there a place in the U.S. where I could get the antenna?

My car radio pulls in New York City reliably from Ottawa.  At night,
every slot on the dial seem to have a station.  Now, if they only
identified themselves more often...

I remember listening to WABC (I think) 770 in NYC for all of a 13 hour
drive from Sault Ste.  Marie to Ottawa, once.

Of couse, the station is 50,000 watts clear channel.

A Grundig Satellit 700 will do all of that, but it's not exactly cheap.

I heard the aboove test last night here in Calgary, AB. 560 is usually
dominated by KMON Great Falls, MT (day and night) and last night was
no exception. When I tuned in at 0200 EDT KMON was heard with ABC news,
with music from another station faintly in the background. At 0207 the
KLZ ID was heard plainly in Morse code under KMON. Those Morse ID's
sure cut through the QRM!

Many people who use the same Internet service provider that I do got the

I doubt they all subscribe to this newsgroup...

Armand, I can only speak for 9420 kHz.  Reception in Los Angeles is iffy.
And I have a top-notch tabletop receiver with a top-notch outdoor antenna.
Some nights it's only fair (3 on a 1-5) scale, and other nights I can't
hear it at all.  Coincidentally, on the "3" nights, I can also hear
Voice of America from Greece to the Mideast, which I shouldn't be able to
hear.  So it really depends on the propagation gods.

No Rob, you don't need a balun. Just put up a decent length of wire

You could be doing this part wrong.  Theoretically, you're supposed to key
in the EEPROM number, a decimal point, then the location (1 through 64).
Assuming you have only the one standard EEPROM, you might enter something
like 1.10 (EEPROM 1, location 10), then press STORE.

Bank zero (locations 0.1 through 0.64) is a ROM and can't be programmed.
From the behavior you describe, I wonder if you're trying to program one
of those zero-point-something locations.

If this isn't your trouble, you may have a bad EEPROM or one that is not
inserted correctly.  Or the radio may be defective.  If you can't figure
this out, you might try giving the Grundig 800 number a call if you are
in the US.  I found them to be very helpful.

Chiltern was doing this some time ago.  I queried the reason and got
no satifactory response.  If the playlist is the same, there seems
little point in having different DJs.

Have you heard any truely "local" programming on Amber?

A couple of nights last week, after not being able to hear Radio New
Zealand International on 15115 kHz due to poor propagation, I dialed
around and heard Radio Tanzania in Swahili (I think) on 7165. They came
in with a strong signal and interesting African music. I'm sure it was
them since I heard many mentions of Tanzania and Dar es Salaam (the
capital), and my 1993 WRTV Handbook says they transmit on 7165, though
with only 20 kW. This was between 0330-0430 UTC, when it seems that many
Africans can be heard in the 41 and 49 meter bands.

I was wondering if others in this newsgroup in the U.S. had heard Radio
Tanzania regularly and with a strong signal? I've heard Voice Of Nigeria
and Africa No. 1 in the past, which are closer and have more powerful
transmitters, but don't come in as clearly as Radio Tanzania did.

My Icom IC-725 ham transceiver tunes all the way down to 30 KHz.  It
transmits there too(!).

Hello.  All the tubes are supposed to glow.  The glow is caused by
current going through the heater in the tube.If it is not glowing,
chances are the tube is defective.  You mentioned the radio did work
one evening; one of the buttons might have dirty contacts, and needs
contact cleaner.

When the radio worked, if there was a low pitch "humming" sound along
with the audio, then one or more of the capacitors may need replacing,
as the older ones will go bad over time.

I don't have the radio you mentioned, but I have some older radios that
I like to use from time to time.

If you have any other questions, please write me at:
[e-mail]

Wayne Winter

I'll be in the market soon for a Drake R8A receiver.  Does anyone have
any suggestions as to where to get the best deal on one?  I have the
Universal Radio catalog and figure that is where I would order one from.
Anyone have any better ideas?

Also, anyone have any idea of what other products Drake may be producing
any time soon?  I'm aware of their SW8...do they have anything else
coming up?

If only they'd bring back a good old transceiver...

I am happy to report that I received my first QSL card in the mail today.

It is from good 'ole WWV, in Boulder, CO.  I sent them a letter a few
weeks ago asking for some more information about their operations, and
included a reception report.

They replied with the QSL card and a copy of NIST Special Publication:
"NIST:  TIME AND FREQUENCY SERVICES", or everything you ever wanted to
know about WWV / WWVH / WWVB but were afraid to ask.

So if anyone has any WWV / WWVH / WWVB questions, feel free to ask.

I have been enjoying SW in the past. I had two problems recently.

One was them light dimmers. Gave terrible BRRRRRR on the lower bands.
I solved that using a RFI filtered dimmer. If anyone has better solutions or
added enhancements please advise.

The other is that i do not have space for long antenna, thus my only way to
stretch is upwards. Presently strung along the windows, i am looking for
telescopic type antenna which will allow me much better reception.
Prefer DC motor driven. If anyone knows of such supplier, please post them
here.

Thanks.

FEBA Seychelles is well heard here in English at 1515 (scheduled 1458 - 1530
Tuesday to Friday, and - 1545 Sat. to Monday).  On 11870.  Use LSB for
excellent reception to avoid the usual WEWM splatter from 11875, also in
English.  Program heard at 1529 is Life Changes.  Address is given just
before, as POB 2526, Bangalore 560025, India.  Very pleasant soft-sell
Christian broadcasting to India.

              Cheers,    Walter Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada.

Here is the schedule for Radio Bulgaria in English, as heard at the
beginning of their 0500-0600 broadcast on Sunday October 1st:


0000-0100 to North America on 7480, 9700
0500-0600 to North America on 7480, 9700
1230-1330 to Asia on 9810, 11605
2000-2100 to Europe on 7335, 9700
2200-2300 to Europe on 7105, 9700


For anyone listening in the Asia/Pacific region, the 0500-0600 broadcast
is received rather well on both 7480 and 9700 kHz, here in Melbourne anyway.

I am considering having my JRC NRD-535D upgraded with the Sherwood
Engineering SE-3 MkIII Synchronous detector and hi-fi speaker.  I
believe that this modification will make this an NRD-535SE receiver.  I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had this modification
done, or who ownes an NRD-535SE receiver.  Is the modification
worthwhile?  How is the performance of the SE receiver?  Have you
considered the Gilfer and Lowe modifications as alternatives, and why
did you select the Sherwood one?

Thank you.

The R70 was my first "serious" DXing receiver some years ago, and I liked
it a
lot. I had a FL44A filter installed, and a matched set of International
Radio
filters for the 2nd and 3rd I.F. frequencies. In careful hands this radio
has
the basic performance and available controls to pull in many difficult
catches. Many DXers prefer the R70 to its followup, the R71A because a few
shortcuts were taken with the design in order to add more features.

Somewhere in my files I have an old Monitoring Times article about
computer-controlling the R70 with a Commodore 64 computer. It was pretty
simple, but I believe it allowed selection of 64 "memory" channels or files
of
freuquencies, and keyboard control of mode and filter. This article gave a
name and address for someone who was selling the C64 software.

    I bought a YB 400 this weekend (yay!) to replace my Radio Shack
DX-375, and was hoping to get some use out of the longwave
capabilities.  However, I don't seem to be able to pick anything up on
lw, so I was hoping someone could give me a few pointers for what to
listen for.  I have scanned all the lw frequencies possible with the
YB400, both with and without SSB on, and have gotten nothing.  I am in
West Des Moines, Iowa, USA--is there anything out there that I should
be able to hear from where I am?

According to a Sony engineer I was talking to, some at least of these
alleged broken connections are in fact not broken connections, but the
partial collapse of the button scanning or display driving chips due
to getting the radio wet, either by rain or spillage, or condensation,
and then trying to operate it. Being so portable, lots of people carry
it everywhere, which increases the likelihood of getting the internals
wet. If it gets wet inside, it should be dried out very thoroughly.
with the batteries removed, e.g. by keeping it warm and dry for a few
days, before attempting to operate it (it doesn't lose station
memories with batteries removed).

Note that the connections which pass through the folding lid use the
same kind of ribbon cable as is used to wire up printer heads, which
is bent once a printed line, and is capable of millions if not
billions of bendings without problems.

Nor have I (just checked). I guess the result of this SW cutback will
be that the US will be perceived in Europe as a country populated
entirely by crazed Christians (who can afford to broadcast to Europe,
it seems).  Odd too how Voice of Russia can afford to cover the world
with rather good radio programmes, and VOA can't.

Hear is some additional information:

I heard this station on Sunday 24 September, and again on Sunday 1 October.
Yesterday I checked it out almost all of the daylight hours. I first heard it
at 0739utc, but the carrier was there much earlier - I did not note it down.
It was going strong all day without interrupts in the transmitter output - at
1515 it was still going strong - but then the signal went down and eventually
it disappeared - for all I know it's up round the clock.

The setup sounds rather primitive, or should I say non-professional. I
checked diligently every hour, and half hour, as far as possible - no station
ID ever heard. Program material was preaching in English from many North
American sources - one from the Billy Graham group. One tape came from
London.

Audio quality was not too good, seemed somewhat distorted. The frequency
drifted between 15185.7 and 15185.8 kHz. The signal level was S9 or better on
the S-meter - I would estimate a 50 to 100kW transmitter. The fact that I
could hear it all of the daylight hours on that high frequency may put a
question mark on ST KITTS? Was there ever talk of a shortwave transmitter on
ST KITTS?

I heard one preacher saying "you're listening to me over radio Sint island of
kitts" or something very much like that, but other tapes said "copyright
1993", so it does not tie up. It seemed as if the station was just playing a
bunch of pre-recorded tapes - nothing 'live' as was mentioned in my club
bulletin by the member who first reported the station here.

Bottom line: has this station been mentioned in any of the shortwave
logs you get to see? After being around for more than 3 months around, DXers
should have come across it. I would like to know the name, locality, address,
when did it start broadcasting, type of information or whatever is available?

Thank you for your help

Will Radio Shack Desktop SW, the one which costs $200 with recording

    I bought a YB 400 this weekend (yay!) to replace my Radio Shack
DX-375, and was hoping to get some use out of the longwave
capabilities.  However, I don't seem to be able to pick anything up on
lw, so I was hoping someone could give me a few pointers for what to
listen for.  I have scanned all the lw frequencies possible with the
YB400, both with and without SSB on, and have gotten nothing.  I am in
West Des Moines, Iowa, USA--is there anything out there that I should
be able to hear from where I am?

The R70 was my first "serious" DXing receiver some years ago, and I liked it a
lot. I had a FL44A filter installed, and a matched set of International Radio
filters for the 2nd and 3rd I.F. frequencies. In careful hands this radio has
the basic performance and available controls to pull in many difficult
catches. Many DXers prefer the R70 to its followup, the R71A because a few
shortcuts were taken with the design in order to add more features.

Somewhere in my files I have an old Monitoring Times article about
computer-controlling the R70 with a Commodore 64 computer. It was pretty
simple, but I believe it allowed selection of 64 "memory" channels or files of
freuquencies, and keyboard control of mode and filter. This article gave a
name and address for someone who was selling the C64 software.

According to a Sony engineer I was talking to, some at least of these
alleged broken connections are in fact not broken connections, but the
partial collapse of the button scanning or display driving chips due
to getting the radio wet, either by rain or spillage, or condensation,
and then trying to operate it. Being so portable, lots of people carry
it everywhere, which increases the likelihood of getting the internals
wet. If it gets wet inside, it should be dried out very thoroughly.
with the batteries removed, e.g. by keeping it warm and dry for a few
days, before attempting to operate it (it doesn't lose station
memories with batteries removed).

Note that the connections which pass through the folding lid use the
same kind of ribbon cable as is used to wire up printer heads, which
is bent once a printed line, and is capable of millions if not
billions of bendings without problems.

Think the writer mentioned that it was a portable. Many ac/dc/battery
sets used "1" series tubes (1.5v filament). These do not glow visibly. More
likely the one tube that was glowing when plugged into the wall was the 117v
rectifier (prob 117Z3 or 117Z6). Thems does.

I am hearing this station in Texas as well.  Content seems to consist of
pre-recorded religious programs.  There seems to be no ID of any sort.  My
best guess would have to be Radio Africa/Radio East Africa from Equatorial
Guinea.  WRTH shows them at nominal 15190 kHz at 100 kW, with religious
programs in English.

As for St. Kitts, WRTH lists a MW religious broadcaster, Radio Paradise,
on 830 kHz.  It is possible that Radio Africa could simply be running
tapes from Radio Paradise.

So far, we have two SWLs with the same mystery.  Anyone else?

I know a cheap yoko radio, with limited shortwave possibilities. But with
sleep and time.
Maybe it's not what you are looking for, but it also means that there are
enough like them out there, that may cost more and can do more.
I hope you can find it.

I have had the same problem.  Apparently the controller gets into a bad
state in some power-surge conditions, and stays there.  Remove all power,
both line and battery, for a few hours.  This should be enough to reset
the controller.  This worked for me.

   My RS catalog shows a desktop SW communications receiver without
recorder at $399.99.  It may well outperform the 7600G, but it is
not described as having synchronous detection.  An all-wave set
DX-392 at $259.99 has a built in recorder.  I will be surprised
if it is as good as the 7600G as a short wave receiver, but
certainly it is much better as a cassette recorder!

        I just hooked up the supplied long wire antenna outside the window and
clipped the wire in the whip antenna with the alligator clip.  Do not try
connecting in the antenna input jack since it desensitizes the internal ferrite
rod antenna and MW reception gets worse; unless you can insert the plug half
way through and barely touch the plug adaptor.  I am not sure how the amplified
antenna works especially in the FM and Air bands.  I do not get good reception
on those bands with the long wire antenna.
        About the lightning, the best bet would be just unclip the alligator
clip and hope you are not too late!!  Hope this helps.

To be pedantic, Richard, just for fun...
the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are Crown dependencies and
are NOT part of the United Kingdom.

I will be buying a shortwave radio for the purpose of listening to the DW
stations in Germany.

Are these considered to be "strong" stations?

I ask because if they are, then I could get a less expensive radio.

A related question is:  if you listen to DW in Germany, then what brand
and model of radio are you doing it on?

If anyone has an opinion on these matters, I would be pleased to hear it!

Thank you very much.

[1. Yes, I have read the FAQ.   2. E-mail or post, as you wish.]

The manufacturer of the ANC-4 is JPS Technologies, who have a web page:

A few people have posted reviews of the AC-4; mostly favorable. I have one
and can also verify that with the proper "sniffing" antenna (close to the source
of your **LOCAL** electrical noise) it does work. It may take a lot of
tweaking the knobs - and RE-tweaking if the noise changes (e.g. TV flyback
transformer).

The essential condition is that the noise is LOCALLY generated, and there
exists a place in which the noise is stronger than the signal reaching
your main antenna. The ANC-4 is then adjusted to amplify the stronger
noise signal out of phase to the main antenna, thus cancelling it.

No magic - an old concept, but nicely implemented.

I agree with this, judging from what I was able to hear when I was visiting
Denmark in early June for the EDXC' 95 conference.  Although 6060 was
audible, both 846 from Rome and 900 from Milan were outstanding at night.
I certainly prefer RAI's domestic service to its dull English SW programming!
While most of the other convention-goers were probably getting their sleep
like normal people, I was sitting up in the middle of the night listening
to Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti in Donizetti's "Daughter of the
Regiment."  As we Yanks would say, "Not too shabby!"

been in Europe? I've never been to the Netherlands... but I have been to
most of Western Europe and I can tell you that they are not trying to
sound more American. Quite the contrary, they are sounding more European.
Sure the Happy Station was a great program and it was entertaining... but
it isn't the end of the world. All of RN's english language programs are
very interesting and entertaining. You don't know why the demise of The
Happy Station came about. Have you ever considered the fact that maybe
they couldn't find a host inthe station. Far-fetched perhaps, but not
entirely unlikely. Maybe the other programs were beginning to sound
sufficiently like the Happy Station that it isn't needed anymore. The last
I heard RN's programming, it all had the same style of informationa nd
entertainment that makes RN IMHO the best European station on SW. The
Happy Station type show will come back perhaps with another name, but it
will come back. RN is trying something different and it looks to me as if
they are trying to put on a fresh new face WITHOUT losing the same style
of programming that they offer. It seems to me only the names of the
programs are gone and not the value. What's more... transmitter time is
expensive. Keeping a redundant program on the air may be a nice thing but
it doesn't make any sense financially. It seems as if all governments are
cutting back on costs... especially when it comes to communications (look
at VOA and Kol Israel for examples) maybe they are just trying to manage
the best they can too.

This reminds me of my Swan 500C transceiver at home - on a good day
it can deliver 500W average on the 80m band.  The glow of the tube
filaments lights up the whole shack when the lights are out.  I
can even read the log by it!

Normally, there's a number of orange glows from all the heaters, and
of course a green glow from voltage regulator tube.

When transmitting, the driver tube (6GK6) emits a brilliant blue
glow.  This varies in intensity for SSB transmissions, and is keyed
between constant brilliance and darkness for CW transmissions.

I once saw the P.A. plates glow red when one half of the transmitting
dipole fell out of the sky :(

I do hope you find someone - I've had some fun times working on JOTA
stations in Australia.

OK, here's a question.  Why is it that in VK we *never* ever seem to
work any US JOTA stations?  I don't know one HF JOTA operator in VK who
has ever done that.

  They're on from 2PM to 5PM EST with Chuck Harder's program and
other programming after that on 9495 KHz.
  At my location in North Carolina I note that on this freq they are
often subject to severe interference from a station on exactly the
same frequency.

  I don't have any of their other freqs at hand.

Not ignorant at all.  Aside from some rare dx transmissions (I've been
told) there is the SCA bradcasts.  I'm looking for the reciever to
conduct an experiment.  I know I can buy an SCA decoder for my FM
radio.  I also know that the quality of these instruments aren't that
good.  I've learned from a remarkable individual and his web page...
Chros Smolinski   http://www.access.digex.net/~cps/shortwave.html

that you can take an FM receiver and connect the output (before
filtering) to the input of a receiver that receives below 100KHz and
get the SCA transmissions.

He says you get more of the spectrum that the SCA transmissions are in
by doing this and the quality of the reception is much better.

I want to try it, but alas, my Radio Shack DX-390 only goes down to
150 KHz.

That's why the question of where can I find a receiver that goes down
that far...

Got Passport 1996 and already found two "new stations" not mentioned in
their listings:

6160.024 kHz [0841Z 3 October '95] Radio France International. Unusual
for major broadcaster to be this far off frequency [24 Hz].

6200.054 ??? [0849Z 3 Oct '95] possible lady in Russian followed by
music.

Another bitch I have with Passport is I went to a lot of trouble to send
corrections and verifications of actual frequencies used by some of the
tropicals so this year's book could be updated. Marie Lamb, their cat's
paw, assured me these would be passed on to guy who actually puts together
freq listing. Forget it. I shouldn't have bothered. Not one thing was
changed. [This may NOT be Marie's fault]. They also are beating the drums
for some Sherwood add on for a WJ HF-1000. Funny that the lab they use for
technical evaluations is the very same Sherwood Engineering. Nothing like
a mild conflict of interest. Hardly news, but still I expect better.

In spite of all this, I couldn't imagine not buying this book and I am
particularly fond of their method of presenting the frequency listings. I
always enjoy reading it and it is THE book I recommend for newbies to SWL

The Watkins-Johnson HF-1000 goes down to 5 kHz. Among the fun signals
you can hear are low data rate [encrypted] RTTY to nuclear subs, and
the always exciting WWVB on 60 kHz. Also there are some that claim that
some of these low freq stations change frequency (probably in the order
of a very few Hertz) prior to an earthquake. My WJ is hooked to a
Rubidium freq standard and I have measured some stations frequencies to
one Hz, but I haven't had a quake to confirm this theory.

Several weeks ago someone was kind enough to post something akin to a FAQ
in re medium wave dxing.  In that document there was a reference to
organizations from which one could obtain plans for building a loop
antenna.  I either lost, misplaced (is that different from lost?) or
never had the references to those organizations. Can anyone out there
help me out?

BTW, I received my Select-A-Tenna in the mail just a couple of days ago.
Aside from some minor problems with overloading by strong locals, it
works quite well. The audio quality of my Sony 2010 isn't as good as the
GE SuperRadio III but the antenna and the digital readout together are
more than adequate compensation.

You have hit the nail on the head.

The message I read just before your one had no less than 53 lines of
quoted text, followed by "Very well put Mike."

What a waste of time.

I wanted to add my thoughts to the conversation (being an R8 owner),
but to do so would have been too time consuming for me. I'm on a
2400bd link to my news provider, and the posting software will not
let me post more quoted lines than line I type in myself.

To delete the needless quoting in the previous messages would have
taken me far too long to do.

C'mon team, please stop the needless quoting. It's a waste of
bandwidth and VERY ANNOYING!

Hi all,

a friend of mine wants to buy a receiver to begin some SWL-ing.
According to his budget and needings, he has focused his attention on
two models:

 - Philips AE 3625
 - Philips AE 3405

The price of these models is about the same here in Italy (the first
costing a little bit more).
The first has a digital tuner based on a PLL circuit; the seconds has a
normal tuner, but with dual conversion.
To begin with, is it better to have a digital tuner or a better
selectivity?

Thanks for your help,

      Antonio Schifano

I bought a shortwave radio to get the BBC in the south island, New
Zealand a few months ago, but never got round to using it. My dad
uncovered it when his broke down, and now wants to use it.

Trouble is, I threw away the manual. We figured out how to turn it on and
unlock it, but can't actually tune it. We can set the time, but that's
all it does. Is there a button I'm not pressing? How do I actually work
it? All he wants is to get a FM station and some other station in SW but
none of the buttons seem to turn on the radio part of the machine.

If you know of anyone in Singapore who sells manuals like this (can't
find a shortwave place or the Sangean manufacturers listed here) I'd
greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks very much,

D. Edmonds

Actually, I found out that the transmitters just a few kilometers from me
are only about 5kw or less. The problem is in fact coming from two national
broadcasters (5CL @ 729kHz and 5RN @ 891 kHz) located in line of sight in
the same place, but about ten or fifteen km away. Both these are
transmitting at 50kW. The transmitters located nearby are causing no
problems. I bought myself an MFJ-956 passive preselector ($40 in the USA,
AUS$100 here in Australia) and all my MW problems vanished! I had no
trouble at all picking up all sorts of low powered tropical transmissions
in the 2000-4000 kHz range where previously I was getting a lot of
interference from those stations in the MW band. I wonder if the problem of
MW interference occurred because in the R8A, the sensitivity in the MW band
is so high (higher infact than the earlier R8) - I've heard that on other
receivers the makers tend to reduce sensitivity to avoid the sorts of
problems I had.

Anyway, I'm more than happy with the R8A. OK, I had to buy the preselector,
but gee, the performance of this radio is something else (especially when
you've been used to a Sangean ATS 803a)!

Cheers,

Nicholas

Just picked up a copy of Brendle's (a catalog showroom store) 1995-96

Radio Tanzania, like most of East Africa, is not heard regularly
in North America. The last few nights have been good for East
Africa, however. They can also be heard during good conditions
on 5050 kHz. They don't answer reception reports much thought!

I agree one hundred percent. Facists on the net should be treated the same

Hi,

I have had my 2010 receiver for about 5 years now and it has, in the past,
locked up on me.  I have turned the master switch off, removed the
batteries, shaken it, and for some strange reason it has worked.  But, this
time, nothing will make it unlock.  It is as if the cpu is not working
correctly.  When I turn the unit on, all I get is static.  The freq will not
change, I can't change modes, and I can't even turn it off without turning
the master switch off.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is this something major that will cost more than the radio is worth?

Thanks for your help/advice.

I suspect it's because the two are routed differently through the
Internet. Due to the complex way the Net works, I doubt that any of
use receive 100% of the messages posted in a particular newsgroup. I
often see replies to messages, the originals of which never show up.
You are doing the best thing by subscribing to two different feeds.

I was unable to verify WOBL during the Oct 5th test. Rats. But, I was
able to hear some of the test from WZEP this past Saturday (Oct 7). I
have to agree wholeheartedly with the gentleman who said that the Morse
code cuts right through the heart of the QRM. Does anyone know what power
level WZEP was running for this test?

I live on a piece of land approximately 200 ft by 325 ft,
and I'm about to put up a longwire antenna. My question is,
am I better off going for the longest straight length
possible (that is, along the diagonal)?

Alternatively, what kind of results would I get by running
the wire in an L or U shape on two or three sides of my
lot--following the perimeter. This would give me more overall
length, but not as much length in a single straight line.

I'd like to avoid putting up a dipole because of where my
house sits on the lot, power lines, and other factors.

Thanks for your help...

I doubt it.  The chugging noise you hear is the settling time of the
synthesizer VCO loop.  To shorten the settling time would require an
increase in the loop gain or a reduction of the phase shift within the
loop.  Either change would likely require extensive modification to
the phase locked loop circuitry and careful engineering to ensure loop
stability.

How strong is your back??

These are great receivers and arguably the best example of analog,
vacuum tube receiver design and provide good value.  The flexibility
afforded by 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, and .1 KHz mechanical filters allows a
well aligned R-390A to equal or surpass the performance of modern
solid state radios in real world DXing in crowded bands.  They have no
synthesizer-induced phase noise because they don't use a synthesizer
for frequency selection.  They have excellent immunity to overload
from strong signals.  If your idea of good SWLing is to listen to
music on really strong powerhouse stations, the 16KHz bandwidth sounds
great.  Modifications are commercially available to enhance the audio
response.

You can find these receivers for sale between $300 and $500 depending
on condition.  You need to spend about 3 times that much for
equivalent performance in a new solid state receiver.

On the flip side the R-390 weighs about 80-90 pounds.  You don't want
to pack it on your next DXpedition to the beach.  I also find the
absence of an audio notch filter to be annoying when using the wider
bandwidths.  Maybe an outboard DSP audio processor would compensate
for this omission.  I hope this helps you decide.

P.S.  Make sure you know that the unit has been legitimately obtained
by the seller.  Many of these receivers have been distributed through
the MARS system to affiliate stations but remain the property of the
US Government.  Caveat Emptor!

The following was found in a May 1995 posting from Rick Seifert of
Radio Marti:

"Title 47, CHAPTER I,SUBCHAPTER C, PART 73, Subpart F, Sec. 73.788
Service; commercial or sponsored programs."

"(a) A licensee of an international broadcast station shall render
only an international broadcast service which will reflect the culture
of this country and which will promote international goodwill,
understanding, and cooperation. Any program solely intended for and
directed to an audience in the continental United States does not meet
the requirements for this service."

"(28 FR 13696, Dec. 14, 1963, as amended at 37 FR 25843, Dec. 5,
1972; 38 FR 18896, July 16, 1973)"

This is as close as the regulations come to banning domestic shortwave
broadcasting.  The key word is "solely".  If they can show they have
even one listener outside the country, they can get around this
wording.

This is only a guess but there may be a problem with one of the
devices between your receiver and your antenna.  The Europa is one of
the best receivers available so that is not your problem.  A sloper
antenna will receive best from the low end of the wire but the
directional effect is not really that great.  Here is my suggestion.
Try a process of elimination.  Connect a ten foot piece of insulated
wire to your receiver antenna input.  If the receiver hops to life,
you know the receiver is OK.  Next connect the sloper coax feedline
directly to the receiver without the intervening lightning protectors.
If it works one of your protectors is faulty.  If not, you likely have
a shorted piece of coax.  Check the center pin of the coax connector
to the shield with an ohmmeter.

Troubleshooting this kind of problem is easy but requires a methodical
approach to eliminate the cause.  Good luck.

Dear my future partner(friend):

   My name is Guan shan-wei,male,I was born in ji lin province of
china in 1965,1,29.I was graduated from Yan-Bian university,
mathematics major in 1986,7. I major in computer. I am interested
in the domains of
social,economic,culture,technology and other domains.Now I live
in chang chun city,the provincial capital of ji lin province,I am
working in Chang-Chun city Shen-Wei technology limit company,I am
the manger of the company.our company is engaged in international
enterprise,exchange of international liternature,information sever,
developing  of computer soft and so on business.
   I always want to do a great business, at present I am brewing a
 development plan of international domain,I call it "21 century
international talent cooperation".The concrete content : we can
 choose thousand of excellent middle school student and pupil,and
 choose in foreign country as well as.let them one person to
 person,or one person to several person,make 'the international
 good friend',they can connect through e-mail and aviation surface
 mail, we can abide by the following principle:the same age,the
close grade,the same sex.they are all interested in opposite country
for reference only of individual hobby,because they have a great
change of nature,The grand plan will have the following benefit
for each other:
1: they can learn language each other(they can write letter in
   English begin ,because in china all of middle school student
and higher grade pupil learn English.after several years,every
person in foreign who can learn chinese .then  they can write
letter in English or chinese.they can improve the level of
composition as soon as.at the same time of learning language,
they can improve other subject knowledge.a few years later they
can understand the opposite country`s culture ,local conditions
and customs.
2: Broaden their outlook,they will know through this method , they
   can understand the foreign country and their person's life.so
that they will build the vigour of international,fraternal unitey,
equality and mutural help each other.
3: Improve their prestige,because this is a value thing,through it
   they have built their self-confident .
4: At the same time,the family of them can build :"the
 international good  family" two country's friend-ship will improve .
5: with the improve of their age and  friendship , they can vist each
   other,and ask for one person come to their own country and visit,
   travel,study abroad.when they graduate from university,they will
   become the good messenger of two country's friendship.it will
   improve the understand of two country's people and  the
   development of economic,lay a foundation for the generation
   friendship of two country.
6: Ten years or several ten years later,they will have their social
   status in their country,they will produce the effect of great
   advance for the cooperation and development of friendship.certainly
 there is other benefit we don't say one by one.
   From this plan,we can know it is a profit thing for country and
   people.there are a lot of benefits and no harm .after carrying
   out,it will be accepted by local government,the head of family
   and all of student,but this is a great business of internation
   cooperation,special it connect with opposite side's country ,so we
   need many people help us and attend it,the person is that we want
   to find the cooperate fellow.
         I believe , our cooperation will succeed,it will make the
   world be come beautiful,and many children who  come from all
kind of country will take the benefit as our plan of today's
cooperation,today's action.by then they will make great devote for
our two country's cooperation and development.If then ,we can
self-confident say "we have made a great thing in this world "about
the method of carrying out,way of action ,method of managing.
       please all friends who are interested in this plan,
reply to e-mail  and discuss the details of the plan with us.

Has anyone tried out the new Grundig Yacht Boy 500 SW receiver?  Any
thoughts as to whether it's better than its predecessor, the YB 400
(which I like) and the Sony ICF-2010?

For that matter, I haven't found anywhere that's selling them around
here (Atlanta), and I didn't see any while flipping through Monitoring
Times, so if anyone has any thoughts about where to buy one and how
much they cost, I'd be quite interested.

I'm looking at it as something a little more practical to shove in
a suitcase or bookpack than a Satellit 700, yet capable of storing
name tags with frequencies.

Anyhow, thanks in advance for the help .....

I have used one for many years and have not had any problems
with it . It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the
current Icom receivers on the market today. It has no
provisions for computer control. Hopefully this is some help.

I want to purchase a Phillips 777 Shortwave Auto Radio, but this unit appears
to be off the market and unavailable from Grove or Gilfer.

Does anyone know of a source for this or similar/update model

Comments appreciated.

Thank you,

Last night (19:00 GMT) I heard Radio Caroline on 87.7MHz.
My QTH is Sth London, on a hill ;-) But from my reciver the Signal

I believe this station is Radio Africa, Equitorial Guinea. It's listed in
WRTH 1995 on 15190 kHz, but I've heard them around 15186v kHz a few times
over the past year. QTH: P. O. Box 851, Malabo, Equitorial Guinea, or

Keep propogation in mind.  Maybe it was just simply very poor during

In view of recent and pending budgetary actions one can expect to see
additional cuts.

To put it another way, "In view of budgetary constraints and operational
considerations, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off
until further notice."

In short, what I said was that certain major European broadcasting

fudging.

Am I the only one who has noticed that the people making the most noise

Hi,
..About the connection between the folding lid and the main body... it
appears that the ribbon cable replaces a different type of multiple conductor
used in earlier models.
My unit Ser.#13987, which failed after only 11 months of not very severe
service, was finally replaced by SONY with a new unit after attempts to repair
it failed.The replacement radio(Ser.# 37574 definitely has the ribbon type
cable. What I could see of the old connector looked like a rigid 'bar'with
copper strips rotating in  some kind of conducting 'bearing'cups on the ends.
Since it is mechanical with parts moving against one another it is bound to
fail sooner than a flexible ribbon cable.
Anyway, good on SONY of Canada for replacing it!
Cheers,
Don

Dear Melfyn,

You might have a look at the JPS Communications ANC-4 Antenna Noise
Canceller. It can help you with the noise generated by local sources
such as the high tension lines you describe.
You can read about it at
http://emporium.turnpike.net/J/JPS/jps.html
or if you don't have WWW access, email [e-mail] for more info.

CNN produces two hourly 5-minute newcasts, and also offerS CNN Headline
News to radio stations.  It is distributed by WestwoodOne (which also both
produces and distributes NBC Radio, Mutual and The Source).
The CNN product was inherited when Westwood bought out Unistar.

Hi-
I use a 100' wire antenna & have lots of room for a longer one if
it's worth it. (I use a Dx440 for SW & LW).  Would lengthening
the antenna to, say, 200' noticably improve reception?
Thanks

The funny thing is that Paul was touting the Grunding over the Sony in
this very forum a few months ago.  My suspicion?  The Grundig is a
higher margin product.  Why else would we see it with a wider
distribution (i.e. sold in Airline Inflight Catalogs and in the L.L.
Bean Catalog.)  The product must have a lower manufacturing cost since
it is made in China and Grundig must wholesale them at very little
dollars compared to the 7600G.

You may also infer as to it's quality given the above.

JMHO.

Just pulled CWAVE off the net.  Don't seem to be having much luck with
it.  The error message seems to imply I don't have enough horsepower on
my machine to run it.  I have a Compaq Presario 920 CDS machine (66MHZ
'486 running Windows for Workgroups)

Do I need a FP processor or should a 66MHZ box cut it for this
application?

BTW I'm VERY interested in hearing from folks who use CWAVE.

We have a Phillips DC777 available for sale for $379.  It has never
been installed and is in perfect condition.  I posted this here as
opposed to swap to let the users here get first chance at it.  I know
that these radio's are hard to come by in this condition.  I have one
and it is great.

Item number is UDC777 if you need anymore info please give me
a call.

go for selectivity. I just got rid of a very compact an inexpensive sony
digital that cost about 100 dollars U.S. and bought an extremely compact
sony dual conversion with regular tuning. the digital had not so great
selectivty while the other has great selectivity and is about as large as
a pack of cigarettes, about half an inch thick and cost me 70 dollars U.S.
It's reception is much better and compares quite well with my Grundig
satellit 700. I carry it with me all the time.

Iv'e had a YB400 for over a year now and I'm very pleased with it's
operation.  The few areas I feel it is lacking are it's physical
attributes...for example, it should have a handle, not a carry cord.  In
addition, the folding support behind the unit is very lite duty; care
must be taken not to break it.

Apparently Radio Tanzania is being rebroadcast by a station somewhere
in the south of Africa until the elections in Tanzania are over. After
that it will proabably go silent again. HCJB's DX Partline
covered this but I don't remember what country was rebroadcasting
Radio Tanzania

I hooked up a longwire antenna cut for 9.9MHz (100') to my SONY
ICF 7600G and noticed alot of images all over the the SW spetrum.
So i guess if the front end of your receiver can handle the
increased signal without overloading then, yes, lengthening
the antenna to would noticably improve reception (increased signal
gain).

Longwires are cut to at least one full wavelength of the frequency
to be received. Your 200' longwire would be cut for 5 MHz (best
performance in the 5 MHz range).

even the synch feature on my Satellit 700 doesn't allow complete
'removal' of the heterodyne, nor does the use of USB or LSB.  I believe the
interfering station is on or very close to the BBC freq.  Too bad there
is no other good signal during much of the relevant times.
I wonder if BBC is aware of this situation, and if their knowledge of it
would induce them to activate another good channel

Andy - That doesn't sound as if it's merely a toy!  In an emergency
situation, with the power out and you're low on batteries, it could
mean the difference between life and death!  I can think of many uses
for it for sailors, hikers, search and rescue units...  and in the
Third World, it would enable people to hear broadcasts from the
outside!

I had the exact same experience myself. When I placed both units side by side
at Gilfer the Sony one definately came out on top.

        Propagation from the East Coast to the South Atlantic is usually
pretty good on 20 meters (14 MHz) during the afternoon, a couple of hours
before sunset.  You really shouldn't need such a great set up if you're
going to be talking to family.  If you want to break through a pile up
for 3Y (Bouvet Island), however, get a nice linear amplifier and slap a
TH7DX beam onto a 190 foot tower, hi.

Hello!

I bought a SW55 while studiing in Germany, and now that  I have returned to Portugal, I have a problem.
In Germany, FM broadcast goes from 87.5 to 108 Mhz, but in Portugal it starts at 76Mhz. I would like to know if, by a combination of keys, or other means,

Thanks in aadvance

Pedro

My mother-in-law has some shortwave equipment for which she has no
use.  She isn't looking to sell it, but she's considering donating it
to a ham-radio teacher and would like to know how much it's worth.
Any feedback on fair market value of the following would be
appreciated.  Since I won't describe the condition of the pieces in
detail it would be easier if you can give three price estimates based
on condition: Like-New (N); Typical wear and tear (T); Distressed (D).
In fact, most of the equipment has been very well cared for.  Feel
free to fill in the blanks and return this to me.  I'll summarize if
there's interest.

Thank you very much.

Here in Edmonton, I have to contend with Radio Havana on 05970 and WYFR
on 05985.  They both put out an annoying het, especially the latter.

BTW, 05975 was selected because about 10 years ago, Radio Moscow on 06170
gave QRM on the BBC's 06175.  They did it partly because of constant
complaints by their monitors.

Perhaps in my next reception report to them, I'll try and nudge them a
bit.  They could, for example, beef up 07325 in the early local evening,
but there's the possibility of QRM from 07315 (a religious station,
possibly WWCR).

After many years of SWL listening with older radios and make-do antennas,
I realized a dream and bought a Lowe Europa, an Alpha-Delta 60-ft. Sloper
Antenna, and a Radio Shack Optimus-7 speaker.

The antenna is 40 ft high, sloping to 15 feet. Although the instructions
say 25 ft. Is the optimum height, and I first installed it at that height,
a subsequent phone call to the manufacturer told me that the higher the
better. It╣s at a north-west angle, although I╣m told that directionality
isn╣t important with this length of antenna, at this height. The downlead
does come close to a metal gutter, but the mfr. says this isn╣t critical.
The live wire isn╣t close to any metal at all.

The shielded coax cable from the antenna goes through a îReceiver Guard╣
from Universal Radio and a lightning suppressor from Alpha-Delta. The
suppressor and receiver are grounded with #6 solid copper wire to an 8-ft.
copper ground rod, driven 5 ft. Into the ground. I consult Passport
religiously for times and frequencies. I think I did everything right.

And I can barely hear anything! As I write (midnight in Eastern North
America), I╣m tuning in BBC clearly at 5975, less clear at 6175.
Netherlands is fine at 6020. But almost nothing else. I can get Cuba some
evenings, not tonight. I╣ve heard Prague, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, with
a clarity that would satisfy a DX╣er, but not a program listener. I fiddle
with the synchronous detector and bandwidth filters to no effect.

SWL╣ers shouldn╣t expect FM audio quality, I know - or even local AM.
Propagation is expected to be better next year and better yet in 1997,
courtesy the sunspot cycle. But I had thought I╣d have at least
_listenable_ quality from Eastern European stations. Culture and music are
my interests; neither requires high fidelity, but both appreciate
something more than the constant fading, distortion and static that I get.


Do I have a bad radio? Is the antenna set up wrong? Am I expecting too
much? All advice appreciated.

Passport 96 says it's a high-end model, due out in early 96, will have
computer-assisted tuning, and cost around DM1000.

UAE Radio/Abu Dhabi broadcasts a radio play at (roughly) 2300 UTC on
Saturdays. I last listened way back in May, when they aired *The Loves of
[unintelligible] and Lena: A Centuries-Old Romance for the Radio.*  They
also send a very nice QSL letter, FYI.

Hooray! Every time I hear their English ID, I find myself hoping R.
Denmark would add an English-language broadcast.  With so many stations
*going satellite* let's not take this new offering for granted.

I'm glad I'm not the only SWL who gets annoyed with DW's freq choices.
During the summer, they effetively drowned out Radio Norway's only freq
that wasn't out-of-band.

From my visits to Amsterdam, R. Netherlands sounds much more Dutch than
American. On a recent Mothers Day, the Happy Station saluted lesbian moms,
while in the US we had Newt Gingrich extolling *family values.* The
Netherlands is much more than those tired old wooden shoes.

And RNI's relentless worship of satellite technology certainly isn't
geared for a US market.

Just my opinion,

With so many international broadcasters chasing after the satellite
audience, SWLs are often treated like an embarassing, eccentric relative.
But I find that R. Austria is a happy exception. Their first-class
listener relations staff embraces the SWL, and they QSL with speed and
warmth. They also produce a fine English-language program.

It's been a rough year for the shortwave listener, so I'm doubly
appreciative of the efforts of thise broadcaster.

What is really needed is this info in computer form--say on CD-ROM.
(which I believe is cheaper to publish) Could you imagine how much more
useful the blue pages would be if you could search and sort them by any
critereon? (e.g. have them not only in frequency order but in station
alpabetical order)

They also have quite some music mags, Focus On Africa, et alia. I think
the Beeb, beginning with Radio Times (which I believe is now dead) has
always been heavily into the magazine business.

As of yesterday, I couldn't find it in San Francisco, Oakland or
Berkeley, including Barnes and Noble in the latter two cities. Several
places I checked had the September edition still out.

The broadcast transmission of Kol Israel at 5:00 UTC (1:00 AM EDT until
the change to standard time here) is virtually impossible to listen to,
at least in Maryland.

At 7475 kHz, the signal from Israel is reasonably strong, but WEWN
from Birmingham, Alabama comes blasting through.  Pope or no Pope
in Baltimore, it's objectionable, particularly from a U.S.-based
station that is supposedly broadcasting to other countries (WEWN is a
Catholic religious station).

At 9435, I haven't heard anything.  Is Kol Israel still broadcasting at
that frequency?

I haven't seen on this newsgroup any discussion of how frequencies are
taken/assigned within the international shortwave bands.  As consumers,
shouldn't we have a say in this process?

Strange.  Are you sure it's unlocked?  Also, it could be that your
backup battery is OK, but the Radio batteries are either dead or
missing.

When you do get your 808 working, note that you can get 1 kHz readout
with the tuning knob but not with the manual up-down tuning buttons.
The 808 is a very sensitive radio.  I use it to pick up shortwave
and FM stations that none of my other radios can receive, including
my Sony 2010 and GE Superradio.

The fax number for Sangean in Taiwan is

886-2-9226072  fax

Strangely enough, this was the explained audience in 1993, but I can't
seem to get Limbaugh from WRNO anymore.

Is he on SW anymore?  Or rebroadcast on A-farts?

Radio Shack has an "extensive" repair network and I'm ecstatic that
they've opened it up for non-Radio Shack parts.  This may be a
residual decision based on Tandy's ownership of general electronics
merchandise outlets such as Computer City and Incredible Universe.
They always send the broken stuff to some far-off place, but it never
seemed to take more than 2 or 3 weeks in my recollection.

I've caught a few of these programs today on WRNO and WWCR.  It seems
that the religious portions of the current show are only there to
satisfy some obscure US restriction on domestic shortwave
broadcasting.  It also seems the "devils" and "satans" in the
scripture references allude to the officials and/or legislators talked
about in the current week's programming.

And I wish they'd LEARN HOW TO USE A COUGH BUTTON.  I guess they could
if I can learn how to use a caps lock key.

Ref: Objecting to Rush Limbaugh...

There is a group in the U.S. that defines themselves as
"Liberals"...and this group has a problem with anyone
that dares to differ with them or, heavens forbid, point
out that their philosophies are out of line with the
rest of the universe!

You will note that they are on this forum...spewing out
their message...if you say things I disagree with then
you are a "Hate monger" or this is "Hate Radio"...
ad infinitum...these people are childish..ignore them!

Limbaugh daily punctures their "baloons" and they
can't take it. What a sight to see!

As stated before...ignore them and continue to enjoy
this interesting hobby of ours..Short Wave!

It probably dosen't help in the USA but Lowe's sell a very good radio (the SX50 I think) for
39.00 UKP  in the UK. For its price range it had a good (if off the wall) write up in SWM. I
believe Lowe have a USA distribution network.

This could be true.... The value of a balun depends on

1. How noisy the enviroment is close to the feed in for your radio

2. The length of the long wire that you can put up (100ft.. envy envy!)

3. The use of any preselector / atu

4. How good your rig is at using a mismatched impedance aerial

I have a yaesu comms reciever which has been imeasurably improved by the use of balun and 16m
(approx 40-50ft) of wire cf the old set up of 7m of wire and an active preselector (but a very
poor one!).  It is of course very hard to seperate the contibution of the extra wire length /
balun (without testing the shorter aerial on the balun which I haven't bothered doing!)

I'm not saying Brian is wrong in the ideal situation just that a balun might help the rest of us
cope with small gardens and an electrical enviroment close to our radio feedlines that make my
wife look quiet in comparison (by her own admission she isn't !)

FREE. I recieve this letter in the mail from a friend
that had told me it works. I gave this to one of my friends

This is probably one of the best descriptions I've ever seen of this newsgroup--ought to be in
the FAQ!

Whether we like it or not, satellite radio is the future of broadcasting, including international.
It won't be the only future, but it will definitely be one of the ways that radio programming will
be delivered in the coming decades.  I'm sure that ten, twenty, maybe even fifty years from now
we will have a mixture of programming delivered via analog and digital radio.  So I wouldn't
ditch the SW radio just yet, but I would start embracing the inevitable future of satellite radio.

In the Seattle area I've seen it at two different Barnes and Noble bookstores, which has turned
out to be a more reliable source than any other newsstand, at least here.

I just can't understand why BBC has had such trouble getting the magazine distributed in a
timely fashion.  Supposedly mailing it from the US was supposed to solve the lateness problems
but I can really see no difference.  Several times I've considered subscribing to it, but always end
up not--am not too keen about shelling out $50 for something that shows up a week or two
late every month.   Besides, with most of the programming/frequency schedule info avaiable on
their WEB site, BBC Worldwide is somewhat irrelevant.  But when I do buy it, I do buy it for the
articles. (Where have I heard that before?!)

Besides the vegetarian magazine (printed on high-fiber paper) BBC also puts out a rather gaudy
 gardening magazine.

Oh yes, it's still available.  Besides the chain discount stores, try the "big box" stores:  outlets
like Circuit City, The Good Guys, Future Shop, and other appliance/stereo/giant TV chains.
I've also seen it in a number of larger drug stores.  And of course, there is always mail order.

Sure sounds like something in your apartment (or worse yet, one of your neighbors) is the
source of your interference.  Since your getting OK reception on your balcony, I would first try
some good quality shielded coaxial cable, but because the SAT is inductively coupled to your
radio, you're still going to likely get the noise "entering" your radio directly.   If you haven't
already, try to track down the source of the interference.  With a battery-powered radio tuned
to the peak of the noise, start turning off the circuit breakers at the electrical service box one
by one and see if the noise disappears when one particular breaker is switched off.  If that
works, you can then test each individual lamp, appliance, etc. plugged into that circuit by
plugging and unplugging it.  (It helps to have someone assist you with switching the breakers
on and off). In this way I've tracked down noise from an electric blanket control box and a fish
tank heater.  If when all the breakers are off you still have the same noise level, it's probably
coming from someone else's apartment, which likely isn't solvable.  Before giving up though, go
outside with your radio and walk around the apartment, "dowsing" for noise around lamp posts,
traffic lights, and other electrical devices.  (In this way I found out that the garage door opener
for my building was putting out terrific noise.)  If a light post is causing the noise, you can
usually get a lot of cooperation from the power company.

The October issue of Monitoring Times has an article on power line interference.  It's worth
reading.  Good luck.

(remainder of article snipped)

There seems to be a definite difference in approach between PWBR and the WRTVH.  Passport
seems almost more of a promotional piece for shortwave listening, with a large part of the
feature article geared toward gently guiding a quivering newcomer through the perils of
listening to "worldband radio" (a term I find very grating).  That's the approach they have
taken, and it works quite well.  Although it's "look at all the amazing things you can hear"
approach might get tiresome for those who have been listening to shortwave to a while, I think
books like the WRTVH can be a bit overwhelming and intimidating to someone who is just
starting out.  The WRTVH is probably a better guide overall, certainly more comprehensive, but
I still buy PWBR every year:  the blue pages and the receiver reviews make it more than worth
the price.  Actually, my solution over who is better is to just simply buy them both every year.

With the growth of the Net, one doesn't have to rely just on the reference books anymore.
There's no shortage of up-to-date information available.  Which is one reason why I think we
are now in the "golden years" of shortwave listening.

I'm not sure how a station would sound "less Dutch and more American" but I sometimes think
 that if this in fact true, that it's just another example of how American culture continues to
permeate everything. (What in my more Marxist days I would have called "cultural
imperialism".)  We might have a screwed up culture in a lot of ways, but boy howdy, folks
overseas just can't seem to get enough of our music, sports, movies, and mass media, and our
ways of presenting it.  Like it or not, when it comes to the mass media, we Americans set the
standards, and everyone else has to follow it or perish.  Yee-haw!

And of course, it's that age-old problem of not having a reliable way of measuring an
international audience, so that a particular station can tell what we listeners "want".  What
these international broadcasters need to do is hire some high-power U.S. marketing firms with
lots and lots of high-paid consultants who will TELL them what we listeners want to hear.
("Tonight, live from Amsterdam, it's Blaze vs. Jonathan Marks in a duel to the finish on
INTERNATIONAL GLADIATORS!!!")

And as for the satellite radio thing, Bill Gates will fix all that.  Just you wait ;)

In 1987 I bought a Toshiba headband radio - plastic headband with two

Rx worked from a single AAA for a few weeks at a time, with moderate
use (walking and on the bus).   Anyway, that set died a year or so
ago, and I couldn't get spare earpiece covers (thicker than ordinary
audio headsets)...   I'm going to Chicago and on to the West Coast and

The DX-375 was referred to me as a decent radio for the money
last year. At $100 it is a decent deal, for $69 even better.
If I wanted a small inexpensive radio for travelling or for

I'd buy it.

Sure thing! Got mine last Christmas from Kmart - or was it Lowe's...

Great to hear you caught WZEP! I believe they were running at 5 kW, WOBL
at 1 kW...WZEP's engineer was uncertain about the test, as due to the
hurricane his power was interrupted intermittantly, but I heard them just
fine, both voice and CW, here in northern AL! And that's despite a strong
local on 1450!

|I am looking for a widebanded RX amplifier and would like some

|a problem.

|I would like the following specs...
|Actual RF amplification performed at antenna
|Adjustable gain
|30Mhz - 470 Mhz (or higher) coverage
|Integrated selectable FM BCB trap
|Relatively low noise gain

|I've seen the RS amps, but was hoping that there was better amplifiers for

|only amplify freqs >54Mhz; and I would like the 45Mhz PS band to also be
|amplified.

Check the amateur radio rags for the _HAMTRONICS_ advertisements, as they
have some very good low-noise amplifiers that should fit most of your
requirements; they won't have a selectible FM BCB trap, but, nevertheless,
I'm sure that their performance won't disappoint you... price range will
probably be in the $60-$80 price range... as the selectivity of the tuned
circuits won't be very hot, they should have useful gain even into the 30-
50 Mhz range...

Diane,

[snip stuff about not posting satellite info]

I think you are getting too serious. This group is called
rec.radio.shortwave, but that doesn't really indicate its use: it is
about listening to radio programming which doesn't come from a local
broadcaster, that is either the major international broadcasters, minor
international broadcasters, or non-local domestic broadcasting. It
doesn't really matter whether the service is via shortwave, mediumwave,
local FM relay, satellite or internet. The main thing is to keep people
informed of technical and non-technical developments and promote
discussion thereof. Pretending satellite delivery doesn't exist won't
make it go away.

us that they are relaying Radio Tanzania from Meyerton during the
election period. (There are general elections in Tanzania on 29th
October.) They want all Tanzanians to be able to hear them during this

Sad really, that a fairly big country's national broadcasting service
cannot provide adequate transmissions to its own country without foreign
help.

In radio terms Tristan de Cunha and St Helena are silent as far as
broadcast shortwave goes, except for the very infrequent specials. Don't
know if Gough Island even has a permanent population, or just research
scientists on six-month tours of duty. Both Tristan and St Helena are on
the international direct dial phone network :-) and I think that they
both have active amateurs.

First for me last night - heard the English broadcast from Radio Yerevan
on 9965kHz (announced 7480 in parallel; not checked) 2130-2200 in
English. Program was news, a commentary (good standard of English) and
Armenian ballads. It sounded rather muffled and undermodulated to me - I
could not make out the streetname in the address.

Aerobeacon IPA-280 was logged in Chicago on 10/7/95 at 0803 UTC with
continuous CW IDs. This one has been logged previously in the midwest, but
is new for me. At just short of 5000 miles, it is my second furthest
beacon logged.  73 de Robert Kramer  N9MBK

   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.

I wish the folks at Passport would come out with a second version, featuring
just the blue pages section, updated quarterly.  Perhaps a little more
spacing between entries (or an A size version) for additional info, making
notes, etc. would be good also.  I use both the WRTH, the Passport blue
pages, and other sources but have found the format in the blue pages to be
quite handy as it shows quite a bit of info without having to bounce between
the frequency listing and country sections.

Or is there already such a source out there somewhere who offers such?

The Yacht Boy 500 was introduced **BEFORE** the Yacht Boy 400, but via
different distribution channels. In general, the 500 has bene poorly
reviewed as offering frills at the expense of performance and
user-friendly design. The 400 is a much better buy.

There is one North American distributor, Ward and Willabee.

Generally speaking, I adore my ATS-803A. However, the loud click it makes every
time I change frequency with the tuning knob or the Up/Down keys drives me
crazy. I'm assuming this is standard ATS-803A behaviour - if so, has anybody
come up with a work-around for it? Do later 803 variants (if such there be)
have the same wart?

It turns out that this behaviour is called "chuffing", and there's a simple fix
for it at:

   ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/dx/text/receivers/ATS803A_mod

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions - is this FAQ fodder, perhaps?

Subject: Question on med/long wire connection
Lines: 29

Hi all,

  I have a Satellit 700.  I would like to experiment with some various wire
antennas (various length, directions, coiled, etc).  These antennas will
typically be run in or from my attic.

  I have read that it would be wise to shield the wire on it's run from the
attic through the house to the radio.  I have plenty of TV coax cable that
I could use for a shielded cable.  My question is what would be the best way
to connect this to the radio.

1) If I wanted to use an alligator clip to attach the wire to the telescopic
   antenna, what should I do with the braid at each end of the coax (where
   the unshielded antenna enters the coax, and where the center conductor
   gets clipped to the telescopic antenna)?

2) If I wanted to connect the antenna to the radio's antenna jack, it then
   becomes obvious what to do with the braid at the radio side.  What should
   be done in this case with the braid at the antenna side?

3) If I wanted to experiment with making an antenna tuner, could I use
   either of the connection methods shown above?

Thanks for any/all help... Steve

Sounds like the microprocessor in it may have gotten locked up into one of
the infamous "I try to think, but nothing happens" states.  My old HP
calculator did the same thing after I went to a physics class and a Van De
Graff (sp?) generator was demoed.  It wouldn't even turn on...the LCD
display was blank.  I "fixed" it by *removing the batteries* and then using a
paper clip to short out the battery terminals in the calculator.  It seemed
to reset the processor and it worked like a champ thereafter.  If you do this
to your radio it will probably fix it, but you will almost certainly lose
all  memory presets in the process.  Sorry.

Hope this helped,

Steve Higgins

The receiver is an excellent receiver.  Its major drawbacks are its
weight (about 95 lbs) and the hard-to-get tubes -- expecially the
ballast tube.  Check with Fair Radio, in Lima ohio to see if the
ballast tubes are still available before you buy the radio.

RE: SATELLITE 900

I have just seen the photo and advertisement on a new
Grunding Satellite 900 receiver.  It looks more advanced
in design than any other current portable receivers.

Does anyone have more information on the Satellit 900?

Thanks in advance.

Exactly what is it that you are on about here?  This appears to me to be
some sort of ranting, but I cannot sort out what it is that disturbs the
poster.  Have the international broadcasters moved on to new programming?
These things happen and I would suggest that it is somewhat irrational to go
off the deep end over this. One shudders to think how you must react to a TV
program's cancellation.

I am afraid that one would appear to be disturbed if they approached an
ambassador with this triviality.

Make your own cuppa and get on with your life.

I've found the 7600g to be quite sensitive.  I live in New Mexico (where
sensitivity IS a concern) and I've compared my 7600G to several other
shortwave receivers including my ICF-2010.  It performs very well
considering its price and size.  I've used the YB 400, but have not done
a side by side comparison.  I don't question the YB400 having better
audio and more convenience features, but I really doubt that the 400 is
more sensitive.  Perhaps the 7600G used in Aldo's comparison was not
operating up to spec. ??  Also, I've found the sync detection to be a
very important feature for dealing with adjacent channel interference.

Both radios are very capable and I don't think you'd go wrong with
either.  However, in my opinion the 7600G is probably the choice where
performance is the main concern.  The YB400 where audio and convenience
features are important.

Wouldn't make it without WRTVH either. It is also not without a few
screwups, but it is quite extensive and an excellent resource. The
reason I don't like it as much for tuning around listening is you have
to look up too many different sections to see who is likely source of a
given signal. I certainly have found frequencies under a country
listing that were NOT reflected in the frequency listing table in the
rear of the book. For up to date listings, better subscribe to MT [Glen
Hauser's column]. Last time I thought I had a hot discovery I found it
was already mentioned in Hauser's monthly column. As for "tropicals",
well I doubt anybody except maybe Don Moore, or his equivalent, has a
handle on these guys. I like to keep track of some of their frequencies
over a longer period of time and keep results in my database.

I'm not quite sure what to make of the "to [sic] American to be of real
use to the rest of the world" remark re Passport. Sounds a little silly
to me. Just why would Passport not be useful to a European or
Australian or whatever? This comment might well apply in just the
opposite sense for Klingenfuss's Ute book, because most of his input is
from what European listeners HEAR, not published data from a station.
Also I am sure "serious" listeners might find something far more
"useful" from the BBC or Deutsche Welle than some Mayan 50 watt
religious station in the jungles of Central America. I think the use of
"serious" here is a bit strained.

I doubt if WRTVH has any more use for truly accurate measurements or
updating based on listener input than does Passport. I can guess what
some of their opposition is, but that's all it is, a guess. It does
annoy me that a station's "published" frequency is apparently
considered of greater use than its ACTUAL frequency. Let's not confuse
the listeners with the facts, right?

Radio Caroline, the offshore station, is in London. The pirate station has
a license to broadcast on 87,7 MHz with 10 Watts from a high location
(south London). The transmitter would be on the air from october the 6 at
12:30, and during 28 days.
The MV ROSS REVENGE location is : Thames quay, West India Dock, Isle of Dogs, London.
The nearest railway : Southquay of Dockland, light railway.
Visits are possible every day from 10 am to 6 pm. Prices : 5 pounds (adults),
2,5 pounds (children).

Someone can tell me if the station is really on the air ?

Thanks

For someone starting with at the very beginning, a one-stop solution
that will get you going with the decoder and software is AEA Fax III
(available from Gilfer and SWL mail order outlets). Literally, you can
be up and running in five or ten minutes after opening the box.

The AEA product will decode fax very nicely and do a reasonable job on
RTTY except for the weaker signals. Price class: $125.

There are homebrew decoders and shareware software available (see the
rec.radio.shortwave FAQs) too, but from what I see results vary. I don't
know the reasons for the differing feedback. If you have the willingness
to build a decoder and experiment with the software, you can save
yourself some money.

Check out our Web site for a link to Rensen's excellent HF-FAX list (see
our bookmark page) and for a list of press RTTY schedules as heard here.
BTW, I am using an NRD-535D with AEA Fax III for the fax pictures. I
opted for an older DES M-6000 decoder (sold by Universal Radio) for the
RTTY stuff.

Hope that helps.

Updates to selected Web pages at our site were made in the last few
days:

1) Propagation graphs have been updated. These include the last 2.5
months, a 27-day moving average of the solar flux and a comparison of
the solar flux for 1993, 1994 and 1995 to date.

2) Our bookmarks file has been updated (last time around was August 25).
Lots of additions here, with links for you to use.

Additionally, the English language SCHEDULES software was upgraded in
September to load the displayed data into the VFO and memories of the
new Lowe HF-250 and the Drake R8A receivers. This software won an
Industry award from the World Radio TV Handbook in 1988. The data files
are normally updated weekly around broadcast seasonal changes. Because
of our monitoring and research, we often have the subtle corrections
that you won't find in print media for weeks or months.

A print version of the data is also available. The new edition just came
off the Gilfer presses.

I've tried both.Sony7600g has too much noise and is not very sensitive.
Yachtboy 400 is better on SW and definitely a lot better on MW and LW
(here the SONY7600g is really poor).But the best is PANASONIC without a
doubt !!!!

I've tried both and I think Yachtboy is better than Sony7600g(it has too much
noise and has poor sensitivity) on SW and clearly a lot better on MW and LW.
But I think PANASONIC is the best in this range of receivers.I'd like to
know about others opinions.

AIRWAVES AM Radio Search page (a web interface to the FCC AM database)
has been augmented to include a color map showing the location of the
transmitter for all *Continental USA* stations.  It won't work on
Canadian stations.

To use the map, just click on the call letters of the station in
question, when you get the search results.  It takes a little longer,
and the map server is on a small pipe to the net, but it is real nice.

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

Here is the general info if you havn't seen it yet.

AIRWAVES now has free, easy-to-use World Wide Web page for searching
the FCC's AM radio Database.

You can search by frequency, City, State, Province, or by region
(several USA Metro areas are pre-selected or you can enter your own
lat/long).

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.

To use this you must have a forms-capable browser.  I suggest using
netscape 1.1N since much of the formatting is Netscape Enhanced
(tables, backgrounds, centering etc).  It doenst look good on lynx at
all.  If anyone wishes to code an html page that works better with
lynx, please do.

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 US time).

I would think that hangning that much wire off the front end of a
portable is going to create problems with over load and intermod and
really won't get you that much.

Try 50' of wire and be preapred to cut it back if needed.

You can minimize or even eliminate image problems on digitally
tuned receivers with the addition of a passive antenna tuner between
the long wire and the receiver.  The MFJ-956 worked extremely well
for this (in my case, it was an Alpha Delta sloper feeding a DX-440).
Lower frequencies will get a slight boost from tuning; no improvement
in signal strength will be seen above about 5Mcs or so, but the image
rejection more than makes up for that.

FYI...

William Pfeiffer of rec.radio.broadcasting reports that he heard
programming on 1640khz last night.  He is located in Missouri, USA.
Signal reported as good at his location.  He didn't listen long enough to
catch an ID.  Might be something to listen for tonight.

WJDM is moving to 1660khz, not 1640khz.  According to this weeks
Broadcasting magazine, they have most of the installation complete, and
without unforeseen difficulties, could be up and operating within 10 to
15 days.  Station President John Quinn says "it's like putting in a whole
new station. Most of it is installed, and we're doing tests which the FCC
requires.  If we don't have any complications, it could be over in a
couple of weeks or less."

> Without program details, who knows?

Apparently programming was religious in english (according to Bill
Pfeiffer).  That would rule out WJDM which is an "oldies" station

I wanted to get a wall clock in the 24 hour format instead of the usually 12
hour format for my listening shack.  I stopped in a hardware store in San
Francisco, noticed they had international electrical adaptors, and that they
had wall clocks.  I didn't think I had much of a chance, but hey...it looked
like a well stocked store, so I asked the clerk if they sold "24 hour
clocks."

She looks at me for a few seconds and said, "all our clocks run off
batteries or can be plugged into a wall outlet, and they all run 24 hours a
day, they never stop!"

I rephrased the question, and no, they did not have them.

I finally got one from a mail-order shortwave place.

I never though it'd happen...but I'd like to put in a good word for WRNO.

The other day they broadcast a hard-hitting expose of unsanitary practices in
the poultry-packing business.  I won't bore you with the nauseating
details...but chicken corpses floating in a "fecal soup" sticks in my mind.
The broadcast attributed these abuses to lax federal regulations.

How about that!  A consumerist show on WRNO, with demands for *increased*
federal regulations.

Hardly the right-wing fare we've grown to expect from WRNO.  Maybe they aren't
the dyed-in-the-wool fascists most people (including me <blush>) have made
them out to be.

In addition, got a personal communications recently from a fan of "hate"
radio...not "hateful" at all, the guy had a nice sense of humor.  He suggested
the only place to find perfect objectivity on shortwave is WWV and its like.

He's right.  If you can't trust a cesium clock, who can you trust?

Well, yeah. I've seen this complaint before, and frankly, don't get it.  I
suppose one person's hate is another's something else.

I can't believe that this discussion topic is still alive.  At this rate, it
might turn into its own newsgroup.

Today I installed a 75' bare copper long-wire antenna.  (From Radio Shack)  I followed the directions precisely, and
drove a brass rod into the ground and connected the ground wire.  Now, I am haunted by a local AM station (1390)
all over the place!  What did I do wrong ?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  73's.  John

This same radio station has interfered with the wall telephone in our kitchen for months.  None of our nieghbors have

My guess is that the stronger signal provided by the longer antenna is
overloading your receiver.  Use a high pass filter to remove the AM
broadcast interference.  You can get the plans from my home page.  Look for
the phone line antenna article.  If you don't want to build a filter, you
can buy one from places like Grove.

An alternative would be to use a preselector.  I don't like this as much
because you have to retune it every time you change frequency.  In the US,
filtering out the mediumwave band is usually good enough.  However, in
countries with strong local SW stations, a preselector is a good idea.

Consider that .... keeping an antenna straight provides resonance for a certain frequency and
multiples.  Once you start curving a wire, or bending this way around a post or tree limb, etc,
you have started to produce a coil ... however slight, and the frequency response is going to
change thereby.

The base of the antenna on my radio has a small metal finger screwed
on, which contacts that surface, and slides along it when the antenna
is rasied.  I hope the antenna you ordered comes with that piece,
otherwise you will have to attach a wire.

Be careful that you get the contact on the right side of that surface,
or it will get bent when you close the case.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that either the negative

I've never subscribed to a radio-related newsgroup either -- I just read
this one from time to time.  But I got that same (I guess it would be the
same) piece of white-supremacist nonsense in my email a few weeks
ago.  Lo and behold, when I checked out rec.arts.mystery -- a newsgroup

I just noticed this a few weeks ago (in Denver) and figured it was transient,
but it continues and is quite annoying.  Has anyone tried a DSP audio filter on
it?  I might consider buying one if such a filter proves effective and this
noise continues.

    I am using a JRC NRD535D and hear the hetrodyne in the USB/LSB
modes.  I totally eliminate it when using ECSS, however.  My location
is in central NJ.

I have noticed it too here in Alabama, and it is ever so annoying...  I
did a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and a spectral analysis on a recording
of the BBC I made a few days ago, and it appears to be actually TWO
heterodynes...  One is at 786 Hz (+/- 11 Hz) and the other, infinately
more annoying one, is at 5071 Hz (+/- 11 Hz).  Both are very narrow in
frequency range, occupying a bandwith of under 22 Hz, which is the
resolution limit of my spectral analysis program...

From what I know about DSP's, they should easily take care of the problem.
 However, logic seems to dictate to me that a single DSP can only
eliminate one het, but I remember reading an advertisement for a DSP that
stated "it automatically eliminates all heterodynes", so I'll let the more
knowledgeable folks around here provide the definitive answer to your
question...  However getting rid of the 5071 Hz heterodyne would be
oh-such-an-improvement!

A good and narrow notch filter tuned to the specific frequency should also
work, and might be cheaper...  However, I have yet to locate a good design
equation for building them...  (Anyone got any formulas/programs?)

Actually, BBC's 5975 location doesn't seem so good any longer.  Besides
that annoying het (first noticed just after the Antigua hurricane), I only
heard it intermittently last evening (0100 - 0300, 11 Oct.).  6175 was
surprisingly good on my Sony 7600G, with 7325 fair (but signing off too
early, in my opinion.)  What's going on, I say, 5975 has been my evening
mainstay for nigh on 10 years?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a heteordyne? I have noticed a very
annoying hum while trying to get the BBC; is that what I'm hearing? I
thought it was a problem with my new YB400. I would appreciaite any
suggestions for getting rid of that noise. Thanks.

Why not just tune up a couple of KHz?  The amount that you need to
offset depends on your filter.  With my Sangean 818-CS, tuning up 2 KHz
to 5977 reduces the heterodyne adequately, and it's a lot cheaper than
a DSP filter.

This heterodyne appeared to arise shortly after 5975 came back on the
air after being down due to storm damage.  My Timewave DSP59+ signif-
icantly reduces - but does not eliminate - the tone.  This has
puzzled me because the DSP59+ usually removes all tones completely.
Perhaps it has something to do with the complexity of the tone as
described above.  My "feeling" had been that this tone was somehow
part of the broadcast audio rather than being a beating carrier from
another signal. (I had felt this because the level of the het. seemed
to remain constant with respect to the BBC signal, rather than fading
at a different rate, which you would expect from a transmission from a
different location.)  However, I can zero beat the carrier in LSB at
5974.42, so this indicates a separate signal (but I cannot find any
audio on it!!)

Fellows:

I spoke to Ian Sharp at CFRB/CFRX Engineering. He told me that CFRX was on
with only an open carrier over the Labour Day Weekend. However, effective
Tuesday 95/10/09 about 0830 EDT, CRFX returned to the air.

I just purchased a new shortwave radio after about two years without one
(ouch!)

Could somebody pass along to me the frequency for CFRX (either by e-mail
or by followup posting)?  I had it, but have lost it--having moved twice
in those two years.

Thanks.

Yeah, but they "creatively opine" the frequencies for the upcoming
season.  True, it's "not as accurate as factual information", but hey, you
can't have everything.

Because then they'd be dangerously close to WRTH's publication date.  I'd
rather see them get the book out a couple of months earlier.  Given the
way they research their frequencies, this may not be possible, though
(which is also another reason they couldn't delay by a month or two).  But
with their current production schedule, by the time I get the book, it
makes for a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Pro 2006 uses an EL panel, which fades over a relatively short time.

SW100 uses green LED(s), which don't.

As an interesting aside, I once tried to make a phone call from a
payphone across the road from the BBC relay in Seychelles.  The phone
lines were obviously acting as an antenna, picking up the news loud
and clear, and I didn't even have to put in a dime :^).  Impossible to
make a phone call, however.

I'm looking for a good powerline filter.  It seems that after my post
about regulated power supplies cutting hum, I still have problems with
humming on some of the SW bands due to noise in the power lines.  If
myself or a neighbor turn on a fan, fluorescent light or a computer,
the humming comes through but not when running with batteries.

Is there a good RFI/EMI filter suitable for SW receivers?

For any Canadians interested, Radio Shack is discontinuing the GE

A great but at that price.

I'm tired of listening to shortwave on my lousy ghetto-blaster.  I've
decided to buy either the Yacht boy 400 or the Sony 7600G and I'm
wondering if anyone here has any thoughts or advice?

In Canadian prices I can get the Yacht boy for $270 and the Sony is
$330.  Remember these are CDN$ so it translates to about $190 and $235
US.  Is the Sony worth the extra expense or should I just go with the
highly popular yacht boy?

Thanks all,

I'm sure you will get lots of replies on this one, but let me give you
what I feel is the consensus of the many postings I've seen on this
newsgoup.  It seems  that the Sony is better on sensitivity and
selectivity, and also has synchrous detection for those rare but demanding
times when two stations are enchoaching on each other. The Grundig seems
to have beter audio quality and a more user-friendly interface with more
presets and such.  If you listen mostly to the big name stations, the
advice is that the Grundig will do just fine, and sound better doing it.
If you are a more demanding SW listener, you might appreciate and want
what the Sony can offer.  Like many purchase decisions, it depends on how
you are going to use the product.  Since I also use my radios for FM and
music, I prefer the better audio of the Grundigs.  Up to you, but they are
both great radios and you can't go wrong with either one.  Enjoy!

 I have a YB500 and if I had a choice. I' buy the YB 400. The YB 500 is
cool looking, and works well, but the performance of the 400 is a little
better. Plus it's a lot easier to find a 400. Good luck.

in re the use asking what 1330 UTC is in EST:

UTC (formerly known as GMT) is four hours different from EDT (therefore
when you leave daylight savings time it will change by an hour)

In lieu of getting a chart to show you all the differences, tune your
radio to 5 MHz, 10 MHz or 15 MHz (depending on time of day and
propagation) and compare the UTC times given to your local time.

Good luck in SWling.

I'm new to shortwave radio. I just purchased a Drake R8A.
Could somebody tell me what the equiv. of 1330 UTC would be
in Eastern U.S. time?

Thank you.

To go from UTC to Eastern Daylight Savings time, subtract four hours to
the UTC time.

Therefore, 1330 UTC would be 930, or 9:30am, eastern daylight savings
time.

Drake R8A, huh?  That is a NICE way to get into the hobby...  Someday I am
gonna save up and get an R8A myself...

Have fun.  By the way, I reccomend you pick yourself up a copy of Passport
to World Band Radio.  Great book that answers all the novice shortwave
listener questions.  I am rather new to the SWL scene and it has helped me
tremendously!

On Saturday Oct. 7 1758 UTC I heard a transmission identified as the
"Home Education Network" under WWCR programming (more Waco conspiracy
stuff) on 12160kHz.
        Anyone have any info on this network? Was is audio leaking from
somewhere else at WWCR or does this come from another broadcaster?

Thanks,

I've been listening to shortwave for about 5-6 years, and I realized
that I've _never_ heard a broadcast station in the 120 meter band. I'd
like to hear at least one, from anywhere.
I live about 20 miles northwest of Atlanta, GA, USA.
Any suggestions for a strong one that could be heard in my area?

Hi, Ralph,

Regarding wanting to hear any station on 120m...
Just last night I heard a Guatemalan station, La Voz
de Atitlan on 2390kHz. Granted, it wasn't a powerhouse
signal (only 1 kw), and I was using a 400 ft. longwire,
but I could hear it.

N.Korea on 2850 is pretty good.

And AUSTRALIA on 2310, 2325 and 2485 would be reasonable
catches  around SUNRISE your time.

I have realistic dx440 shortwave radio. There is a
strong 10000 w am radio station
about half a mile from my house and I have been
getting a lot of interference
with shortwave station on the radio from the local stations.
I'm also
using the AN-1 antenna. Is there a way to reduce this
interference? Any comments
will be appreciated. Thanks

It depends how well shielded the DX440 is, considering it's
plastic case. Does the AM station show up with the whip antenna
retracted and no external antenna connected on the SW bands?
If not, you would appear to have sufficient shielding. The typical
solution to a single high power AM station overwhelming the frontend
of your receiver is something called a "Notch Filter." This is simply
a tuned LC circuit in series resonance that is tuned to the frequency
of the offending AM station and placed electrically before the receiver's
antenna input; this shunts the RF of the AM signal from the antenna
to ground, reducing the amount of signal that the receiver's frontend
has to cope with, hopefully within it's design dynamic range. Sometimes
people might use two such circuits to further increase the attenuation.

Any non-operational AM receiver would have the necessary parts to
construct a notch filter, assuming it uses a ferrite loopstick antenna.

Check the ARRL "The Radio Amateur's Handbook" at the public library as
they might have some info on this.

Or check out the bandpass filter design on the telephone line antenna
interface that is posted here at the beginning of every month.

WRTH 1996 will be published on or around December 30th, and can be
purchased from any bookstore or from one of the major shortwave
vendors. We are still compiling it. If you need information on
anything in particular, just ask and I might be able to help.

In any discussion about Radio as soon as I hear the term "Hate Radio"
My eyes glaze over. It is the response of a person with nothing to add to
the discussion.  The attempt to put that label on something is just a
feeble attemp to put themselves on some kind of high moral pedestal . It is
a cheap debating technique that anyone  with half a brain can see through.

Dear Leonard, I consider myself a liberal.
I don't object to Rush Limbaugh being on shortwave,
although is beyond me why, if he disagrees with my
outlook on life, you call it "puncturing baloons(sic!)", while if I
disagree with his bombastic rethoric, I'm "spewing" my message
and I'm "childish".  Can you disagree with somebody without
resorting to name calling?
Maybe the reason why people from other countries call the
phenomenon of  conservative talk show on shortwave "Hate
Radio" is because of the derisive tone used against proponents
of different point of views.  Like you are doing.
Listen to the radio waves and make you own judgements, but
let other people do the same.

Amazing, isn't it, that these people never misspell "hate," so accustomed are
they to the term that is as mother's milk to them?

This idiot did, however, misspell "baloons."

Conservatives have only the purest motives at heart, while liberals are
cynical, self-serving children.

Does the term "class traitor" mean anything to these people?

Well, how's this for adding something to the discussion:

anti-immigrant
isolationist
intolerant
bigoted
homophobic
class-traitor
bully
brutish
ill-informed
smug
arrogant
petty
nasty

There have been a lot of posts lately about "hate radio" and liberal
objections.  Let us remember what is special about SW.  On the
mainstream stations we hear what the media elite dictate.  On SW
we have the opportunity to hear everything from RFPI to National
Alliance and everything in between.   The preponderance of
conservative shows is equivalent to the preponderance of liberal
shows in the sixties.  Whenever the country(or a large segment
of it) views the government as leaning too far in one direction,right
or left,the SW broadcasts go in the opposite direction.  That is
freedom of speech and I'm glad it's there.   As for Rush Limbaugh,
if you haven't listened to him,don't knock him.  That's not hate
radio.  National Alliance is hate radio.  There's a difference--a
major difference.  But I still would not want the freedom of speech
taken from even National Alliance---I just use my freedom of
choice of stations I listen to,and I don't bother with the *true* ultra
right or ultra left.   We all have differing viewpoints here,liberal or
conservative,and IMO,we should respect that.  The topic is SW--not
"hate radio"(a term used,BTW,by those who disagree with the message).
Let's get back to comparing our DX'ing and receivers and put politics
on another newsgroup--remembering that SW is where we can hear it all!!

Actually, most of the spew I step in in this group issues from the collective
mouths of the Far Right.  (Not badmouthin' everyone - just the folks who post
things like "KLINTON DESTROYS FOSTER EVIDENCE BY BOMBING OKC BUILDING".)

Yeah, it's a sight to watch a steatopygic pop "balloons," especially when he

You've hit upon a statement that conservatives can't refute, since because
this has not happened yet there's no experience to determine whether it's
true or false.

Most of what you'll hear below 540 KHz will be marine and aeronautical
radiobeacons (190-420 KHz and 510-525 KHz in USA).  I often hear them
over 1000 miles north of here in Canada on quiet nights.  Each has a
unique Morse identifier, so they are easy to look up on a list.

There is a license-free "ham-ish" band from 160-190 KHz, and if you
live near a big city you might hear hobbyists chatting.  Many use CW
since the bandwidth of their antennas is often very limited.

Around 100 KHz you'll hear Loran-C pulses.  Not much fun, but they are
vital for lots of air and marine navigation.

On 60 KHz, if you can get that low, is WWVB time signals from Colorado.

Deep down near the audible frequencies (11 - 30 KHz) are Navy signals
to submarines.  They use very narrowband FSK, encoded of course.

Just a few bits to get you started...

Dear All:

Just finished installing my new inverted-L longwire in my backyard, after
Hurricane Opal ripped down my old one.  Glad Opal gave me an excuse to
make some modifications to it.  It is now a lot higher, although about 30
feet shorter.  The old one was about 170 feet, this one is about 140 feet.
 Works as good as the old one did, if not better.  (Jury is still out)

My question:  What do y'all out there think of longwire baluns?  I have
seen many advertised in Tucker Electronics Catalog and in Monitoring
times.  However, in the latest Grove Catalog and Buyers Guide, they
mention that:

"Impedance matching (standing wave ratio-SWR) may be important for
transmitting, but is of virtually no concern in receiving.  While a
perfect match    between an antenna and receiver will deliver the greatest
signal strength, the    background noise (hiss and static) will increase
proportionally.  The net result will    be a high S-meter reading, but no
better signal readibility above the noise."

I also notice that Grove doesn't sell baluns, so they must honestly not
beleive in them.  (Refreshing honesty in this day and age)  However many
people on this newsgroup use them and I see them advertised all over the
place.  What gives?  Are they any good?  Are they worth the price?
(Tucker sells them from anywhere from about $15 to around $40, and Palomar
Engineers offers them for $46.)

Currently, my antenna feeds into the house via 300 ohm twin-lead cable.
(Yuck, twin-lead, I know, but I got it for 6 cents a foot and coax is
three to four times that, and I have about a hundred foot run)  This cable
presents an impedance mismatch, becuase my receiver, Sangean ATS606 and my
antenna are both 50-75 ohms.    Would it be best to change the twin-lead
to coax or trying a balun?  Or would doing both be the best option?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I would say that just getting the most wire out then properly matching
it to a feed line appropriate to the input impedence of your receiver
is most important.

If you have that much land and can get about 60' or so height, you
ought to consider the 80M Carolina Beam from Radio Works in
Portsmouth, VA.

I have one of these and live on a small farm.  On my land, I have a
400' Windom, and 80M Inverted Vee at 80' and a few other odds and
ends.

I find that the Carolina Beam is consistently better in 80% of most
DX'ing situations.  The signal strength may or may not be a few DB
down from the others but the S/N ratio is usually as much a 10db
better.

No, I don't work for Radio Works but their antennas do work quite
well.

I just picked up a Galaxy R530.It's a solid-state general coverage
receiver with analog (but 1 KHz. readout) tuning, from the late 1960's.

I wonder if anyone out there knows much about it...strong points vs.
weak points...what it may be worth, etc.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!     Carl/W5SXU

Circa 1967, discrete transistor technology.  Listed for $695 new, and
looked impressive in the ads (does in real life, too).  I remember wanting
one......

There was a matching speaker and rack mount adapter available.  I believe
QST reviewed it back when it was new.....

Noumea has been off shortwave for quite some time.  RFO has a MW
transmitter, probably 20 kw.  I don't remember the frequency.

What more do I have to put?  "Dependency of St.Helena"?  "Dependency of the

Hello Dipesh,
              I used to work at the BBC Atlantic Relay Station and that address IS correct and
should have worked!  It sounds like it is more of a problem with the US Mail service in Florida.
If you still have a problem, E-mail me and I will give you my address and you can send the
letter to me and I will forward it via the British mail system!

       Best wishes,

                     Richard Buckby

I've been meaning to do this for a long time. A couple of years
ago I collected radio reviews from Rec.radio.shortwave and posted
the collection monthly to this group. However, recently I have
changed jobs which has made it more difficult to do regular postings.

Anyway to make a long story short, I converted the collection of
radio review to html and put them where you can access them via
the World Wide Web.

The URL is:

Unfortunately, this is only a temporary home, since this account
will expire in December 1995. If you think this document is
worthwhile and can provide space on the Web then let me know

Are there any Fm-station in the world (esp. in the US), that broadcast
Queen all day (or more than the others)? If so, can you record an hour
from that station? Or are there any special programs nowadays aboutr Queen?
Could you record it for me?
I'd like to give it to a friend, who is a big queen-fan.
I can send you in exchange Hungarian music or albanian or breton folk.
Or if you have some special request...

My e-mail is: [e-mail]
THANK YOU!

Without commenting on the actual topic, as I haven't followed the
discussion...  However, technically a private e-mail as well as any
newsgroup posting (And, the contents of a private letter as well.)
are (Assuming they are 'work of art', which is rarely at doubt)
intellectual property of the author, protected by international IP
laws.  The information therein is added to the knowledgebase of the
recipient, however.  In essence then the recipient is free to
describe the messages contents in his/her own words, and make
fair-use quotes from it unelss specific agreements exists.  It's my
opinion however that the concept of fair use can be expanded in
reference to hateful, fradulent or criminal material.  IANAL,
ofcourse, altough I think one can still trust to common sense.

Diane, I was going to counter some of your arguments, but I really don't
think that you read and comprehend very well, as evidenced by your reply
where you state in response to my post, "TM%>2. The USA has a very large
population, and it is a relatively affluent
TM%>populace. These Americans travel and are widely observed in all parts
of

'If that was true, our Republicans wouldn't regard the welfare collecting
segment of the population as such a dire threat to our economy because
they'd be insignificant in number...nor would so many of the US elect
rate actually believe that welfare is a problem and vote those guys
all...'"

I did not say that everyone was affluent, only that a relatively large
percentage were.

I also did not state that we should not learn about other countries only
that we do not, there is a big difference there. You really must read
what is written before you attack it.

Anyway, I am sure you are to young to remember Radio Tirana and Radio
Sofia in their heydays, but you could have worked for them had you been
around then. You spout the typical *party line* of the cold war
communists, it didn't work then and it won't work now.

Media Network just announced that Radio Tanzania will be
relayed from Myerton, South Africa until Dec. 1, so catch it
while you can.  I was able to hear them here in the northeast,
USA last Saturday (Oct. 7) on 7290 at 0300 UT when they were
broadcasting a pop music program: mainly Afro pop,and Jamaican
music.  It's probably a weekly program on the national service
and worth listening to for the local flavor, even if you don't
understand Swahili.

PWBR lists Radio Yugoslavia, in English, from 0000-0030 on 9580 and 11870
for *summer,* which won't last beyond the end of the month. After that,
try the *winter* schedule: 0100-0130 on 6195 and 7115 kHz.

I am  in need of a reciever to listen to DX-pedition to Heard Island but
don't have much money to spend.  I've found a Kenwood R-1000 for $100 that
the owner says is in good shape.  However I'm unfamiliar with this radio
and don't know anything about it.  Any comments on its suitability for my
needs.  I realize that the antenna is a big part of the system.  So far
all I have is an tuned long wire antenna.  If this radio may not fulfill
my needs does anyone else have something better in the $100 to $150 price
range?  Thanks for the help!

Try mailing to [e-mail] .

The pseudo-user "listproc" is fairly common for mail list processors.

A vague sort of uninitiated question:

What sort of equipment would I need to pick up radio by satellite?

And, probably more important, can I pick up transmissions from Palapa B2P
at 113 east in Sydney?

> Can someone explain side bands and how they work,

I suggest you go to a public library and look for a copy of the Amateur
radio Handbook put out by ARRL. This is an excellent source of information
about how radio works.

USB & LSB are the Upper and Lower Sidebands.

SSB, single side band means the transmitting station is only transmitting
a single side band.

An A.M. (amplitude modulated) transmitter such as a local broadcaster or a
cb radio transmits a carrier at the specified frequecy (such as 660khz).
On each side of this carrier is a sideband containing the modulation
(voice, music, etc.). The two sidebands are mirror images. They contain
identical information.

Since both sidebands transmit the same information, one is a waste of
power. It is filtered out in a SSB transmitter. The carrier contains no
information and is also filtered out. All the power of the transmitter is
thus concentrated in the one (single) remaining sideband. This make for a
very efficient transmitter.

On the receiving end the BFO (beat frequency oscillator) replaces the
missing carrier.

On your Radio Shack radio, set the receive frequenct exactly 11.175 mhz.
Turn on the BFO. Set the BFO tune knob to 12 o'clock. When you hear
talking, very carefully fine tune the BFO to make the voice as clear as
possible. You will probably find this to be at about 11:30 on the BFO
knob. You are now set for USB. You should not have to retune the BFO as
you dial in other Utility type frequencies. Almost all, aero, maritime and
military use USB. Amateurs (hams) use LSB in the 80 and 40 meter ham
bands.

Welcome to shortwave. I have been an avid listener since I was about 10
years old. I am now 47 and keep a radio on all the time.

Some good freqs. 11.175 Air Force,  5.696 Coast Guard. Those are my
favorites. If you need more let me know.

I live in St. Louis MO, USA, and am planning on buying one of these two
radios for general listening. I'm leaning toward the Sony beacause it has
sychronous detection and selectable sideband.   Any info on either radio
would be appreciated.

Being another Sony 2010 user, I feel compelled to respond.  I have not
encountered such a problem.  The most my unit has done is "lose memory"
while jostling it around, the standard problem with the 2010.  My deepest
condolences.

OK, so maybe this information is a little off topic, but I was so amazed
when I tried this, I figured I had to share it with anyone who was
interested in making "easy money." If you're convinced already
that this is indeed a scam, please move on.

This really isn't a scam.   You ask, "where does the money come from?"
Simple answer: thank the phone company.

I was at first somewhat reluctant to give this system a try, let alone a
second thought before I flamed the moron who posted it and mailed the
postmaster, thinking it was yet another scam.   But, I simply decided to
give it shot, ignoring the $1.50 it was going to cost me to make a call
that would in the end make me a LOT of money.   I was absolutely stunned
when I received my first check from Interlink for $17,000 (before taxes)
in September (Interlink pays in 1000 dollar increments).

A recording gives you instructions on what to to.   When asked to enter
the account number of the person who gave you this number, enter 607286 --
that's my account number, and it's how I was able to pay off all my
debts and move into a much nicer New York apartment!!!

Let met explain.   The recording will give you your own account number,
then it'll record your name and address (where your checks will be sent).
Here's where it gets IMPRESSIVE!

For every call made to this number, InterLink receives $1.50.   50 cents
goes to the account number you type in (in the case of your call, to me).
Of course, now that you've got YOUR OWN account number, you'll want to
have people call and type in YOUR account number -- get out there and
publicise this incredible system with YOUR account number, and start
making money!   Try advertising on the UseNet, in newspapers, magazines,
or business cards.   Remember the lines are open 24 hours a day so you
could be making money as you sleep.

It gets better.   You get 50 cents for everyone who calls and types in your
account number, but when they get people to type in THEIR account number
you get 25 cents of that as well, PLUS 25 cents off everyone THEY get to
call.

Here's the math: If you get 100 people to call (very simple to do), then
you get $50 dollars. If they each get 100 people to call, then you get
$2,500. If THEY each get 100 people to call then you get $250,000.
(100 *.50) + ((100 * 100) * .25) + ((100 * 100 * 100) + .25) = $250,628.12
But even the $17,000 I made last month is impressive!

People this is a note of advice to all those who have tried different
systems of money-making techniques.   I have tried them all (Dave DelDotto,
Chain Letters, AMWAY, Don Lapre, Anthony Robbins, Carleton Sheets, etc.)
and none of them have worked as fast and as easy as this one.   I foresee
this System being the fastest growing business in the year 2000 so do not
miss your chance, TAKE ACTION, your future depends on it.

Good luck, and feel free to mail me with your experiences...

I can get an Realistic dx-120 repaired?  Please dont suggest Radio shacks
service, I sent it to them with a copy of the schematic and they replied
that they could not get parts.  Now bear in mind that this is a simple FET
superhet reciver with 1 I.F. Stage.  All the parts are simple electronics,
no ICs I have found everything inside on the shelves at Radio Shack. I do
not have any test equipment and as this radio was made circa 1970, I would
love to use it again!!
Help, any suggestions???

I'm hearing a _very_ faint signal on 1630 kHz here in Florida
Sunday night.  It is religious programming, in English.  Does
anyone know what station this is?  (I think this is the first

WJDM also does a lot of pay as you go, broker radio.  This can be anything
and everything, including Hatian Creole or religion.  The oldies are mid
week, the broker operation all weekend.   If they are now on the air in the
evenings, they may be brokering that time as well.

I tried to tune into their 1530 spot during the week while I was in an area
of Brooklyn where they are usually strong and got nothing.  At home I am in
a hole in their signal, but I can get them 3 blocks away.  They are not
comming in here on either 1530 or 1660.  They may have had to sign off
during construction.

Although the 2010 is arguably already a "classic" radio, FM was never
it's forte.  In fact, the 2010 is notorious for poor FM performance with
respect to it's ability to handle a strong signal.  In my neighborhood,
there are no less than 4 FM transmitters within a one mile radius
rendering the 2010 useless for FM reception.

My Sony 2010 works as well as hoped for MW and SW frequencies, but
I am a bit disappointed at its FM performance.  Specifically, when
using the whip antenna, selectivity is much worse than I would have
expected on a $350 radio ... a strong station at 93.9 MHz totally
obliterates an adjacent station at 94.1 MHz, where my no-name car
radio sitting right outside has no problem picking out the adjacent
station.

Is there a way to narrow the selectivity of this radio for FM?  (The
narrow/wide function does not appear to work for FM or AIR bands.)
Will an external antenna improve the situation?  Thanks for the help.

Try the DX/LOCAL switch on the side. Put in local position. Also
lower the antenna to reduce overload. I've never had this problem,
you must be near the transmitter.

As a Sony '2010 owner in downtown Toronto, I'll vouch for the suggested
solution.
In my case, being a mere 3-4km from the CN tower (the world's tallest
freestanding source of RFI) can make reception difficult. Thankfully, my
steel frame apartment building acts as an RF shield between me and the
tower. From my apartment reception is tolerable, but if I go up onto the
roof I get images of things all over the scale, MW, SW and FM.

I had a Sony 2001D (same as the 2010) several years ago and remember being
very disappointed with its FM performance at first. A local station here in
Reading on 97.0 MHz completely swamped out a London station on 97.3 MHz -
which even most quite basic sets could receive without much difficulty. I
had a new narrower FM filter fitted and it solved the problem completely.
Sorry I don't have the technical details (maybe someone else does) but the
actual component  only cost a couple of pounds here in the UK. Fitting it is
another matter.

More recent Sonys that I've tried seem to have had slightly narrower FM
filters than the 2001D/2010, but I've found that FM performance on all has
been less than satisfactory due to overloading from strong signals. This
seems to be a particular problem with FM reception on Sony receivers for
some reason.

Yes
change the IF filter for a narrower one.
The stock filter in the 2010/2001D is a stereo filter even tho the
receiver is mono. A new 10.7MHz IF filter costs about 1-2 dollars and
takes 20 minutes to replace. I've done it and it makes a big difference
for vitrtually no money.

More details can be found in my booklets "Get the Best from Your Sony
2001D" and "Get Even more from ..."

There are cheaper solutions elsewhere, and you'll see them discussed
from time to time. I think the information is included in the FAQ posted
on the first of each month.

That aside, I've been using AEA Fax II and now III for five or six
years. It's an easy to install one-stop solution, and AEA technical
support seems reasonably responsive. I like the fax mode, but I think
the other digital modes are lacking when compared to a standalone
decoder such as the Universal M-6000 or M-7000. RTTY and SITOR reception
seems to work best on a strong signal, but the fax decodes on signals
that approach the noise level. Any CW decoder will work best on machine
or keyboard CW; don't expect much on hand-sent code.

The receiver stability and selectivity will also affect the decoding of
whatever decoding package you buy.

I use AEA Fax III and an M-6000 decoder (which can be purchased for as
little as $200 used) tied into a JRC NRD-535D receiver.

Hope that helps. BTW, check out our Web site "news" page for RTTY press
schedules and a link to Marius Rensen's HF-Fax List.

I have recently seen an advertisement for Advanced Electronic Applications
(AEA) FAX III Software that creates a simple interface between shortwave
and computer and provides access to shortwave FAX, CW, and RTTY formats.
Does anyone have any experience with this software? or others?

The price was $110.00.  Is this a bargain, or are there better deals
elsewhere?

Any information, hints, advise will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Lines: 61

Well, it's "ancient" to some certain people...actually, it's a piece of
WWII Army Signal Corps equipment I need info on, from any of the old
timers out there (so you tadpoles out there just hit ENTER right now).

Hah--they can only hope that the ARRL Amateur Radio Handbook goes back
to the $6 it used to be in the Bicentennial year... <smug grin>

Anyhoo, the equipment in question is a waist-high pole made to look like
a square mushroom, with an octal plug-in cable that plugs in to some
kind of external equipment (like power supply, keyer, whatever) and a
ring plug that plugs into the top of the mushroom's "cap".  It looks
like you're supposed to ram the bottom part of the pole into the ground,
and put an antenna rod from out of the middle of the top of the rod,
above the mushroom's cap.  It has a shoulderstrap attatched to the top,
and the bottom part has a clip that is supposed to be clipped onto a
ring attatchment on the bottom part of the rod.  This thingie is a
transceiver marked as operable on "Channel 5"...and it's a BC-745-B
manufactured by the Galvin Mfr. Co., Chicago IL, Order Number
34238-PHILA-43

I took it apart to find a small tube diagram inside the cap, and this
diagram said that it was a "SCR-511 tube layout (bottom view)" and I
don't know if that's another name of the gizmo or just the tube
subassembly; its "tuning unit" is a self-contained plug in module with
its own number, so I suppose either is a possibility. It uses mainly 2
types of miniature-style tubes: 1T4's (for modulation, RF first stage,
and IF) and I found them to be of different makes in this unit
(Sylvania, Raytheon, Tungsol); a solitary 1S5 for an audio stage
(Tungsol); and the rest were 3S4's (two RF Outs and two Audios [matched
finals?] and one Oscillator), all of which were made by just one tube
manufacturer--National Union.

I unplugged the "tuning unit" looking for any kinda clue as to what
frequency "channel 5" was, and found a window where I could read a
marking of 5500KC.  Still, I took the thing apart anyway since I was
already heavy into the disassembly mood...and discovered that this is
is only the TRANSMISSION frequency... and the marking I saw thru the
window was a portion of an FT243 crystal case face.  On the top of that
was marked TRANS...and it was sitting next to another FT243 that was
marked REC, but was for the frequency of 5995KC.

If I can find any old tube info anywhere I suppose I could figure out
what the bias voltage(s)'r supposed to be, but I'd still like to get
some kind of docs (pinouts, at least) and history behind this gizmo.

And I got another gizmo, apparently receiver only inside of black
oblong box with khaki cover; uses 2 acorn tubes, one each for "channel
a" and "channel b"; Philco made, has a whip antenna with a banana plug
at the bottom so you can plug it into the channel of choice...and has
pins for a headset connection...

  Well, I'm not EXACTLY sure of the solution to the problem, but as
a mechanical engineer I think it involves an acetylene cutting torch
and access to base of the tower of Radio 1390.

You did nothing wrong. The antenna is simply  gathering too much signal
for your receiver. The local AM'er is overloading the front end of your
receiver. You can try reducing the length of the antenna, or try a
high-pass filter. You can build a high-pass filter yourself following the
directions in Bill McFadden's monthly "Phone line as radio antenna"
posting, or you can purchase a commercially manufactured model from
Industrial Communications Engineers (ICE).

Regarding your telephone: it is improperly acting as a radio receiver due
to either an internal failure, faulty workmanship during manufacture, or
faulty design. Most likely the latter. I suggest you take the matter up
with the manufacturer of the telephone.

Any ideas on how to receive low-end am (560Mhz) in office?
Office seems to block signal, OK outside.

(I already have some ideas but thought it would be prudent
to check around before putting something together.
For instance, the omicron or select-a-tenna in the crane catalog)
emailed responses appreciated.

Hi All,

I have been thinking about buying a shortwave kit to put together sometime
this winter.

Does anyone have any experience with building such a project and/or any
recommendations, etc.

An ad in the latest Popular Communications shows the MFJ-8100K World Band
Radio Kit.  Any opinions?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice or product recommendations.

Hi from Rumpole's family too,
   My ten year old and I want to build a decent inexpensive kit.  We live
on the east side of a Mn Lake (Elk huge fish here too) and want to pick up
stations in asia, including Korea, thanks in advance.  Also please POST
any and all kit mfgs that have web sites, Alternatively, If any of you
people have a great kit that is still unopened, e mail me and I will try
to make you a deal on it.

The rumor behind the news is that this neo-Nazi spam originated from an
_opponent_ at San Fran. Univ.  The document itself is from the National
Alliance, but they did not send it, so the rumor goes, but instead it
came from an opponent who apparently believed that the ends justified the
means.  I think the sfu person go the email names for those who posted on
the net, or maybe even by "fingering" the hosts, if you get my meaning.

Friday I took many of the posts from this thread and e-mailed them to the BBC
to see if they at least knew about this the problem.  I received a response!
It doesn't say much, but at least they know about the hetrodyne.

I think I will hold off on buying a DSP filter for the moment based on the
experiences posted here.  Maybe there is a remote possibility that this het
will eventually go away.  Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for your message.  We are aware of the heterodyne, and are looking
into it.

A number of people are asking about current international broadcast
schedules in the form of a one-stop solution. Gilfer Shortwave publishes
such data four times a year.

The publication includes four reports:

Schedules by Country
Schedules by Transmission Start Time
DX/Media Shows by Country
DX/Media Shows by Day of the Week

Single copy prices are less than $8 plus s/h. Subscriptions are also
available.

The publication complements the World Radio TV Handbook and Passport to
World Band Radio. It does not replace either reference. The data is
assembled by published information, information received from stations
and (most importantantly) monitoring. The last step makes the extra
difference, picking up the subtle changes, often unannounced.

Yes, Dan, I remember a few years ago on Waveguide hearing one of the
BBC engineers mention that they do around 500 or so each year. Glad
you brought up that point. I wish I had a dollar for every time
someone has commented that something in WRTH is 'wrong' when in fact
it was correct at press time but changed later. I may be many things,
but I am not a clairvoyant :-)

Quite so.  What Radio Comores says and what Radio Comores does are not always

Hi,

We are a group of scouts from Copenhagen Denmark, seeking skeds on 80, 40, 20
and 2 meters.
If you have the possiblity to run via RS12 or RS13 we can also do that, that
would be fun.

Our callsign for the JOTA weekend will be OZ5EDR/J.
We will be running 2 HF stations, mainly 80 and 20 meters, but if you want we
can try other frequencies. We can work SSB, CW, Packet and SSTV.
Our 80 meter station will be running 100W into a deltaloop antenna, so there
should be a possiblity to make good contacts.
Our 20 meter station will also be running 100W into a deltaloop antenna.

Our SSTV people will be active on both 20 and 2 meters, with pictures processed
on our photolab (we have a camcorder and a powerful PC to edit the pictures).
We can work SSTV on 80 and 40 meters if requested.

Unfortunately we are not able to connect the internet, but we will make our
own homepage on our LAN, so the scouts can see how it works.

If you have any questions to our jamboree camp or just want to make skeds,
please respond to my email adress : [e-mail]

For those of you that are on the net during the JOTA-weekend, if you want you
can send emails to my adress and I will try to answer as many mails that I can.


Hope to from you soon.


Vy 73 de OZ7AAQ  Kim.

I tried to obtain a QSL from their US (Connecticut) address last spring
and again in the summer, with no luck. As suggested in PWBR, I addressed a
letter to the QSL Manager, enclosed US$1, and enclosed a detailed
reception report and a clear (but polite) request for a QSL card.  Both
times, I received a schedule in about 2 weeks, but no QSL card.

Anyone else have better luck?

I'm looking at the Universal Radio catalog. They have a big service
department, and offer two-year extended warranties on a couple dozen of
the receivers they sell. This covers repair work they do themselves. Of
the SW receivers priced from $1000 to $2000:

Receiver         List Price     Cost of extended warranty
Drake R8A           1099                   39
Lowe 225E           1199                   29
Kenwood R5000       1249                   29
JRC 535             1429                   39
Icom R71A           1584                   29

For whatever this is worth. Whether some need repair more often, or cost
is higher per event, I don't know.

Using an AM radio as a detector, I found an electrical outlet seems to be
a significant source of RF noise. Could something in the outlet itself be
causing it?  What can I safely do to eliminate it? It's killing my radio
reception. Thanx.

I've heard an outlet wired with aluminium wire and using the ``speed wire''
contacts (rather than the screw terminals) make noise:  So much so that
the cat brought it to our attention.  I'm sure it was making RF noise too!

This can happen even if nothing is plugged into the outlet as the run from
the breaker box may go _through_ several outlets and an appliance at the
end of the line will draw current through the possibly corroded contacts at
each one.

If there are sparks inside that outlet there may also be heat and danger of
fire--better have a look at it, or get an electrician to.

It's probably not the outlet itself that causes the noise, but some
other device connected to the same circuit in your house.  If the
noise is like a 60-cycle buzz, it's probably generated by an SCR
dimmer device (light dimmer switch, stove fan speed control, etc)
and it will go away when you turn the device off.

Sometimes when a fluorescent bulb gets old, it starts to generate
broadband arc noise too.  I have sometimes had luck walking through
the house with an AM receiver until the noise gets loudest, then
looking around for a culprit.

Good luck,  Pierre

I think Tiara Publications still has their reporting guides available in
various languages.  Unfortunately I don't have their address handy right
now.  Maybe someone else does.

  ^^^^^^^^

Please learn how to use private e-mail and not post these "me too" messages
to all of USENET. Besides, this is most likely an illegal scam.

  I got one from Best in Raleigh (N.C.) a few weeks ago as a gift for
my mom (not a DXer, but an enthusiast AM listener) and returned it for
exactly the same reason.  The dial accuracy was horrible (actually, for
this radio, the words "dial" and "accuracy" shouldn't be used in the
same sentence).
  The second one I got was acceptably accurate... not perfect, but good
enough.  Interestingly, the box the second one came in was different
from the first (among the differences, the first box was in color, the
second in B&W.)  Why??? I haven't the foggiest notion.
BTW, the cost was US$49.95, plus 6% sales tax.

I got mine from Bennett, after calling Best and finding they no longer
carried it. Bennett sold it for $35 plus $6 shipping. It's at the local
Woolworth for $49, a convenience especially since I returned the first one
Bennett sent me because the tuning indicator was inaccurate. The
replacement is fine. It's a good radio. I don't work for GE or Bennett.

  I just bought a GE SR III, and it does hear very well. The dial accuracy
is not good, I imagine that if I take it back for another one that i might
get one even worse.

    The problem that is much more of a problem is that right near sunrise
and after, all day long, I get local stations that are on frequencies they
are not supposed to be, Is this called spurs or images ?
  Anyway this is a major problem to try and do any DX'ing at all with this
radio.  I do live in Denver with its many stations, but not very close to
any transmitters. Even on some old clock radios here I do not get these
stations all over the band. I also get some warbly type whistles across
the band, these are not hets and are not RFI from computers etc.
  Has anyone else had these two problems with this radio, should I take it
back, or is this normal for this radio ??
   Anyone have any thoughts about this ?

Thank You
Craig

I saw this radio for the first time the other day.  Does anyone know
anythng about it?  Is it a new model?  Is it any good?  The selling price
was CD$177.00.  I am in the market for a SW radio and would be greatful
for any advice.  I don't have much money so I will be looking at the
lower end of the market.

The new (1996) Passport gave it pretty high marks. You should read their review.

I strongly suggest chucking it. Seeing as this unit has a battery in it,
great care should be taken while pitching it. I will remove the internal
battery, and properly dispose of the unit for you, FREE OF CHARGE!

 Well the YB400 is $249 new in Canada and repair costs
are usually around $100.  I want to upgrade and so if I fixed it nobody would
give me more than $150.  I'd only recapture $50 if I were able to sell it.
Sometime ago I had a RS DX 380 for sale and wasn't able to sell it even
at 40% of cost.  Doesn't seem to be much of a market up here for used
radios.     Cliff

There is a group out there called rec.radio.shortwave <i believe>

In your spare time <snort chuckle> if you have any ... can any of you
surf this group and get info on these portable shortwave units .... or
are they cellular DTMF units?

Don't know. Just as I was about to learn ... my last contract cancelled
out on me.

If any of you can at least get the shortwave FAQ <I'm sur ethere is one>
and email to us ... I can take it from there and start doing research
and compile a bunch of info and present it to us all in an
easy-to-understand fashion ... we need this folks!

EVEN if *they* dont squash communications .... what may be occurring on
the Sun and other related events could easily do it with massive EM
pulses ....

Someone please search for this faq ????

Hello Craig;

 I'm not associated with the publication in any way, I've just

Could anyone out there help me ID a couple of latins I heard
tonite from New Zealand:

1498.2kHz

1159.6kHz

Colombians were coming in stronger than usual at the time. I
haven't picked-up off-freq stations on those frequencies before.

Does anyone have a list of latin stations that are permanently
off frequency?

Cheers,

Andy

   Hello Patrick!  I'm now registered on a local board through a cyber
cafe in downtown Philadelphia called "CyberLoft".  Note the new e-mail
address above:  [e-mail].  I plan to be here on Saturdays, but
my times vary from week to week.  I also plan to check the notes on
November 2 and 6 (I have off from work on those days).

   Please pass my e-mail address to to others who may be interested.

   Some notes... Norway has changed the frequency for the 22 UTC
broadcast to the eastern USA--6200 ex-6195; per Olav Grimdalen.  I
talked to him last week by phone about this, and sure enough 6200 is
fair to good at my location.

   I am now experimenting with a new active antenna from Radio Shack on
my Sony ICF-SW7600G and I'm getting good results.  I've heard China
Radio International's Cambodian service on 9440 signing off at 1125 UTC;
also heard RRI-Jakarta on 9525 at 1115 UTC with music and talks--both
with this radio-antenna setup!

   Well, I have to run now, so I'll check back here on Saturday, October
21.  Any interesting notes on reception in your area, please post it!
Looking forward to hearing from you...

                                      Joe Hanlon in Philadelphia

Does anyone have the times and frequencies for North American English

And, while I'm at it - what time/freq is their 'mailbag' program
broadcast to North America?

I haven't got the info at hand, but...

If you've got access to the Worl Wide Web, try

   http://aloha.nmsu.edu/w5gb/swl

There are links to several frequency lists, and you can get RCI's info
from at least one of the lists.

The http site is really GREAT.

I assume you mean the Sony AN-1 active antenna. I recommend the following:

1. Make sure the AN-1 has its high-pass filter switched-in.
2a. Insert a 10 dB attenuator between the output of the AN-1 and the input
of your DX-440, or
2b. Switch in the 20 db attenuator in the AN-1.

The output level of the AN-1 is so high that it overloads the front-end of
most portables, resulting in intermodulation distortion.

Regards,
-Steve

    My favourite is Short Wave Magazine, published here in the UK, if you

You've hit upon a statement that conservatives can't refute, since because
this has not happened yet there's no experience to determine whether it's

I always thought a Dittohead was a kid who begged to be allowed to run
the spirit duplicator machine (the Ditto« machine) just so he could get
high on the fumes from the Ditto« fluid.

Anyone else remember Ditto« machines?

And is the Iomega Ditto tape backup system the number one choice among

Well, I  think we've about exhausted the possibilities on this one.

If anyone wants to have a political discussion with me, my E-mail addresses are either in your "From"
basket or in my sig. file. I don't mind a civilized discussion of politics and I look forward to having one with
any Limbaugh fan *or* liberal.

Conservatives resort to name calling when THEY can't refute an argument.

Liberals point out spelling and typographical errors when THEY can't refute an
argument.

Joe,

I have a Ditto machine. I took possession of it at an office furniture
clearance a while ago thinking that I might produce cheap copies of
whatever I needed printed. Even though current technology has made it
obsolete, I'm going to hang on to it for old time's sake. I always liked
the smell anyway.

           I agree. The liberals are on the defensive now, and I hope
that's where they will remain. Maybe they should wake up and realize
that they do not speak for the majority of Americans, but rather they
impose the beliefs of a small percentage of the population upon the
entire nation.
          Anyway, this is not a political forum, and I would like to see
it return to its former state, when all we discussed was *shortwave*!

That is correct sir! I never claimed I don't have a slight

two of my favorite hobbies.I use a JRC525 to prowl the SW

Craig,
     No one speaks for the "Majority of Americans" simply because no
one knows who they are. It's very comforting to conservatives to
believe they're in the majority. However, when less than 18% of
eligible voters bothered to vote in the last election, I'd be very
careful about claiming any sort of majority status. It's too soon. We
need to see the results of the next election to see if the electorate
throws this collection of bums out just like they did the last bunch.

     It's foolish to assume that everyone walks in lockstep. Someone
who's conservative on fiscal issues may be "liberal" on social issues.
We tend to get wrapped up in the Limbaugh style rhetoric and assume
folks agree with every word. We need to understand that Limbaugh, while
large by radio standards, has a very small part of the US population
listening. More than 95% of the population isn't listening and doesn't
even know who he is. Around the world, Limbaugh style politics has no
relevance. In Canada, for instance, they can't understand what the
appeal is. Limbaugh, and similar political pundits, on shortwave only
have appeal to transplanted Americans. Citizens of Pago Pago couldn't
care less.

     The Liberal vs. Conservative stuff is really meaningless crud. The
term Liberal now means "I disagree with you, so you must be a Liberal."
The arguments then become intellectually barren.

What a curious statement.

The performance of a receiver is typically dependent on the input match, that is, on
the impedance of the antenna.  For a typical receiver at a given frequency, there
is an impedance value that results in optimal noise figure, and one that results in
maximum gain, and the two are usually distinct.

At microwave frequencies, where my experience is, a considerable amount of attention
is paid to providing the receiver front end with the optimal match.  Perhaps at lower
frequencies there are other circumstances that cause the above statement to be
correct.

Would anyone care to explain this to me?

    If you're talking about the "MLB", eithe from Palomar or across
    the pond, word on the street is mixed.  IMHO they are overpriced
    and don't do much, and one report published which dissected one
    said it's just a standard balun.  You can get one for $15.00 at
    any decent Ham supply, and run either a dipole or loop on it.  I've
    been using a loop and it works fine, better than a dipole for
    general listening, and it cost me less than $20 coax and connectors
    included.

Not quite. "MLB"s and Baluns do different things. The MLB isn't a balun
at all as it "matches" unbalanced to unbalanced. Actually it doesn't
match at all, but it does alleviate the worst case mismatches and reduce
noise. True Baluns can only work on balanced inputs such as your
suggestions. A "long" wire doesn't come into that category and, as the
name suggests, that's what an "MLB" is intended to be used with.

If, as you say, the dissected "MLB" turned out to actually be a balun,
I'd be interested to know what the balanced input was since an "MLB" is
only a three pole device.

Your question requires too multifaceted an answer for a short
posting.  What I can do is point you toward sources of information
you might want to look at.


A good overall feel for shortwave radio *broadcast* listening can
be gotten from an annual publication called "Passport to World Band
Radio".  I'd start there.  The last time I checked, Passport cost
about $17.  Passport *may* be available through your public
library.  Passport is published by:

                        International Broadcast Services, Ltd
                        PO Box 300
                        Penn's Park PA 18943 USA
                        [phone]


"Monitoring Times" is a monthly magazine that covers shortwave
listening, and other radio listening hobbies.  "Monitoring Times"
includes an extensive schedule of English language shortwave
broadcasts, in *every* issue.  For the sake of schedule accuracy,
get the most current issue that you can.  Keep in mind that
schedules change radically twice a year, in the equinox months
(October and March).  "Monitoring Times" *may* be available at a
*large* magazine stand.  The single copy price is $3.95 US, the
subscription rate is more economical.  "Monitoring Times" is
published by:

                        Grove Enterprises
                        PO Box 98
                        Brasstown NC 28902-0098 USA
                        [phone]

Grove Enterprises also sells a large selection of shortwave radios
and books about shortwave radio.  Grove has a free "Catalog &
Buyer's Guide".


Another good free catalog, that's worth having is put out by the
Electronic Equipment Bank.  The catalog says that EEB is "the
largest SWL [short wave listener] supplier in the US".  EEB's
address is:

                        Electronic Equipment Bank
                        323 Mill Street
                        Vienna VA 22180 USA
                        [phone]

Of course, a good source of information is the Usenet News postings
to rec.radio.shortwave.  You'd be surprised what you can learn by
reading the postings often.

The current loss of messages situation seems to be due to problems at
Sprintnet.  If your ISP is served by them, that's probaby why.  I believe
that the mailing list come from a site directly on the backbone.  That
would explain why there are more messages on SWL$L.

        My 8 year old daughter has taken an interest in the world, so
I've dug out my old shortwave set.  I have a Yaesu FRG-7 and an
"eavesdropper" trapped dipole antenna.  The antenna is oriented East-West
in my attic.  I live near Seattle, Washington, USA.  I've picked up Radio
Japan and Radio Australia in the morning here.  I can also get the big
signals like VOA, BBC, and some of the religious stations in the western
hemisphere.

Questions:
1)      How much of an improvement are the new SW receivers?  I have very
little money into this so far, but we'd like to start collecting QSL's
from around the world.

2)      Is the east-west orientation of my antenna going to hinder my
ability to pick up Asian and European stations?

3)      Do broadcasters still do QSL's?  How much detail is required in a
reception report to qualify?

                                Thanks,
                                John Scruggs

I am looking for an older model Grundig Satellit shortwave; preferably a
6001.  The radio is circa 1969-70 and is larger than the current 700 but
smaller than the big 650. Also interested if you have owned the 6001 or
similar old Grundig models.Reply here or to private email. Thanks in
advance.

In English, try 0230-0300 Tuesday-Saturday at 9570. In Portugese,
2200-0230 on the same frequency. Many other times and frequencies to other
parts of the world; a good source overall is _Passport to World Band
Radio_., as programs beamed elsewhere can show up here.

Hi, all.  How the heck does one send mail to the BBC site on Ascension
Island?
I tried to send them a letter and it was returned with a stamp on the front
saying "Received without address at P & DC Miami FL."  The address I used
was
the one in Passport:
        Transmitter Engineer
        BBC World Service
        Atlantic Relay Station

What more do I have to put?  "Dependency of St.Helena"?  "Dependency of the

R Tashkent has an English broadcast at 13:30-14:00 UTC. They announce the
following frequencies: 9715, 6025, 5975 and 5060 kHz. Of these I hear
only 9715, while 15295 which was used in the summer has disappeared. Does
anyone receive the other (or any other) frequencies?

I believe he is refering to a VHF 118-180?mhz converter for the R5000
i have one and it works very well for listening to specific stations but
the radio is not setup for scanning as well as a regular scanner.

I suppose if you used a computer interface that would compensate.

ive seen them used for $50-100 here in the states.

OK, I'll bite. What does this refer to? I have an R-5000, and I'm afraid
I don't know what an "origenal(sic) converter" is.

I agree. But your comment, "We will probably never really know." means
that the Nazis have won the argument in your mind. As a soldier in the
liberation of Germany I can assure you I have no doubts and it
mystifies me why anyone else has. Back to shortwave...

Hey OberFuhrer Kleim,

If you so strongly believe in what you spout and are not in any way
ashamed of it (how, though, I wouldn't know?) what do you care if your
sacred and enlightened views are recorded and preserved for posterity?

All I can say is--Keep up the good work, Jamie.  The majority of this
country supports and appreciates the work you're doing.

I was amazed when I was in Holland a couple of years ago at how much of
the population spoke English.  In the entire time I was there, I met *two*
people who *didn't* speak the language to one extent or another, and most
as well as a native speaker.  Granted, I was staying in large cities, so
that may skew my view, but still....

As far as Diane's comments about Radio Netherlands being too
sexually-oriented in their programming, I guess she's never been to the
country.  Sex seemed to me to play a visible part in the economy.  Between
the sex and the drugs, I had trouble finding postcards that I felt
comfortable sending to my parents.  :-)  So if RN's programs mention sex
more than, say, VOA's programs, perhaps they're just reflecting the
culture from which they're coming.  And that's what a station's broadcasts
are supposed to do.

You were in Holland two years ago ? Next time, give us a call at WRTH
next time you're here...

You're right about English. Kids learn it here as soon as they start
school, and all the Dutch TV channels show English programming with
subtitles..so they exposed to English from the start. As you say, most
Dutch people speak it fluently. Those who don't are likely to be from
the generation whose education was interrrupted by the war - they are
more likely to know some German :-)

Something which hasn't been mentioned is the fact that it's a great
advantage to employ broadcasters who come from. or have at least lived
in, the different target areas, because they understand the needs of
different English-speaking groups. We can all think of stations who
employ only their own nationals, and whose programming often seems to
be out of touch with their target audience...

It's not news that major international broadcasters are facing the axe
if they don't prove that they're worth something to enough people.
Commercial domestic broadcasters have already known for a long time that
if they don't prove the numbers, they can't sign advertisers and they
don't eat...and so SW radio is making a new discovery of an old
principle of numbers gambling.  What local broadcasting has been doing
for years, the SW world is now just discovering--and so it's no surprise
when they screw it up at first, either.  When a major SW club surveys
its membership and finds out that its average constituency is male, of a
certain age, etc etc stats, then the ex-hobbyists who work for the SW
stations, make certain mistakes in judging the global audience at large
by similar standards.

But look at it from their point of view:  they're under pressure to
prove it up or pack it up--and they've got nothing really more
substantial than that to base solid figures on.  (This is your cue, Mr.
Elliot, to prove me wrong.)  And once ya put your paycheck on the line
for whatever number theory you've handed your boss, you're committed to
follow through on it even when it means cutting a flagship program and
replacing it with standard-formula programs whose formulae maximizes
that aforementioned average number (possibly excepting the age factor
because of an intent to look "modern"), like Radio Nederland just did
with Happy Station.

Radio Nederland, and any other station that flips off nearly all its
listeners because they're playing this program poker, DESERVE to be told
off roundly (and I for one am only too willing to do exactly that, as
you've seen--and the madder the "establishment" gets about it, the more
convinced I am that I'm doing a good job).  But that's not the only
factor in playing the numbers game that they're playing with a gun to
the head, and I've already hinted at that when I mentioned Melanie
Merchant and Selena (and I'm still waiting for one of those Thoroughly
Modern Media Millies out there to correct me on the mistake I made on
one of those names.  I guess it's a good thing I didn't hold my
breath--they're not as modern as they'd like to think they, apparently).

                        FANS.

Selena was murdered this year, and nobody has "moved on" because she's
recording no more--she and Tejano in general has gotten only more
popular.  Elvis didn't die when he was buried either, and y'all know
that.  BROADCASTING COROLLARY:  Anything Or Anybody Legendary That Has
Suffered an Unjust, Untimely Death Attains Martyr Status.  Even Kurt
Cobain went through this, albeit undeservedly.  Radio Nederland can feel
like it has a license to flip off a world full of listeners
sanctimoniously because they're comfortably hidden in Holland behind
office walls, and the audience is scattered to the four winds in faraway
lands. If they ever tried to pull their stunts in the direct presence of
a crowd of FANS, they know darn well they'd get ridden on a rail, if not
tarred and feathered first.

But I don't think that they really know what a FAN is; if they did,
they'd respond to letters about programming changes.  Fact is, they're
just as clueless about that as they are about the ratings number game
they've been trying to play--and so it's all the more important that
the representative ambassador knows on no uncertain terms that a
particular broadcaster/program has FANS.  Not hi-standard critical
listeners, not DX'ers, not people too good to admit that they're nuts
about a particular program or personality.  FANS.  Fans like Elvis',
like Selena's, like Tom Mix's.   Speak up as fans, dammit.

I've enjoyed chewing out the backsides of anybody who bullies their
listeners--but now comes the unpleasant prospect of the very necessary
chewing out of listener backsides because of the segment of the
audience who feel it's undignified to be anybody's FAN.  Fans are what
makes the marketing world go 'round, folks--not Nielson or Arbitron.  As
fans, you have a bigger say, and the Big Boys HAVE to listen to you
collectively, because in being so, you're part of a *provable* audience
number that they otherwise can only guess at.

Now let's talk about starting a Happy Station Fan Club....

Radio shack sells a dipole antenna for $17.95CDN.  It basically amounts to
two porcelain standoffs, some plastic insulators and copper wire.  Some
of it insulated some bare.

If anyone has this kit, I'd like to know how long the antenna is once
it's installed.  I asked the guy at RS and he didn't know.  I live in a
Town-house type condominium with a small patio area and I'm wondering if
I have room.  Maybe from one corner of the fence up to the peak of the
roof or along the gutter or along the side of the house.

Thanks.

Its not really a dipole, just a wire.  I believe its 70 feet of bare
copper wire, and 50 feet of insulated wire.  Since its just a
random-wire antenna, you can cut it off anywhere you like.  I live in
an apartment, so I just ended up using the insulated wire hung from my
bedroom window to the living room.

I also discovered that RS insulators are very expensive.  I got some
at Farm and Fleet (sort of a discount home/farm store) in the electric
fence aisle for about 1/10th the price.

The amplifier is not the cleanest around, but it does add oomph to weak
signals. Problem in an apartment is that it amplifies electrical noise
just as much as the weak signals.

It works better on cheap portables (with antenna input jack) than more
expensive desktop sets.

Want mine? :-)

Speaking of which...

Does anyone have any advice on how to connect this beastie to a portable
which *doesn't* have an antenna jack? (Or how to add an antenna jack to a
portable? :-)

I have one of the active antennas which I used with another radio, but
would really like to take it to work to use with the $10 off-shore radio
I keep by the desk.

Thanks... <<<John>>>

 The Radio Shack amplified antenna gives a noticable increase in signal
strengh and reception vs the reception with my radio's telescopic antenna.
My radio is a Sony 7600G.  The antenna has two bands, A for up to 10 mHz
and B for 10 to 30 mHz. It also has a RF gain knob. It operates off of a
9V battery or can be used with a DC adaptor.

Try making a lead that has a connector for the amplifier's output on one
end, and an allegator clip (Radio Shack has them) on the other end.
Connect the clip to your receiver's whip antenna.


Ideally, you should connect the ground terminal of the receiver's battery
to the ground terminal of the antenna's battery using a second lead with a
clip on each end.  If you don't know which the ground terminals are, you
might want to *try* to establish a ground path by tapeing the receiver
and the amplifier to hold their cases back to back.


Good luck.

They have a transmission in English from 2200-2230 UTC on 6100 and 6185 kHz.
Both are very strong in Western Europe, but I don't know whether they make
it to the other side of the Atlantic!

I've owned a R-1000 for a number of years, it still functions as new and

Yes. You need an antenna tuner. The problem is WITHIN your radio, not
something you did to it. I had the same problem until I got an antenna
tuner (NOT tuner/preamp) The tuner is basically an impedence matching
device; it matches the impedence of your antenna to what your radio wants.
This is a common problem with random longwire antennas, like both you and
I have. My tuner is an MFJ-956; it was bought as a gift for me from an
electronics store in Birmingham. I don't know if they still carry them (I
think it was Lowe's Electronics) or even if the store still exists, but
MFJ is a mail-order outfit in MS and you'll find their address in the WRTH
or most likely an ad some radio mag. Radio Shack or some other electronics
store might even carry one locally; I haven't looked for one in years.

And BTW, there's not much to the innards of a tuner, and I know that both
NRC and IRCA bookstores offer plans for making one of your own, if you're

I recently moved to the country on 90 acres of land about 100 miles
northwest of Houston Texas. I have built longwire antennas up to 3
acres in length and once a couple of V beams on 5 acres. Now that I
have more land available I want to build several rombic antennas. My
reciever is an R-390a. How long can each antenna be before the radio
overloads on strong stations? I do listen to some of those but also
the weaker stations. Are there any books other than the ARRL handbook
that cover this antenns in detail? By the way, I will be feeding them
with homemade ladder line also known as open wire feed at about 4 inch
spacing. I would also like to hear from anyone that has used this type
of antenna.

The 808 is a nice portable with good sensitivity and selectivity, and
decent audio. However, the YB400 has **MUCH** better audio and better FM
performance. The Sony has a synchronous detector which will aid in
reducing distortion during selective fading, and improving selectivity
using its selectable sideband feature.  Both the Sony and the
YB400 receive single sideband, which the 808 does not.






PS: Posting the same inquiry to the same newsgroup, 2 hours apart, is not
going to get you the kind of additional response you're looking for.

Basically, if you live near a Radio Shack, the ATS-808, sold at RS as the
Realistic DX-380, is your best value for money. Radio Shack has been
discontinuing these for around $100-$120 (I bought two as gifts for
$100 apiece). Having said that, both the Grundig and the Sony are better
radios (either of these will run you around $200 plus AC adapter for the
Sony). The Grundig has better sound, but the Sony will pull in more
stations due to (a) slightly better sensitivity, and (b) synchronous
detection, which enables you to eliminate a fair amount of adjacent-
channel interference. So, which one to buy depends on what sort of
listening you are planning to do. If you live in an area where signals
are weak, go with the Sony. If not, the Grundig has a more pleasant
sound.

As far as the ATS-808 goes, however, it has decent sensitivity, dual
bandwidths, and stereo FM through headphones. This was my first shortwave
radio, and I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. One suggestion, no matter
which of the three radios you go with: get a Radio Shack (or equivalent)
reel antenna. This is about 25 feet (or so) of insulated wire attached
to a spool for storage. At the end of the wire is a little clip that
will attach to virtually any telescopic antenna. This greatly improved
my reception with the ATS-808, and I still use it with my Sony 2010.
It doesn't work as well as a proper outdoor antenna, but it's less than
$10, and you don't have to worry about electrical storms, what your
neighbors think about the aesthetic merits of your antenna, etc.

In sum, if you can find the ATS-808 for something less than $150, I'd
probably go with it. If you want a more serious radio, I would go
with the $350 Sony 2010. But such opinions are very subjective and also
strongly dependent on the signal strengths were you live and what sorts
of listening you wish to do.

Hope you enjoy your eventual purchase as much as I have enjoyed mine.

I have the UK equivalent: Roberts 808. I am very pleased with it and have
only two complaints: 1) not enough memory slots for storing SW
frequencies, and 2) the sharp 'beep' that sounds when leaving or entering
the SW bands or when switching to other modes (MW, LW, SW, and FM) can be
heard by others, even when listening with earphones.

It is very sensitive, especially with a long wire antenna for the SW. Very
little adjacent channel interference when set to 'narrow' mode; however,
the tuned station has to be very weak and the adjacent station very strong
for this to be a concern.

I would assume the Sangean unit is the same in these respects. Very minor
complaints: I highly recommend it.

Cheers,

I've got a Realistic DX-380, which is the same as the ATS-808. If you
have a Radio Shack anywhere around, try to buy/copy a DX-380 manual.
In the meantime, find the "FREQ" button on the receiver. You must push
the FREQ button <<before>> you key in the frequency, otherwise the
radio thinks you are calling up presets. You don't need to set the band;
the radio figures that out from the frequency you input. Anyway, to hear,
say, 9515 kHz, hit FREQ, and then 9515. To get 90.5 MHz, hit FREQ,
and then 90.5. The ATS-808 has some nice features, including two
bandwidths, which can be helpful on crowded bands, and 1kHz tuning on
the LW/MW/SW bands.

Good luck,
Chris DeMarco

Lines: 72

With the ongoing discussion over the fate of shortwave broadcasts,
including the termination of VOA SW transmissions to Europe, a couple of
points come to mind.

Historicaly, the ability to deliver the message has always preceeded the
ability to receive it.  Here in the United States, Frank Conrad's
experimental; broadcasts from Westinghouse Corp (Frank was an amatuer
radio operator) became so popular that the company decided to capitalize
on them as a way to sell radios.  Thus was born station KDKA in 1920, not
because people had radios sitting around with nothing to listen to, but
because the technology to transmit programming and then produce receivers
became readily available.

First the technology, then the audience.

The same is true of shortwave broadcasting.  The 20's saw a few stations
experiment with the then uncharted "waters" of the HF spectrum.  Word
spread of these broadcasts.  By 1931, shortwave had become so popular
that over one million sets were manufactured and sold in the United
States alone.  Monikers such as "Hammarlund" became household names. It's
important to remember that obtaining a shortwave receiver in the 20's
meant building it yourself, either from parts you obtained on your own,
or from kits.  Coils were often hand wound by the owner.

The ability to transmit on these frequencies however, is what spurred the
development of assembled self contained receivers.

First, the technology, then the audience.

Now it seems we find ourselves in another technological progression.
While shortwave remains the most econimical/practical method of reaching
a mass audience at this time, this will not always be the case.  Digital
satellite broadcasts(as promoted in Europe by the Eureka system), or IBOC
DAB broadcasts as promoted here in the US will have a place in future
transmission and reception modes.

First the technology, then the audience.

Imagine if you will, that satellite broadcasts had been introduced in the
20's and 30's.  The technology became established and widely excepted.
Then, for one reason or another, 60 years later, shortwave was found to
be a better (or additional) way of delivering the message.  Would there
be concerns and complaints about moving from satellite to shortwave?
Probably.

Why?  Because one delivery method had become established.  It's
comfortable.  We understood it.

Change is always difficult.  With the shortwave hobby even more so.  It
won't be the same digging out that rare HF DX when tuning in satellite
broadcasts.

But then, you won't need to wonder where the BBC went after Marilyn
struck Antigua either.  The BBC will be there, on your "Starman" (or
whatever) whenever you want it.:-)  And, you might even be able to tune
in those other "streams" as well without having to worry about whether
the propgation path is open.:-)



I submit that shortwave as a delivery medium will always have a place, if
not at the head of the table, at the table nonetheless.  The VOA, BBC etc
etc progression to other delivery methods is simply a natural process
having occurred time and again throughout history.

Any one else?

Greetings All!

My Sony SW100S has developed a problem. The audio is gone when you open the clamshell. If you close it back, the speaker
kicks back in. I remember seeing a thread a while back where a ribbon cable was repaired and the unit repaired.

Would someone elaborate on a cure for my radio? Thanks!

Is this a common problem?  I've used the radio so infrequently, I wonder what happened?

Mike

This old radio Sony ICF2001 is excellent for sw broadcast, especially
when you know what freq you are going to want in advance.  It has
developed however an annoying intermitten fault I cannot trace.
Essentially the audio fades away (but the sig strength remains) on
sw and FM until you touch or move the extenal antenna connection -
sounds like a loose connection somewhere or a broken pcb link but
I canot find it.  Take it apart - fine - put it together - fine then,
a few days later - here we go again.

I dont suppose someone has 'been there and bought the tee shirt on
this one eh?  :(

I use the SW100 both at home (Texas) and on the road (Taiwan, at this moment)
with great success.  I had my doubts about the active antenna until I started
using it in the windows of hotel rooms -- a terrific convenience.  The power
converter, however, can deliver an overpowering amount of noise from the power
lines to the receiver in some environments.

I also have the 2002, 2010 and SW1 models.  It compares quite favorably to
them all, and outperforms all but the 2010.

As do I.  It is an aesthetic marvel; the only serious objection I have to its
design is the typical Sony characteristic of only letting you use the clock
when the receiver is off.  I wish they would stop doing that.

My dad is into shortwave, and had a question.  The Passport to World Band
Radio indicates that many frequencies change their target countries in
the winter & summer.  The question is this - are there specific dates when
these changes take place, or does it vary from station to station?

Please email if possible.

Thanks.

Most international stations change their schedules twice a year, on
the last Sundays of March and September respectively. This coincides
with the dates when the clocks in most of Europe are altered. From
next year, 1996, the change back to winter time will be one month
later, at the end of October. The international broadcasters which
belong to the HFCC (frequency coordination) group have decided to make
their changes according to the new pattern, which will mean a five
month winter period and a seven month summer period. I imagine that
other broadcasters will follow suit, otherwise there is going to be a
certain amount of confusion next winter :-)

Confusion?  What confusion?  It's really very simple.  From my perspective,
there are four broadcasting seasons: Summer, October, Winter, and the week
between the last Sunday in March and the first Sunday in April.  ;-)

Brendon,

I can't claim any credit for this - only that Tim Dobbins and
William K. McFadden both sent me copies following my request
 - appologies and thanks to the original author.

Hopefully this is of use....

For English broadcasts try

9905 from 0100-0130
9905 from 0400-0459
Internet address of SRI is Someday@Somewhere, but writing to
SRI
CH-3000
Bern 15,
Switzerland

will get you an airmail copy of the current schedule.

I visited SRI in September and had a chat with Bob Zanotti. Both Bob
Z and Bob T are doing just great.  The station staff  has moved from
the fourth floor to the second floor in the process losing their
individual offices.  Bob is still producing and preparing transcription
programs along with the occasional reporting assignment.   Several staff
members have voluntarily resigned including longtime favorite Paul
Suffrin (20+ years with SRI) who may be opening a B&B in the Toronto
area, Good Luck to Paul. Also leaving was Marion Knude(sorry for the
spelling) who now works for DW TV. The five year term of Lori
Hieber expired. SRI just does not sound as friendly without these
voices.

Bob mentioned and I observed that the feature programs in the second
half hour of the 0400 broadcast have disappeared in place of a Dateline
type feature which at least for now appears to be more or less a repeat
of the earlier Newsnet.

Several weeks ago, I posted a request entitled "Revisiting the 'Signals'
Controversy".  I wanted to know about the events leading to the demise of
that radio program, which ran on WWCR in 1990 and 91.  I also wanted to
hear from anybody who had sent in for a Ramsey FM-10 and didn't get one,
as well as anyone who pursued a complaint against the "Signals" folks
with the Postal inspector.

I'm happy to say that I did get a couple of responses to my post.  Here
is one story, sent to me by a person who wishes to remain anonymous:

>>
>> I met the Signals folks as part of their SWL / Portal computer
>> network get-together on weekends, where folks got together to
>> do some dxing and listen around the bands together. After about
>> 6 months of such communications, (with Havana Moon, Harry Helms,
>> and other DXers) I was contacted to do a spot on their new show.
>> Kristian Kayes real name is (I believe) Christine K Paustian, and
>> Havana Moon's first name is "Bill". I spoke numerous times to them, and
>> they both seemed to usually be at the same phone number given as the
>> "Radio Collection". I do believe that 'that masked man' was/is
>> Havana Moon/"Bill".
>>
>> Initially, the correspondents would call a number, where a tape
>> recorder/answering machine recorded the callers spots for the show.
>> After that time, when it became clear that the quality of such an
>> arrangement was limited, and the correspondents called another
>> number, where the feature was recorded and produced with better equipment.

>> I never received anything, except for a SIGNALS t-shirt for the
>> numerous features that were recorded, and I had the misfortune of
>> recommending a friend to their offer of the Ramsey FM transmitters...
>> which he was defrauded for. Although I dont know for sure, I dont
>> believe that there was any premeditated intent to defraud, but past a
>> certain point the situation and committments got out of hand. There were
>> allegations or insinuations of certain personal issues among the
principals
>> that contribuited to the collapse. Indeed, I know that Christine herself
>> was the victim of Postal Fraud not more than a few months before The Radio
>> Collection imploded, and that she was furious, dissapointed and filed
>> complaints with a Postal Inspector. I have no idea what the details
>> were that led to the decision to skip town. I really doubt that it was
>> based on a premeditated effort to defraud customers.
>>
>> I'd like to know what happened too... I went to call in my show one
>> weekend, only to find that the show had been cancelled. No goodbyes,
>> no so longs, no thank yous. I would believe though, that those two
>> principals involved, still read this newsgroup regularly. Forget numbers
>> stations origins.. THERE is a mystery.

I'd like to thank this person publicly for being so forthcoming.  Is
there anyone else out there who would like to share their story?
Remember, this is not about recriminations, this is about historical
information.  I'd just like to know what happened.

I still have yet to hear from anyone who was defrauded, or anyone who
pursued a complaint.  I remember hearing at the time that some people
had contacted the postal inspector.  Are any of you out there?  What kind
of result did you get?

I believe that some of the people who regularly post to this news group
probably know a lot more than they're telling.  Please guys, if you
know something, please mail me with the info, or post it to the group.
Remember, there's always anon.penet.fi, if you want anonymity.

It has been suggested that "Christopher King" and "Kristen Kaye" might
actually be reading this group.  So, to Havana Moon/Bill/Masked Man/
Christopher/Whatever, I say... Attencion- Ocho-Seis-Seis...Cero-Cinco
How about sending me a secret message about what went on that fateful
night when the show producers called in their segments, and no one was
there?

Thanks in advance for all the rich, detailed information you will be
sending me...

I'm sure everyone else is getting as fed up as I am with this
ridiculous nonsense. I have neither the time nor the inclination to
continue this thread, but if anyone thinks they have just cause to
complain about me, for whatever reason, you will probably find that a
letter to my boss is a little more effective than a private E-mail to
Diane Levesque :-)

Diane, I have known Andy for about ten years, and shared an office with
him for one of those years. In that time, I've never known him be rude
about people or send "flames" by email.

Shortwave industry is *the wrong term to use*. International broadcasting
is the correct term: this includes reaching audiences by local FM,
mediumwave or cable system broadcast as well as shortwave or satellite.
Shortwave is, and will continue to be, an important means of programme
distribution, but it is not the only option and has not been for five or
six years now as far as individuals are concerned. And, what's wrong with
international broadcasting being more commercially oriented? To justify
their tax dollar, guilder, mark, pound or peseta these days,
international broadcasters need to show that they're visible and reaching
listeners in a cost effective way. You might not like it, but that's how
it is.

The crazed Christians don't have a 24-hour satellite audio channel, heard on
cable in many parts of Europe and even on over-the-air FM in a few cities.  I
don't think the Voice of Russia does either.

I contend that we should stop thinking of VOA, BBC World Service and the like
as "shortwave radio stations" and instead consider them to be
international broadcasters that *may* use SW but may also get their
programming to the listeners in other ways.

Well put. That's exactly how these stations have thought of themselves
for a considerable time now. Unfortunately those of us who work in the
international broadcasting industry have been castigated for saying
so, by a minority of people who frequent newsgroups such as this one,
These people believe (wrongly) that their beloved shortwave hobby is
being threatened by some of the newer methods of program placement.

A few weeks ago here in The Netherlands we had the Towards 2000
Conference, attended by international broadcasters from every
continent. Staying with me were two close friends - Victor
Goonetilleke from Sri Lanka and Anker Petersen, chairman of the Danish
Shortwave Clubs International. Incidentally, I am also a member of the
DSWCI and have been for many years.

The case for the continuing importance of shortwave was put very
effectively by Victor, whose speech was thought by many to be the best
one of the whole conference. But Victor isn't blind to new technology.
As a radio ham, he embraces it and has a very open mind about it. This
contrasts starkly with the hysterical rantings of a few people outside
the industry who don't understand the complex political, technical,
cultural, financial and legal  issues involved.

I do not expect the average shortwave listener to be as well informed
on these issues as people who are paid to know about them. But what I
find irritating is that there are some who do not even want to be told
about these issues - and indeed, I have in the past been personally
abused for trying to explain the context in which some of these
changes are taking place.

I would love to see this newsgroup become a forum where people on both
sides of the microphone can exchange information - and indeed, debate
issues, about shortwave radio in a calm and rational manner rather
than like kids fighting in the school playground. Well rehearsed
arguments, such as the ones Victor produced in his speech, are taken
seriously by the broadcasters. Rantings, especially personalized ones,
have exactly the opposite effect.

I was becoming very despondent at the state of this newsgroup. Ed's
comments give me hope that all is not yet lost!

Well I am a big fan of yours.  I know you are actually the main
commercial announcer for WABC in New York, as well as some
syndicated programs, and have been for many many years.

I vagualy though of going into radio myself once so I
listen carefully to who is who.

I remember Sonny Block used to always say "Thank you
Johnny Donovan" after you introduced his show.   He's in
jail now charged with defrauding his listeners - do you think
he'll beat it?

Rush Limbaugh started out calling you "John Donovan"
but switched to "Johnny Donovan" eventually, I think.

Hmm, and Gilfer Shortwave runs ads on WABC which always
surprised me a bit - did you have anything to do with getting
them on board?

You don't have to answer of course.

C. Crane runs ads on the ABC O&O talk stations in San Francisco, KGO (810) and
KSFO (560). They seem to run them mostly from about 8 or 9 P.M. to 5 A.M. so
they would seem to be going after the skip crowd.

Of course, the most prominent SW-promoting talk show was Ray Breen on KABC,
790, Los Angeles. (and, for a while, on the ABC satellite network) He used to
do a once-a-year SWL night with shortwave personalities. (He is now retired.)

I just read today that Ray Briem is doing afternoons on KIEV, 870AM, a
station licensed to Glendale that mostly runs time-brokered programming.

I seem to recall that Jay Diamond was talking every once in a
while on his late-nite show (when he wasn't going ballistic about
Al Sharpton, etc.) about wanting to listen to short wave and requesting
info on receivers, etc., from listeners. Shortly thereafter, Gilfer set him
up with a YB400 and was starting to advertise on his show.

BTW, Johnny, I too am a DXer who loves WABC, and no, I'm not a right-wing
wing-nut. The personalities are easily the most entertaining on radio. In case
you're interested, the 5 stations I listen most regularly to are BBC-WS, Radio
New Zealand International (lotsa great live rugby!!), WABC, WFAN, and CBC.

                       Please help me in my search for a DX-380. I'm
hoping to find a new one in a radio shack store, I live in Rhode Island, I
have searched the whole North East, none to be found. It is my hope I can
find one some where in the Country.
                       If you can help me I would appreciate it!!  I guess
if all else fails I would go for a used  DX-380 or Sangean ATS 808.

   Thank You!

Radio Exterior de Espana does indeed broadcast lessons in their North
American services, audible on 9545.  The NAm service is heard at 0000
and 0100 UTC.  The lessons (Espanol, un idioma sin fronteras) are
normally heard about 6-7 minutes prior to the end of the 1 hour
service.  So you should hear at 0055 and 0155 approx.

I am new at this [I have read the FAQ].

I just bought a sony 7600G, with SD.  I live in a woodframe townhouse in
suburban Maryland, and I cannot get a comprehensible signal from Deutsche
Welle at any of the frequencies listed in various documents from the Net,
nor on those listed in DW's own guide.  6100 kHz seems to be best, but
that's not saying much.

I realize that a SW signal, even from a powerhouse like DW, is not going
to be like a local AM station, but this audio is ridiculous.  I can do
better with Real Audio playing from my computer!  [If they offered
something other than news, I might just stay with them.]

Would anyone have any suggestions?  Post, or if the answer is not of
general interest, e-mail is fine too.

Thanks in advance!

Polly,

SW reception is particularly dependent on antenna configuration.  What sort of
antenna are you using?  If you are using just the whip, that could be the
problem.

I'm a bit of a newbie myself, but I've come up with a configuration that
works, although it might make a $eriou$" hobbiest cringe.  I use a 10m length
of unshielded copper wire. One end is wrapped about 10 times around the top of
the whip antenna; from there, it travels from my dining room across the
ceiling of the living room out onto the balcony.  Since it's unshielded, I
sometimes experience interference from indoor appliances; if the interference
is really bad, I break the fuse servicing the outlets in the wall above which
the indoor portion of the wire runs.

I also sometimes use an active antenna, the one Radio Shack sells for around
$15.  I wrap the wire around its whip just as I do the whip on my RS-390.  It
sometimes helps, but keep the gain down if you get distortion.

This is called a longwire antenna.  Mine could probably use improvement
(grounding, etc.), but it works, it's cheap, it's simple, and I'm happy.

Check out rec.radio.antenna.  I don't know their FAQ, but they should be able
to give you more informative info thatn my newbie data.

Good luck,



Ken

If you mean the 'time change', it happens on October 29th this
year.

Thanks to the hard work of a net-friend, AIRWAVES now has  free,
easy-to-use World Wide Web page for searching the FCC's AM radio
Database.

You can search by frequency, City, State, Province, or by region
(several USA Metro areas are pre-selected or you can enter your own
lat/long).

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.

In addition you can see a color map of the transmitter location by
clicking on the call letters of any Continental USA station in the
search results window.  Note that the maps are generated by the US
Census bureau and are sometimes quite slow.

To use this you must have a forms-capable browser.  I suggest using
Netscape 1.1N since much of the formatting is Netscape Enhanced
(tables, backgrounds, centering etc).  It is usable on Lynx, but is
bely cumbersome and not pretty.

The URL is  http://radio.aiss.uiuc.edu/~rrb/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 US time).

Hi, I have both the YB500 and the Sony 2010.
They are GREAT radios, both.  The YB500 has some features which
are excellent for memory of many stations.
Very logical and interesting rado.  Slightly better sound quality,
probably due to a superior speaker.
Controls and buttons very good ergonomics, IMHO. (subjective)
A bit more portable, again a subjective point IMHO over the 2010.

Sensitivity and station search everything I like.

 I would not know if it were possible to
use objective criteria to tell you which is best.

I was able to obtain the YB500 in New York City, apparantly, the
radio is marketed very well in Europe and Brit, but curiously, not in
the USA.  ?why,  I do not know.
A 1/4 page advertisement appeared in the Wall Street Journal about a
year ago.

I think, that there was only one importer, a high class speciality
shop in New York City.,

I have never really used the YB500, (still in original  box,manuals
etc.)

My 2010 is my radio of choice.(It was my very first SW radio)

I am not sure, but maybe if you were interested, you might make
me an offer for the YB500 (I do not know the current pricing)

Would anyone be so kind and post the schedules of Eritrean (and also
Ethiopian) radio broadcasts to Africa and Europe? I'm interested in
broadcasts in Western European languages and in Arabic. I'm going to the
Sudan next week, and would like to tune into the neighbouring countries
stations - they are quite at loggerheads at the moment.

Thank you very much

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

  It won't -- the IF processing is where those filters work and the
FM and AIR bands don't use those 455 kHz IFs....

  There ARE replacement IF filters for the FM IF  (is it Kiwa that
sells them?) but I've no experience with how or if they work.

>Will an external antenna improve the situation?  Thanks for the help.
  A SHARPLY tuned antenna may help, but the best bet is to try off-set
tuning (eg go to 94.15 or 94.2 to get away from the pesky 93.9 station)
and/or replace the FM IF filter

  Let us know how you make out.   73  //kvz

I have it, but I'm waiting for the receiver.
I will use it to cross the Atlantic Ocean on January in a spanish
regatta. It apears to be a good program but I couldn't try it with a
good receiver. I could fax you some pages of the documentation.

Dear Andy Sennitt:

My, is it that time of the year once again? This heartwarming occasion
just seems to come earlier and earlier each year.

I speak, of course, of the first time someone asks you when the new WRTH
is coming out.

This fine online tradition seemed to begin five or six years back, on the
old FIDO SW Echo. Around the beginning of December, someone would
inevitable ask you the fabled question. The first appearance of the
question seems to move back about ten days a year. This means that in the
year 2005 you'll start getting that question around the end of June.

Or you would, if things were allowed to run their course. But I'm doing
an end run around all that. Please allow me to be the first to ask you:

   When can we expect the 1997 WRTH?

While you're at it, you might take this opportunity to answer these other
perpetually fascinating questions:

1. When are you going to put the WRTH out on CD?
2. How much will you charge for it?
3. Why don't you put the WRTH infor online?
4. How much will you charge for it?
5. If it ends up online, don't you think it should be free?
6. Where would you get off charging for this service?
7. When are you going to start showing us the interval signals in musical
notation once again?
8. Why don't you have more accurate maps?
9. Why don't you run the definitive schedules for all shortwave stations
for the entire year, not just the most recent two quarters?
10. Did you really once work at BBC Monitoring?
11. What was it like? I'll bet it was cool.
12. Why don't you review all receivers ever made in each edition of WRTH?
13. How can you say that [name of receiver] is [whatever you said about it]?
14. Why don't you ever answer my email?

You mean it doesn't exist any more ? Or just that it's...well...old ?
:-)

Hi, Al. As a matter of fact, the whole question of when we publish
WRTH is going to have to be reviewed in the light of the decision to
start winter schedules a month later as from next year. In theory, our
current production schedule should still be possible (remember the
good old days when schedules used to change on the first Sunday in
November ?) The problem is, the schedules seem to alter a great deal
within the first few weeks, so we would essentially have to publish
the 'beta version' and then people who buy the book in January would
write and tell me the frequencies were "wrong". I'm not sure if I want
to encourage that sort of 'constructive' criticism :-)

>   When can we expect the 1997 WRTH?

January 1998. I've decided to take a year off :-)

I am currently using a 55-foot wire strung about 5 feet over one of the
eaves of the house, about 25 feet off the ground.  This wire is matched to
the receiver by RF Systems' Magnetic Balun.  I am interested only in the
broadcast bands from 49 meters up.  What differences in reception would I
be likely to see if I should string up an Eavesdropper instead?

Ben,

Arnie told me a while back that he only has Internet access one or two
days a week, so don't expect a reply as speedy as you would get from
the States :-)

Or how about rec.radio.shortwave and SWL-L taking up a pool to buy the old
Baskerville estate where BBC Monitoring has its antennas?  Yep, as in
Hounds of Baskerville.

I just looked at this myself.  This may or may not mean anything, but they
said the plans were to sell off 1,400 transmitters which relay TV and radio to
_British_ homes.  I don't know if this means only the domestic services might
be affected -- World Service might still remain govt-owned since WS and
domestic services tend to be somewhat separate.

Then again, they may not -- this is all speculation.  :-)

Gosh, that takes me back :-) If I recall correctly, they had a broadcast
in the early afternoon German time, which was good listening. The signal
though was either there and rock solid or not there at all. I also think
one of the other regular users of 21 MHz was Radio Norway.

Hawaii for just about any form of listening.

Norway/Sweden/Finland for the same  except less personal comfort.

Fewer Megawatt transmitters per square mile than anywhere else.

Why not an island with only 1 amateur station for the best DX location?

Try Pitcairn Island ...

I would have to say the Azores Islands. Reason. Well you in the middle of
Europe and North America.  When I used to live there I was able to get
transmissions direct to almost any place in the world.
Another reason. MW DX. Here you are in the middle of the ocean, with
Africa, N. America, C. America, Caribean, S. America, Europe. Your never
far from the Ocean. TONS of room to string Antennas.

I'm sure there are a few others I could name.

My .02 cents worth.

The only one I know of is CFRB 1010, Toronto, which broadcasts its signal
on shortwave relay station CFRX, on 6070 kHz.  Strangely enough, unlike
other shortwave stations, CFRX doesn't change frequencies.

Try Saturday from around 1645 UTC on 9515 or 17840kHz as most of the
Premier League games are ending.

A small fraction of a game is usually broadcast
on the BBC World Service between 11 a.m. and
12 p.m. on Saturdays; the roundup of scores is
given at the end of the hour and at the beginning
of the following hour.

Otherwise, you should listen to Sports Roundup,
a daily sports program that is on at 8:45 a.m.,
11:15 p.m. and (I think) 6:45 p.m. in North America.
(The times are EDT.  The live Saturday broadcast
is messed up temporarily because British Summer
Time and U. S. Daylight time are not synchronized.)

Note: These times are for the Americas.  If you live
elsewhere, you should probably check out the BBC's
Web/schedule page.

 Am in need of some long ferrite rods for a Radio West antenna.  Believe
they *were* about two feet long. Any help on locating source would be
appreciated.

I just bought a SR III about a week ago and am very satisfied with it so
far.  I don't have an ext. ant hooked up to yet, but may try it with a
very long sloping dipole I am putting up for the ham hf bands.  I was
wondering if anyone has info or possible mods for improving rx.  Like I
said, I am very happy with the ears on this radio.  I am using it with a
SELECT-A-TENNA which really brings in the dx.

I'm handling an estate sale for the elderly widow who lives behind our
house.  Her husband passed away a few months ago and had many, many sw
radios, scanners, etc.  She has asked me to sell them for her at a fair
price.  I have a grundig satellit 600 sitting in front of me, complete
with all documentation, and box.  What would a fair price be for this
radio (both for seller and buyer).

Many thanks, regards

I bought a Gundig Sat. 500 about a year ago for $220 (only 43 channels of
memory)  And based on the quality of sound and sensitivity, I would do it
again.  Maybe you can use this as a reference when you try to sell your
600.

Today I've been monitoring SAM 201\203 on 11445.0 USB,my question
is when they say there switching to "546 upper" what freq. is
this or is it a channel designator. Do they mean 5460.0 or just
a predetermined channel in the 546?.0 range.

Thanks

   But not when you're dealing with a network that uses "Foxtrot"
channels, like "FOX 546 Upper" for brevity & a slight degree of
operational security.

Ya kill me! The reason that they are off frequency is that
they are  drifting.

And, they do that constantly..

Perhaps a list in real-time!  :-)

Turks & Caicos on 532  'audibly' drifts throughout
the evening--- makes it fun to follow..

Other stations that one should be able to get in the USA are
Guatemalans Radio Maya de Barillas on 2360 and La VVoz de
Atitlan on 2390. Maya is weaker, but can be more easily IDed as
it is parallel to 3325 kHz. 2390 is also used by Radio
Huayacocotla in Mexico, but Atitlan stays on later, so is more
widely heard. Of course, don't discount WWV on 2500 kHz - that
's the easiest of all!

   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.

Well, there are plans for a mutimedia version...which obviously will
incorporate sorting procedures of the kind you need. I cannot give you
a time scale for this project...but it won't be in 1996 because
budgeting for that year has already been completed. BTW, if you wonder
why it takes so long, there are only two full-time staff on WRTH. I'd
love to be able to do more and work faster, but I also have to eat,
sleep and go to the bathroom :-) Then, of course, there are all those
E-mail 'flames' that I have to write and send to people...

Pardon me for breaking in here, guys. But just last week I've finished a
database of all international shortwave broadcasts. It carries 8.400+ entries
and will be published on CD-ROM in December, by Klingenfuss Publications in
Germany. Since this is not the right place to insert commercial messages, I
suggest anyone interested in pricing and ordering info would send me an e-mail,
so I can reply directly.

Greetings,

Though there is a Radio Nicaragua, you might try Radio Miskut
on 5770 khz  USB around 2200 hours.  They are heard well in Central
America during the day but I believe they sign off around 2200 to 2300
hours.

Good luck,

BOLIVIA 4682 Radio Paititi 1009-1034 10/19 Mix of various Andean
mx styles & romantic ballads, w/ OM anmts & greetings after each
song or two. ID as "Radio Paititi, una emisora del hogar." Poor,
but best ever heard here. (Moore)

BOLIVIA 4719.8 Radio Abaroa 0958-1002 10/19 Trop mx & OM talk
with mentions of Riberalta, but no ID. Obviously this my UNID
here a few weeks ago. Poor. (Moore)

ECUADOR 4020 La Voz de Su Amigo 1109-1122 10/18 Romx & ID as
"Estereo Musical - La Voz de Su Amigo". Poor. (Moore)

PERU 4606.5 Radio Ayaviri 1007-1009 19/19 Presumed the one with
barely audible OM Sp talk. (Moore)

PERU 4619.74 Radio Soledad? 1043-1130  Huaynos & YL ancr to 1110,
when an OM ancr came on with a lot of ads. Thought the ads were
taped, but then he went into some obviously live material,
including a time check. No ID, but several mentions of Parcoy in
the ads, so assume this is Soledad drifting around. Poor-Fair
(Moore)

PERU 5005 Radio Jaen 1045-1106 10/18 Rel pgm w/ mentions of
specific listeners in various towns. Anmt about "aqui en la
provincia de Jaen", but no ID, and into folk mx at 1102. Fair.
(Moore)

PERU 5498 Radio Lajas 0050-0225 10/18 Weak w/ folk mx - some
really nice flutes, time checks, comunicados. Mentions of Lajas
at 0157, 0210 and IDs at 0216, 0222. Switched to tropical mx at
0200. As Rich McVicar pointed out, Lajas is just west of Chota.
In fact, it is on the road leading west and north out of Chota to
Chiclayo, with a branch going to Cutervo. I remember passing
through the town in 1985, standing in the back of a wooden
frieght truck on our way back to Chota from Cutervo. We crested a
hill and Lajas was spread out before us at the bottom of the
hill. It was a beautiful view, but unfortunately we didn't have
the camera out. It wasn't that large of a place - maybe a quarter
of the size of Chota or Cutervo. It's only a few miles from
Chota, so all the commercial growth probably goes there. (Moore)

PERU 6536 Rdif Huancabamba 1127-1129 10/18 ID w/ slogan "La
Estacion Alegre" noted while tuning by. Fair. (Moore)

PERU 6726 R Satelite 0150-0235 10/19 Exc w/ local nx program to
0215 and then a long list of comunicados. Most comunicados were
for the Santa Cruz area, but one was for someone's sister in
Huancabamba and another for an uncle in Lima. This shows just why
shortwave is so important for these stations to perform their
role as a replacement for the telephone! (Moore)

Are you implying that Rush Limbaugh is infallible?  That he is never, ever
wrong?
That he is ALWAYS right??   I understand agreeing with somebody's ideas,
but this is
a bit much.
Is it possible that, in order to find something negative to say, you've made a

While I agree with a lot of what you said, I find it to be very much
off-topic here. Why don't you take it to:

alt.loonies.politics.bash.limbaugh???

RI>Craig,
RI>     No one speaks for the "Majority of Americans" simply because no
RI>one knows who they are.

HILARIOUS that you state this in one breath and in the VERY NEXT
PARAGRAPH you show your true colours by doing the EXACT same thing
you just denounced!!! This is like watching a dog chase its own tail!

RI>     It's foolish to assume that everyone walks in lockstep.

Keep watching folks, here comes Rich about to do the VERY THING he
tells Craig NOT to do! You are making this newsgroup look like
it is rec.comedy.self

RI>In Canada, for instance, they can't understand what the
RI>appeal is.

While I agree with a lot of your criticisms of Limbaugh, it will do no
good to condemn others for using the broad brush and then turn around in
the next paragraph and claim to speak for all Canadians yourself!!!!!

RI>     The Liberal vs. Conservative stuff is really meaningless crud. The
RI>term Liberal now means "I disagree with you, so you must be a Liberal."
RI>The arguments then become intellectually barren.

What utter drivel. You need half a brain! Maybe RL will lend you the one
he claims to have tied behind his back! :-)

Words DO have meaning. WHile I agree that there are deeper problems
way beyond the Conservative-Livberal fight, these labels DO have
meaning. You need to look up "liberal" in a dictionary perhaps.

And now folks, back to your normally scheduled programming.

BTW - did anyone else get the Radio Russia Listener Survey form in the
mail this week?

My advice to you is to be patient. Keep scanning the longwave band every
night.   LW seems to have a lot of noise on
it, particularly in urban environments.  I use a DX-440 with a long wire
antenna -- which I disconnect when scanning frequencies below 560 kilohertz, or
at least turn the gain way down.

One of the big things to hear are NDB signals.  An NDB is a low power
beacon used for aircraft navigation, and there are quite a few of them
out there.  You can tell you have tuned one in when you hear its
morse code identifier.

Hope this helps.

 On most SW receivers, the input impedance isn't that critical, for
several reasons. Mainly, the sensitivity of modern receivers is so good
that they will bring in a signal so weak that it's still in the noise
floor, where you can't hear it. It's the antenna that will make the
difference.
Yet, most of the "lore" we "know" about antennas comes from HAMs, who are
more interested in how an antenna works when transmitting, and they
always figure that the same antenna will work the recprical on receive.
Not so.
HAMs want, in a transmitting antenna, optimal efficiency. This means
that, at the operating frequency, they want to get the most RF into the
air, and the least spent as heat.
When we SWLers use an antenna, we don't give a hoot about it works when
transmitting, because, as SWLers, we don't transmit. What we want is an
antenna that will work reasonably well at any frequency we are listening
to.
HAMs don't transmit over random length antennas much, but SWLers use them
all the time. A RL antenna will have a very hard time keeping a certain
impedance over the wide band of freqs we use, and no balun will fix that.
So, SWRs are designed to handle that.
So, within reason, use the HI-Q or LO-Q input depending on what kind of
antenna feed you are using, and don't worry about it.

Mostly smoke and mirrors, with a dash of snake oil. Especially when the
"balun" is mounted above ground, at the bend in an inverted-L antenna.

There is an important use for impedance-matching transformers (which are
often confused with "baluns"). When connecting a low-impedance feedline
(such as 50 or 75 phm coax) to an end-fed antenna (such as an
inverted-L),  the impedance mismatch can be so large that enough signal
strength is lost to limit reception on the frequency where the antenna is
halfwave-resonant. This happens only near the discrete half-wave resonant
frequency and integer multiples thereof. At all other frequencies, the
loss due to the impedance mismatch isn't worth worrying about.

If the half-wave resonance of your antenna falls near a frequency of
interest to you, a matching transformer can reduce the signal loss due to
the mismatch.  Install a 9:1 impedance matching transformer between the
coax and the end of the wire antenna. This will transform the 50 ohm coax
up to 450 ohms, which will be close enough to the impedance of an end-fed
wire antenna so that the power loss due to impedance mismatch is
negligible. You can use a matching transformer such as the RF Systems MLB,
the Palomar MLB, the ICE Beverage matching transformer, a Mini-Circuits
wideband 9:1 transformer, or a home-made transformer.

I do not believe that these transformers have any "noise-reducing"
properties. You reduce pickup of locally-generated RFI noise by using a
balanced twinlead or shielded coax feedline with proper grounding of the
coax to decouple the antenna currents on the outside of the coax  shield.
The strongest component of locally-generated RFI is the "near-field"
electrostatic or magnetic induction fields, rather than the "far-field"
electromagnetic field. The strength of the near-field falls off with the
third or fourth power of distance, so moving the antenna just a little bit
away from the source of the RFI is usually enough to eliminate the
interference.

The trick is to keep the feedline from acting as part of the antenna. For
coax feed, grounding the coax at both the antenna and the receiver ends
helps greatly, as does burying the coax or running it along the surface of
the ground.

For example, I use an inverted-L antenna directly connected to a 50-ohm
coax feedline at its base. The coax shield is connected to ground  rods
both at the base of the inverted-L and just before entering my house. The
antenna is located 50 feet away from my house. When the oil-burner lights
up, a portable receiver using its whip antenna in my basement shack gets
nothing but RFI from the spark igniter in the oil burner.  Using the
outside inverted-L antenna, there's not a trace of RFI.

Regards,
-Steve

Investigate the "maximum power transfer" theorem. The impedance match for
transferring power (watts) to an antenna is very important. If it were
that critical for reception, why does a simple long wire (choose
virtually any length, virtually any height) work so well?

I studied my buns off years ago to obtain an amateur extra-class license,
primarily so I could become an appliance operator (i.e., solid state rigs
with bells, whistles, and buttons that don't require electronic expertise
or knowledge -:)  Some of the information I absorbed I've retained - some
of it will be forgotten forever. However, I remember a friend of mine
helping me once with tuned circuits, antenna specs, etc. When I asked him
why something worked that theory said maybe shouldn't he replied, "That's
probably why it's called antenna *theory*."

Well, in keeping with my recent troubles with mail to Ascension Island :-),
I thought I'd throw another South Atlantic Island(TM) question your way...

I noticed in the _1995_ Passport that St.Helena does a broadcast once a year
around mid-October.   I think I've already missed the dates for it, and I
don't think I'd be able to pick it up in Boston with my setup anyhow, but I
was wondering why they do so around this time.  Any more info on this?

Thanks and happy DXing,
Dipesh

Well, the info is that there was *no* transmission in 1995, so you

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query.  The general consensus was:
        a) put "South Atlantic Ocean" on the bottom of the address and
        b) the US Postal Service are idiots.  :-)

What I ended up doing was sending a copy of the front to the Postmaster
General in D.C. complaining.  I then took the returned envelope and clearly
marked that it was addressed properly in accordance with their standards, gave
them the latitude and longitude of Ascension Island, and pointed out that they
should send it via the UK if they really don't know what they're doing.  :-)

I figure they'll get a kick out of it if it ever arrives.  :-)

Thanks again,
Dipesh

Yes I am refering to the 108 174 Mhz converter it cost a lot of many here.
By the way does anaybody use software like:

 Provides frequencies and DX program info for shortwave radio listeners.
The program databases update automatically at 15, 30, or 60 minute
intervals, thus providing a continuous display of broadcasts on-the-air at
any given time in a spreadsheet like format.  Features include sorting of
data, scanning, and on-screen changing of databases. The program will
convert Tom Sundstrom's dBase shorwave broadcast listing to FreqValet
format and will do the same for Shorwave Navigator users.  Separate cards
are provided for DX Programs, Ship to Shore, and Utility broadcasts.
Computer control modules are available at extra cost for the Drake R8,

I accessed the site yesterday (10/18) with Netscape, but it's 100% in
French, and of no apparent help to someone who only speaks and reads
'murican.  Maybe I'm missing something?

The site's there, though the access might be a bit slow.

And no, Tony, you're not missing anything.  It's in French, and it's supposed
to be--it's RFI's French News service.

The first lines after the RFI logo read:

"Since July 4, 1994, the Scientific Mission of the French Embassy to Washington
has transmitted the daily Press Review of Radio France International.

To receive this Press Review daily by e-mail for free, contact:

I have noticed that RCI's English broadcasts to North America seem to have
disapppeared from my radio.  Since the schedule that's posted on their Web
page only goes to September 23, I assume that there has been a schedule
change, if not a change in frequencies.

Anyone have or know where I can get a current schedule and frequency list?

Ask Don Ehland over in Jasper at Jasper Creosote about rhombics in South
Texas, or any thunderstorm prone area as well!  Plot a few on your handy
dandy MN program or whatever.  Pay CLOSE attention to the myriad of wild
stray lobes that go UPWARD from the thing in the vertical direction.

Then, since you and I are right in the heart of TRW country, I'm in Kurten,
Tx, not far from you, consider where you will be in all these absolutely
delightful thunderstorm passages!  As Don will confirm, everytime one of the
things gets within ten or twenty miles of you, the static hash wipes you
out on the lower bands with the rhombics.  They make beautiful transmitting
platforms and receiving deals if the site is quiet, but not necessarily any real
good receptor for very noisy locations.

They are formidable single path arrays for dedicated circuits, witness the ZS6
63 acre site of them in Irene, South Africa.  Dave will confirm that he spends
half his time chasing down power line and hash leaks all over creation to
keep them effective.  They really don't begin to shine well unless they are
more than 2 wave lengths on a leg.  Plus, they still have to be up at the one
wavelength height or so to bring the angles down.  That means 120-180 feet
up on 40 and 80 meters.  Dave's best signals into here come from the array
that is up at 150 feet that is 660 feet on a leg.

The best engineering treatment on them that I have is in the old JASIK
antenna bible.  I have the book, think I paid about $40 for it back in 1965
or so.  They are treated well enough for amateur design also in the W6SAI
Radio Handbook.

We have a local EE prof here that just put a 200 footer up at College Station.
Break me after bulletin at 3516Khz 0245GMT Sunday night and get info.

amplifiers about which there was a thread recently, but it hasn't really
helped.

Can anyone give me advice as to how to improve my reception?  In particular,
I've been wondering whether there's some way to use my building's roof
antenna (which is really intended for TV).

Also, Haverhills advertises an "antenna multiplier" which, they claim,
improves TV, AM, FM, and shortwave reception.  Does anyone have any
experience using this gadget with a shortwave?

I would be grateful for email responses, as I'm not a regular reader of this
group.

Thanks a lot,

Jordan Mann

 I thought I had a problem with my telescopic antenna and opened the box up to
take a look.  After closing the box and inserting the batteries, the keylock is
now stuck.  Is there some sort of reset procedure?  At this moment I am letting
it sit with no power to try to reset it.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Frank.

I have had this problem a few times. Actually, the first time I
unplugged it and tried to run it on batteries it acted strange, with odd
parts of the LCD display coming up and not turning on at all.  I was
pretty dismayed at this and was dreading having to send my new receiver
back for repairs!  But then I figured out that if you just leave it
without power until all the displays fade to nothing (perhaps longer),
then put batteries in and power up, it's fine.  I have no idea why the
set performs that way...                                  73, N1AEP

Larry,

Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine. I'm using the Radio Shack equivalent
of this radio. The beep is highly irritating because you can hear it throughout a
small house. And why they didn't make more memory available for more frequencies
is beyond me.

        My apologies in advance if I am inadvertently breaking
        this newsgroup's protocol, but this does seem to us in
        Calgary to be a life and death situation.

        A friend's brother left the Hebrides in late August
        with his girlfriend in a small sailboat, bound for
        the Canary Islands.  It was planned as a three-week
        trip.  Six weeks have now passed without hearing one
        word from them since they embarked.  They are amateur
        sailors.

        My friend knows the shortwave frequency her brother
        was using and the name of his boat.  Is there any way
        to ask an amateur ham operator to send the occasional
        message?  Interpol (or its coast guard equivalent)
        gave up yesterday after a week's search.

        Please respond outside of the newsgroup if you have any
        information that would help me.  Thank you.

I sure would like to know when somebody out there is going to develop a radio
with either a cutting edge breakthrough or once and for all make a radio that
addresses all the shortcomings that certain receivers are lacking.  There are
some of us where money is no object if we can just get a great radio!!  I've
probably spent thousands just trying different rigs over the course of twenty
years.  Ranging from hollow state to hybrid to solidstate.  Hopefully before I
die and take my Drake R7A, Collins R390 and 390A, and finally Hammurlund HQ180C
to the grave, these X-generation engineers will develop something we can
believe in!!!!!!

Ah, Signals!  I loved that show.  Yeah, I know people complained about
the goofy jingles, but I thought they were an entertaining counterpoint
to the technical material in between.  After a while I got a thrill
every time I heard the theme music to the Pirate and Clannie Report
welling up from the static.  (Gilbert & Sullivan opera music, I think.
They read the words one week.)  That surreal Kraftwerk song that
introduced the "listener mail" section!  The cool "bee-boop" sound they
put between the recorded messages!  I'll never forget the caller who
said he was listening to some kind of pirate radio marathon and went on
to name about twenty or thirty pirates he was allegedly hearing on
different frequencies.  It started out sounding reasonable, then went so
far beyond plausibility that I ended up rolling on the floor laughing.

   It took me a couple of weeks to realize that the show was permanently
defunct, and when I finally did I found that I had reused every one of
the time-shifting tapes I regularly made of the show.  (If anyone has
any tapes they'd be willing to copy for me, please contact me via
e-mail!)  I feel badly for customers who didn't get stuff they ordered,
but I only wish I'd sent them some money myself.  They deserved it for
the great program they were producing.  No program since has so captured
my interest and loyal listenership.

Madam President, I did not use the word "liar" - you did :-) However,
inasmuch as the phrasing of my message could have been construed that
way, I am happy to withdraw any implication that you are a liar. When
I am on line, I respond to statements, not personalities. Most of the
people who take part in this newsgroup are not known to me personally,
so I cannot possibly have any idea about their individual character
traits. But if I see a statement which I believe to be wrong, I say
so. That doesn't mean I don't accept it was made in good faith - I am
merely correcting what I believe to be an inexactitude. Some people
don't like being corrected - that's too bad. In my job, people correct
me dozens of times every day.

>He doesn't appear to think such detail is publicly inappropriate, since

Sure, I am quite happy for anyone to quote publicly from any message
thay have received from me and to comment thereon. I am also quite
happy for them to write or fax my boss, detailing what I have written
which has so offended them. I posted his mailing address and fax
number in the newsgroup a few days ago. Yesterday (Wednesday) I asked
him specifically to check whether any letters or faxes about me have
been received. As of yesterday, he said nothing had been received yet.
In case anyone missed it, I hereby repeat the information:

Glenn Heffernan

WRTH
Watson-Guptill Publications

New York

Fax: [phone]

Of course, it's possible that the person or persons concerned do not
read this newsgroup, in which case Diane will no doubt pass on this
information (for which many thanks). I am as intrigued as anyone to
discover just who this person or these persons are, whom I have
apparently offended. I cannot apologise (which I am happy to do) until
I know who it is, and what specificall I have done wrong. In the
meantime, I can, apparently, continue to be criticised in public
without being able to resolve the problem. This is indeed a very
friendly newsgroup :-)

I hope writing to them does some good, but I get the distinct feeling
that engineering at WEWN just doesn't care.  (Maybe I'm being unkind, and

        That's great that the UN says it's the greatest country

        just to ask the people who lived there.

Consider this folks: although I wouldn't bet on it, Ms. Clements
seems to me to be a plant - that is, a set-up to get people riled
about issues unrelated to shortwave listening.  Incidentally,
college students don't generally express themselves quite the way
these two posts do.

Nice try.

As for the likes of Ernst Zundel, there are a few like him everywhere but
on a per capita basis this is far less prevalent in Canada. In addition,
Canadian law prohibits the spread of hate literature.

I got my 2010 from Atlantic Ham Radio (Toronto) used. No problems.

Yes, they want around CAN$519 for a new one. (Pretty good for a new

This may have been cleared with the FCC, but does anyone know if the
FCC have in turn cleared it with the ITU ? Operating a broadcast
station on this frequency in North America does not comply with ormal
ITU regulations, so they presumably must have received special
permission to do this...

I'm hearing rock oldies on 1660 tonight (Wednesday) here in
Florida.  I presume that is WJDM in Elizabeth NJ.

I reported here about a week ago that I could hear religious
programming at night on 1630, but I could not identify the
station.  That station has not been heard in recent days.  I
presume it is not in the U. S.

Hi from NY:

Actually, navy watches are 4 hours long, so at 0700, its 3 hours
into the second watch, or six bells.

Pax et bonum!

Bob "A" (actually I was in Air Force ROTC, but I was the C/NCOICI
or Cadet Non Commissioned Officer in charge of Information, for
which reason I learned a lot of useless information, such as what
are the ranks in the Canadian Air Force (now Canadian
Forces/Forces Canadiennes), and more importantly didn't have to
march since I had a staff position!!!!

>Is their an internet site for the Sangean 803a FAQ?

  We maintain a few FAQs (including the one on the 803a) on the
Detroit Freenet -- but the version we have is from October 18, 1994.
Is there a more recent update?

  There are also FAQs for the Sony 2010/2001d, the GE Superradio, and
Scanner equipment available there.

  To get them, telnet to detroit.freenet.org, and log in as 'visitor'.
Follow the menus to the local "Special Interest Groups" (SIGs) and
enter the radio hobbyist area.  FAQs are located under menu choice
number 3.

  If you would like to participate in our local group, accounts on
the freenet are free (and sign-up information is available on line
at the same time you log in as a visitor)

  If you'd like more information on MARE -- e-mail us at the address
below and we'll fill you in.  ANYONE interested in radio is invited
to join, although are primary focus is on people living in the Great
Lakes area (does your State or Province touch a Great Lake?  If so, you're
in our primary area!)

Ground conductivity. Much of the Great Plains is 15 or even 30 millimho/meter
territory. Where you are, in the Northeast and New England, typical ground
conductivites range from 2 to 4 millimhos/meter. In other words, the ground
in the Midwest and Great Plains conducts electrical signals farther than it
does in the Northeast.

WNAX in particular also leverages its low dial position and excellent location
with a half-wave antenna, the tallest AM antenna in the country, according to
someone who posted the info to rec.radio.shortwave, what?, a year ago or so.

When I can null out WIBW, I can get WNAX, albeit with some noise, in my
midtown Kansas City location.

(By the way, WIBW, at 580 KHz with 5,000 watts, calls itself "The Voice of Kansas."
Except from 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm every weekday, of course! :-)

>  I'd think that 50kw clear channels such as KBOI in Boise,

Ummm...WOI only runs 5 KW. Though those five gallons do get out -- I can get
it here with no problem.

> or KSL in Salt Lake,

KSL is at 1160 KHz -- the higher you go on the AM dial, the less groundwave
coverage you get per watt.

In Columbia, Missouri (my hometown), KSD (550 KHz, 5 KW, DA-N) has a stronger
signal than KMOX (1120 KHz, 50 KW, dominant station on clear channel) for
precisely that reason.

How high up are they?    With only 5kw they must be a mile high.  Line
of sight in the day.  At night it won't matter.

I would like to chime in here.  The division of the population is the
issue.  Divided by egos that want to be told they are right all the
time.  THE FACT IS,  Americans are calling in to radio shows and
voicing their opinions as well as the FACTS by which they base these
opinions.  Documented evidence is what is being used to establish what
is fact from fiction or the truth from a lie.  Forget the arguments
about numbers and look at the facts!  And maybe then your ego's can
feel good all the time, because what you base your ideals on, will be
more than mere here say and conjecture.  Craig : )

I listen to People's Radio Network (PRN) where the TRUTH is in the
form of evidence.  Call [phone] for books and products.

It is possible that your antenna placement (and your house phone wiring
as well) had tuned into a harmonic of the AM station. You can try
re-locating the antenna or driving a deeper grounding rod, or creating a
a network of grounding points on different locations around the area.
Another but more involved measure might be to create an LC filter
specifically tuned to 1390KHz but this would likely cause undesirable
operation as well.

Hi...
Seems to me that Flourescent lighting would be a major problem in an
office
environment... Also, Concrete Block construction of office bldgs. would
contribute.
A "Select-A-Tenna" may not help.. (or it could) What will help, (and is
probably
impossible) is to install a long-wire (and i do mean long) antenna "high
and
in the clear" Orient the antenna in a horizontal plane, with the long
side facing the direction of the desired signal. GOOD LUCK!

I'm pretty much of a "lurker" here, as I am new to this particular
Newsgroup (but NOT new to SWL DXing I'm proud to say! <g>).  However,
I wanted to add to your post here, because I also was on the receiving
end of this spam.  The interesting thing, though, is I was not on the
receiving end due to posting on the rec.radio.shortwave group (as I've
never posted here).  Believe it or not, I ended up on the spam list
due to posting on the soc.culture.irish board!!!!  Quite a few of us
there received the National Alliance e-mail, and for the life of me I
couldn't figure out how they got MY e-mail address either.  You are
absolutely correct:  they lurk around on various newsgroups that they
think may be interested in their views.  Why in the world they think
the Irish would be beats me all to heck; maybe because they include
"Celtic Ancestry" as part of their confused weltenschaung!!!!

I have been following the "Saturday Night Roundup" of various
alternative political views on WWCR for several years now.  Although
not sympathetic to their views in any way, I always felt they were an
interesting group....given my personal SWL interest in Clandestine and
Pirate broadcasting.

Once and for all, let's please rid this newsgroup of any references to
the really TIRED "Left vs. Right--Liberal Vs. Conservative discussions
so dominant in the U.S. mindset now.  One reason I listen to SW and
avoid domestic (U.S.) media is this left vs. right debate--people who
only think in "black and white" seem to enjoy keeping this really
tiresome discussion alive in this USENET group, where it really doesn't
belong.  Keep it in a politically-oriented News group, not this one,
please.

Life is so much more than Left vs. right, and complaints that the media
is too left, or too right (amazing to hear both extreme arguments--make
up your minds people--actually the media is, like humanity, BOTH, and
everything in-between--surprise!!!)

Allright, with that said, could we all agree to keep tiresome and cheap
political "left vs. right" discussion OUT of this particular USENET
group, IGNORE low-brow spams like those from the NA, money grubber
types, etc. etc., and keep contentent to DX tips, listen skeds,
loggings, technical talk, and also try to keep the tone here more
upbeat?

Thanks for a generally nice Nx group, sans idiot political talk.

ditto... I also like the fact that the BBC's normal SW news is
NOT taylored for North America or the US.  I think the new service
will be aired on local AM/FM rather than SW.

Ref: Gosfield afraid of U.S Corporations..

Again we have this flow of anti-corporate, anti-conservative
"stuff" flowing from a highly enlightened  edu.cational institution.
Enough already...your detachment from the mid-stream U.S.
thinking is evident with each posting. Wake up..try to view the
world as it is! Not as you would prefer it!

The BBC has usually been fairly good at presenting the news
as it is...without embedding a liberal bent into it as part of the
news! Having listened since the late '30's I think I can pass
a reasoned judgement on the BBC.

So predictable from an .edu address...so predictable!

Canned, liberal-democrat flow...seen all over the UseNet!
Enough..enough..inability to recognize the realities of the
real world. Constant pounding by a  liberal staff has brainwashed
most of the undergrads at these instituitions...pity..

Now...please..let us get back to this great hobby of Shortwave!

Ref: BBC fairness..

The BBC has been fairly objective and reported the news over
the years without the overt embedding of a particulary philosophy
in the news. The "news" stands as news...philosophical opinion
is at a minimum. Not so in the mainstream U.S. news! A liberal-
democrat view of the universe is neatly woven into virtually
every news-tv-cast in the U.S... Opinion sometimes makes up
60% of the "News"...all delivered with a straight face.

Talk shows are another issue! These are optional and have
a stated philosophy or viewpoint..one knows what he is listening
to..he may find one that is more in line with his thinking..they're
not presented as "News". Not so with the mass-media...they can
represent themselves as "News" when in fact they are basically
a "mouthpiece" for a line of political philosophical thought!
This is the point being made by many of the "talk shows"...

There is a need for these shows...the U.S. audience, seemingly,
is not aware of this subtle interweaving of political philosophy
into the "News"...scary situation!

There is nothing "liberal" about the BBC...they tend to report
the News..thank goodness!

Leonard,
    Each of us would like to believe that our view of the world is
"mid-stream U.S. thinking." The U.S. is so diverse that there isn't any
such thing. There is no monolithic view, however comforting it might
be. I hear talk of a "revolution." When less than 18% of the voting
population cared enough to vote, I find it hard to believe there's any
kind of revolution, conservative or otherwise. My bet is that the next
election will throw this collection of bums out just like they did the
last.

    Frankly, that's what makes shortwave so fascinating. Every station
has a different view. Every commentator on every station has a
different view. I particularly enjoy listening to foreign commentators
wonder aloud what this "liberal vs. conservative" crud is all about.
I'm concerned that the VOA's funds will be cut so deeply that the only
shortwave representatives of the U.S. will be the religious fanatics
and the right-wing hate groups. That collection makes us appear to be
no more culturally advanced than the Ayatollahs in Iran.

Here in Florida the BBC at 15220 KHZ has been strong the
last couple of weeks. I can even get it with the receiver set
on local mode. Hope it lasts for a while, I love the BBC news.

                                                           22 October 1995

Hello,

         The plan for privatising the BBC Transmitter Department has  been
around  for  some  time.  The BBC has gone through quite a shake up in the
last couple of years.  Now each department of the BBC is a "business unit"
and  has  to  charge  other  BBC  departments  for  its services.  So, for
instance if I telephone the BBC Engineering Information Department from my
office  in  BBC  Nottingham  and  ask  them  to  send  me some transmitter
booklets, before they would just send them, now the  first  question  they
ask is, "what is your charge code"!

         BBC Transmission charge BBC radio and TV networks for transmitter
services.  In recent years they  have  taken  on  outside  work,  as  many
commercial  radio  companies,  both  in broadcasting and in cellular radio
etc..  have  their  transmitters  and  aerials  at  BBC  sites   and   BBC
Transmission are contracted to carry out maintenance.  So, in a sense they
are already a separate company, just as many large commercial corporations
have separate divisions who charge each other for their services.

         Thus,  the "sell-off" plan is not new.  What brought it to public
attention  was  a  rather  farcical  blunder.     A   confidential   draft
Communications Planning document was FAXed to a BBC executive staying at a
Blackpool hotel, but hotel staff wrongly delivered  it  to  the  political
editor  of  "The  People" a tabloid Sunday newspaper!  You can imagine the
result!

         The BBC Director General, John Birt, is quoted in ARIEL, the  BBC
staff newspaper as follows:-

         "It is vital that any new arrangement should deliver at least the
same quality of service and value for money as is currently  provided  and
we would oppose any terms that put that in jeopardy"

         The  article  in  ARIEL  goes  on to say that the document was an
early draft and had not been seen by senior management.    But  it  is  no
secret that they are considering privatisation.

         So, watch this space!

         Richard

Yeah, but Gene just doesn't cut it without the video.  On radio he sounds
just like 100 other crazed preachers.  On TV he had *style*.  In addition
to the SW outlets he also has/had a station on Anguilla, an island in the
Caribbean, an AM station on 1600 or 1610 or some such.  I tried but
couldn't get it in SF.  I'm told that people in Florida and such places
can get it with regularity.

By the way, did he ever pick up the old KGEI antenna or is it still
sitting in the parking lot?

I'm also looking for software (for a Mac). At present I use MS Excel with

Good luck with the search.

Regarding [e-mail] 's 10-17-95 message " Darke R8/R8A Audio: "


->I'm thinking about buying the new R8A. The unit itself is great, but
->every review I have read has said that the remote speaker by Drake is
->poor at best. Anyone out there care to comment? How about some opinions
->from R8 owners. What off-board speaker is everyone using?

I've got my R-8 hooked up to a Radio Shack Realistic Minimus-7 and it
has really improved the audio. Before adding it, I didn't even think
the tone control worked :)    The speaker is black and looks good sitting
next to my radio, too....

Jim



->Thanks

One used to be able to get the World Series on shortwave via AFRTS including
the Far Eastern Network in Japan. I wonder if anyone carries it on shortwave
any more--maybe the CBC low power outlets on 6160 kHz on the east and west
coasts.

I saw an ad for this radio in the J&R Music World catalog out of New York
City.  The radio sells for about $120.  I'm new to shortwave radio and
would like to know if this is a decent radio for a beginner with a tight
budget.  Thanks.

I don't know how small your pieces are, but it is possible to repair the
rods using super glue & a splint of some sort. For splints I have used
both pencils & wooden dowels. First glue the pieces together, then put the
splint on & rewrap it with electric tape. I have 3 of these loops, all of
which have had the ferrite repaired in this manner. I hope this helps.  73

I would agree with you on most of your observations. However, you seem to
have some trouble yourself:

1. intellegence is spelled INTELLIGENCE
2. geniune is spelled GENUINE

Learn how to spell before judging someone elses INTELLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I see another one of these on a newsgroup for asciiart ( FYI about 60
to 70 % of the postings in here have this for the subject header ) If I
see another one of these postings I am gonna go off.  Someones ass is
gonna be mine and everyone elses that I know that really thinks these suck.
Post them where they are relevant, needed, wanted, worth my time.

It's pretty egotistical of you to assume that other people are going to
think it's funny just because you do.  Normally, I wouldn't say that,
but, well...  the point is, it was about as funny as a plane crash.  It's
also kind of immature of you to insult people because they don't think
your jokes are funny.

Did GE make a SuperRadio II with tape?  If so, can you tell me the model
number.  Even better where can I buy one.

I recall a recent thread in which various formulae were given in order
to compute great circle distances.  Point your Web browser at
warpig.cati.csufresno.edu/cs150.html.

You won't need to worry about cosine etc here, as you can enter
information by means of lat/long, ICAO/IATA airport codes, or a
clickable map.

The distance will then be figured for you.  It's a nice tool.

Didn't Radio Nederlands once publish a BASIC version of this? I seem to
remember running it on my olde Commodore 64. Anyone want to post some of those

Grove has a great return policy...if you don't like what you bought and
it's still in like-new shape you can return it within 30 days of purchase
for a full refund (except shipping).  Be sure you call them for an RMA
number before you return anything for refund or you will pay a restocking
fee.  The reason I tell you this is, go ahead and get one and try it for
yourself, you can always return it if it's not what you expected.

The Grundig YB305 sells for around $129 in the USA and is a very
sensitive receiver on both MW and SW. It is only single conversion so if
you live in high signal areas (ie Europe) you may end up with images of
stations on top of other stations. Here in the USA at the moment (where
propagation isn't very good), it is absolutely wonderful. Plus, battery
life on 2 C cells is excellent. With a $70 Sony AN-102 indoor active antenna,
it is out of this world.

I visited the local ham shop seeking this very radio.  It's sold in
major outlets such as "Circuit City" and "Incredible Universe" for
around US$130.  It's the cheapest continuous SW receiver with direct
access.  However, there isn't a bandwidth selector or RF gain.  The
local ham dealer said it's great radio if you want to listen to three
stations at once and if the station is too strong (as some stations
are where I am in the Northeast US) you'll have to lower the antenna
because there's no RF gain!  Not only is the selectivity marginal, you
can't choose a narrower bandwidth.  I don't know if you can tune in
lower than 5kHz steps, which seems almost a necessity on a radio with
bad selectivity so you can avoid cross-channel interference.  I was
strongly steered toward the Sony-SW7600G if I really wanted a radio of
this size.  The Sangean ATS-606p was attractive, but the price is
dangerously close to the more attractive YB400 and Sony.

On the other hand, if you are looking at the YB-305 because of the
price in relation to its continuous SW band coverage and not on its
size alone, the excellent (but larger) Sangean ATS-818 is available
for around US$15 more and comes with an AC adapter, two bandwidths, RF
gain for the strong stations and great sound.  It's a plastic monster
that you probably won't take with you on a camping trip, but would fit
in nicely around the house or in the office.

You should be able to sell this great and rare receiver for between 500.00
to 600.00.  I would not go lower than $500.00 if in very good condition
and that includes the packing materials.  Good luck.

 I might have paid $600 for a new one in 1986. $500 for a used
one is too high. For $400 it might sell.  Rarity doesn't matter,
since the '650 was better rated.

Here here. I unfortuanately live in Honolulu and agree you will do okay
but be fighting RFI like any other city. The conditions should be
much better on the other islands and even the north shore of Oahu.

I do pretty well though because I live towards the mountains, a
fair distance from downtown Honolulu. I've tried AM DXing (MW) a few
times but didn't find anything - just used the builtin ferrite
antenna in my SONY 7600G. I wish I had ten million dollars
so I could buy a couple acres on one of the other islands. Then I'd
be wearing out the tuning knob on my R8.

I have a Sony 2010, with an indoors random wire.  This barely gives me the
reception of weak, distant broadcasts I am interested in.  I want to
upgrade to the most sensitive and noise free receiver.  Obviously with the
new receiver I would be able to use an outdoor dipole.  I am confused
among the following choices, with some reservations:

Kenwood 500, good price, great frequency of repair, but old technology,
lacks new goodies.
NRD 535, donÆt know frequency of repair, lacks new goodies.
NRD 535D, donÆt know frequency of repair, few hundred over my budget.
Drake R8A, donÆt know frequency of repair or reputation of the company.

Could some expert(s), sort out black and white from the gray, for me
please?  I want the most sensitive, least noisy receiver for tough Dx-ing,
with the best frequency of repair record!  The rest of the features and
fine audio is not important to me.   Thanks and regards:

Your problem is not the 2010, but the antenna. The 2010 is about
as sensitive as anything on the market, and laboratory sensitivity
is pretty irrelevant anyway if you have a decent antenna. Once the
receiver's noise floor is below the natural noise floor, no further
improvement of receiver sensitivity helps.

Above the 2010, the technical virtues you're paying for are not
sensitivity but rejection of interference (selectivity, dynamic
range) and audio clarity. These may be helpful in making weak
signals intelligible.

Put up a good antenna first, try the 2010 with it, and then think
about what virtues you really need. Don't expect miracles: the
2010's performance is not far from the best available.

I'm no 'expert', but I'll jump in anyway...
Frequency of repair stats only show what you can expect from the radio as
a *group*, not the one you get. (Many complain about the poor record of
the RS DX-390 - mine has been going for me for over 18 months, with nary a
problem, and I take it a lot of places; it gets banged around a lot.
Hmmm... maybe that's what they need...)
The NRD-535D is an excellent radio, price be damned. I wish I could aford
one.
I use an R-5000, and have been very happy with it.
The real question, though, is: why not simply determine which features you
want, and buy the radio that best matches your list? The repair records
for the 3 you mention are all pretty good, so it would seem that feature
selection would be at the top of your list.
Hope this helps a little.
Bill

There are several books that provide serious reviews of shortwave radios
that you might want to check out. I like the "Passport to World Band Radio"
published by International Broadcast Services" ISBN# 0-914941-35-6 (1994
edition, don't know 1995 #). Also provides more general advice on shortwave
reception. There is also the "World Radio & TV Handbook". I think both
provide good reviews and include some lab testing as well. I would also
agree with J. Doty about antenna rather than receiver. I have heard that
2010 is a great receiver and I almost bought one myself (settled instead on
Lowe HF-150). Passport to World Band Radio describes 2010 as "the Big
Enchilada for radiophiles" and "the best-performing travel-weight
portable", so you may already have a sufficiently good radio. I don't think
repair records is much of an issue with most of these receivers as they are
all solid-state.

p.s. why can't you use an outdoor dipole with 2010???

love to get commentary. Is Radio New Zealand accessible? Also the World
Cup is next year!

I am from England and want to know if I can get Premiership Football on
the radio.

How much would a good s/w radio cost and would I get good reception from
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

I would be grateful if you could reply as soon as possible.

The WRTH is due to be published at its normal time IE the end of the
Year, we in Europe should (deliveries permitting) be able to buy a copy
from around the end of January/early February.

That is unless there are some problems I am not aware of (Andy ??)

You know, what would be *great* (and also a mammoth project) would be for
a publication like WRTH or even Passport to have a web page that could
be updated continuously throughout the year as schedules change and radio
models go in and out of production.  Would also not cost nearly so much
to produce as a paper-printed version, and it could be made so that all
the important parts are "subscriber-only".  (I know this can be done because
my provider has areas on its web page that are for customers only.  If you
try to access the page from outside the system you must login with a
password.)

Has there been any thought of *that*? So many broadcasters are on the net
now anyways (BBC and RN come to mind, as well as VOA and Radio Prague)
that obtaining their current schedules ought to be a snap, and they can
be easily formatted for HTML and slid in to replace the old skeds.

Just a think.  Does it make sense?

There probably are problems, but if so I'm not aware of them either:-)
Everything is going well at this moment, but as a famous ex-British

RCI will carry live results of the Quebec
separation referendum on a special shortwave
broadcast.  Listen from 0100-0400 UTC Oct. 31 on
5910.  They also announced frequencies in other
bands but my cache memory was full and those bits
ran out my ears.

   Many receivers receive long wave with an internal loop antenna, and the
external antenna terminal is not connected to the MW-LW circuits.  Thus
the set is directional, and rotating the whole thing will affect the
strength of LW and MW signals.

Sure. The intensity of atmospheric and galactic noise increases with
decreasing frequency. At HF, unless the receiver is has an extraordinarily
poor noise figure, the noise floor is dominated by received noise,  rather
than internally-generated noise. The CCIR has extensive data on this; I
can look up a reference if you're really interested.

In many cases, the noise floor is even higher than the atmospheric and
galactic background noise. Many of todays appliances (cars, computers, TV
sets, microwave ovens, etc) emit copious amounts of broadband RFI. Many
people on this newsgroup can't even hear the thunderstorm static on 120
meters  :-) due to the large amounts of RFI in urban  and suburban
environments.

-Steve

I'm looking for a SW receiver project to build with my son. A kit like the
MFJ-8100 regenerative is the sort of thing I'm thinking of.

Does anyone have any experience, comments on this radio? Quality and
performance (assuming proper assembly)? The likelyhood of proper assembly
(given that I have decent abilities)?

Alternatively, I can be persuaded to home-brew  ;^)  if someone can point me
in the direction of some reliable, reproduceable SW receiver designs. I have
access to a number of the ARRL books, some Hayward and DeMaw books, and QST's
going back to the mid eighties. I'm prepared to do the research, but, being
busy, I'd appreciate any help in narrowing the search!

E-mail or posting to r.r.s appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lines: 20

A new Kurdish clandestine radio is on the air.  The schedule is:
0800-1100 and 1300-1600 GMT on 9855, 11985 and 15255 kHz.

At present it just seems to be testing with continuous Kurdish music.

We understand that the station will call itself Denge Medya, which means
Voice of the Medes. (Medes is an ancient name for the Kurdish people - the
Bible has references to the "Medes and the Persians".)

It is possible that this radio station is linked to MED-TV, a Kurdish
satellite TV station which broadcast to the Middle East from London.

The signal on 9855 kHz is good in the UK, suggesting that this is not a
traditional clandestine operation with amateur equipment but that it is
using high-power transmitters. Possibly hired transmitters in Russia?

DX-hound,

Look out for new top notch hf receiver due to be launched in the UK this
weekend by AOR-UK. Designed by John Thorpe the designer behind the Lowe range
of SW receivers.

Demo model due to go on show at Leicester Amateur Radio Show today.

Pricing supposedly VERY competitive with Lowe HF250 and Drake R8A.

You heard about here first - more info in next issue of Medium Wave News!

The AOR two page advert in the November issue of Short Wave Magazine
makes interesting reading too :-)

The receiver (AR7030) was designed by John Thorpe [formerly of Lowe
Electronics Production] and judging from the photo resembles your average
Hi-Fi separate unit.

An interesting spec. on paper, apparently it will be aimed at "the medium
priced market".

It will also be manufactured in the UK.

The other new AOR offering - the AR5000 seems to be aimed as a competitor
to the ICOM ICR7100 VHF/UHF communication receiver.

I look forward to hearing either (or both) units reviewed on Media
Network, once they become available.

Ray

Ray, that's what really caught my attention in the first place... the
radio was designed by John Thorpe. I suspect that the AOR AR7030
incorporates many of the features and performance capability that he
wasn't able to put into the HF-225 Europa because the Europa was a
modified radio, *not* a brand-new design from the ground up.

Cheers,

Guy

Hello

         Thanks  for  the  tip  about  the  new AoR receiver.  I saw it at
Leicester on Friday and  its  specification  DOES  look  very  impressive,
particularly  its  dynamic range figures.  I would love to get hold of one
and see how it performs on 7 MHz at night, that is the ultimate test!

         Although AoR are a Japanese company, they have a British offshoot
who have been selling AoR stuff for several years.  I gather that the chap
that designed the Lowe series of receivers that are manufactured  just  up
the  road  from here was "poached" by AoR.  He has designed the new AR7030
and it will be built in a former mill building in Belper.  (In fact I  can
see  that  building from here.)  The receiver looks like a winner and will
give the Lowe receivers, which have a high reputation,  a  run  for  their
money.    It is interesting that both are being made within a few miles of
me, both in former mill buildings on the River Derwent.  They will have to
re-name this area "Receiver Valley" if this goes on!

I heard the last 10 minutes or so of World of Radio Sat. at 1050 GMT on 5065.
At 1100, they announced that they were going to 7435. (I thought that 5065 and
7435 are different WWCR xmtrs.) So, presumably, after the U.S. goes back on
winter time, after next Saturday, this release will be on at 1130 on 7435.

Hi -

  The computer that I work on all day, most days, is located
inside a noisy computer center - big mainframes, raised floors,
and all that.

  There is NO AM reception, on FM I get one station poorly
from a local college ... say its less than 10 miles away and
its hard to get. Along the AM band there is all kinds of
Whirring and Skreee!ing noises from the hardware.

  Question: (obviously from someone who does not even
own a shortwave, yet) Are there some frequencies that I can
listen to in that environment ?

-P

Well, I'm not really a newbie at SW listening, but I have a
technical question maybe somebody can advise me on.

I want to listen regularly to the WEWN broadcasts out of
Birmingham, Alabama (7425 kHz and other frequencies).  I have
about a 20-year-old Panasonic RF-1150 with two SW bands, and
WEWN comes in pretty well here in Eastern Kansas.  What I'm
wondering is whether I should consider getting a more modern
receiver for better reception.  Digital tuning, for example,
really sounds cool.  But I'd only want to spend the money if
it's really going to improve reception, have less fading, etc.

Also I really don't want to put up an external antenna - don't
think the wife would care for the idea at all since she's a
lightening worry-wort (and we DO have frequent severe storms out
here).

Should I spring for a modern receiver?  And if so, what's a good
one?  I like Radio Shack products, but will consider any.  I
could spend a few hundred if it would really be worth it.  I'm
not much into DX listening, just WEWN.

Thanks for any help.

        Ken

   It would take too long to explain here, but the fact is that an
A(mplitude) M(odulated) signal is usually produced by varying the
amplitude of a carrier wave at an audio frequency rate (or other,
such as video frequency).  When the resulting wave is viewed in
the time domain it seems to be just that, a radio frequency wave
varying in amplitude (strength, power) as a function of time.
   Simple trigonometry shows, however, that the
signal viewed in the frequency domain appears to have a large
component at the carrier frequency and a set of mirror images
each side of it representing the subtraction and addition of the
modulating (usually audio) wave frequencies to the carrier.
wave.  This then is the same result as if we had referred to
the modulating signal as heterodyning the carrier.
   Another poster referred to the heterodyne frequency being
the difference between two signals.  It is also the sum.
   The regenerative receiver, when placed in oscillation to
make a continuous wave radiotelegraph signal audible, produced
a heterodyne between the receiver's oscillating detector and
the telegraph signal.  Thus Armstrong's modification of the
regenerative receiver, which he had invented, to make a
set like the ones we use now was a superheterodyne (as noted
above, a supersonic heterodyne).
    Sorry to be so long winded, but hope it helps.

when TWO or more frequencies mix = heterodyne    the result.

If you are listening to a station on 1000Khz

and a station appears on 1002Khz the  heterodyne is

2 Khz  or   2000 cycles/second

On the medium-wave band, all forms of hets are encountered
from the split frequencies...of off-shore stations
to the  sub-audible hets created by stations within a
few cycles of each other....typically < 1 Hz  to 5 Hz ...

The world must be about to end.  I was in a local bookstore and decided to go
disappoint myself by seeing the October BBC Worldwide on the magazine rack.
Lo and behold, the _November_ issue was there!  Over a week before the end of
the month!  This is incredible!  Have they finally gotten their act together?

I think I'll see if this astounding phenomenon continues for, say, three
months before I subscribe, though.  ;-)

PS What's this about BBC service specifically for the US?  I didn't receive
the original article...I for one wouldn't mind seeing the classic BBC balanced
news applied to US news.  Heck, I'd love to see them cover local (Boston)
news, but I don't think that's going to happen.  (I agree, though, that I
don't want to see them apply American media standards to their broadcast.
That would be rubbish. ;-)

I just got my Novemeber Monitoring Times yesterday. There is a good
article about p.c.'s and upgrading them. It is usefull information.
I use computers and radios and both together sometimes. To me computer
applications in radio are interesting. It's good to see MT have a Web
page and move forward in technolgy. This article is strictly about
p.c.'s and from my viewpoint off focus.  Maybe because I work with
computers and networks all day I want to go home and read about radios
to relax. Just my 2 cents worth.

I am fairly new to SWL and have used a cheap portable shortwave radio (a
DAK MR-101) for the past few months.  I have a chance to buy an old
Radio-Shack DX-160 radio that has been boxed up for several years for
$30.  The radio appears to work fine, but I am not sure I want to pay
$30  for a radio this old.  Can anyone tell me if this was a good radio,
and would it be worth the price?  I would greatly appreciate any e-mail
responses.  Please send them to [e-mail].  Thanks in advance.

   It's definately out. I saw it in a ham radio store recently. No, ALL
the data in the older edition isn't outdated by the way.

I think when they say "not out yet" they mean they haven't received
the latest CD Rom with the information they need to order one. A
little bit of effort is all that's needed, but these days nobody seems
to bother. Like every other title, Passport has an ISBN number which
is the only thing a bookstore should need to trace the informaion. The
ISBN number for Passport 96 is 0-914941-37-2. If you give them that,
there should be no excuse for not being able to get you one.

Quoting GYBQ35A from a message in rec.radio.shortwave
 GY[ A while back I posted a negative opinion about the Drake R-8 Audio. Now
 GY[ that I've messed with it for a bit, I take it all back!!
 GY[ Tuning the passband about 30 degrees or so left of center on an AM or
 GY[ shortwave station yeilds beautiful full fidelity without any "splatter"
 GY[ effect.
 GY[ I have it hooked to a 10"  Hallicrafters R-46 speaker which sound
 GY[GREAT! Seems that the whole trick is in the passband detuning and
 GY[decent speaker. Dead center passband sounds dull, and flatter than
 GY[most table radios (my original review).   PS -  I like the filters

Richard,

Yes the R8 has terrific audio and the PBT is an important fidelity tool.
Unfortunately, the more PBT you add...the harder it is for the Sync to hold
lock. Fortunately the Drake sounds really great when you manually tune ECSS.

I can JUST imagine what the R8A would sound like with a Sherwood Sync
detector!

A couple of notes from the International Broadcasting arena.

Radio Sofia Bulgaria has decided to use 7335khz for it's various language
 transmissions to North Amercia through midnight UTC.  Therefore, time
checks via CHU, Canada on this frequency are no longer an option.  CHU
remains on 3335 and 14670.

While doing some AM bandscanning Saturday, I noticed the BBC World
Service on 540AM as received here in Washington, D.C.  The station is
WWCS, Pittsburgh, PA, (7.5kw/500watts DA-2) and ID's itself as"The

Any of you R-390 buffs have an extra OA2 tube (good condition) in your
shack?  I am in need of such..  If you are willing to part with it please
let me know what the asking price is.  Or, if anyone can suggest a
suitable replacement configuration (breadboard) for that particular tube,
it would do just as good..

Mine, Electronic Assistance Corp #237 from the 1960 contract, with
meters and covers was $30 at a yardsale in San Diego.  The owner was
moving and thought the "old radio" was just too heavy to haul around.
It works just fine off a random wire or Alpha-Delta Sloper.  It is run
into a 600 ohm LS-474 speaker or used with headphones for SWL.

I've had to wrestle with some quality-control problems in Radio Shack
DX-390 radios.  After my initial review of this unit, folks have
written me email with their experiences with this unit.  It is a good
unit for pulling signals and the sound is very high fidelity with the
4" speaker, but the build quality and/or stock control of the Radio
Shack-distributed DX-390 models are lacking and the price is not
right.

The first unit had power problems that some folks had emailed to me
about.  Wouldn't you know it, but the machine doesn't realize you turn
it on about 50% of the time.  Back to the store.  At least I wasn't
the only one.

The second unit had someone's old batteries leaking all over the
inside.  Thanks, Radio Shack, for selling me used goods.  I always
appreciate getting battery acid all over my supposedly brand-new
radio.  This one was labelled "Realistic", showing its age.  Radio
Shack is phasing out the Realistic name which only leads me to believe
that this unit was actually the demo unit you see on the shelf at RS
that they replaced when the "Radio Shack" labelled units first became
available.  Unfortunately, the batteries didn't hold out long enough.
Silly me; I thought they gave me complementary batteries.

The third unit was okay, but the three-way fine/fast/lock switch
wasn't going to fine/fast mode properly and there were grease marks
under the clear display!!!  Apparently the tolerances for the circuit
board don't provide for effective positioning of the switch every time
and RS doesn't keep their stock from condensing.  After this I had
enough with Radio Shack.

I went over to the local ham shop.  They had ATS-818 radios at amazing
prices.  As many of you know, Sangean makes the ATS-818 which is
repackaged for Radio Shack as the Radio Shack (formerly Realistic)
DX-390.  This unit costs nearly $80 less than the Radio Shack unit and
comes with a matched and regulated power supply, saving you another
$20 over the Radio Shack unit!  It also has a better manual and a book
with frequency lists on SW (arguably easier to use than Passport if
you know the country you are looking for).  After hearing the ATS-818
with the Sangean-supplied power supply, you really become aware how
poor the Radio Shack AC adapters really are in avoiding RFI
interference.  Glancing at the 1996 Passport I saw the same comment
about Radio Shack's AC adapters and RFI on the DX-390/ATS-818!  It's a
small world, after all!

I almost bought a DX-375 on sale, but I remembered my experience with
the DX-390.  I think I'll buy another ATS-818 for the office while
it's still on sale!  Its price is competive with the nasty portable
YB-305, which has practically no features by comparison.

I still recommend the DX-390 on sale if you are into masochism and
like driving back to Radio Shack every three days.  I highly recommend
the Sangean ATS-818 if you can find it at a local shop.

I also purchased the DX-390, Its been really great especially with the
amplified antenna for SW, and pulls in all kinds of AM stations on AM from
all over the US! I had a diffrent brand for my 1st SW radio, I am very
happy with my SW reciever from Radio Shack!

Anyone know how this radio stacks up against a Sony 2010? Was in the
market for a Sony but this new Realistic "looks" pretty good.  Any one
have an opinion?

It's not out yet. I asked my local droid and he
says the target date is November 30th. So lets just
wait and see till it arrives and give th Shack
the benefit of the doubt.

Gerry, I've been around the SW scene for about 30 years, and I cannot
recall ever seeing that explanation before. It's fascinating to me,
because I can recall specific cases where I've been able to hear a
particular harmonic but not another, and I always wondered why. I
guess if I had become a radio ham I might have stumbled across that
before :-) Thanks for a very useful bit of info.

  Other reasons for some being sronger than others has to do with
the specific characteristics of the transmitting antenna and of the
tuned circuits in the final amplifier.  Also propagation!

I've seen these charts before, I believe some of the vendors of EMI/EMC
test gear or testing services put several out.  The AFSC (Air Force)
DH 1-4 on EMC has two smaller charts which are pretty good.  Some
interesting tidbits from one of them:

Freq   Effect

18GHz   When irradiated, wing and leg of chicken extends
10GHz   Ants align their antennae parallel to EM field
3 GHz   Bugs killed in bread

These charts are copyrighted by the IEEE, so you might try them.

I bought one from the Govt. Printing Office several years ago.  Only

Well it DOES pay to live in the country! I just like to use long

work too well on SW since I listen between 530khz & 30 mhz!

Very interesting to see comparison between phased loops and Beverages.
When you say 3-6dB better do you mean signal strength or signal-to-noise
ratio?

Intuitively (and maybe wrongly) I'd have expected a lower signal-to-noise
from a Beverage.

My own practical experience on MW with multiple beverages has found me
chasing signals into the receiver noise floor (noise figure = 10-12dB)
post local sunrise. All the reference material I've found indicates that
reception is limited by atmospheric noise (assuming a rural location and
minimal man-made noise).

I presume you use a phasing system that gives you a steerable beam with
your four loops? And I guess they are low impedance non-resonant designs?
 Are you using commercial loops or home made?

I don't know about a model ATS-818cs, but if its in the same case as
the ATS-818, your problem is probably that one of the keylock switches
on the motherboard (there are two) isn't aligned with the switch
housing on the case.  This radio has some close tolerances inside the
case.  The circuitboard switches have to sit inside the switch
housings on the right side of the unit.  Moving the circuitboard ever
so slightly can keep you from switching the smaller three-way switch
from fast/fine tune and/or from lock/fine tune.  I had to adjust it
three times before I got it right.

Try opening the unit and making sure these switches are mounted
correctly.  The smaller three-position fast/fine/lock tune switch is
very easy to screw up since its a smaller switch than the other
lock-only two-position switch.

Also, be careful that the battery terminal and antenna leaves are
contacting the solder pads when you reassemble.  They can become loose
if you open and close the unit alot!

If the lock still doesn't work then you may have zapped it with static
electricity which I hear can damage the unit.

Good luck,

Kris

Monte,

I fixed the beeping problem by removing the cover, not pugged in
of coarse, and then snipped the two wires leading the pizzo buzzer
and then remove the annoying thing forever. Had no use for any
beeping like that so I got rid of it - others may find it useful
for something - like annoying family members when they don't

More memory, i hear you. It's kind of like buying your first hard disk
thinking you'll never use all the space then next thing you know
your buying a new 2 gigabtye drive and still can't fit all your software
on it. My main receiver has 100 memory banks and it's still not enough.
Fortunately the control software allows for unlimited "memory" banks so
I managed to work around that annoyance too.

Interesting thread here.  My problem is, why does my set keep jumping up
in frequency all by itself, even without touching the buttons or the side
knob?  If I leave it alone, it will default at 29999 kHz.  I hate when it
happens.  Also, the time/frequency display window keeps shrinking.  And
no, I did not buy it through one of Art Bell's offers, hi.

                 Hi all,
                          I'm thinking of buying a portable shortwave
reciever. I am betwween these two at this point. I have read reviews, I
still need some hands on veiws to help me decide. My interest will be in
general listening and i would like to try some DX work.
                           If you can help me I would appreciate it.
                                                             Thank you,

Folks,

is there any WWW page which lets you (me) search for a certain program
type (say russian folk music) and then offers me all station names and
times for this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

There's a maritime Ham Band that broadcasts every day. It's on 20 meters. I think
it's around 14.310 or 14.325 or so. That's where I'd ask for folks help. Hams are
a good group. In this situation, you could count on a lot of help.

Good luck,

Monte Olsen

Maybe, my 7600G can only handle about 30' of wire antenna before
the front end starts to overload. I can pick up 10 Kw domestic
broadcasts from China here in Hawaii with my 7600G (on an average
to good night that is).

It's no ultimate DXing tool but it does a fine job for a portable.

The 7600 G not only adds synchronous detection to the older SW 7600 but
it also has a more precise tuning system that has the digital display in
1 KHz steps instead of the older Sw 7600's 5 KHz steps in the display.
The G also has finer tuning for SSB (not 1 KHz but .1 KHz).

I thought the general consensus was that they were Cubans broadcasting to
agents abroad, although to what extent Cuba, which can barely afford food, is
going to maintain a bunch of agents abroad after the end of the cold war--I
don't know. Maybe they want to spy on overly enthusiastic Miami Cubans.

Did anyone learn anything in Europe about say German numbers stations after
the fall of the DDR? Or are the BDR spy agencies keeping that stuff secret?

they hit with it seems ultra-high power (hits signal strength of 7 on my

ive never been able to hear it all. but can at least translate those #s

but for it being spanish and that im on the east coast its seems to be
orginating at an very high power from somewhere on the east coast

Re: the Spanish number station you heard.

I have heard an English number broadcast once, and what I think was a
French broadcast.  I have also heard an English LETTER broadcast once.  It
was ALWAYS a female computer voice. I will have to dig out my list (it has
been about a year since I had time for any heavy duty utility listening),
but one of the freqs was 6.745mhz.  With one exception (USB), all
transmisions were on AM.  There are a few books that have info on the
Number Stations.  One was "Militaty Monitoring", and another was "Shortwave
 Monitoring".  I could probally dig those up if you are REALLY interested.
 Let me know!

Numbers are broadcasted by several operators, perhaps also by Mossad, but
also by CIA,NSA,GRU etc. The very good books over this mystery has been
published by Tiara Publications. The latest one is "Secret Signals" by
Simon Mason. This is a good book even if You have not heard number stations
before. There is also a book named "Uno,Dos,Cuatro- A Guide to the Number Stations",
but I have not seen it myself.

There is also a club in UK, publishing a newsletter :" E.N.I.G.M.A"
("European Numbers Information Gathering and Monitoring Association").
In this publication You can find schedules, much logs and discussion over
this subject. If You have interest You can write enquire to Enigma,

Number stations are still going on, also in german language. Only few
stations seemed to be orginated from DDR. For example Swedish Rhapsody,
"two letter" germans, 000 ending can be heard weekly here in Finland.
A number of "Monitoring Times" magazine (94 or 95 ?, I have a copy
somewhere..) told that most of spanish number broadcasting are orginated
from USA, not Cuba.

This is a pointless request as there is no such thing as the universal
perfect radio for all circumstances. All receivers are compromises and
they all have strengths and weaknesses. As locations and requirements
vary, so do the receivers which best serve.
You know that saying that money can't buy everything ?  Well, the
ultimate, best-at-everything receiver is one of those things. Sad, but
that's how it is, just one of those harsh realities which life pokes
you in the eye with.

Just what shortcomings do you find in these receivers and in the current
crop (Lowe Europa, JRC NRD-525 and 535D, Drake R8, Icom R71, Kenwood
R5000, Watkins-Johnson HF1000)?

What kind of "cutting edge" breakthrough are you looking for - ease of
use, like automated off-air downloading of frequency schedules, or
performance?

The best of today's technology can offer somewhat better dynamic range
than the Drake R7 and R8's, R390A's, HQ180's, Lowe, NRD's, etc, and the
audio can certainly be improved on some, but most high-end receivers seem
to perform pretty well. The dynamic range issue may become moot as the
high-powered international broadcasters move to satellite. I don't think
there are any dramatic technical breakthroughs that will make it possible
to hear SW stations that one can't receive with the current crop of
receivers.

Perhaps the place where the most improvement in performance can be
achieved is in one's antenna system. Put up a 150 foot tower with a
rotatable 3 to 30 MHz log-periodic antenna on it, and you'll hear new
stations like never before. Unfortunately, the laws of physics prevent
any  major breakthroughs in this area. You'll always need a big and (with
the notable exception of the Beverage antenna) high antenna.

Ease of use could certainly be better for todays radios. In the
short-term, radio data systems (RDS) that download the current frequency
schedule into your radio will try to address this. This is also the
driving force behind the program feeds to local AM and FM stations. In the
end, ease of use considerations will probably drive most international
broadcasters to non-broadcast mediums like internet and the
"video-on-demand" cable systems.

I'm new to short wave, but I know of a person you would love talking
to.  His name is Chuck Harder.  He owns a station called People's
Radio Network.  Recently he and RL Drake came up with a short wave
radio made here in the USA as it should be.  I bet if you let him know
how you feel, he might be able to help you out.  Call [phone]
and tell them what's on your mind.  Craig : )

I have been having a hard time picking up shortwave recently....

Like many people...I have a computer in the same room....and it got me to
wondering...  Does the computer (or monitor) interfere with SWL?

If so...How far should they be from one another?
(Hopefully not *out* of the room!)

Thanks for your thoughts!

My computer sits next to my radio gear - and is connected to it through
the RS232 port, and game port for reading the signal strength.  And I
have no interference.

Things to consider for cohabitation:
(1) Hand pick the computer gear, even the monitor and keyboard which are
as or more likely to interfere.  Pick equipment which are FCC Class B or
MPRII or better with respect to emissions.  Test the equipment before you
buy it.
(2) Use external antennas with shielded cable.
(3) Ground your equipment, and make sure your equipment is well shielded,
and make sure the shielded cables are properly constructed.
(4) After you do all of the above, you can try things like ferrite cores
and other devices on the cables, but in my experience, if you cannot get
(1-3) done right, then ferrite devices won't help that much.  73

Unfortunately, you normally want the antenna far away from the noise
sources, with a good shielded lead-in or transmission line.

There are some alternatives, such as broadband local noise nulling devices,
but they are more expensive than moving the antenna (if you have the room).

Noise from computing equipment? Tell me about it! Even two rooms
away, the monitor of my computer makes a huge amount of noise even
though I have an external antenna with a shielded lead-in. However,
I once borrowed a colour notebook computer (486 DX2) and turned this
on right next to my radio (Drake R8A) and didn't hear any noise. I
suspect that those notebook screens don't really emit any noise plus
the chips (CPUs) they use are usually low voltage, thus further
reducing noise. If you can afford it I think such a laptop would be
the way to go.

My MAG MX-15FLR monitor sits about 2 inches (5 cm) from my radio
and does not cause any QRM.  My old Seiko monitor was almost as
good.

I suggest you should try another brand of monitor.  My two monitors
have full metal shields inside...possibly some of the cheaper ones
don't have this.

By the way, this is with a very good grounding system...without it I
get lots of QRM. How is your radio grounded???

Hmm--I've got a generic Tseng ET4000 VL-BUS but, before I got my VL-BUS 486, I
had an ISA 386 with a Trident 8900 board and things were just about as bad.
I've been looking at accelerated VGA cards (although I suppose my next
motherboard is going to use PCI so I'm not sure how much I want to spend on
VL boards) and I wonder which will generate the least interference.

are using IWAVE software, which means that you simply click on the
link to the sound and the it will begin playing *instantly* in
*real-time*.

The first instalment of 'The CONET Project On-Line' is a 100%
complete recording of the world famous 'Lincolnshire Poacher', which
was made on the 26th of October 1995, 1600GMT, 13.375usb.

This is an internet first, and in the upcoming weeks we will be
posting new recordings of recently transmitted Numbers Stations as
and when they appear.

The URL is:

Nice catch ! Foreign language broadcasts from Jakarta have not been logged very
often recently. A friend of mine checked during his stay in Indonesia, but
suspected they were off the air. I'm not sure if he also thought of checking
9525 kHz though.

>This might be a new frequnecy.

Yes and no. It seems a new one for the Voice, but not for RRI. A few weeks ago
I've logged the Jakarta program in Bahasa Indonesia on this frequency, during
local European afternoons.

  Soooo... by NOT allowing free speech and freedom of the press, Canada
ISN'T so tolerant after all!  I know, I know... the consequences of free
speech and press can be tough to take, but for a *really* tolerant place
like the USA, it's the only way to go.

  If you like living in Canada, great.  I like living in the
U.S.A.  I don't really care who or where the U.N. likes.

  I live in Raleigh, N.C. USA, which MONEY magazine rated the best place
to live in the USA a year ago.  Although that's nice, I thought is was
a great place to live prior to that ranking, and think it's still a
great place to live this year, even though it dropped from No. 1.  Those
types of rankings are pretty much irrelevant to me.

  Let's see... how, how, how to get this message back on topic.
OK... are the U.N. country rankings broadcast on any shortwave
stations?  Which ones?

I am an exchange student here and want to pick up particularly Indian
and England (and maybe Radio New Zealand/Australia) radio channels -
mainly for cricket and soccer commentary. Do any of you know what type
of s/w radio to buy and how much a decent one should cost? I have been
to Radioshack which only has 4 radios ranging from $50 to $220 but I
haven't bought any radio yet as I want to see how prices in other shops
compare. Do any of you know any could radio shops in the Pittsburgh area
or any catalogue stores? I really need a s/w radio urgently and would
appreciate it if you could help me out.

Excuse the non-SWL post but I've only heard about the Seychelle Islands in two
contexts and one is SWL'ing.

Anyway, there is a Make Money Fast/get a computer upgrade/pyramid scam around
the Usenet which involves calling this phone number which is in the Seychelle
Islands. (Some U.S. versions of this scam say "Canada", but they have the same
country code as FEBA and BBC Indian Ocean Relay Station.)

So, the question is--what is there about the Seychelle Islands that makes them
scam friendly? What is on the Seychelle Islands besides high power
transmitters?

I remember when the Beeb was saying that 7325 was for "The Atlantic Islands",
wherever they might be. And, of course, there are plenty of long-time users of
the tropical bands which are nowhere near the tropics--the former Soviet Union
and South Africa (are they still using them?) to name two.

It would seem that with all the utes that have gone to satellite in the past
few years there should be plenty of unused HF bandwidth even with the squeeze
caused by the perigee of the sunspot cycle.

It's article 342, and I'll leave the wording to the article itself.  :-)

It's a good question...and I have one more: why? Seems 90 meters is
usually quite noisy. I've noticed quite a bit of fading on 5.935 Mhz
latley, which perhaps they are trying to avoid. Comments from the
experts?

There is a consulting engineering firm in Washington that has been
very successful at obtaining out-of-band frequencies from the FCC for
its commercial clients.  Out of band operation on 3315 is not much
different from out-of-band operation on 7490, 5810, 5065 or any of the
other numerous frequencies used by USA commercial broadcasters.  I
think that the FCC assigns such frequencies based on the condition
that no interference is caused to the primary service.  It seems this
consulting firm has the FCC in its pocket and will continue this
practice until the legitimate users of these frequencies raise a
little hell with the FCC.

Unless the USA Department of Defense or some foreign government
complains, the allocations will stick.

WWCR announced tonight (OCT 26 UTC) that due to frequency conflicts
they are temporarly going back to 7435 while they resolve this
situation.

I wonder who was the complaining party?

There are several freeware/shareware programs out there. For DOS (which I
use), I would recommend a program called "NBSCOM", which has served me
well for the last few years. It automaticly adjusts your PC clock to the
correct time (though you may have to fiddle with the .INI file to adjust
for the proper time zone and DST date switchovers)....

I believe PC Magazine published a similar program for Windows 3.1 a year or
two ago. PC Magazine's utes should be available at ftp.coast.net/Simtel and
other Simtel mirrors and probably also garbo.uwasa.fi/pub/pc and imaybe
ftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/win3 and their mirrors not to mention Ziffnet on
Compuserve and Prodigy. Do an archie lookup or http://vsl.cnet.com lookup.

There are a number of Winsock clients which can set your time over the
Internet. They should be available from similar places.

It's not exactly the same signal, but US Naval Observatory time is
available at 1-900-410-TIME. I think the call costs 50 cents.

I do have a telephone number where you can access the WWV time signal with
a computer.  It even comps for the modem delay.  The number is
1-303-494-4774.  It will stay on-line for 1 min, and dump you off.

This seems true!  Perhaps it's because of "circuit noise" that
obscures weak signals (according to the Passport)?  In any case, you
can get three YB models in a few major US chains such as "Circuit
City".  This includes the small analog one with clock radio (sorry,
forgot the number), the new but rather poor performing YB305 and the
excellent YB400.  There are several mail-order houses within the US
where you can order the YB500, but I'd be nervous about carrying a
radio around that is that expensive.  Most places seem to steer you
towards the Sony 7600G because it has good selectivity and has
synchronous detection which can't be found even in the YB500, plus it
has typical Sony build quality.  To be honest, the Passport to World
Band Radio is overly generous towards the cheaper Grundigs, which are
not built in Germany anymore and suffer from variable build quality as
a result.  At least they told us to keep away from the YB305, which I
almost bought for the office at nearly the same price I paid for an
ATS-818 with more features and better sound.  Yow!

>I think, that there was only one importer, a high class speciality
>shop in New York City.,

I believe EEB, found in the various shortwave guides and the first few
pages in the monthly monitoring magazines, will obtain this for anyone
in the US.  They do mail-order and have quite an extensive collection
of radios in their walk-in shop in Vienna, VA.  You can walk in and
test anything from UHF and HF transceivers (if you hold the proper
license) to Sangean and Grundig shortwave receivers from the $140
Sangean to the more expensive tabletop rigs you've been drooling over
in the shortwave passport books.  I think I saw a YB500, but I can't
be sure.  Also, try "Incredible Universe" which is the only other
major marketter that carries more than one brand of shortwave radio
(they even have Panasonic shortwaves!  I challenge anyone to find
those elusive Panasonic shortwave radios anywhere!).

It wasn't 7250 or 7270. Turns out I actually heard it right. 17570 sounds
the same! My mind just doesn't comprehend the 16 meter band during solar
minimums!

But better still is to check Dan Ferguson's posting of the complete
schedule elsewhere in this newsgroup.

This is the little Radio Shack FM transmitter-receiver combination (that
uses the regular FM band) that was discussed in this
newsgroup about a year ago when Radio Shack discontinued it.

You may still be able to find it at Radio Shack "outlet stores." I found three
today at the outlet store in Independence, Missouri, for $6 each. The manager
explained that each area has one outlet store that gets all the closeouts.
So there may be other bargains lurking there (like the Dolby B, enhanced-bass,
auto-reverse cassette player for $25). Was hard for me NOT to spend money there.

but if anyone actually has any facts to debunk him... well go for it ! I
am all ears.
I find the show interesting in the sense I can hear ideas not presented by

Quite to the contrary!  For the major broadcasters I think you will find it
has the W-95 (i.e., Oct 95 - Mar 96) schedules as they were conjectured by
the broadcasters to be when PWBR went to press.  Final changes to schedules
are not made until the week before the start of a broadcast season -- and in
fact continue throughout the season.

If you need just to dial up something to hear yourself (not for your

1-900-410-TIME, I believe it is 50c/minute.

This is the US Naval Observatory, not the NBST.

Since you are in Maryland, get a Yacht Boy 400 made by Grundig
for the Shortwave radio. If you want to spoil him get a Sony 2010.
The 2010 has been the premium portable for 10 years.

Don't know much about telescopes, other than newtonian are

I suspect you have an old SuperRadio. Great unit. I've found on my SR-3
(the latest version) that I don't need an external antenna since the
built-in ferrite rod antenna is almost as goo, BUT has a great benefit: by
rotating the radio I can favor certain stations and "null" out undesired
stations. try it.
You might also want to join an AM DX club; there are two NAtional Tadio
Club (NRC) and/or IRCA(International Radio Club of America). Both publish
weekly mini-magazines during the DX season at about $25/yr. Very helpful.

You may have hit the nail on the head:the antenna may be bad; however, if
not, then the Sony might need to be fixed. However, of the upgraded radios
he's conidering, I'd go with the R-8A(latest version). A superb radio.

Sorry, I don't do BASIC.  Here's a snippet from an awk script that I
wrote to find all the FM broadcast stations within 200 km of my house.
This and some other goodies are available from my web page,
        http://www.access.digex.net/~kodis/

  # initialization -- sets up some constants.
  BEGIN {
    # compute pi and its variations.
    two_pi = 8 * atan2(1, 1);
    pi = 4 * atan2(1, 1);
    pi_2 = 2 * atan2(1, 1);

    # parameters used to tailor the operation of the program.
    circ = 40000;               # circumference of the earth, in kilometers.
                                # use circ = 24855 if you prefer miles.
    max_dist = 200;             # max distance for a station to be included.
                                # use max_dist = circ to include all stations.
    lat0 = dms2rad("n39:06:09");# latitude and longitude of my house,
    lon0 = dms2rad("w76:27:37");#  ... in [nsew]<deg>:<min>:<sec> notation.

    # nothing below here should require modification.
    sin_lat0 = sin(lat0);
    cos_lat0 = cos(lat0);       # sin and cos of my (or your) home latitude.
  }

  # dms2rad -- converts [nsew]<deg>:<min>:<sec> to radians.
  function dms2rad(dms,  s, f) {
    s = (substr(dms, 1, 1) ~ /[NnEe]/) * 2 - 1;
    split(dms, f, ":");
    return s * (substr(f[1], 2) + f[2]/60 + f[3]/60/60) * pi/180;
  }

  # asin -- computes the arc sin of an angle, because it is not built in.
  function asin(r) {
    return atan2(r/sqrt(1-r*r), 1);
  }

  # gcd -- computes the great circle distance from lat0,lon0 to lat,lon.
  function gcd(lat, lon,  a) {
    a = asin(sin_lat0 * sin(lat) + cos_lat0 * cos(lat) * cos(lon0-lon)) - pi_2;
    return (a<0) ? -circ * a / two_pi : circ * a / two_pi;
  }

The interesting part is the gcd function, which performs a somewhat
non-intuitive calculation to return the distance in km between
lat0,lon0 and lat1,lon1.  You should be able to adapt this readily to
whatever programing language you feel comfortable working in.

But, it was a 1989 WRTH listing though.  I don't exactly remember when
Gene was forced to shed his stations, but it was between 88 and 92.
I seem to recall the word "Faith" in all his entities... Faith Ministries,
Faith Center, etc.

(And I remember his battle way back in 1978...  watched it just to see
him bring out the spazzing monkeys representing the FCC.)

I too listen to RFA and Tom Valentine, but for only for the entertainment
value.  I personally have never heard him say anything out and out racist,
but I have heard him make many veiled racist comments pertaining to "the
Jew controlled media."   The 1996 PWBR (page 302-303), they have a little
blurb on him and his show:

"Opposes the "new world order" and the various activities of the
Bilderberg gathering, Trilateral Commision, U.S. Federal Reserve, Israeli
government and Anti-Defamation Leaugue of B'Nai B'Rith.  Expresses
occasional interest in unorthodox medical treatments and UFOs; but
primarily describes itself as populist, eschewing the rubric "antisemetic"
that is frequently attached to Liberty Lobby activities by the media.
Supports the political aspirations of such conservative figures as Pat
Buchanan, but also expresses skeptisism towards capitalism.  Keeps close
watch, with occasional live coverage, on seiges and other activites of
such law-enforcement agencies as the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms.  How far this program can go concerning issues related to
Israel, and still remain on the air, may be open to question.  For
example, on June 26, 1995, a caller named "Willis," obviously known to
host Tom Valentine ("Why, Willis, what a surprise!), and thus presumably
Liberty Lobby leader Willis Carto, stated that Israel is not a legitimate
country, "is a phony state," and that the American people have been
deceived about Israel by what was implied as inordinate Jewish influence
over the media.   At that point, "Radio Free America" was abruptly
replaced in mid-program by an NPR show on rebuilding old cars.  Whether
this switchover took place at WWCR or in the feed to the station was not
apparent."

(end of quote from PWBR)

By permitting "Willis" to drone on and on about how Israel is not a
legitimate state and how the media is controlled by Jewish folks, and how
the media is evil becuase it is "Jew-controlled" Valentine shows clearly
that he is a racist.

Valentine also shows his true ignorance by claiming that the press is
"Jew-controlled," when in fact this is mathematically impossible.
According to the World Almanac, In 1988, only 0.97% of the US population
was Jewish!  How anyone can beleive that a group consisting of less than
one percent of the population can control the entire news media?  That
means one Jewish person has to control news and information for 99 other
people, which is impossible.

I listen to Valentine's show on occasion becuase I find his poorly thought
out ideas and claims truely entertaining.  I never know what this guy is
going to say next.

As much as I disagree with him, he has every right to be on the airwaves,
and I would not support removing him from the airwaves.  This country was
founded partially on free speech, and free speech keeps this country
moving forward.  I too am very happy I can get the news from a variety of
sources, wether it be VOA, BBC, RCI, RFPI, RFA, etc...  Isn't variety what
shortwave is all about?

73,
Ben

Is this an accurate list of where, yesterday, they did not have Daylight
Savings Time in the U.S.? (50 states & DC)

1) Arizona except that the Navajos have it but the Hopis who they surround
don't. (At least the Navajo station on 660 kHz seems to observe DST.)

2) Alaska and Hawaii
3) Indiana except for the CST/CDT zone near Chicago.

Also, where does Windows 95 keep its database so that it knows to switch your
time? (It switched mine when I turned on my computer just now.) I assume it is
somewhere in the registry as the U.S. has switched the date in the past few
years so it would be stupid to hardcode it in.

                  Compiled by Myke Weiskopf, ([e-mail])

** NOTE: Being in college, I don't have as much time as I'd like to work
   on compiling this list, so it'll probably be a bit paltry until the
   summertime, when I'll go into 24-hour number logging overdrive. Also,
   stations that I was able to catch last fall when I was producing this
   list, are inaudible from this area of the country. Feel free to
   contribute. You will be credited via initials after each logging that
   you contribute.  In the interests of keeping an absolutely fresh list,
   and in order to maximize the utility of this list for number-chasers,
   all listings will last one week ONLY. Please resubmit if you hear a
   station every week, because they will not carry over unless re-logged.

   These stations were logged from Boston, Massachusetts. All dates are
   UTC, as are times.

   VOICE DESCRIPTIONS:

   "China Girl": This one has a pitch slightly higher than the Warrenton
                 Woman.  She pronounces Alpha "All-Pha", India "Een-Dya",
                 Papa "Poe-Pah", Quebec "Koo-Beck", etc.  I wasn't able
                 to catch the beginning of this transmission, but it
                 repeated with the announcement "End .. Of .. Message ..
                 Repeat .. Repeat .. Group .. XX .. [groups]" and ended
                 Xmission with "End .. Of .. Message .. End .. Of ..
                 Transmission."  Voice sounds like an odd hybrid of Chinese
                 and English accents. (?!)

   "Lazy Spaniard": A slightly tired-sounding Spanish voice, as if she'd
                    been drugged.  Medium pitch.  (If there's another name
                    for this announcer, please tell me, as I feel slightly
                    uncomfortable using this one.)

   "Squeaky Girl": A very high-pitched Spanish woman.  Tends to say
                   the numbers very fast.  In my experience, her
                   transmissions are usually pretty faint.

   "Warrenton Woman": The standard English voice that has been heard for
                      years. Slightly flat, rather droning.  Heard in
                      CIA transmissions.

REST ASSURED FELLOW DX'ers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     CFRX is up and running just fine.  Apparently the automatic legal-ID
relay that breaks the audio of CFRB off line so that the CFRX ID can be
heard did not return to the "rest" position and as a result...you heard 59:30
of dead silence every hour.  I would find it very unlikely that CFRN would ever
close CFRX/6070. After all, they invested tens of thousands of dollars to
install a new Harris SW-1 transmitter some years back.  This is the same type
of transmitter that has just been installed at CHNX/6130 in Halifax.  It has
been said that CFRX is one of the most enjoyed domestic outlets in the world
and I think CFRB realizes that.  If you recall in 1979, they were planning
to close CFRX due to its' aging transmitter and felt it unlikely that anyone
really cared.  A little article in a DX publication about CFRX solicited
nearly 1,000 responses (mine included !) to CFRB to NOT CLOSE CFRX.  They
relented and renewed the license and promised to keep CFRX on the air for
the life of the aging old transmitter.  Hopes were fortified in 1982 when
CFRB bought a NEW Harris transmitter, the same one you are now enjoying !
     I suggest to all concerned to send a leter of thanks to CFRX and
let them know how much you enjoy the station.  I am doing just that !

Has anyone heard what happened to VOA's budget
in the final budget votes/conference committee
in Congress?  If so, any info would be appreciated.

I understand that the World Radio Network is
starting a second satellite channel rebroadcasting
international  radio stations on G5/6 at 6.20
audio.  However, when I listened to them (for over
a half hour) this afternoon, they merely kept
replaying an announcement of how broadcasters
could get rebroadcast rights.  Does anyone have
a schedule for the station?  If (s)he could
post it or e-mail it to me, I'd appreciate it.

I've heard them during the day on (if I remember
correctly) 15420 khz.  They were also on at night
but I just ran across it by accident and didn't
note the frequency.  Why not drop them a line and
I'm sure they would be happy to provide the information?

If you can't rig an antenna, even the 5000 won't do you any good.

Be creative. I found the rain gutter on my apartment made a
fantastic antenna. It was two stories up and 70 feet long.

IF you are up several stories, drop a thin weighted wire down to second
story.

You might try running a wire around the entire circumferance of your
dorm, along wwhere the wall meets the roof. No one can see it there,
you will be surprised how invisibile it is.

Good Luck.

Officially no, but this months Short Wave Magazine carries an item about
the receiver and reckons it will be target ted at the "medium priced
sector" whilst an advert from Martin Lynch (a major London retailer) in
the same publication trails the AR7030 as "competing with the Lowe HF-150
and Yaesu FRG100".

I wonder if Proceedings analysed the ferrite core used un the RF Systems MLB.
Apparently the material composition is critical to performance. The ferrite
used is made to RF System's specification and is only available to them.

There are plenty of copies of the RF systems MLB around. Perhaps this accounts
for some of the price differential and certainly the performance.

In my experience, the AR3000A is an excellent VHF / UHF receiver. I use the
word receiver as opposed to scanner because many more modern handheld scanners
offer more memories and better manipulation and control of frequency
information. In terms of resolving what you tune it to however it is very good
above 50MHz.

The AR3000A is let down a little by performance on the HF bands, despite having
a number of passband filter stages. You'll notice this more if using it with a
longwire antenna. If you do suffer from overload, just take off the top cover
and switch off the HF pre-amplifier. This is usually on by default but unless
you are chasing weak stations, you'll not really need it.

This radio currently sells for just under 1000GBP today and if you wanted a top
of the range scanner its a good buy. However if you were buying it just because
it had shortwave coverage and that is what you wanted, it would be better to go
for a dedicated shortwave receiver and a handheld scanner.

I would like to know if any formulas or charts of antenna height vs
radiated power are publicly available.  I'm more interested in the
relationship on the FM broadcast band, but I'll settle for whatever
is out there.

What I'd really like would be an article describing some well
accepted, accurate model of the height vs power relationship, so that
I could derive the relationship for whatever frequency I'm interested
in.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Re: daylight-savings time in Arizona. The Navajo reservation is
the one that surrounds the Hopi reservation, not the other way
around, and the Navajos observe DST because the other portions
of their reservation in Utah and New Mexico are in DST areas, so
to keep consistent local time on the reservation the Arizona
part changes their clocks as well.

As for the time-zone setting in Windoze95, look in the Control
Panel for Date/Time Properties. You can see where there are
settings for each time zone and then there are some listings
for specific cities/states/areas - this is where the variances
are listed. Example the "GMT -7:00 (Arizona)". Now that Europe
is changing is definition of DST/"summer time" I hope there is
an easy fix for changing all the European settings on the Control
Panel.

   It appears that when the BBC posted the October WS Programmes
for America they had not yet decided to adjust for the onset of
Standard Time today.  They seem to have had second thoughts.
The current program seems to be the one for November, and is,
in GMT (UTC) terms an hour later than the one put out on the
WWW pages for October.  At 2330 UTC Sunday they broadcast
"In Praise of God".  I hope to find my favorite WriteOn at
0045 or 0145 on Monday UTC, but who knows?  It certainly wasn't
on at 2345 on Sunday!

>>A 5kW at 570 has pretty much the same coverage as a 10kW at 1500,

I believe you are under estimating the effect of
"the lower the freg. the better the signal"
charts I have seen state that 1000w at 540 would have a better
signal at a distance than 50kw at 1600
using a half wave ant.   A half wave at 1600 would be
much more practical than one at 540 .

Having once worked for a 500w daytime on 1550
I have first hand experience as to how that effect works.

Usually I cruise the international broadcast bands and don't pay much
attention to utility stations.  However, the other night I lingered
for a good hour or so on 5574 kHz, listening to commercial airliners
report their positions over the eastern Pacific.  I was struck by how
well some of these aircraft were being received, despite their distance.
Two questions came to mind:

 1. Approximately how many watts of output power do these airliners radiate
    at this frequency?

 2. Where on the fuselage do they place a reasonably efficient antenna
    to work 5574 kHz?

You are forgiven, but just this once.

That frequency is smack in the center of a band where "hard-core" dx'ers
listen for weak, local stations in Latin America, Africa, and Indonesia.
Those regions have used this band for years to provide radio broadcasting
into parts of their countries where broadcast-band signals and FM did not
penetrate (and still don't).

That domestic broadcaster, nominally broadcasting to Canada and Mexico,
is (nudge-nudge, wink-wink) actually using this frequency to improve its
coverage to the United States, an area to which it's nominally prohibited
from broadcasting.

That's what all the fuss is about.

While I am not aware of anywhere on the web you can find such information,
the National Radio Club offers the Night Pattern Book, which is a major
reference among true broadcast band DXers.

I wasn't familiar with the former host of VOA Communications World,

some international broadcasters occasionally sound more *American,*
so to speak, than the Americans.

Doubtless many MW and 160 meter fans are familar with the so called
Gray Line DX or Terminator between daylight and darkness.

I'd like to find shareware that will illustrate the Terminator for my
IBM Windows Clone. Does anyone know where this software can be downloaded
from? Or if someone could just email me the file, it would be a
big help! Thanks in advance.

As it says in the October BBC Worldwide, the BBC began
using their November schedule on 29 October to coincide
with the onset of standard time in the U.S.  I think
that the November schedules posted at the BBC web
site are now correct.  Write On can now be heard at
0145 GMT on Monday.

Hello,

I am planning on purchasing the ATLAS 400X "Little Giant" by Atlas
Radio down in San Diego and was wondering if you guys have any
comments about the unit and/or the company.

All comments and suggestions are appreciated in advance.

Thanx,

Dan, do you happen to know when the most recent issue was published ?
I have an old copy with a green cover which I think dates back to 1959
or so (It isn't here so I can't check). I guess there is a more recent
issue ? Seems to me I ought to have a copy, if only to ensure that VOA
is in full compliance :-)

Well, most of these stations hardly have enough money to operate their
domestic services properly. I suspect that sending out QSL cards to
foreign listeners comes pretty far down their list of priorities :-)

You probably get a lower tone with LSB.  This is normal.  If you tune an
actual LSB transmission and it sounds good and clear then your receiver is
OK.

I have the Radio Shack antenna.  It works OK along as you use an antenna
tuner with it.  I also use an Eavesdropper antenna, purchased several
years ago from Universal Shortwave, and it works quite well from 3 mhz up
through 30 mhz without an antenna tuner.  Rcvr is an Icom R71A.

Hi

How do I get shortwave access.  MY radio has only FM and Am, do I need
special radio? Also, I live in Boston, is it possible for me to get a radio
station in Chicago?

Thanks

1. I think they run somewhere in the 100-200 watt range, SSB.

2. Most newer jets have the antenna in the leading edge of the
vertical stabilizer -- the vertical "tail" piece.  It is usually
about 6 feet long by maybe 1 foot wide, curved and inset into the
stabilizer so it's hardly visible.  Fed with a tuner, it works OK
on many different HF frequencies.  Not really _efficient_ but very
effective for ionospheric propagation considering the altitude!

As the Official Program of the Reduction of U.S. International

these developments.

Nothing definitive as of now, but there might be a decision this

No More WOWO?????

WOWO was my introduction to Commercial AM DX'ing.

I can remember driving home from New Jersey to New York in the
early 70's, and I'd pick up WOWO out there, but as soon as I got
close to the George Washington Bridge (a pretty big waveguide)
I'd start picking up one of the local stations in new york (I
forget the WOWO frequency...but it was either 1130 or 1050).

I remember the time chex:  and it's now 8:30, 9:30 to our
listeners in Ohio and Michigan   (and New Jersey!!!!!)

A real blast from the past!!!!!

Peace

Hi

Last weekend I was listening on 40 Metres and heard a few
callsigns that were not listed in my Countries prefix List
(in the RSGB call book). I suspect that the competition
brought out a few of the more obscure countries!

Is an electronic version of the Countries prefix list available?
If so where is it?

The yearly Passport to World Band Radio is a great place to start. The
World Radio-TV Handbook also has an equipment review volume. Many of
WRTH's reviews are available on the web at:

http://www.rnw.nl/en/ernwhome.html

which is Radio Netherlands' page. Monitoring Times and Short Wave
Listening are two more frequent periodicals.

I've had great luck with Universal Radio (800-431-3939), and have heard
good things about Grove, Gilfer, and Electronic Equipment Bank. The first
two have 800 numbers you could ask the 800 directory for; the third is
located in Vienna, Virginia.

I don't remember the date of the latest one.  Sometime since 1959.

Thank you, Niel!!  I only caught the I.D. once, and as I said the
reception wasn't the greatest.  Unfortunately, my reception report
went out in the mail addressed to "Wood(?) City Radio."  Hope they're

Caught K.O.L.D. this evening --  UTC 10/31/95  on 6954.9 USB.  Sign on
at 0:44 UTC, sign off at 1:13 UTC.  Boomed in here in North Tonawanda,
New York with some occasional fading.  Receiver:  Grundig Satellit 500
with 100' Longwire.

Also caught another pirate just prior to K.O.L.D. B/C, but couldn't
get any I.D. on him because the voice was sooooooooo garbled.  In
fact, all I could catch was the music, which came in well -- about 15
minutes of polka!!!  It was brutal!  Now, don't be thrown off by my
Polish last name...it belongs to my husband!  <vbg> They were in
progress on 6954.7 USB on 10/31/95 at 0:14 UTC when I turned my
receiver on, and all I can say is they "went off the air" at 0:41 UTC
because if they signed off...well, I couldn't make it out!  Anybody
else catch this one?  I'd like to know if your reception was the same.

Dear Mark,
     I'm assuming you mean the A Index here?  Try WWV at 5000 kHz or
10,000 kHz, or 15,000 kHz, depending on what time of the day you're
using your receiver.  I've found 5000 kHz best at night; frequently
10,000 kHz or 15,000 kHz in the afternoon.

Cathy Zylka

Try Popular Communications and The Monitoring Times - they are both

shortwave and radio mail-order companies.  They should be available in any

Rick,

That antenna from C. Crane Co. is EXCELLENT and in my opinion is the only
way to go for the DC-777. When the radio first came out I was an early
purchaser, and I tried four or five different types of antennas seeking
the best shortwave performance. I even tried a 6-foot CB type whip
antenna with a separate tuner. The best results by far were with the
"Auto AM/FM Antenna" from C. Crane.

I let the C. Crane Company know that this particular antenna was super
for shortwave use in a vehicle with the (then new) DC-777. They got the
hint, and started advertising the antenna in their catalog for use with
the DC-777.

73, Guy

>------------------------------------------

There are several things to remember when computing the difference between the
low end of the Broadcast Band and the high end.  It is not just a straight
power vs. frequency thing.  Are you comparing 14 wave towers with 1/2 wave
towers?  Top loaded?  Paran?  How about ground systems and ground itself?
Swamps?  Tidal basins? Solid rock?  You cannot do a decent comparison unless
all things are fairly equal at the sites being compared.  Many stations at the
high end of the band are not able to put up the antenna system necessary to
let them compete favorable with their neighbors at the lower part of the band.
Many "Graveyard" stations will use elctrically short antenna deliberately for
an assortment of reasons, econoimics being of prime importance.  As far as
that goes, the Graveyarders  are not the only ones using "less than ideal"
antenna systems.  True, the lower frequencies tend to propagate better in the
local area.  I'm not sure what the ratio is between 550 KHz and 1550 KHz would
be.  But, I'll say that a good and well designed antenna system will serve as
an equalizer in many cases.  Notable would be KSRO in Santa Rosa, California
on 1350 KHz who gets out amazingly well for 5kw and KUMU Honolulu on 1500 KHz
with 10kw also a real distance getter on ground wave.

It's all in how it's done!

Dear Mark and Cathy,
     It appears Mark is in need of the 10 cm Solar Flux number.  This is a
solar emission which is proportional to the sunspot count.  WWV has this
info at 18 minutes past the hour on 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz.  WWVH has
this same info at 45 minutes past the hour, on the same freqs except 20
MHz.
     If Mark really needs the true sunspot count, it must be derived from
the Solar Flux number.  Unfortunately, I do not know the formula.  Anyone
with more information out there?

Mike:

I am interested in this topic.  Don't have a working oscilloscope yet (I
need to do some repair on it) but I do have a spectral analysis program
for my PC that can tell me plus or minus a few Hz the freq of the
heterodyne.

A few weeks ago, I measured a 4 kHz heterodyne on top of the BBC on
frequency 5975 kHz.  Does that mean that the offending station was
transmitting on 5979 kHz?

What is the old technique?  I am curious...

73,
Ben

We have had many fine submissions to The CONET Project, and
compilation has begun. We are planning to release the _Double_ CD in
February 1996.

The Last submissions for The CONET Project must arrive before
January 1st 1996 (unless you have some *REALLY*
signifigant/exceptional/old recordings)

In the meantime, you can web to our 'CONET Project On-Line' site at:

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

where we have set up an audio on demand presentation of a complete
recording of 'The Lincolnshire Poacher' for you to hear.
We welcome any and all feedback that you may care to give on the
audio site or the CD project.

  The G.E. Super radio is an AM/FM radio with EXCELLENT AM reception used
by most owners for AM DXing. It does a FINE job too! It's Audio on FM is

The BAND Is far from dead. If you had more than a crystal-radio
and a coat-hanger for a receiving antenna you would know that
the 90 meter bands is one of the most exciting, one of the
most alive, one of the most stimulating.. Along with the
120 and 60 meter bands, the tropicals are the most interesting
and challenging bands on the airwaves.

Perhaps you should stay where you belong : Deep in the
Heart of the  31 meter band with all your loud-mouthed
500KW buddies...

Give me a receiver that tunes from 2300-5200 Khz and I would be
perfectly happy...

Does anyone have a list of longwave beacons?  The only one I can
receive consistently (RS DX-390, internal antenna, north-central
Pennsylvania) is at 344, but on the evening of October 29th I was
surprised to hear beacons on 362 and 389 as well.  (Or thereabouts.
How does one tell if one is centered on one of these, anyway?
They're too weak to tell for sure from the sound.)

Also, is there any way to predict when longwave propagation will
be improved?  I hardly ever hear anything other than the 344 beacon,
and a few presumably-digital signals of some sort down around 1xx.

Well, if this isn't another charlatan preying on the fear and ignorance of
people.  The likes of this go back long in history, and with the same
result always.  They'll be exposed as frauds, and disgraced, eventually
left bitter and alone in their old age.
This kind has no faith in human nature, no idea of the resourcefulness of
Americans.  We need no gold, and no global economy to survive.  We
certainly do not need anybody trying to scare the hell out of listeners,
disclaimer or not, with a story about a collapse of the economy (which
cannot collapse, only shrink and grow.)
Begone, false prophet!

Does advertizing your own show count as 'commercial posting'?  And why
doesn't he know what's going on on his own show?
Wonder if he runs his gold coin company in the same loose way?

Hi, Grawrau,

The GE Superradio is basically just a very good quality,
affordable AM-FM radio. It is quite good for hearing
some of the more distant, weaker AM stations (within
reason, of course), and has a pretty good FM section as
well.  It also has a wide/narrow bandwidth selector for
AM, so that if a station is interfered with by a station
beside it, you could switch from the wide to the narrow
position and minimize the interference.

It doesn't give the kind of performance a $300-$1000 radio
offers, but if you're looking for an economical, solid
performer for listening to AM stations a few hundred miles
away, this could be the ticket.

Another plus is the large speaker for its cabinet size. It's
only mono, but it plays pretty loud. Nice audio all around.

The Rhombic is a great antenna, providing you have the real estate or
providing you want to use it at 100 mHz or higher.

The antenna pattern is squashed vertically which is generally good. It
has a relatively narrow in front and behind the antenna. It can be made
uni-directional by replacing the shorted connection between the two
sides opposite the feed with a 600 ohm resistor.

Its gain is somewhat proportional to the length of the sides. Should be
two wavelengths or greater. It is broadband. Characteristic impedence is
quite high 400-600 ohms, balanced. So you need a balun to feed a coax.

You can stack two rhomboids at a cost of its broadbanded response.

Well it costs more, The price of about 999 for the Bose is a rip off,
pure and simple. It is NOT that good.

What angle should such an antenna have relative to the direction of the
signal? Should it be level or can it slope? Does height matter very much?

Thanks,
