Mebbe a silly place to ask, but has anyone got any useful 'mods' for my
ancient RACAL RA17?

[2] Any schematics for very simply rx's, fm receivers etc?

This is bizarre as that station has drop out points all over the place
relatively nearby.  40 miles away for example in Worcester, MA, it can be
difficult to pick up indeed.  Of course, Boston is right on the Atlantic
Ocean, so any propagation over the ocean should make it to you easily.  WBZ
on 1030KHz though should come in relatively well too when you can hear WNRB.

I don't know about that. . ..about a year ago, I think I blew out
the transistor in my 2010 . . .It does MW fine, but SW is almost
useless above 10 mHz (my 17-year-old Panasonic RF2800 picks up
15 mhZ signals that are buried in the noise on the 2010!)

They never said they were on every day. I bet most pirates brocast AT MOST
once or twice a week, if that. Much more often, and they'd run
a greater risk of attracting the FCC.

The pirates probably use ham radio or homebrew transmitters, with powers
of under a kilowatt (most probaably run 100-500 watts or so), much less
than the minimum 50 kW of a major shortwave broadcasters. Antenna facilities
pale similarly when compared to those of "real" radio stations.

Yeah, but at least that's radio related (although I do agree, it's beating
a dead horse). What's going on now is childish character assassination
(e.g. calling the president a donkey u-no-what and comparing him to
Hitler.)

It has nothing to do with shortwave radio, so it shouldn't be here.

Also, when JM starts petty arguments with that fellow from "Disclosure"
(e.g."They pay me to be on the radio, but you have to pay for your show
ha-ha"), we should "lower the boom" on them, too.

Is that Russian using SSB/CW or AM? SSB and CW travel much better with
low power/long distances/local noise/all of the above, than AM

I'd imagine most of them use AM, at least because music sounds
terrible on SSB. (Some pirates have reportedly used SSB, though)

 I will start looking for a local LISTSERV address, probably at one of
the many colleges in my area. I too am weary of wading through the muck
for the few nuggets of real info.

I propose a new newsgroup [MODERATED] which will include nothing but the
following:

1. shortwave news
2. station schedules
3. shortwave loggings

It will NOT include:

* equipment topics
* antenna advice
* general info queries
* queries re station/program info
* program discussion
* newbie advice
* scanner topics
* advertisements of any kind
* political commentary
* flames

This has all, of course, been proposed and discussed before. However, our
ranks have now grown to the proportion that makes such a splinter group
necessary. With all due respect to newcomers and those whose shortwave
listening comes attached to a political agenda, I've been DXing since the
early 1960's, and only have time to read a handful of useful news/logging
messages, leaving the endless novice advice, "how to use your phone line
as antenna" articles, and demolition of eachothers' political beliefs to
those who enjoy that stuff.

What say, you guys (and gals)?

On New Year's Eve I was at my parent's vacation home, 65-70 miles NE of
New Orleans (specifically, between Picayune, MS and Bogalusa, LA).  I was
wanting to do some DXing on MW and SW.

The atmospheric conditions were quite bizarre that night.  On MW I would
conservatively estimate that 60 percent of the audible stations were
Spanish-speaking.  The U.S. stations kept fading out.  Trying to DX these
south of the border stations was impossible - my Spanish is horrible, and
I didn't have a copy of the WRTH (I'm waiting for my 1996 copy to arrive).

However, all was not lost.  I picked up something I hadn't heard before -
a "time" station (such as WWV on SW).  From 1815 local time throughout the
evening, I picked up this Spanish language station at 570 kHz.  There was
a clock ticking time, and at each minute a three-note chime would ring.  I
also picked up the station at, I believe, 790 kHz (WBBM, 780, became
audible briefly, and the time station was just to the right of that).
This signal was quite weak, and faded out after a few minutes.

Does anyone know the identity of these stations?  I was listening on a
SRIII, using only its internal antenna, no extra stuff.

Happy New Year and 73's

thanks very much for posting this information. While I can get it from the

I have a 1940s philco radio in a beautiful console. When I bought it at
the Raleigh flea market in 1975 it worked fine. More recently it has
stopped working although all the tubes are lit. I am aware that
electrolytic capacitors often are the components least resistant to the
ravages of time and would like to replace them, but how do I tell if
they are defective? thanks.

Glad to hear that the reception is good.  I was afraid that the city might
produce all sorts of QRM and make reception impossible.  Lots of people
including yourself love those R390A's.  I am on the lookout for one in
good shape to add to my collection.  (if you can call one set a
collection, ha ha)  Currently, my SX-24 is sitting aside waiting
recapping.  I know that the line bypass cap is bad and it has some frayed
insulation, so I am going to rebuild it from the ground up.  It was a gift
from my grandfather, and got me started listening to SW and got me
interested in tube electronics.

I am 22, and I love the old tube stuff.  Tube radios have soul, something
that you just cannot get in sand-state equipment.  Plus the sound is
wonderful.  Nothing like several watts of audio versus 300mW commonly
found in sand-state radios.  I too really love pulling up a chair and
using my imagination to follow what is going on.  Plus I have great
memories of going into my Grandfather's basement workshop and helping work
on the old tube stuff.  Haven't been to his workshop in a long time, and
am looking forward to going back now that I know what I am looking at as
far as tube electronics are concerned!

Currently I am on the lookout for several sets.  I am looking for a
Hallicrafters S-38A or B as a nice smaller radio, as well as keeping my
eyes out for something nice in a Hammarlund HQ or Super Pro and a National
HRO with all the coils would be nice too!  An R390A in very good shape
would be welcome too.

Thanks for writing!

73,
Ben

There is no prohibition stopping any US based SWBC station from
exchanging airtime with a foreign broadcaster - so relays via the USA
would be possible IF stations can find suitable partners.  (Target
Area must be:  North America - not the United States!)

You see this arrangement already in the WYFR and Voice of Free China
mutual relays.  VOFC gets excellent coverage in North and Central
America.   WYFR gets a relay to broadcast programs to South Asia.

Since that is a mix of private and government broadcasters,
precedence has already been set.  All the US SW broadcasters need is
satellite uplink/downlink capability to take care of the feeder
signals....

Wonder if any of them with think of this?

I am new to SW listening although I enjoyed it as a kid. I am looking
at the YB 400 vs. the DX390 as a beginning receiver.   I am located in
Colorado and am concerned with weak signal strength.  I am also
interested in sideband listening (live next to an airbase).  Any
opinions are appreciated.

I understand that the pirates probably use ham radio equipment and run
power under a kilowatt. I happen to have a ham station and understand a
little bit about propagation. One these pirate frequencies, running 100
watts using an inverted v antenna, he should be heard over most of the
country. I dont think all the loggings in MT are legit. Sorry to burst
your bubble but there are a lot of  folks that will say a lot of things
just to get their name in print in a magazine that has subscribers
worldwide. Of course, NONE of the folks that submit to MT would EVER do THAT!
When I can sit in my very noise ridden ham shack and hear some russian
running 10 watts using a vertical antenna, and I, using a ham/swl radio
and an inverted v, it really is hard to believe that it would be so hard
to hear a 1kw pirate. IMHO. B.

There was an article in either QST or MT magazine not long ago about a
metalic based paint, copper base i believe, that you could use on the
INSIDE of your monitor case to help eliminate some of the interference.
I dont see any reason you could not also paint the inside of your radio
equipment, seeing that most radios these days are not shielded very well
anyway.  Might check it out.  The stuff will put a dent in the pocket
book, so dont expect it to be inexpensive. 73. B

Rich Flood was aking about a loose antena on a YB 400.  I have the same
radio, purchased recently and have not had trouble with the antena (mine
seems to hold its position quite well.  You may want to tighten the screw
on the antena (not the one on the housing)

CIDC/103.5 Orangeville (north west of Toronto) id's as "Hot 103 Dot 5"

Most of these stations run very low power and are difficult to pick up
in North America. Also, they are on intermittent hours. You will just
have to check. I hear them early in the mornings or in the evenings.
You will not get them in the middle of the day!

Yes, it's a rapid vibrato wobble (several Hz) that decays very rapidly
(about 1/2 sec), but I have never noticed any effect from the speaker
on FM or AM, even though I sometimes baffle the speaker so that I can
get higher audio quality at higher sound levels. No audible problem
listening to loud Morse on SSB, or SSB or SYNC voice. Serial nr 16491.

Previous postings requested information on an external antenna for the
DX-390.  When I bought my 390, I also purchased the Realistic Amplified
Shortwave Antenna; it does a good job of amplifying weak signals, but
it also amplifies static.

I later when back to Radio Shack and picked up their external antenna
kit, which primarily consists of a long coil of copper wire, an
alligator clip to clip the end of the wire to your telescopic antenna,
and an insulating connector to attach the wire to the side of your
house.  If you have a couple of trees in the backyard to attach to, or
can devise some other means of suspending the wire overhead, it works
great.  The price was right, too (about ten bucks)!

Any good frequency / listening guides available online?

Thanks to all who responded re. the powerline noise I'm suffering here
(and I do mean SUFFERING). Right now the noise level is letting up a
bit as it is snowing outside. What exactly causes powerlines to cause
QRM? Since these lines are "owned" by a rural power company (which may
or may not have an RFI crew), what are my odds of getting them to fix
it? TNX in advance. 73s, Chris

Dear Shortwave Listener Friends,

A couple of weeks ago I offered a Database program of shortwave Stationss that
 was only a DEMO.

The program would only accept up to 100 records unfortunately.  If you would l
ike aa simuular

program that will accept an unlimited number of records and already has over
4,000 reocrds
included now, plreas respond to this message.

However, to register and keep track of who has received the programm I  reques
t that you  included
your full name and mailing address along with your request.  This information
will be kept]
confidential.

Hope to hear from you

Last weekend I heard this station on my clock radio by my bed... internal
ferrite antenna was all I had... Clear as a bell!!!!  I only listened for
a few minutes, and until now didn't realize who I was listening to.  I
heard them id once as "America's first expanded AM station..."

I would be in favour of a moderated Usenet group
(rec.radio.shortwave.moderated) which would be as you propose. I'm
tired of the comparisons of President Clinton to parts of animal
anatomy, the political stuff (very little interest to us not in
the US), and the spam (which often doesn't get cancelled fast enough
overseas to drop out of our servers).

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

My tuppence.

Michael,

First welcome to the hobby!  I think that you will enjoy the hobby.  Your
assumptions are very good and I would state accurate ones.  DX generally
means distance or distant.  Whilst DXing is the active pursuit of Distant,
or Weak or lesser heard stations.

There are several 'camps' or interests within the hobby:  Program
Listening (probably the most common), DXing (as explained above), Utility
monitoring (listening to non broadcast, or utility stations) with both
voice and data communication branches.

I would daresay that most people who regularly listen to the SW bands are
Program Listeners,  a smaller subset are DXer's and smaller still are the
"Ute" hunters.

Hope that this helps...

Chuck -- N9NON

I run a '92 Explorer and I simply place a Sony SW-1 on the dashboard with
the antenna pointing towards the center/passenger side of the car and
listen via ear-bud headphones.  Is there ignition noise?  Yeah but it's
not that bad.  I would like to put in a SW Converter (like the MFJ Unit
but I have not had the time to track one down.  I have also toyed around
with the idea of mounting a Sony AN-1 on a Mag Mount and running the cable
up front, but have been too busy to work much on it.

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

They have second half coverage from about 17.00hrs GMT, with constant updates
of
the latest scores. They cover the same games as national BBC radio 5, and,
unless things have changed, they don't announce much in advance what games
they're going to cover - due, I think, to restrictions placed by the FA. If yo

  It was in the February 95 issue of Monitoring Times.  There is an
small ad in almost every issue of Monitoring Times since then.  In the
Jan. 96 issue, the ad is in the "frequency section" in the center of
the magazine if I remember correctly.  The ad also tells about the
article in MT.

They are owned by the same company, though CIAO normally carries
programming in various languages (there is a Spanish music program
called "Latino Caliente" on now as I type this). CIAO just identified
itself as Hot AM 530.

Chris,
Here in Raleigh the local power company has a couple of guys who track
down powerline nose complaints. They've always helped me out. It may
be that your local power company has the same thing.

Obviously the best solution would be to get the power company to fix
it, but if that's not possible, you might look at the ANC-4 from JPS
Communications, Inc. It connects between your antenna and receiver,
and does a great job reducing locally generated noise. You can read
about it at http://emporium.turnpike.net/J/JPS/jps.html
or email [e-mail] for more info.

Good luck with the noise,

I have a 200 foot longwire in the backyard. My last SW radio had an
antenna tuner built-in. I just picked up a Drake R8.Can anyone
recommend an external longwire antenna tuner? I saw one for
$90 from MSJ in QST a while back. Comments?

Thanks

I have a CTX monitor and a shortwave receiver HF-150

I want to control my shortwave receiver with my computer, but
i have many interference from my monitor.

This monitor has no MPR-II specificatie because the monitor is
about six years old.

Are there some solutions to eliminate this interference.

Thanks

The flex cable in the hinge of my sw100 started failing at 11 months.
Symptoms were flickering and turning off of display as the hinged top was
closed  and the main power (green) ON/OFF switch not working with the radio
closed - i.e. power could not be shut off with the radio playing but closed.

Sent it in to Sony repair in Massachusetts; they sent it back 3 weeks later
UNCHANGED!  I had them pick it up at their expense for (hopefully) a final
repair.

Another thing I worry about in the future - how long will the tiny tabs on the

battery compartment hold out?

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

I am conducting a major research project into international broadcasting as
part of a university course on communications management.  I'm focusing in
particular on the role of shortwave in international broadcasting and what
future it has compared with other delivery methods, including local
rebroadcasts, satellite, cable etc.

I'm canvassing the broadcasters themselves - I'm also keen to hear from the
'consumers' - perhaps you could consider the following, and mail me:
* why listen to international broadcasts?
* what are the advantages/disadvantages of shortwave
* how do you receive international broadcasts: shortwave, satellite, cable ...
?
* will you still be listening to international broadcasts in five, ten years
time?
* which international broadcasters are doing it right/which aren't, and why?

Additional comments are welcome.  The plan is for the final project report to
be available by August-September this year.

I look forward to getting your views!

Yes, indeed...TWR Swaziland has an English program up until 0400 on this
frequency, and gives an English ID at 0400 before switching to Somali.

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

Chris, I used to have this radio for years before I gave it to my
father.  I really liked it and think that in its class (portables) this
is one of the best. Couple things I did not like, however:

    1. When bandscanning the reception mutes: this was REALLY
    frustrating;

    2. There is no LSB or USB: combined in one BFO;

    3. Sensitivity is worse than the one of any tabletop (what else
    can one expect for the money?)

    4. It does not have number of other things tabletops have but I did
    not need very much at the beginning.

To conclude, with a good antenna (long and high enough random wire)
this was a good receiver for me.

P.S. Now I have R-5000: not really a 1000 miles away from DX-390
though.

Good luck and Happy New Year.

Dear Michael!

According to Shortwave Listener's Handbook (by Hank Bennett and Co) "it
is simply a radio abbreviation meaning long distance. ... The generally
accepted, but unwritten, rule in the hobby is that nearly anyone can be
an SWL, but it takes practice, and experience to become a DXer".

Well, hope it helps. Alles gut, Mike Grossman, E. Bridgewater, Mass.

in China, sort of no-name brand) that can convert to the range of between
3V - 12V that costs CND $10.00.

Which one should I buy ? Anyone has experience with this Universal adaptor ?

I used to live in a small town in southern Alberta over 10 years ago and
inquired about just that.

The following occurred.  The Department of Communications inspector came
out and checked only to find that a power line transformer about a block
away was producing massive amounts of RFI and that the fluorescent lights
from the seniors home just across the street was doing much the same. (The
transformer problem apparently could be fixed.  I don't recall if it ever
was.)

But I was given to understand that since I lived outside of a major urban
area, little else could be done to reduce the background RFI.  The
quality of the power was not as good as what one could get in a city, so
I was largely out of luck.

Things might be different south of the border.

        FIRST EXPANDED-BAND STATION OFF TO CLEAR START

              Broadcasting and Cable, Jan. 1, 1996

The nation's first expanded-band AM station, WJDM Elizabeth, N. J., is
expected to increase its programing to 24 hours by mid-January.

WJDM, which debuted an adult contemporary music mix weeknights on its
new 1660 khz frequency in early December (it had been at 1530), was
the first of hundreds of AM stations awaiting an FCC assignment for
an expanded-band frequency.  Owner and president John Quinn says the
station's 1 kw signal has been heard from Maine to Maryland.

But Quinn has been tight-lipped about what type of programing he will
choose as a 24-hour format.  "I can't tell you what it is, but it's
going to be something this area has never had before and something it
desperately needs," he says.

Quinn serves as chairman of the National Association of Broadcasters
committee for the expanded AM band and says that WJDM met certain
criteria that qualified the station for preferential treatment from
the FCC.  Specifically, WJDM broadcasts to a community of at least
100,000 that had no nighttime service on a clear-channel AM.

Quinn contends that he may continue broadcasting music on 1660
because the "signal sounds tremendous." He estimates there are 290
million radios in circulation nationwide equipped to receive an
expanded-AM-band signal.

"This is the best thing the FCC has done for AM in years and we're
setting an example of what can happen when you have good spacing
between stations," Quinn says. "People didn't realize how good these
signals can sound."

From 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. weekdays, WJDM 1660 simulcasts its sister 1530
signal, which is leased-time to a religious broadcaster. At 6-10 p. m.
weeknights, WJDM broadcasts music. On weekends, the station
simulcasts special-interest shows with 1530 during the day and at
6-10 p. m.

In a lazy attempt to put up an indoor antenna, I ran it in an overhead
air return duct.  (No, It's a wooden duct, no metal!)  The thought
comes to mind that the airflow over the exposed copper wire could
cause some static electricity buildup.  What kind of diodes should one
use to best shunt buildup?  (Zener, what voltage?  1N914?  1N4001?
don't do it at all?)

TIA,

I received a Grove catalog Tuesday, dated January 1-February 29. They
get $350 minus a nickle which I think is fairly typical of ads I have

I had a S-53A but I already traded it.  I DO have a National SW-54 little
table rcvr that I would prob. trade if it was of interest.  It's similar in
capability to the S-53A.  It looks good but I am not sure if it is working
properly or not.

My '100 goes WoWoWooWooo if I bump it. The solution is not to bump
it.

The PLL also hunts a bit, perhaps +-10 Hz at a rate of a few Hz.
This is not a microphonic effect, since it even happens when
listening with headphones. To my ears this doesn't materially affect
'100s SSB clarity, which is almost as good as my Drake R8 in most
cases. Results with different ears may vary. I've heard this drives
some folks crazy.

The hunting makes listening to music in ECSS (AM tuned in SSB) mode
pretty ridiculous, even if you're lucky enough to have the carrier
close enough to one of the 100 Hz steps. Fortunately, the synchronous
mode works so well I hardly miss having ECSS.

I haven't noticed any acoustical feedback. My '100 seems most
susceptible to vibration at sub-audio frequencies, which its tiny
speaker cannot reproduce.

Yes, a few feet of wire connected to an alligator clip is
essential for shortwave listening while traveling.  If you
do not have luck connecting the antenna to a wall plate
in the hotel room, placing the wire next to the window may
be the next best solution.  I use masking tape to press the
wire right up next to the window.  This provides much better
results than just dangling the wire near the window.

I agree we need fewer commentaries and more loggings in this newsgroup, so
here are my first real loggings in about four years.  I just got my R5000
back after a long stay in the Kenwood hospital, and have a brand-spanking
new long-wire antenna hidden in my attic where my landlord can't see it.
A couple of humble submissions from my local New Years Eve here in
northern Columbus, Ohio:

0034-0157 UTC  4985.00 kHz  La Voz del Rio Arauca, Colombia.  Lots of
Latin party music with M DJ, frequent TCs and IDs as "La Voz del Rio
Arauca presenta Rumba RCN."  Also lots of mentions of "Colombia y
Venezuela" (Arauca is on the border with Venezuela).  At 0100 UTC, time
pips(!) about 30 seconds fast, then more party music with live crowd in
the background.

0342-0500 UTC  5040.42 kHz  La Voz de Yopal, Colombia.  Another RCN outlet
partying hearty, with lots of live music and DJ hype.  This DJ was
_really_ enthused.  After 0400 or so, broke into the music nearly every
minute with an update on the time.  Occasional IDs thrown in, spoken
rapidly, as "La Voz de Yopal, RCN," and lots of mentions of "Colombia" and
"Colombiano."  I'm glad this DJ was prone to shouting, fair level at best
with a nasty high-pitched het.  At 0452, DJ shouted "Cinco minutos, cinco
minutos!" (their clock was obviously three minutes fast!) then counted
down the minutes till 0457, when the crowd and the DJ broke into cheers
and shouting.  Followed by the Colombian NA, then the party continued.
Sounded like a real good time!  My first log of this one, for some odd
reason an elusive catch for me.

Forgive me if this is common knowledge as I have very recently re-entered
the world of DXing, but can anyone ID a station I heard this morning (Jan
1) between 0300 and 0400 EST on 530 AM playing dance/club music and IDing
as Hot 103 dot 5?

Thanks
Scott

I am just about ready to pick up a 2010 and would like to know what is
different about the ones made today.  I owned one about 4 years ago
and am assuming (I know, I know!) that Sony has made changes and
modifications for the better!  Anyone know what I should be expecting
now compared to 4 years ago?

Also, is there any resource on the Web (WWW, ftp, etc) that contains
info related to mods and other stuff on the ICF-2010?

Lastly, what mailing lists (Listserv and the like) are available for
the 2010?

Thanks for helping a returning SWLer!!!

73,
  Larry NX2V

yes,  I do have one (old and not a digital one); there are some
companies Grundig and others 'which I think have such a radio.
If you are a sw frick like me try to by the sony100s which is small
enough to be attached somewere in your car and then use a dx magnetic
antena. The new developments  I am looking for is :1.walkmen with sw
(digital scale), 2. recordable car tape  3.recordable walkmen with sw.

As a general rule antennas don't act as amplifiers.  Your receiver does
the amplification after your antenna captures the incoming signal.  I am
using a long wire out my apartment window about 60 feet long or so.  It just
hangs down side of building.  I have been SWL since 1938 and Ham call sign
is W0MM-U.S. Signal Corps New Guinea, 1944, 1945.

A few ideas:

1) Make sure all connections between computer, monitor, and other peripherals
are securely fastened.

2) Coil excess slack in all cables (monitor, power, mouse, modem, speakers, et
c.),
and secure with tie wrap. This will reduce radiation/reradiation. Mice seem to
 be
especially 'noisy.'

3) Use ferrite chokes on the the monitor data cable. You might want to try a
choke at both the monitor and computer. Radio Shack sells both a transformer
variety (coil around) and a snap-on. Put one on the mouse cable near the
PC port.

4) Locate the radio as far away from the computer/monitor as practical.

5) Try to put the radio on a separate power circuit (different breaker). Use R
FI
(radio frequency interference) filtered outlet strips with surge suppresion fo
r
both computer and radio.

6) Use a coax cable from your radio to antenna, and use good grounding
techniques. Keep the coax and antenna as far from the computer and
monitor as possible.

7) Make sure brighteness and contrast controls are set to reasonable levels.
It's conceivable that a monitor driven 'full on' might be more prone to genera
te
RFI.

8) Make sure the computer case is securely fastened with all screws down
tight, and make sure that slot covers are in place.


Good luck.

Maybe your heads need alignment.  Try going to Radio Shack for repairs, since
Sangean makes the Radio Shack DX-392, which is identical to your radio except
for the name.

As I recall, Universal Radio in Ohio does factory-authorized repairs for
Sangean products.

Hope this helps!

It means that they were using amplitude modulation (some pirates use single
sideband), and their signal was quite strong.  I can't say whether you'd
hear them or not, since pirates don't use a lot of power, but perhaps you
might hear them or another pirate around 6955, which is a frequency that a
lot of pirates are using lately.  Good luck!

I hadn't heard about that happening!  When I heard other airings, they had

I am in Northern Utah and have heard them from time to time.
I heard more this year on Xmas eve than on New Years eve.
Stations heard were, for the most part weak and most of the time could
not tell what was going on.  Did make recordings.  Heard them on 6955
and 6960.  Last year and the year before were much better than this
year.

Good Luck!  73, Mark

them a reception report if I only had their address. My letter was returned

 Marc,  I've also got a NIR-12.  I'm using mine with a NRD-535D for utility
listening.  Keep in mind that the headphone jack is for stereo phones.  To use

with mono phones you need to add in line a stereo to mono adapter.  I find
that it reduces the noice.  It has taken me awhile to learn how to use it.
The digital warbling is an artifact of how the unit works.  It takes getting
used to.  I find it very helpful at times, somewhat helpful at other times,
sometimes its a toss up and finally at times it adds noice.  Finally, keep in
mind that you are adding a "box" into the chain.  That "box" reduces the
energy reaching the headphones.  The unit includes a 3 watt amp (I think).  It

helps bring the volume up.  I got a pair of Kenwood phones (the HS-5s) and
they work quite well.  Mike Wolfson.

Last night at 00:30 - 01:00 on 7155, I was listening to a station called
Radio Svoboda.  They were doing a show about Frank Sinatra & were playing
several of his songs.  I'm not sure what language they were speaking in,
possibly Russian or some Slavic type language.  They mentioned Radio
Svoboda several times, but I never could understand where they were
broadcasting from.  Thanks for any info.

Richard,
Thanks, this was the first time I've heard Radio Svoboda & I was surprised
how much I could understand this program.  Makes sense now since the U.S.
owns it.

Ray,
Thanks, that would make sense, I thought they used a little too much
English (example song titles) for a Russian or Slavic station.

   Hello everyone.

     I am extremely new to shortwave listening and I have a couple of
questions.

     1)   I have a RS DX-375 and for some reason I am unable to tune in
frequencies between 6250 and 7100. Is there a reason? Can it be rectified?
This talk about 6955 got me interested and I was disappointed at my
inability to get this.

     2)   Is reception different on the open ocean than in the city?
Currently I am based in Cincinnati, Ohio, But I work on a cruise ship 10
months of the year. Can I pick up different stations in different places?
My itinerary includes Acapulco, Costa Rica, Panama, Santo Domingo, St.
Thomas, San Juan, Aruba and Curacao until May, when it changes to
Vancouver, Juneau, Honolulu, Kauai, Maui, and Hilo and Kona. I bought this
radio to kill many long hours at sea with nothing to do (I am a musician)
and I would like to get the most out of my listening while at sea. Any
interesting observations?

     Thank you for reading,

       John Perdiue
        Cincinnati

BZZZT! Wrong answer. This community has no LOCAL service. Those are NEW YORK
stations which couldn't care less about the area their towers are in.


>WHAT! you can practically see the towers of a number of 50KW clears
>from their sight.

SO? But these 50K clears can be heard down here in SC. They don't give ME
any local service any more than they give to Elizabeth.


 Who pulled what strings?

No one.

>P.S the one KW signal is practically inaudible in queens new york
>with a JRC rec. and a 135 foot wire!

SO? This station is licensed to Elizabteth NJ, not Queens. Sure at the
present I can hear WJDM down here in South Carolina, and it does not give me
any "local service" either.

That part of New Jersey does not have any LOCAL service, in other words a
station programming TO the New Jersey area there.

It also seems that Rock Hill / Chester / York SC is close to being in that
boat as TWO stations (one is now WBT-FM licensed to Chester SC but
simulcasting WBT AM because their DA pattern wont go 15 miles west at night)
and the 1150 in Rock Hill is simulcasting a Charlotte religious station)
That leaves NO loca radio service for all of Chester County and most of
York county, except for the tiny range WBKZ on 980 has with it's night time
flea power and the graveyard station on 1340 in Rock Hill you might be lucky
to hear almost 10 miles.

Actually supposedly they tried local stuff and they nearly went broke. They
are doing a lot of brokering to stay ON. It seems those 50,000 watt clear
channels have combinations of stuff (IF frequencies and the like) that cause
interference on 1530. Something to do most likely with the adddition /
subtraction of the 455 IF frequencies and multiples of the other stations.
In other words that frequency should not have been assigned in that area.

I'm not sure what you mean by CW mode. I tried SSB and Sync, and I
got a little flutter on each, but nothing that would bother me. I
carry mine in my hand as I walk, and as it takes quite a whack to get
it to wobble, I have no complaints.

Accepted, but that doesn't alter the fact that 648 does (or at least
did) carry French language output at times.

Perhaps they should carry English Dutch and German on BBC 648 ..?

I'm looking to buy a decent SW Receiver, in the $200 or so price range.
I'm looking for something just to use in the house, with a roof mounted
antenna, preferably with a digital tuner. Is something like that possible?
 Right now I have a Sony ICF-7601 analog receiver which doesn't get the
most spectacular of reception. And where is a good place to purchase a SW
radio by mail-order, or in the San Bernardino, CA area. (Are Radio Shack
products any good?)  Stan

The swivel inside the casing is loose. Anyone know how hard it is to
tighten this myself. I would hate to open up the radio if it cant be
tightened.

Don't forget the simple fact that 648kHz doesn't cover France at all
well - it is beamed more or less east fom Orfordness, and puts a good
signal into the Netherlands and Northern Germany.

Radio Svoboda = Radio Liberty. US Government owns and funds it,
indirectly. Uses transmitters in Germany, Portugal and other places.
Head office is in NY, day to day operations in Prague I think.

True! Elizabeth is just outside Newark, which is just outside New York

I have had an ICF-7600 for about 5 years.  I consider it to be
useful indoors (or with any indoor antenna) only for the strongest
signals (the BBC on a good day).  Otherwise an outdoor external
antenna of some type is a necessity.  I don't know the sensitivity
of this radio, but I've had better.  This opinion is from both home
use (in central California) and in hotels in various cities.
Your best bet is to find the best indoor antenna and then get the
BBC schedule and find the freq./time with the strongest signal.  But
the times you can listen will probably be limited.
Also, windows facing North and West is a disadvantage, since there
aren't too many stations in that direction.
The radio as sold came with an external antenna plug, with screws to
attach to a external antenna.  If you no longer have this, you might
be able to get it from Sony.  Its not listed specifically in the
service manual, but it may be part number X-3329-657-1.  Check with
the Sony Consumer Service Center (in San Jose).  I had very little
luck with the supplied reel antenna.

Good luck!

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

You should monitor this newsgroup for logs of pirate activity, as the
info in MT is quite dated by the time I receive mine.

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

J&R Music World has them in the store (after I nagged them for 3 months
when it came out) and I'm pretty sure it's in their mail order catalog ...

The Westwood MA service center was probably crucial in my decision to dump
my SW-55.

It was sent there by the local Sony center. My complaints were an
intermittent BFO (pressure on the cabinet made it come back on)
and the BFO "pulling" that has been described on this and several
other Sony models.

It was returned with the BFO no longer intermittent, and still unstable.
The front of the case was scratched, and the inside surface of the massive
LCD bezel was imprinted with a huge palm print. Inside the box was a Hi8
videocassette bearing a return address label of someone in Boston.

It was between the 2nd and 3rd trips to Sony that I bought my HF-150.

It was after my adamant, insulting phone call from a Sony customer rep
that I sold the radio.



PS: Considering the plethora of reports of on cable failures in the 2
years the SW-100 is on the market, don't you think it's high time Larry
Magne printed something about it in Passport? Marie Lamb, are you
listening?

I really feel for you! I have had the same problem in this area for
over 25 years!! This is an older neighborhood, and the power company
will do nothing about it. It is not just one pole-it's dozens of
them!! My line noise on 75 meters is always at least 20-30 over S-9.
The ONLY time the noise level drops is when it rains! Often, I will
take a day of vacation when it rains so I can get in some swl/utility
monitoring.
I wrote the  FCC, PSC, to try to get help-to no avail.
The best advice I can give you is to take a small portable AM radio,
walk thru the neighbohood, shake some guy wire or hit a pole with a
sledge hammer to try to find the one that makes a difference in noise
levels. You WILL get some strange looks as you do this!! :)

Good Luck!!
Steve

existing audio system and also it only costs around $40.

Has anyone tried one of these???

Many years ago (late '60s) that frequency was owned by radio station WMEX
which had a late-night talk show (Steve Fredericks?) which would get occasiona
l callers from The Republic of Ireland. The host requested an explanation from
 the engineering staff for why the station was able to be received from across
 the Atlantic when it was so weak only a few miles away. (I believe the nightt
ime power was ~1000 watts and that that limit still exists.) The explanation h
e received was that the transmitting antenna was directional and that it was p
ointed to the northeast.  Following the Great Circle this would direct the sig
nal to the area of Western Europe and the British Isles. I wonder if this isn'
t the case today? I live about 25 miles north of Boston where the transmitter
is located and I cannot receive that station after dark on the best of nights
even with my GE Superadio!! Far from being a powerful station at all it is one
 of the weaker in the area!!

Bob, I've had a 2010 for about three years, and love it.  I have 100' random
wire antenna.  I listen primarily to marine bands.  For the first time, I
heard Bermuda Harbor Radio this evening, hailing a vessel.  And on 4 megs.

Besides drying out and changing value, the dialectric can become
compromised and the capacitor can short out.  Capacitors should be an
open circuit for DC.

Here in the Boston area, its available from "Service Merchandise" catalog
showroom stores, and from Radio Shack.  Price about $30 from either source.

Its a pretty mediocre FM stereo unit, but yes, it really does receive AM
stereo, and the effect is interesting.  Comes with really lousy headphones.

There was a thread on this newsgroup a long while back about cannibalizing
the SRF-42 for its Sony AM-stereo chip, and some ideas about using it to
build a sync detector for shortwave.  Does anyone remember this, and if
you have any of the technical details, I'd love to see them.

  Move the shortwave reciever as far away from the computer as possible.

First I'd like to point out to anyone wanting to do this that the phone
lines have anywhere from 48 - 90 v AC power on them for ring cycles. Also
there is apporximatley 9 v DC for what we in the telephone industry call
"Talk Battery". I don't know about the yellow wire being a ground as
well. It is usually used along with the black wire in residential phones
for your second phone line.

Second I'd be careful cause you never know when you might get a surge not
only durring lightning storms but also could happen at any time as well.


Third what would the phone company do IF they found your radio equipment
attached to a system that is not designed for this interface ? would they
blame any local problems on this connection? I would think so. Would they
contact the FCC ? I'd bet they would.

I'd play it safe & just build OR purchase the correct Antenna system for
my radios.

Mine is off 2KHz. Radio Shack said it was "in spec" when they returned

take it back to the Shack.

The neatest small shortwave I've ever seen is made by Phillips. This
thing is the size of a pack of cigarettes, maybe a tad smaller and has
AM/FM/SW (AM-30KHZ).  The unit has an all digital tuner and a world
map LCD thich shows the time zone you are currently in. It also has an
alarm. Plugging headphones in gives FM stereo.

I liked this unit so much I bought one at Harrods in London. I cherish
it cause of its small size.

Regards,
David

I like the idea of being rid of the immature postings and spams as
well as the political statements that are best posted elsewhere. However
I like a self-policing group just for the same reason I like shortwave.
Shortwave carries ideas of every type and you can hear them all or
not hear them all...the choice is yours.  If you don't want to hear the
National Alliance or RFPI you just tune to a more moderate station or
one or the other of the stations mentioned if that is your taste.
The same is true of a newsgroup.  The best way to rid ourselves of
the spams and criticisms of what is on shortwave,etc is to not answer
these
posters.  They will soon go away when they can't get an answer.  And
that
is better than policing the newsgroup.   But I like the general concept.
I have been quite surprised that SW buffs should be so offended by what
they hear on the radio.  It is that freedom of broadcasting that makes
SW special.

I wonder if it isn't in trouble. I haven't seen the December or January
issue on any news stand in the San Francisco area. I've seen problems
from all over the world posted here. Glen Hauser got his January issue
on I think 12/19 but it had very few articles in an issue where you'd
think it would have a lot of articles. You can get the schedules from
their web page, of course. (http://www.bbcnc.org.uk/worldservice)

This was the last of the Transoceanics & was made from 1979 to 1982. It
is easily identified by the two tuning meters (signal strength and
centering) on the right side of the front panel.

Am also interested in any Military Zeniths (R520 and R-520A).

ABC's Nathan Thomas reported today the mobile studio is now operating
from Tuzla.  His report included a brief aircheck of the programming -
primarily hard rock music - and the ID, "AFN-Bosnia, Voice of the Balkans.'

Station is being staffed by "two miliary disc jockeys," one Army, one Navy.

Although a little far afield for SWLs, this question might be appropriate
for Hams:

We have a problem.  Our church sound system picks up a local AM radio
station (about 1500 kHz).  Although this interference is loudest when
using an electrostatic microphone, it is present with dynamic
(non-preamplified) mics.  It is even present with the mic cables (all of
them).

Can anyone suggest schematics for an RF filter to insert in the mic cable.
 The cables are unbalanced -- three conductor, or rather two inner wires
with one connected to the coax shield at one end only (to avoid a
ground-loop).

If no schematics, is there a commercial RF filter available?

Please e-mail to [e-mail] -- Thanks in advance.

As a broadcast engineer, I've dealt with situations like this and
my best recommendation is find somebody knowledgeable locally to
help you.  Have you tried asking the station for help?  A local
ham group?

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

I am thinking about buying a new receiver.  The AOR 3030 has a lot of
good features at much less than other shortwave radios. What experience
do folks have with the AOR 3030 and how does it compare to a Lowe 150
or Drake R8A?  Are they any reviews out on the net for the AOR 3030.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The acronym is CPRV.  I *think* it stands for "Committee to Preserve Radio
Verifications", but I don't have a copy of anything with a CPRV page in it
here at work to check (many club bulletins feature a CPRV page with rare
QSLs from the past each month).  CPRV can supply stickers for you to place
on your QSL collection saying that you eventually want the collection to
be donated to the CPRV, rather than letting them be thrown out or
something and losing a piece of radio history forever.  CPRV's archives
are kept at the offices of the Christian Science Monitor stations in
Boston.  CPRV provides a very worthwhile service.  I even know of a few
radio stations that are missing early QSLs that have contacted CPRV for
help.

You can reach the keeper of the archives, Jerry Berg, at [e-mail]
for more information.

I believe there is also a European equivalent of the CPRV (although
there's no official link between the two that I know of).  If memory
serves, Wolf Harranth at Radio Austria International is the contact for
that effort (try [e-mail] for more information).

I have a slightly differing view...

For some, indeed many, broadcasters the need for _traditional_
verification reports are not as necessary or desirable as they once were
for technical reasons... I really doubt that the Beeb, DW, or RN are
uncertain if their broadcasts are reaching their intended target area very
often.  Perhaps they are useful for marketing and survey purposes...  How
many listeners do we have that are interested enough to mail us?  What
frequency do they tend to listen to and why.

For other stations, mainly smaller or newer, they are useful for technical
purposes in addition to the reasons outlined above.

However I can see a much more streamlined and "green" way of achieving the
same goals being easily possible for many with todays technology...

With the extreme rapid growth of the WWW I can see some smart station net
guru setting up a "QSL submission Page" within their net area.  The
listener types in a report based on information requested within the web
form & what he has heard on the air and submits it for verification.  If
the information is accurate the person is granted access to an previous
blocked off area where a color graphic image of a full data verification
form is available for downloading via his or her web browser and then the
graphics can be saved into a word processor, or graphics program for
printing on an inexpensive color inkjet printer.

Sure the listener in Greater Upper Lower Volta probably will not have the
Net connection, printer or computer, but many people in industrialized
nations will or already do.

Lots of savings here...  You don't have to buy stamps, IRC's envelopes,
etc.  The mail doesn't have to be delivered from my PO to the airport or
ship then transported to the intended country via fossil-fuel vehicle (and
back), the person reading the report won't have to decipher my lousy
handwritting (although my Newton reads it pretty well :-), no paper cuts,
and less waste of paper, etc.

Sure it is a real kick to get a postcard from a foreign land, but I'd be
satisfied with a QSL via the method I outlined above.  As a matter of fact
I would be a much more frequent QSLer!

I frequently have to drive down major roads with big power lines beside them.
 The radio in my truck, a Sony, when tuned to AM, emits very loud noises,
ruining the reception.  On the other hand, in my wife's car, a Toyota
Cressida, we can listen to the same AM stations with no interference at all.

Is my truck radio not wired properly, or is my wife's radio just that much
better?

Thanks,

According to the 1995 WRTH, there are no shortwave transmitters in
the Cayman islands.  There is MW station and a couple of FM stations,
all with very low power.

I got a DX-375 for Christmas. I noticed that it skip from 6250 kHz
directly to 7100 kHz. I can't enter any of those frequencies in
manually either. Is this normal operation? The sales puke told me
it has continuous coverage from 2300 to 21850 kHz. If this gap is
normal, what's its purpose?

I've read several explanations that some models are limited to the
international broadcast bands because it is unlawful in some countries
(Italy comes to mind) to monitor the frequencies in between, which are
used for things like military communications.  In places where such
restrictions don't exist, the radios can be sold at the low end, for
sale to people who only want to tune into the BBC.  I also suspect that
it's one of the features with which they entice you to spend more
money.

At any rate, I doubt that the gaps have anything to do with build
cost.  My understanding is that the biggest cost is in frequency
agility (the ability to cleanly switch frequencies, when scanning), and
stability, neither of which is influenced by these gaps.  It's very
likely that the RF circuitry is capable of full coverage, and that the
gaps are programmed into the microprocessor (through on-chip ROM).  In
fact, I'll bet they use the same guts with a different ROM to produce a
continuous coverage radio (though not for Radio Shack).  I had a
professor who was using such "configuration control" in some
(non-radio) design work he did under contract ten years ago, so it is
not a new idea.

In response to the the original poster, the catalog plainly shows that
the DX-375 covers 2.3 to 6.25 and 7.1 to 21.85 MHz.  It is the
higher-priced DX-390, DX-392 and DX-394 that offer continuous
coverage.  The salesperson may have been thinking of the DX-390, which
is on sale for (I believe) an unprecedented third month, when claiming
contrinuous coverage.  If this feature is important to you (it's going
to cost you another $100-$130, depending on where you buy), you should
take advantage of the 30-day return policy.

According to Harry Helms' excellent _Shortwave_Listening_Guidebook_ (an
impulse purchase at the local Barnes & Noble), the gap between 6.25 and
7.1 includes amateur radio, maritime, and utility, while the frequencies
above 21.85 include more amateur radio, utility, and CB.  According to
the 1996 Passport, there are some broadcasters between 6.25 and 7.1,
but they appear to be "clandestine" and "pirate" stations, plus a few
mainstream broadcasters (VOA, RCI) that are also available in the usual
bands.  If these are worth the money to you, then go for it.  In that
case, you may also want to investigate the radios' LW coverage.

I've never been on a train in North America, but here in the UK it is
possible to use a radio in a carriage. Try and get near a window, and
remember that other people may not appreciate your choice of station,
use headphones.

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

I have a mint condition JRC NRD515 with 4 filters; the 96 Memory unit and
the Sherwood engineering SE-3 synch unit  for sale.  This is shortwave
listening as good as it gets.  I doubt that the sound quality on any
tabletop unit is as enjoyable as this configuration.

The radio was tuned up by Sherwood Engineering and has perfect cosmetics.

Price is $1050 firm.  You can't do better for listening.  email direct.

I have one, with all acc.. in box, les than a month old. I don't have
time to use it, and AES will only give an exchange. If you are interested
in the radio, you will essentially be getting a new radio, $350 value for
$300. I used it 2 or 3 times. If this price seems too much, of the radio
doesn't sell, then I will take it in for an exchange.

1996. I wonder what happens to the transmitter of RCI at Sackville, New

transmissions of other international broadcasters like BBC, Radio Japan,
Deutsche Welle, etc. are also closed.  Any information is appreciated.

  I'll second the vote for the Radio Shack DX390.  It is made by
Sangean.  I have had one for 2 years now, and am very satisfied. It
has a BFO built in which gives you the SSB capabilities.  There is
also an external antenna jack.  I use a 100' long wire with mine.

  There is also a model with a built in cassette recorder (never have
seen it on their shelf, but it was in their catalog).  The sensitivity
is excellent.  There are only a few stations I can't receive on it
that I can get on my Drake R-8.

  Be sure to get the AC adapter.  It is a battery hog.

Good luck

Didn't catch the original message in this thread, but have a suggestion
born of trial & error experience.

Try the Radio Shack "Amplified Shortware Antenna" catalog #20-280.    Its
another thing to carry, but works well if you have a window facing your
target.  Otherwise I rely on the old shortwire and two alligator-clip
trick, as others have mentioned.

As the original poster, let me say that I think this is bad advice.
I have yet to see a Sony AN-100 active antenna outperform my homemade
roll-up *dipole* (and I've tried in a variety of circumstances).
I doubt the Radio Shack antenna can do better than the Sony.

A wire with two alligator clips is inadequate, because it only
enhances one side of the antenna: whether you're aware of it or
not, any antenna has (at least) two legs.  Today's tiny portables
are so small that their bodies are thoroughly inadequate as the
"ground" side of an unbalanced antenna. A quantitative analysis of
the AN-100 suggests that amplification is not the primary mechanism
by which it improves reception, but rather the fact that the body
of the AN-100 and the shielded cable that attaches it to the radio
increase the bulk of the ground side.

Of course, when using the AC adapter the radio is grounded to the
AC line. In this case, signals are generally strong but noise is
also usually high.  When trying to catch DX in a portable setup I
therefore will normally use batteries (at home, the use of *well
grounded* coaxial cable from the antenna solves the power line
noise problem). This, however, requires that some sort of ground
be provided for adequate reception. In the original post, the
"antenna" was an electrical access plate (or, more accurately,
whatever unknown wiring the plate was connected to), while the
"ground" was 10' of wire lying on the floor (it also worked equally
well the other way around).

Active antennas are a particularly bad choice in urban environments,
where they increase your susceptibility to strong signal overload.

I never said that the AN-100 doesn't work: I just said that the
passive dipole consistently works as well or better.

You're thinking that the noise and signals are travelling via the
"differential" mode, in which the energy is carried by a field
between the two conductors. In fact, the usual problem is "common
mode" noise, in which the noise energy is carried by a field between
the entire cable and its surroundings. For a given amount of noise
energy, the voltage is higher for common mode coupling (because
the common mode characteristic impedance is higher), and voltage
is what primarily couples to an electrostatic antenna like a short
whip or dipole.

Another way of saying this is that the capacitive coupling between
the various wires of the AC line is so large that they tend to be
at nearly the same RF potential. In addition, a well designed AC
adapter will kill the differential mode by putting a bypass capacitor
across the line.

Thus, at HF, the AC line behaves more like a single wire than a
multiconductor cable. Two of the three wires in a 110V line are
grounded, so it's like having a fairly long ground cable. If you
have a good low impedance ground nearby to measure it against, any
of the wires of the AC line will typically show an impedance of a
few hundred ohms at HF (expect wide variations).

The capacitive coupling between the windings of a power transformer
is hundreds or thousands of pF, so at HF the impedance between the
input and output of the AC adapter is usually relatively small.

At the same time, the body of a tiny radio is a lousy ground, with
a body capacitance of only a few pF. With the SW100, just holding
it in your hand or placing it on a metal surface noticeably enhances
reception. Thus, connecting an AC adapter lowers the impedance of
the ground side of the antenna system substantially.

It's also true that as a piece of wire, the AC line picks up signals
on its own. Of course the signals it picks up the best come from
gadgets connected directly to it, so it tends to be very noisy.

I currently have a Radio Shack DX-350.  This has been my introduction
to the wonderful world of SW, DX, and all those other letters.  I am
wondering if I could cheaply find a good reliable antique shortwave
that would outperform this Radio Shack model.  I know this may be
picky, but can I expect a SW receiver to stay tuned so I don't have to
constantly mess with it while I'm on the Internet.  I like to
listen at night (12:30am) when I get home from work.  My little
Radio Shack doesn't seem to stay tuned very long.  I've gotten oodles
of antique radio catalogs from people, but now I'm not sure where to go
for advice on WHICH antique radio to consider.  Or do you think I
should just spend $200 or more and get something new.  I live in an
apartment, so I can't construct a massive antenna, and I tend to spend
too much money on impulse, so I thought I might buy cheaply.  Any and
all suggestions welcome.

PS
I just received the Signal Corps catalog and wondered if any of these
radios might be a good buy for general SW reception and DXing.

Thanks

        Brent

Whoever told you that was *WRONG*.  There are 3 major IRC networks:
EFFnet (wich irc.colorado.edu is on), UnderNet, and DALnet.  EFnet is
what our channel is currently configured for.  We are considering
setting up a link program to the the #PirateRadio channel on these
three networks together.

There are other (smaller) IRC networks, such as LinuxNet, as well.
These networks are dedicated to a specific subject.

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

The problem with this particular model has been distortion of audio at

I got the impression that this BC was going to be 30 minutes. But, I
just listened to the 1700 (Israel time) domestic news via the Internet
(http://www.artificia.com, Internet Wave version) and it was exactly 8
minutes 45 seconds. They didn't cut off anything in the news because I
heard the beginning tune and the words "and that is the end of the
news". Are there any features on the SW BC or what?

Re: Tony Bonanno <[e-mail]> comment on grounding the antenna
lead-in:

<In Palomar's instructions, to quote: "At a point on
the coaxial cable just before it enters the building, strip off a short
piece of the outer jacket and connect a ground wire to the cable shield.
 Run this wire to the nearest good ground.  This will drain off any
static charge on the antenna direct to ground.  This precaution is not
necessary to the operation of the balun but is considered good
engineering practice..">

How does this ground the center wire of the coaxial cable?  It would seem
center-conductor static charge buildup would not be "drained to ground"
with this set-up... could be disasterous for sensitive front-ends like my
Sony 2010.

I have a "gas discharge chamber" gadget supplied with the "Eavesdropper"
trapped longwire which supposedly grounds out both shield and center-wire.


My antenna hasn't been in battle with a thunderstorm yet, but I feel more
comfortable with both sides grounded :)  Is that false comfort?  Would the
direct grounding of the coax-shield suffice -- at little or no cost?

is garbled in the "A" mode--but is audible.  When I try to tune using

Greetings all!

I'm looking for a good freeware/shareware/inexpensive
shortwave logging application for my Macintosh.  I've got
my trusty Grundig Satellit 700 sitting here next to my Mac
(not too much RFI), and I thought a good logger app would
be appropriate.

Any suggestions?  Places to look?
Please reply via e-mail, because my provider doesn't

Thanks!

Beta Testers for Macintosh Radio Control Software for Yaesu and Kenwood
radios are wanted. You must have a Macintosh (color display required) and
a radio with the necessary computer interface, and be willing to test many
versions of the software. (I don't have either of these radios, so I am
unable to test it out myself)

What will you get out of it? Well, besides the satisfaction of helping
debug some shareware Macintosh software, you'll get a free registered copy
of the final version, and the ability to provide input to the design,
which means the software will have the features you're interested in.

I will also be looking for Beta Testers for Lowe, Drake, Japan Radio, and
AOR radios in the future, as soon as I obtain the protocol information and
modify the software to support those rigs.

If anyone has copies of the protocols for these radios, I'd appreciate
getting a copy, or finding out where I can get the information (is it
online?)

Thanks,

Chris

from R. Bulgaria, and Radio Pyongyang yesterday!

A few weeks ago I got the annual 1-page wall calendar from
Radio Australia.

Anyone else get good stuff for the new year?

Summary: Can I get this?
Keywords: Sports, SWL

Hello.

While receantly talking to a friend about transmission of live audio
over the internet through RealAudio, I mentioned how nice it was to be
able to get broadcasts of my favorite hockey team, which I am no
where near located.  He mentioned that I could get the same thing
a lot simpler through shortwave radio.

This interests me, because I would also be interested in other
world broadcasts, etc.. But my main concern is my ability to pick
sports broadcasts up. Especially from the Toronto and L.A. areas.
Our sports broadcasts readily available this way?

I have already looked at the information on the web, and it would
seem one of the portable recievers would fit the kind of usage I would
need.  Should I shoot for a high end one, or is a 100 dollar box
going to get the job done?

I appreciate your help, thank you.

Erik Horn

Nice plug John... I listen to the program whenever possible and also have
friends that listen in.

I read magazines like "Monitoring Times" and some comments from people
who complain about the programs like this carried on WWCR and a few other
stations. It's unfortunate that some of these people have closed minds.
They should take time out and listen especially Tom Valentine's Radio
Free America. Even thou the program may not be 100% accurate about the
comspiracies that are going on behind our backs about a buildup of a new
global one world government which in reality is growing right in front of
us.

Anybody who has doubts...check into it...have an open mind. Think about
the rights an individual used to have many years ago. Today, the
government can tresspass onto your property and knock down YOUR trees
without asking for your permission. Such is actually the case that
happens in our neighborhood. The city government here sees a tree they
don't like where it's growing on your property, etc... True this is the
City government..but they are influenced by the state and federal
government.

As another suggestion to the person who dislikes RFA and other related
programs on WWCR...I suggest they read there US Constitution and history
books. Sending troops to Bosnia under a foreign military commander, etc
is totally against our US Constitution.

If anybody notes that in 1995 we've seen several people getting laid off
from jobs because of either factories closing down or moving to a foreign
country, etc... is due to NAFTA and even were I work in a
Telecommunications company were feeling the effects. Our work load is
slowing down. Yes folks were seeing great number of people in America
losing there jobs...it's all behind the plans of a Global One World
Government headed by the Rockofellor group who runs the United Nations.
The United Nations was a big mistake!!!

As a budget move.
It has become an issue in Canada. Does anybody out there and outside of

 Yes, many of us care very much about what Canada does and has to say.  As clo
se as we are
geographically, there's a real dearth of Canadian news in the U.S. -- the medi
a here didn't , for
example, catch on the Quebec referendum story until about two or three days be
fore the
election--and for those of who are interested in Canada, RCI is a major, if no
t the major, outlet we
have access to.  (I'm lucky in that I live close enough to Vancouver to pick u
p CBC on AM reliably,
plus through some freak of nature the cable TV franchise here carries CBC TV o
ut of Vancouver.)
Radio Canada International has been one of the most trustworthy, reliable, and
 sane voices on
shortwave for years.  It would be stupid and shorsighted of the Canadian gover
nment to close it
down, given the relatively piddling amount of money it costs to operate it.

As for shortwave's relevancy, it still is the way to get your message out to t
he world, especially the
third world.  Until satellite reception becomes cheap, with small, easy-to-use
 and inexpensive
receivers, it will be a supplement to shortwave, not a replacement.

Here's hoping that the Canadian government does the right thing regarding RCI.

Jim

CBC International is a terrific service--when it can be
picked up.  It's wonderful to hear "As it Happens" every
evening. A great program.

But please, say it ain't so.

Is this available in the U.S.?  (The original
message seems to indicate it will be.)  Or are
they talking about the 3 1/2 hours daily that
RTE in English is already available on WRN
with some program content changes?  Can
anyone (such as the original poster) clear
this up?

I have a Blaupunkt(spelling?) that cover lf/mw/s3(4-7MHz)/uw(fm bcb).
I traded a am/fm/casstte deck for it about 10years ago.  The sw is
fairly good, FMbcb sucks(poor sensisitvity, and real prone to intermod).
The worst problem with mobile sw is engine/gauge/tire you name it noise.
I currently have a 1985 Toyota Celica.  This car is the worst noise
generator that I have ever owned.  The standard tricks, bonding engine/
hood/exhaust, and bypassing all the leads through the fire wall(getting
harder to do becuase there are just to many wires, I tried split cores,
but nothing really helped.  (split cores are ferrite shells that you
put over a wire(s) and tape the halfs togather, really better for
vhf/uhf freqs).  When I am parked with the engine and fan off, and if
you don't park under a power line, reception of sw bcb is enjoyable.
All the power houses, BBC/RCI(while it lasts)/etc are easy listening.
Of course my Panasonic RF2200 does a much better job, from the same
lacation with, the built in whip.  Of course lf beacons are interesting.
I would save my money and buy the best portable I could afford.

I've found a blankpau Toronto car radio but only 49m band works
ok..... 500 usd
Their Berlin model was good but cost abt 1000 usd here
or try an old pioneer 850 pxl ?? sw1 and sw2 bands and works a dream I
was told it is still in manufacture and sale in middle east (best
radio for a car) ..... was 600 usd
Is some one out there from pioneer could confirm ..I sure there would
be a few sales !!!!

 Sony make a  medium wave sw radio ok but hard to tune.....150 usd

I have the Frankfurt model. This is AM/FM/SW 49m only. The image
is very poor. I get the BBC in several places. However, it works.

How does it compare to the two models below? Also what will be its
approx price.

I got far superior reception using a SW converter.

Well you have!  Actually the author noticed a post I had written here on
rec.radio.shortwave thought he recognized my name (discovered he had),
wrote me and offered to send me a free upgrade.  Great guy!  The software
comes with one free upgrade.  I'm sorry but I forget the author's name at
the moment.  But he has continued to work on the stacks and they are
great.  The version that he sent me even allows me to control my JRC
NRD-525 with my Mac!  COOL BEANS!

Agree with [e-mail] -- the Radio Shack "Amplified Shortwave
Antenna cat. no 20-280" works as well as a longwire for my DX-440 and a
teeny analog receiver.

BUT, my Sony 2010 was very much improved when connected to an
"Eavesdropper" longwire vs the active antenna... less qrm, more
sensitivety, etc.

I guess the advantages of a tuned longwire depend somewhat on the
receiver's front end and bells & whistles, in addition to directivity of
the antenna (nulling noise off the ends of the wire).

Incidently, I didn't notice any advantage from an antenna matcher/tuner on
my 2010 (I did with the other receivers).  My biggest gain came from
raising the Eavesdropper wire antenna about two more feet (now about 20 ft
above ground).

Since the wire antenna extends from the house to a tree, in the past I
left slack so wind blowing the tree around wouldn't snap the wire antenna.
 After I rigged a spring on one end and increased the tension, the middle
of the wire (at coax take-off) rose by more than 2 feet.  And reception
improved significantly.

Bottom line -- listen to advice of others, then try it for yourself --
then let us know what worked best for your set-up.

I suspect that the roof itself _may_ work better for you than a
wire under the roof.  Why not try clipping a lead to the roof and
see how it works.  If the roof is a poor antenna, than you can
still try stringing a wire under the roof, to see if I'm entirely
wrong (;-)).

I've heard about putting long-wire antennas in attics for fairly good SW
reception.  Can anyone tell me if that scenario would work well for me.  I
have a sheet metal roof (galvanized steel), but there is plywood between
the metal and the attic space. Would it be possible to utilize the roof
itself as an antenna?  Also, since my attic is 16 ft., can I make some
kind of elongated loop for best reception or would that be a waste of

I agree completely. These annoyances are net-wide phenomenon,
however. Other groups - a.f.u. is one - have been able to
maintain the quality of posts with frequent statements of
what is acceptable both for topics and content, lavishly
citing the faq. R.r.s. has a good faq, maybe it needs to
be posted more often in smaller installments and with the
admonishment that newbies read it before posting, and that
political discussion is not welcome here. I should add that
some r.r.s. members have bent over backwards to help beginners,
which is of course the best thing for the hobby with all we've
heard about the imminent death of short wave; I just think a more
thorough perusal of the faq would cut down on great deal
of the clutter. Finally, you want to see more loggings -
and who doesn't - the best thing is to post yours, whether
it's the Beeb or Bhutan. So in the spirit of these remarks,
I'll think I'll shut of my computer now and turn on the
radio.

73s and good DX.

The answer may lie in a web site that is available for
posting real time loggings.  The "forms" nature of the page
restricts the format of what can be entered to only the
essentials.  It is, therefore, self policing.  Give it a
try.

I want to use my 2010 to drive an outboard FM broadcast SCA decoder. Has
anyone done this with the 2010? I'd appreciate any tips (especially WRT
the connection point in the Sony).

Thanks in advance.

TODAY,
THE ONLY MODS FOR THE RIG IS WHAT USERS DID.
I USED TO HAVE ONE WITH THE SERVICE MANUAL AND A MODS BOOKLET FROM JIM WHITE (

I DID SOME MODS MYSELF AND THATS IT.

Howdy,

I owned a Realistic DX440 and then bought a Sony 2010.  Simply stated
there is _no_ comparison between the two radios.  The DX440 is a good
radio. The 2010 is a league above.

I have an SW-1S that has suddenly developed a strange problem.  All
aspects of the receiver still work great.  However, the computer/clock
portion has begun to fail.  The standby feature will not reliably turn
on the radio at the set time.  When it does activate the radio, the
"sleep" indicator in the display is activated.  Otherwise, it seems to
work A-OK.  Has anyone else experienced this or other problems with
their SW-1S?  Thanks for any response.

Mike-

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

You need a type 2 connector conforming to the EIAJ RC-5320 standard.

It has an outer diameter of 4mm and an inner bore of 1.7mm.

The SW-77 is still the most advanced portable shortwave on the market now.
It is much newer and has solved some of the problems that the Sony 2010
has had. However, it still suffers from bad press relations for some
unknown reason.

Elizabeth: I'm sure others have already replied, but if they haven't (HI)
fwiw your time signal station on 570 is Cuban. It's called either Radio
Rebelde or Radio Reloj (can't remember which, HI). Power/QTH unknown, but
must be running at least 250-500KW (at least when there was Soviet oil
powering the place). Back when I was in the Broadcast Biz they were loud
enough to be heard on an impedeance meter. And, on the night Castro
cranked up his MEGAWATTS to protest Radio Marti, they overpowered our 1KW
night pattern on the modulation monitor back at the studio!

My SW-100 displays the "ping" symptom on 15MHz CW, a slight tap on the
front (the sort of pressure needed to push a key) results in a distortion
which dies in about 250mS.

This is only noticable on constant tone TX.

Hello!

        I had an idea that may make life more interesting/better for shortwave listen
ers.  A list could be set up and posted
every 2-3 weeks or so with the Top 10 or 15? active frequencies per a catagory
.   I would be willing to keep a database
and do the posting regularly unless someone else would like to.
        It would/could work like this:  A message is requested asking for everyone's
top 1-10 freqs (active ones!) for
each catagory..  Then the list is posted every once in a while listing the top
 freqs as per the response per frequency.
        I would not want too many catagories..  Any ideas you might have per breakdow
n would be helpful.   An early
breakdown might be like:

A: US Military (Army, Navy, Air Force)
B: Coast Guard/DEA/Customs
C: Maritime and Maritime Phone Patch
D: Aeronautical and Aeronautical Phone Patch

FEEDBACK:  Is this a good idea?  Would you support it w/sending in your top fr
eqs??  Is top 10 good or top 20? DIfferent
breakdown w/more groups?

I've been asked to upload this message by Bernt Erfjord:

Just a mention of a forthcoming special broadcast from Norway.  The
students of the Trondheim University celebrates their Student Rag Week
every two years in October.  This autumn they run it again.  This is
the longest week in Norway, perhaps in the world, since it lasts for
23 days!   During the "week" the students have lots of fun, arranging
concerts, theatre plays, etc etc.  And for decades they have had their
own radio station in service.
The Student Rag Week Station, "UKE-senderen" will broadcast on the
following frequencies:  7215 kHz, 1485 kHz and locally on FM.  SW and
MW will be in the range of 300 Watts.  SW will be fed into a
two-element Yagi-antenna on the top of a 13-story building.  The
antenna is mounted on a rotor, and the direction will be changed.  No
details received as to when certain directions will be used.  1485 kHz
is fed to an inverted V antenna, unfortunately not very high above
ground.
The student rag week starts on October 20th, and lasts until November
12th, but test-transmissions can be expected any day now.  FM is
already operational with tests.  (I guess it will last a week or two
until the first HF-tests appear!)  All transmitters are expected to be
on air 24 hours, with taped music and announcement during the hours,
when regular programming is not broadcast.  The HF-transmitters are
both ex Coastal Station equipment, heavily rebuilt by the technical
students!
 If you want to phone the Students Radio Club, the Academic Radio
Club, their phone number is [phone].  Their mailing address
should be ARK-Ukesender, Box 250, N-7034 Trondheim - NTH, Norway.

I'm looking to upgrade from a R/S DX-375 to a DX-390, and I wonder if
it's going to be enough of an improvement to justify the money.  Due to
where I live and money available, this is my only choice.  There are a

Vane Jones still around?

I just joined this newsgroup yesterday and now that his name is brought
up, I have one of his old "North American Radio & TV Station Guide." I
have the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 14th edition. I bought the 14th edition
well over 10 years ago...perhaps 15 years now.  Does he still publish
that book to this day?

If so, where can I get my hands on one?

Seeking to buy a TV-7 B/U model mutual conductance tube tester
in good condition with owners manual and tube chart setup
documentation that covers older and newer tubes as 6550, 7027,
7199, 7591, EL34, EL84, ECC and KT series tubes.  Wish to pay a
reasonable price.  The intended use is guitar amplifiers.

Since I'm working on a budget, I recently purchased an EMC Model
206 mutual conductance tube tester in super condition with
manual and tube chart for $50. It is as new, the seller advised
of the tube chart problem, but I thought I could find charts for
it, but no luck thus far.  It works beautifully, but
unfortunately, it appears the bargain wasn't worth it, because I
can't find charts to cover the above tubes I've mentioned.

If you know where I can find the newer charts for this dinosaur,
it will save me buying the TV-7 B/U.  That would be appreciated
greatly too.

Thank you.

Anyone have a clue why every radio I buy with analog tuning and a weather
band won't receive NOAA broadcasts, but my Rat Shack weather radio and my
scanner receive them just fine?  Is it some digital vs analog tuning
thing?

Maybe the RS is a better (more sensitive, less prone to desensing) than
the analog one.

Very strange! The local NOAA station is only 10-15 miles from where I live
and I still can't receive it on an analog set.  They must be broadcasting
on half a kilowatt ;-)

NOAA weather band stations broadcast with about 100-200 watts. (there is
a typo in the flyer accompanying some WeatherOne radios which says 100-200
kw).

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

Just posted the answer to this on rec.antiques.radio+phono (this
explains the references to tube gear and Philco chairsides) a few
days ago:

In article <4cg87e$[e-mail]> [e-mail] writes:

The box is a broadband amplifier designed to have tolerable noise
performance when faced with the high, mostly capacitive impedance
of the short wire.

The idea is to improve the poor signal pickup of a short wire
antenna. They work, but:

1. They are most commonly used with an indoor antenna. Most indoor
environments are very noisy these days, and the amplifier boosts
the junk as well as the signal, for no overall improvement in signal
to noise ratio.

2. The amplification may cause strong local signals to overload
the radio, or the active antenna itself may overload. Symptoms are
reception of strong stations at incorrect frequencies (at all
frequencies in extreme cases).

These might actually be more useful with old tube gear than with
the modern stuff for which they are intended: tube receivers tend
to be less susceptable to overload. Also, inadequate gain/noise
figure is more common with tubes and early transistors: with modern
transistors gain is so cheap that there's rarely too little of it.

Still, nothing beats a good passive outdoor antenna.

I have a tiny Sony all band radio I take on trips (I'd rather take
my 37-620, but it doesn't fit in my luggage :-). It came with an
active antenna, but I don't use the active antenna anymore: an
untuned dipole with 10' arms works as well or better.

To see if amplification might help (on an AM radio: diagnosing FM
sensitivity is harder), tune to a frequency between stations in
the band you want to listen to. If the noise goes down when you
disconnect your antenna, your reception is limited by noise pickup
from the antenna and amplification won't help. If the noise doesn't
go down (or the gain is inadequate to hear it at all), an active
antenna might help.

An active antenna is one which contains an amplifier.

This may be to compensate for the antenna element being small, or to
minimize signal loss over distance (e.g. indoor use of an antenna mounted
outside).

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

Jim,

This is also true of the "zapped" radio syndrome after attempting
internal mods or battery changes.  Another hint:  before changing
batteries or attempting mods, set both lock switches to the "locked"
position.  This work
ed so well for me that I didn't even loose time on the clock or any
station memories after a full half hour with the case open.

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

Wrong!  Prague, Czech Republic is where the studios are located, previously
Munich, Germany.  The transmitters (SW) are located in Germany and Portugal.
I don't recall if they still broadcast from Spain as well.  Years ago, they
also had a relay site in Taiwan.

I wonder what "Radio Liberation" is - or was...? Did it ever exist?

In the 50's we could here "Ragyo Osvobozhdania" [which means R.LIBERATION!!]

Like that real audio WOR sight wish I could talk my people into doing
that! Imagine all those people in the office and apartment buildings
actually
being able to hear us. I would love to see WOR and WABC on the FM dial
we would put a BIG dent into those cookie cutter FM stations..

I just ordered a 1996 WRTH on a prepublication special which expired
12/31. It should come out in two weeks or so.

Wait for the 96 edition. It is out of the factory and on its way to

I'm having a problem with getting what I call "phantom" stations -
broadcasts coming in at frequencies they're not supposed to be on.  For
example, for the past few nights I've been getting Radio France
Internationale, in French, from 0200-0250, at 8890 kHz.  I know that can't
be right. On other occasions I've picked up Radio Netherlands in the upper
8000s as well.  One night I picked up an American station around the
6700-6800 area (can't remember the station name offhand, but it was not a
pirate).

Is it my radio?  Can anything be done about it? Thanks.

(I have a DX-392; saving my pennies and hoping within the next year to get
an SW8)

I thought I should let them have a reception report, but I need their

I saw the posting you are refering to some days before the Ukesender
should go on the air.  I saw no loggings of it mentioned here during the
Student rag week, but I heard the station myself here in Bergen on the
Norwegian west coast.

It's an *excellent* inexpensive SSB-capable portable, if perhaps a bit
heavy for air travel. One of the very best-looking portables as well, and
with good, loud audio.

One has been in daily use here for over 3 years, along with several other
SW portables, and it remains a favourite.

It's an *excellent* inexpensive SSB-capable portable, if perhaps a bit
heavy for air travel. One of the very best-looking portables as well, and
with good, loud audio.

One has been in daily use here for over 3 years, along with several other
SW portables, and it remains a favourite.

Monitoring Times recently had a product review for the MFJ DSP unit. They said
it was the best one of all of the ones they had tested.

By the way, I use an old MFJ752B analog audio filter with my R-5000 receiver.
I
does not do much for me while copying AM or morse code; however, my digital
decoding gear (M-600, Franklin Converter, and MFJ 1270C TNC) gives more
error-free copy while using the MFJ-752B.

I noticed some of the postings here regarding numbers stations.
Here's a related topic of interest: A friend of mine is an American executive
living in Japan. Sometimes at night he monitors the mediumwave broadcast
stations from North Korea. He discovered that at midnight, these stations
broadcast long strings of numbers (I actually have a tape of this!). He told m
e
that Japan has virtually no laws to prohibit foreign intelligence officers fro
m
operating in Japan. He said that these transmissions are for N. Korean agents
operating in Japan.

Thanks for the info. I already use JV-FAX 7.0 along with the impressive $29
Franklin Converter for HF FAX reception. Here's my biggest nightmare with the
MFJ-1270C: I'm trying to interface with with my Radio Shack HTX-202 HT....what
a pain! The special cable sold by AES does NOT work! Worse yet, MFJ Technical
Support has given me different instructions on how to interface the two units.

By the way, some of the N. Korean "news" photos that I've intercepted are
available for view/download in CompuServe's Hamnet Forum (in the Utility DXing
part of the Library).

One of these days I actually get operational on 2-meter packet (in spite of
MFJ).

Friends,

This week (Thu-Sun) we will make some tests transmissions  at 20.00 to 20.30
UTC in order to get a good frequency at this time to ex. Yugoslavia. Tests as
follows:
20.00-20.10     7305 kHz
20.10-20.20     7340 kHz
20.20-20.25     6135 kHz
20.25-20.30     6200 kHz

Reports would be highly appreciated from all parts of the world !

Magnus, [e-mail]

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

Best Of Luck

You might want to try to fix this yourself.

The starting point is the stringing diagram, which probably was
included in the Sams Photofact for the receiver.  I'd try to get
more information by posting to the various radio newsgroups and
asking for help.  Also, you might try to find a book on repairing
old radios; sorry, I've never looked at one, so I have none to
recommend.

If you can't find the diagram, try stringing in a way that seems
logical to you.  As I remember it (this is a 30 or 40 year old
memory, filtering through an even older mind), the trick was to
wrap each pulley and shaft more than once, and to make the string
tight enough that the spring just starts to be extended.

If you're determined not to do it yourself, try finding an older
radio repair technician (or a retired one).


Good luck.

up carrier at 0126.  Numbers began *promptly* at 0130 and ended at 0134.
 Carrier dropped *promptly* at 0135.  I'm certain this was same as last
nite's logging as the voice was identical and signal was thru the roof!!!!!

Just the wire that came with it; its in a loop on the ceiling of my room

seems to boost things enough; especially 8 or 9 MHZ and above.

The output level from the 803 is not "line level" it is
"microphone level" i.e. a lot lower. Connect the radio to the
microphone input and it will work - assuming nothing is wrong.

If you don't have the string diagram it could take several hours
to figure out. I know - had to do it many times with my vintage radios.

Try it yourself

Europe via shortwave, plus 17 hours of programming of English-language
programming via the "Hot Bird" direct broadcast satellite.

French-language broadcasts to Europe are of equal daily duration.

There's also 90 minutes in Spanish, 2 hours in Russian and 1.5-2 hours
daily in Ukrainian.

I have a shareware logging program for the Mac called Promethius. You can

Howdy,

I'm a bit puzzled by the previous answer posted to this thread. I owned
a Panasonic RF B45 and it was/is a fine _little_ portable SW receiver.
It does/did _not_ however provide SSB capabilities, or at least the
model that I owned did not.  That is why I traded up to a RF B65 which
does provide SSB capabilities.  It does seem to me that later versions
of the 45 did include the ability to tune SSB, but the radio is not what
I would think of a "large" by any means.  One of the things that
attracted me to the RF B45 and the 65 was the small size of the
radio[s].

Someone straighten me out on this  ...  I'm cornfused!  ;o)

Cheers     :o)    cws

Hrm...

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

Satellites and the net are the current hi-tech fads.  The day I have
to listen to a station via either one is the day I stop listening to
that station.  It's cute to be able to listen via the net.  It's not a
realistic way of reaching listeners.  And I'm not going to stick
satellite dishes on my various cars.

A sure way for a station to lose listeners is to drop SW for sat/net
transmission!

Actually, it IS moderated.  But it's full of the stuff we aren't

Radio of the United Arab Emirates from Abu Dhabi put in a fair to weak signal
here in Northern California (Oakland) on 9770 kHz, and a slightly less stable
signal on 9605 kHz.  This was their English broadcast to North America from
2300-0000 UTC.

NB:  One of the announcers has a terrible habit of mumbling.

In the past on-going Ocean Rescues like this one; especially when
multi-agency in International waters have produced great HF listening.

AP 10 Jan 96 22:01 EST

Rescuers Rush To Sinking Ship

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) -- Battling the clock, rescue units rushed
Wednesday night to reach 24 sailors aboard a ore freighter sinking in the
North Atlantic in 30-foot waves and high winds.

There was no immediate indication if any of the sailors were injured or
how fast the ship was sinking. Canadian Coast Guard and U.S. air units
prepared Wednesday night to leave for the Greek-owned Amphion, foundering
about 500 miles off Newfoundland. The ship issued its first distress call
at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, but help isn't expected until 2:30 a.m Thursday
at the earliest.  "They're still taking in water, and they don't think
they're going to salvage the (craft)," Canadian Coast Guard Capt. Perry
Kurzynski said Wednesday night.

The ship, a bulk carrier almost the length of two football fields, was
damaged by the storm that blanketed the East Coast with snow earlier this
week. The same storm has hindered rescuers.  A Coast Guard ship expected
to reach the Amphion early Thursday would try to rescue the crew using a
large inflatable raft, said Dan Bedell, a guard spokesman in Halifax. He
said rescuers would have only a short window of opportunity Thursday
morning to get the crew to safety before another storm moved into the area
Thursday afternoon.

The U.S. military also was preparing to help. A U.S. Air National Guard
unit in Westhampton Beach, N.Y., was to leave for the scene early
Thursday.  The 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard will
send two helicopters and 25 people at about 5 a.m. Thursday. The aircraft
will fly nine hours to St. John's, Newfoundland, to rest and refuel before
making the five-hour flight to the scene.  They are expected to arrive at
8 a.m. Friday.  A C-130 from the Marine Corps Reserve in Newburgh, N.Y.,
will accompany the helicopters.

   I have a Sony 55 and propped it on the window ledge on an Amtrak run
between Montreal and NY city. I taped the telescopic antenna onto the glass
and listened through headphones, the reception wasn't bad. I also do the
same thing in the car once in a while on long trips, and the noise from the
kids in the back seat doesn't seem as bad. The closer to the glass I get
the antenna, the better the reception.

Radio Tacna, Peru, can be heard on 9505,2 kHz around 2230 UTC
now and then.  The reception is surprisingly good here in
Scandinavia, eg on Jan. 30th.

Is the power really only 200 Watts, or 180 Watts as one Finnish

They also carry programs on the net in two formats. You can download or
listen to Real Audio files and you can listen to their North American
service on Internet Streamworks. (http://www.xingtech.com)

The Real Audio files are in ftp://town.hall.org/radio/Mirrors/WRN/audio/
and .../WRN/archive/ (I believe those are the right paths but this is
from memory.)

If you download the Streamworks player, you will have to add a new
server. It is town.hall.org and I think the port is 1558. (It is the
same as all the others.)

I think there is another form of Internet broadcasting which carries WRN
called Mbone or something like that but I think you need something like
a T-1 line and a Sun Sparc work station. PC's and Mac's with modems need
not apply.

I notice that when I download VOA Communications world from
gopher.voa.gov (or ftp.voa.gov but I think they are the same #
address) in 8-bit zipped .wav form, it is about 7 Megs zipped, and about
19 Megs or so as a .wav.

On the other hand, if I download it from town.hall.org in Real Audio
form, it is about 1.7 Megs. (RA files will not compress further if you
zip them or use any similar compression like Drivespace or Stacker or
Arj or ...) So, if these files are more than a few seconds a piece, you
might be able to save transmission time and storage space by using Real
Audio. I believe the converter program is free. I don't know how many
people out there can play .wav files and not .ra files.

stations,from the eastern parts of Australia.I am planning a trip to
Aus. in a couple of months,and I am wondering what I can expect to hear
on the medium-wave bands.If anyone can help me out on this,please post
it to this newsgroup.
                     yours gratefully,
                                      John Maxwell

I hope I'm not posting something that everybody in this newsgroup already
knows about, and therefore opening myself up to flames.  But, I have
recently discovered something called the "World Radio Network" on my
cable TV; it is a 24 hour a day service which rebroadcasts about 20
different SW stations from around the world (accent on Europe).  Since I
live in a basement apartment and unfortunately have almost no SW
reception, it's been a bit of a godsend, although of course there's no
thrill of stumbling upon an unexpected station -- WRN sets the schedule.

They're on cable channel 49-B in Minneapolis (of course, the service is
not mentioned in anything the cable company sends out, I found it by
chance).  I know they are also available on satellite, which I'm not
into, and on a few cable channels around the country; if you have WWW
they have a page at http://www.wrn.org.  Check it out, it's inspired me
to not cancel my cable.

Does somebody know the amplifier type used in the Grove TUN-4
Minituner Plus? The schematics don┤t tell it and there are no markings
in the component itself. Thanks in advance for info!

I have been using a JPS NIR-10 dsp unit with my R-5000 and have had
remarkably good results; the passband tuning and notch features are
superb as well.

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

i received a sony worldband/shortband radio for christmas.  Now I'd like
to find some kind of listing, anything that would have frequencies,
locations and formats.  Granted I can listen to it and log the frequency
by myself, but if there is an all-mighty list of world-wide stations and
short wave stations I'd be glad to know where to find it.  In addition if
there is a web site with similar info i'd like that as well. thanks.

In response to your questions, I thought I'd jump in and be the first.

Why listen to international broadcasts?  Well, for me, I like to hear what
others have to say about what this country (US) is doing.  I also like to
listen to music from other countries as well.

Why shortwave?  Simple, it's still the easiest, most direct way to
listen.  The internet does have this capability, but sound files take
quite a long time to download, and you have to have a pretty powerful
machine with a fast modem to really take advantage of this technology.
Satelite is still too expensive.  So that leaves shortwave.  Turn on the
radio, push a couple of buttons, and your there.  There is a small
learning curve, but this can be aided by several different books and
magazines.  Plus, most portable shortwaves are much easier to carry around
than a satilite dish or computer.

As for the future, yeah, i'll still be listening as I think that stations
will still be there and the radios will get better too. I also will say
that there is a nostalgic aesthetic to it as well, as this medium has been
around since the 30's at least.

As for stations doing it wrong?  Well, only the ones that won't broadcast
more in English, but that is only *my* perspective.  Maybe it'll encourage
me to learn more languages than just english or Spanish.

>Hi,

Hi Douglas,

I do have some experience with the Panasonic RF-B45. It's my receiver
beside the Grundig Satellit 700.

In general, I am very satisfied with the Panasonic, although this set
alone wouldn't be enough for me. In really most aspects, the Grundig
Satellit is by far better, except size and perhaps longwave and
mediumwave (at least in my case). But the Panasonic is much cheaper
and good for travelling (in its nice small bag).

Of course, everything depends on your intentions with the radio. If
you want to get a lot of shortwave broadcasters and to listen to some
hams (in SSB), the Panasonic may be a good choice. Moreover, its sound
(especially FM) is very good (but no stereo with headphones); FM
reception is also quite good.
However, if you are more interested in DXing, a more expensive radio
would be more suited, although the Panasonic isn't that bad, too.
But with the Panasonic, you cannot choose between LSB and USB, there
is no manual gain control (as with the Grundig Satellit 700; I
wouldn't like to miss this manual gain control); there is no
synchronous detector (but I think, this is not so necessary);
frequencies are digitally displayed in steps of 5 kHz, not 1 kHz, but
you have the possibility to fine-tune with a small wheel (not only in
SSB, but also in AM).
You cannot connect an external antenna (only attach wires to the
telescopic antenna, which may improve a lot, indeed).
What I also miss: there is no bandwidth switch and no light.

On the other hand, all these points do not mean that I don't like the
radio. Measured by its price and size, it offers a lot and for many
people this may just be right.
Battery life seems to be o.k., too.

Reception quality also depends on many other factors, of course. Where
I live (apart from problems with interference by TV sets), reception
with this Panasonic is rather good, whereas a friend of mine lives in
a house where with this radio (and similar ones) reception is very
poor. Nevertheless, one can improve reception with some simple
measures. As I already mentioned, attaching a wire to the telescopic
antenna (with a alligator clip, is it called so in English??) may
improve a big deal, at least in my case, signal strength increases
considerably.
Where I live (in Germany), there is no problem in getting Radio
Australia or Beijing with this Panasonic, and it is also possible to
get U.S. radio amateurs. Needless to say that I also hear many german
and european radio amateurs (on 20, 40 or 75 meters) (although often
my Panasonic is silent and my Grundig gets a ham in quite a good
quality...)

So it's difficult to give a final evaluation; you may also compare
this Panasonic with receivers like Grundig Yachtboy 400 (which has
some additional features) or Sony ICF-SW 7600 G (with its synchr.
detection), or perhaps with the more expensive Panasonic RF-B65.

I hope, you come to a good decision

Best 73

Manfred

             TRICK THE ICOM R71A BELOW 100 KHZ

            Copyright 1985 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

 The ICOM R71A general coverage receiver is designed for VLF
 reception down to about 97 kHz.

 The following steps will confuse  the  microprocessor-based
 controller  sufficiently  to  permit  reception down to 0.0
 kHz:

   1.  If all 32 memory channels  contain  frequencies,  use
       the FUNC and CLEAR buttons to clear a memory channel.

   2.  Place VFO/M switch into the M (Memory) position.

   3.  Using all the manual dexterity you can  muster,  rock
       the   MAIN   TUNING   knob   back  and  forth,  while
       simultaneously rocking the MEMORY-CH  rotary  control
       to  switch  back  and  forth between a memory channel
       with a frequency in it and a clear memory channel.

       Continue rocking both the controls until a  frequency
       of 0.000.0 appears on the digital display.

   4.  Depress the WRITE button.  This stores the 0.000  MHz
       frequency in a memory channel.

       You can now rotate the MAIN TUNING knob clockwise  to
       tune up from 0.000 MHz to the frequency you want.  Be
       careful:  if  you  rotate  the   MAIN   TUNING   knob
       counterclockwise,  the  radio will immediately revert
       to 29.999 MHz.

 To tune below 100 kHz in the future, just recall the  0.000
 MHz  frequency  from  the memory channel and use the tuning
 knob to tune upward.  That way, you don't have to  use  two
 hands every time you tune to a VLF frequency.

 I used a Wavetek 180  sweep/function  generator  to  verify
 that the R71A is indeed receptive to signals below 100 kHz.

Tonight on 5.975 MHz, at 06:55 UTC, the BBC radio program "MegaMix"  read
my letter on the air. (Actually, the letter was worded to sound as if it
had been written to the BBC by my dog, who told them how much he enjoys
listening to MegaMix!) It was pretty cool when I realized that people all
over the world were listening to "the letter that my dog had written."

Thanks, rec.radio.shortwave, for helping turn me on to SWL!

Erik,

CFRB AM1010 out of Toronto has a Shortwave broadcast.  You can listen
to the Maple Leafs and Raptors through them.  I am not sure if there
are other NHL teams whose games are also broadcast over SW.

over RCI's output.

The FAQ already includes a statement to the effect that arguements
are strongly discouraged, which is about as strongly as you can say
anything about an unmoderated newsgroup.  I'm not inclined to add
anything about political posts specifically, or any negative
admonishments in general, because I don't think it's appropriate for
the FAQ to participate in the political discussions.  And, judging
by the number of people who participate in the discussions, I'm not
sure they're not welcome here.  I don't like them, but then, I don't
read them any more.  Thanks to the judicious use of KILL files, I
don't even see half of them any more.  I recommend KILL files highly.
They make the group much more readable.  A side benefit of KILL files
(or just honing your ability to ignore obnoxious posters) is that
without attention, the offensive posters tend to disappear over
time.  I've got a couple of people in my KILL files who just don't
seem to be present here any more.

I've always resisted posting the FAQ more often mainly because of
the gatewaying of the newsgroup to the SWL-L mailing list.  I rethink
the issue periodically, though.  Given the ever-increasing volume
of this newsgroup, I'm not sure any more that posting twice a
month instead of monthly would provide a significant increase in
input to SWL-L subscribers' mailboxes.

As for reworking the FAQ into smaller portions, I'm not sure what that
would accomplish.  I've tried to keep it fairly short as is, and
compared to what I see in other newsgroups, I think I've succeeded
(anyone for a 12-part 20000-line FAQ? :-)  But I'm willing to be
convinced.  I need to rework the FAQ anyway.  I wrote it originally
at a time when most newbie queries here came from grad students in
the U.S. wanting to hear radio from home.  I don't think that's an
accurate profile of the archtypal newbie here any more.

Sounds like the perennial lament of my chosen profession, technical
writing.  :-)  There's a reason the main FTP archive of Usenet FAQs
is called rtfm.mit.edu.... :-)

   Zoom Black Magic was the first pirate station to broadcast
openly in defiance of the FCC (in both Seaside and Fresno,
California) and even showed up once in the Arbitron ratings.
Zoom has had numerous run-ins with the FCC but is still on
the air semi-regularly in Fresno and, from time to time, in Los
Angeles.
   If you'd like to receive a copy of Zoomin', the official Zoom
Black Magic newsletter, just email back your postal address.

Most cheap digital sets have gaps in coverage. It makes the RF circuits
less expensive to produce.

My first receiver was also a DX-440, and I found it OK, considering it AS a
beginner's receiver.  Mine also lasted about 3 years, which was enough time to

save up for a tabletop receiver (Drake R8).
After the DX-440 went foom, I looked around for another portable, and this
time bought a Sangean ATS-803A--Sangean's designation for what Radio Shack
re-labels as the DX-440.  So, Cathy, yes, it is made by Sangean.  I bought it
from a catalog, and it was MUCH cheaper than what RS sold the DX-440 for.
Now, what I can't remember is whether they are still available--I think I
heard that Sangean stopped making them.  Anyone?

Try asking on rec.radio.amateur.policy or rec.radio.amateur.misc,
depending on your direction. The subjects at hand for rec.radio.shortwave

Oddly enough, you can get lots of shortwave broadcasters from C-SPAN
(their audio stations, if your cable system carries them) -- but I
don't think it works the other way.

I'd recommend the latest edition of "Shortwave Directory" by Bob Grove.
It has military freqs as well as freqs for controlling commercial
aircraft on transatlantic flights. In the meantime, some general aero
freqs you might pay attention to are:

2.1820 international distress and calling
5.6800 search and rescue
5.6960 Coast Guard search and rescue
8.3640 search and rescue

The closest thing to "police" freqs on SW would be investigating Coast
Guard drug interdiction freqs along with the DEA and U.S. Customs
Service. "The 'Top Secret' Registry of U.S. Government Radio Frequencies"
by Tom Kneitel would help there. It's mostly VHF/UHF, but has HF also.

You might check utility loggings in various magazine publications to find
active freqs (Popular Communications, Monitoring Times etc.).

Try an indoor active antenna if you cannot erect one outside.

Radio Shack has a nice one for $29.99.  You may need to get an adaptor for
the ext. ant. jack.

E-mail me if u need more help.  i have serveral addresses where you can
get other antenna.

That's true. I can't enumerate all frequencies of the number stations
(because there are so many MW radio stations in N. Korea...all of them are
24 hours in service), they are listened to every night here in Tokyo.
Mostly from 0000 for 30 - 40 minutes a female announcer reads enigmatic
numbers in Korean. Her voice sounds gruesome, as though a robot which is
installed a kind of sound machine with sampled female Korean voice,
putting a curse on whole Japan islands from the depth of hell.

It is said that North Korean agents entered in Japan in some illegal way
have been handed a small radio and number table beforehand at the moment
they left North Korea.

The kind of clandestine numbers transmission aren't rare around
Japan...not only connection with Korean peninsula but centering on Taiwan
channel.

Great signal of their English broadcast at 2030 on 11805 with news.  A much

The advantage of the outdoor antenna over the same antenna enclosed
in a wood frame house is that (it is presumed that) the outdoor
antenna can be run so that it avoids the power lines that the
indoor antenna would have around it.  The qualitative result is
less noise with the oudoor version of the same antenna, a higher
signal to noise ratio, and better reception of weaker signals.

I think trouble is right as far as BBC Worldwide goes. I've subscribed
for almost a year and WILL NOT be renewing my subscription. The December
(or Jan?) issue hazs an editorial about how they had had requests to make
the magazine "more portable" and this together with rising costs had
prompted them to reduce the size of the magazine. Its a huge reduction;
now only 3-4 articles, a couple of features, the schedules and a couple of
regulars. The Jan issue is 66 pages including 20 full page ads and
many half page ones. I've had bigger advertising catalogs in the mail for
free. The excuse of "more portable" would be laughable if I wsan't paying
for it. BIG mistake BBC as I'm sure you will learn when current
subscribers fail to renew in droves. I'll get my schedules from the net
from now on.

Try sending in a coupon from the Passport Guide to World Band Radio.  I did
so and got a subscription for 24 pounds sterling (converted to $37.74 by my
credit card company), which seemed much cheaper than the $49 that I had seen
it advertised in the US.  I also got a free rubbishy world time clock that's
actually decent to keep near one's SW radio.

Unfortunately my first issue was the January one, and I'm very disappointed.
If they put the programme blurbs on the web site I wouldn't even buy the darn
magazine any more.  Even then I might let my subscription lapse...

Here's a couple clues for Auntie:

1.  Bring back _London Calling_.  It was simple, elegant, and did its job
nicely with a minimum of fuss.

2.  A *real* paper-saving measure: Get rid of that asinine
breaking-the-signal-into-five-different-feeds scheme.  Part of the joy of
shortwave listening is the ability to hear several different frequencies,
some of which aren't even aimed to your area but at times come in clearer
than the signals which are.  This gets annoying when you try a European
or African frequency only to hear something different--if anything.

I remember when LC was a two-color rag with mostly text and a few
illustrations here and there, and BBCWS would send you these gigantic
wall charts with the programming times and days for every month of the year.
A frequency guide to all areas was also included.  OF course, back then
you could conceivably tune three radios to three different frequencies,
hear the same program but each one had different levels of delay...one
feed would fade out and the announcer would start talking while the other
two feeds were still playing the program..then they too would fade and
the announcer would be on all three frequencies, in sync.  Yeah, I was
bored as a kid. :)

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

Good luck!

Sounds like you're getting images.  Images are the undesired products from (on
e
of) the  mixing stage(s) of the radio.  The actual frequency may have been
twice the radio's IF higher than the frequencies that you're getting them on.
Typically IFs are somewhere in the range of 450 to 455kc, making the
"actual" frequency between 900 to 910kc higher.  I know that RFI uses 9805,
which is close (for all intents and purposes).

Hi Elizabeth,

It sounds like you might be hearing images. If it's an image, then you'll prob
ably
find the stations actually transmitting 910 kHz above the image, since most SW
radios use a 455 kHz IF (intermediate frequency). The DX-392 might be a single
conversion design. Single conversion radios are more prone to images than
double conversion.

A couple of things to try include:

1) Use a preselector or tuner between the antenna and radio.

2) Reduce the RF gain if it's adjustable, shorten the antenna, or use an atten
uator.

I haven't used the SW-8, but it probably has very good image rejection.

I often wish our cable company in Woodbury would carry WRN, but they
probably have no clue what it is. We do have Univision, though, thanks to
a co-worker of mine, a native of Brazil, who also lived in Woodbury when
cable was first installed and petitioned the cable company to carry it.

Oh well, in the Twin Cities you can still listen to BBC World Service on
KNOW-FM 91.1 between 12 midnight and 4 AM daily. I also saw posted here
that if someone were to donate satellite equipment to them, KTCA-TV,
Channel 2, was thinking about putting WRN on their SAP channel.

There have been other postings about static discharge problems.
As I recall, a way to protect yourself that was suggested (and I
haven't tried it, so I don't know for sure) is to install four
1N914/4148 (Radio Shack 276-1122) diodes as follows:

                                 _____
                                 \   /

                               A        V
                               |        |
                               |        |
                               A        V
                               |        |
                               |________|
                                   |
                                   |
                                 __|__
            receiver ground -->   ___
                                   _

           Were:    A is a diode "pointing up"
                    V is a diode "pointing down"


Here is a less elegant method that _may_ finesse the static problem
for you:
          1. Avoid static prone clothing like wool, synthetic
             fibers, etc, while handling your receiver.

          2. Never handle your receiver, unless you are barefoot.

The inelegant method has worked for me, when chips under test were
being blown due to static discharges from misdirected fingertips.
However, let me emphasize that I THINK THE DIODES might be A
BETTER, MORE PERMANENT, AND MUCH MORE RELIABLE SOLUTION.

Incidentally, IMHO there is no excuse for a design to allow a part of
the receiver that will be handled by electrically-naive purchasers to
be subject to damage by ordinary, household levels of static electricity.

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

That sounds a bit too expensive to me.  There is nothing magic

That _may_ be alright, but read on.


Hi there Minhhuy,

Generally, I prefer to buy adapters that have only one output
voltage, to minimize the possibility of applying too large a
voltage and damaging the radio.  However, _if_ the ICF-7700
requires an external 12 VDC source (I'm not familiar with the 7700,
and I _don't_ know), the adapter you have in mind _could_ be
suitable, because you are not likely to damage the receiver
accidentally, by supplying it too little voltage.


WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING any AC TO DC ADAPTOR

1.  PRIMARY POWER SOURCE.  What are the voltage, frequency, and the
configuration of the plug of the power being supplied as _input_
to the adaptor.

2.  RECEIVER'S RATED EXTERNAL DC VOLTAGE (nominal and maximum),
AND CURRENT.  The nominal voltage probably is an _exact_ multiple
of 1.5 volts.  The maximum allowable voltage is somewhat greater
than the nominal voltage.  The current usually is expressed as a
number of milliamperes (ma).  IMHO, the no-load voltage of the
adaptor should not exceed the maximum allowable voltage.

The information you need _should_ be given in your receiver's
instruction manual (look under external power source, or under
specifications).  Not all manufacturers give the information, even
though they should.

3.  RECEIVER'S DC INPUT CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION.  What type of
connector does your receiver have, which is the positive "pin" and
which "pin" is the negative pin.

Most receiver's use coaxial DC power connectors (reference page 139
of the Radio Shack 1996 Catalog), but others are possible.
Sometimes the connector is specified in your receiver's instruction
manual.  If not, you can usually determine whether an adaptor's DC
connector will mate with the receiver's DC connector, by trying
_gently_ to insert one into the other, WITH INPUT AC POWER
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ADAPTOR.

The next thing you must determine is which pin is which.  This may
appear in your receiver's instruction book.  Sometimes the
information is molded int the receiver's case (or possibly printed
on the case) near the power connector.  Coaxial connectors are
represented by a dot, shown _here_ as "@" , inside a C-like shape
(forward or backward) shown here as a ")" .  The two possibilities
are:
       + -----@)----- -   indicates that the inner part of the
                          connector is the positive connection.

       - -----@)----- +   indicates that the inner part of the
                          connector is the negative connection.

4.  RECEIVER'S HUM LEVEL.  At home, power the receiver with the
adaptor and listen to the receiver in a _quiet_ house.  Use
earphones, if you _ever_ intend to use earphones.  IMHO, _if_ you
hear a hum level that _you_ consider to be excessive you ought to
return the adaptor and get a refund.

If I can answer anything else, feel free to E-mail me.  I'll do my
best to confuse you completely (;-).

Hey!
        I recently received a Sony ICF-2010 for my christmas present.
At the same time my trusty old AN-102 Active Antenna died. Is there a
better active antenna (portable) for the Sony besides this one that
is within the $80-100 price range? WHat do you think of the AN-102?
I've had alot of good success using it with my old ICF=2003.

If you live in the West-coast or in Europe, try these frequencies,
from the North Atlantic region (03.00 UTC - 07.00 UTC):
  2872Khz (aircrafts registered East of 30W)
  2899    (aircrafts registered West of 30W)
  3016    (aircrafts using the New-York and Santa maria sectors)

All these frequencies are Upper Side Band.

Well it's been alittle over one year now and SWLOGit has grown with many
request from users.

SWLOGit has to be the ONLY software shortwave listeners will ever need
to use. This software package is not just a logger but a toolbox of
tools to be used to help out the listener get more enjoyment out of the
hobby. SWLOGit is just full of options and tools to be used, below you
will find a quick run-down on some of the many features that are
included.


 - Extensive SW Logger:
        Options to record: Frequency, Start/End Time, Date, Modes,
        Country, Language, SINPO, Transmitter Location, Comments, and
        many more.
 - Extensive Search option:
        Search for any of the above in the database.
        User definable DB sorting.
 -  Multiple databases:
        One for Ute's, General Broadcasts, or MW. User creates his/her
        own database files.
 - Schedule Database:  *NEW*
        Keep track of broadcasters transmitting schedules. There is
        a vast amount of room to enter needed information. Users can
        fill in information for: Broadcasters ID, Transmitting Target,
        Program type, Days of the week of operation, 10 Frequencies,
        Modes, Targets, Language. And much more.
      - With the press of one key users can have the program lookup whats
        on the air at the current time.
      - Search the database for any frequency, time, day of the week,
        country and more.
      - Multiple databases. An example would be to have a database for
        general broacasters and/or another for Wefax broadcasts.
      - Import Tom Sunstroms Schedule database files.
 - MUF/LUF Graphs:
        Plot out 24 hrs of MUF/LUF predictions.
 - MUF/LUF Maps, and MUF/LUF prediction:
        Plots out an entire world map with MUF or LUF in a color coded
        format. View MUF/LUF patterns, find the hot spots.
 - Sun Terminator.
 - Station address database.
        Over 120 SW station address in the database.
 - Report Writer:

Modern shortwave receivers are very sensitive.  Often modern
receivers have untuned front-ends that are easily overloaded, both
by strong signals on or near the frequency of interest and by
strong signals on frequencies well away from the frequency of
interest.  Often modern receivers are intolerant of nearby
discharges of static electricity, not only outdoors from
atmospheric electricity, but sometimes also from the discharge of
normal household static electricity from your finger tip to your
whip antenna or your external antenna connector.  [Several postings
to rec.radio.shortwave deal with which receivers are particularly
vulnerable, and how to protect them.]

Depending on what receiver you have and on what you want to listen
to, a short indoor whip antenna (perhaps the one built onto your
receiver) or a short attic-mounted antenna can be sufficient.
You might want to try the whip, and/or a short indoor wire.
However, outdoor antennas are more vulnerable to atmospheric static
electricity, which may damage your receiver.  If reception is not
as good as you'd like it to be, you might want to try to improve
the reception by adding a good ground.  Try a wire run directly
from your receiver to 4 to 6 feet of rod driven into the earth.

On the other hand, you might want to use an outdoor antenna
regardless of how long or how short the antenna is.  Getting the
antenna out of the house and away from the power lines should
result in less received noise and better reception.  However,
outdoor antennas are more vulnerable to atmospheric static
electricity, which may damage your receiver.  If you opt for an
outdoor antenna, take steps to guard against the static discharges.
Disconnect the antenna from your receiver and connect the antenna
to ground, when the receiver is not in use.  Don't use the receiver
during stormy weather.  Check previous posting to
rec.radio.shortwave for other protection that may be required.
Note well:  A TRADITIONAL SPARK-GAP LIGHTENING ARRESTOR WILL NOT
PROTECT A MODERN solid-state RECEIVER.

Tradition says that, all other things being equal, you should get
as much wire up as you can, as high as you can.  But all things
are not always equal.  Depending on the design of your receiver,
it is quite possible that too long a wire will result in more
signal reaching your receiver's front-end, than the front-end can
handle comfortably.  This may result in an apparent loss of
sensitivity and/or in "images" of signals appearing as you tune
through frequencies where the signals are not.  It may be necessary
to add an attenuator, a filter, or a preselector between your
antenna and your receiver, to get rid of some of the signal.

  I'm looking to get in contact with other Time Station Dxers for
exchanging information and tips.

  From my first experiences with Shortwave, these stations have always
held a certain "fascination" as DX targets because of the difficulty in
hearing (and QSLing) them all.

  I've heard most of them but there are a few that have remained elusive
due to listening in the wrong place/wrong time/propagation/etc.

  Let's do some time....

That's why I put it on *tape*, because I knew I was tied up with
work, though I paid sporadic attention to it in the background
while I was working.

Of the several lists I subscribe to, this is the only one that I have seen

noticed that some of my regularly corresponding friends from the east coast

1.  coincidence
2.  my internet provider
3.  the big winter storm that recently hammered the mid & eastern US.

Anyone else out there noticing any 'glitches'?  Thanks.

Don't forget Richard Branson's attempt too (or the Dutch one).  No
frequencies known yet, but the Branson trip will be equipped with
telephone, fax and even e-mail.  You would have thought that there
would be an HF rig somewhere, but maybe they have used all the space
up.  They could always re-tune the microwave oven they use to heat
their space-food.

The BBC broadcast in Dutch between 1940 and 1957.

consisted of "BBC Infos" - programmes made for rebroadcast by local stations
in France.

Yes I'll NEVER forget when Radio Canada read my letter several years

I was wondering If any of you could help me out,with the problem of
choosing
a scanner/Satellite SCPC receiver and a Shortwave receiver for under $1000
combined.The type of scanner I am looking for is one that has at least 250
memories,at least 50ch/sec scanning speed,and can tune in WFM from 950
Mhz-
1450 Mhz.I have tried out the AOR AR-8000 and was disappointed with the
imaging problem.I was trying to tune in SCPC signals with the receiver
connected to the Satellite LNB,and instead I was getting Cellular and
General Mobile signals in the 1200 Mhz - 1450 Mhz range.I need a receiver
with NO IMAGES in the 950 Mhz- 1450 Mhz range.Now too the ShortWave
receiver.I would like a shortwave receiver with good sensitivity
especially on SSB frequencies.I would also like a receiver with strong
CLEAR audio.It is a must that the receiver have at least 100 memory
channels.It would also be nice to have a preamp,atenuator,RF Fine
tuning,and a Selectable AGC.I really like the Specs of the Grundig
Satellit 700,but I've seen some postings saying that it is only a FAIR
radio.Any information that you could give me would help.



                                        Thanks,

I have on the other hand fitted both and as I am in Adelaide, south
australia I need the narrow to get the signals out of the noise.  I seldom
use the wide filter I usually use the narrow and think it is great.  Also
have the diodes fitted too.

I assume we are talking about the Kiwa filter set. I installed both the
wide and narrow filters in my 2010 some time ago. The wide filter was
inexpensive, easy to install and IMHO absolutely necessary for the 2010.
The narrow filter was expensive, difficult to install and has given very
muddy and unsatisfactory performance.

My advice is that you replace the wide filter and forget the narrow one.

Back on December 12 I sent an E-mail letter to the Canadian
Prime Minister with my reasons why I thought RCI should be
saved from the axe.  Today, via snail mail, I received a
reply from an assistant saying my letter had been reviewed
and forwarded to the Honourable Michel Dupuy, Minister of
Canadian Heritage for his consideration.

If you have not yet sent your letter in support of RCI, it
is not too late.  You might want to direct it to Mr. Dupuy.
The letterhead address was Ottawa, Canada, K1A OA2.

The original E-mail address I used was:

This address goes to a computer operated by the IEEE where
the message is converted to a FAX that is then automatically
sent to the Prime Minister's fax machine.

From Broadcasting & Cable, Jan. 8, 1996:

Children's Broadcasting Corp. has filed a letter of intent to
purchase WJDM(AM) Elizabeth, N. J., from owner John Quinn and may
begin broadcasting its 24-hour "Radio Aahs" children's format on the
expanded-band AM station as early as Feb. 1.

The purchase price for WJDM, which broadcasts weekdays on 1530 AM and
evenings and weekends on its expanded-band 1660 AM frequency, is
$11.5 million, according to a CBC official.  CBC plans to fund the
purchase in part with proceeds form the public sale of 5 million
shares of common stock the company will offer later this year.

CBC plans to broadcast Radio Aahs 24 hours a day on 1660, and ethnic
and community programming weekdays on 1530.

RU>11.5 M ! I think your decimal point must be misplaced

Fraid not. They've convinced someone that it's a New York station.
Radio World has a cover article with a picture of the Empire State
Building and Radio Business Report refers to it as "WJDM, New York."
The fact that I can't receive it anywhere in Manhattan doesn't seem to
bother anyone.

It occurs to me that one of the most prominent figures in the history of
pirate radio has just died. I refer, of course, to Francois Mitterand. I
seem to remember (I think it was either via BBCWS or the Christian
Science Monitor) that about a year before he became president, he was
called in by the gendarmerie in connection with a socialist pirate
station. This was at a time when broadcast media in France was pretty
well under the thumb of the government and the only way that the
opposition could get any time on the air was to make their own station.

Could someone post any details?

My father lives in Michigan and his DX-390 can't pick up even one tenth
of what I can get here on the east cost. I tried to help and installed
a $10 "long wire" from Radio Shack. Unfortunately there was a very
little improvement.  Considering the fact that the back yard there is
rather small one, what would be the best antenna for the area my father
lives in?

Summary: DX-440 loss of sensitivity??

Hi there,

My DX-440 seems to work great (lots of sensitivity) on the normal AM/FM
bands, but the reception of anything above about 5 MHz on the other bands
seems about nil. Is this just a bad time of year to receive on the SW bands or

is something perhaps broken? I seem to remember hearing that this model had an

occasional probelm with the input FET -  would this be the symptom? This is
all with the built-in rod antenna - I have yet to hook up to an external
antenna. It just seems like it used to work a lot better in the past.

Does Radio Shack sell a service manual for this?  Any ideas?

Thanks for any and all responses.

Oh man, hook up an external antenna and then see how it sounds. Clip ten or
more feet of wire to the antenna and give it a listen. Tune from about 5900 to
6200.

They have indeed stopped making this model, at least with the Sangean
name on it. This is my current model.
GOOD: does everything better than most anything for the money.
BAD: unforunately, in SW, that doesn't mean much. Ergonomically, it
stinks. 9 presets; you can't see any controls in the dark; the audio is
tinny; the antenna falls over after a few months; AND -- the AM-FM on my
$39 GE Superradio is 5 times better in capture and audio quality.

My advice: skip the "first radio" syndrome. Buy a Grundig 700.

Best,

Gerry

Aloha....

As promised in a former article, here is the info regarding great
circle computational programs on the 'Net:

        Location:  Navigation Archive Directory
                   http://www.ronin.com/navigation/archives.html

I found a couple of good programs there.  One, called "Bearing"
has a table full of callsign prefixes (ham) and latlon for many
cities worldwide.  It does calculate bearing, but seems to not
enjoy crossing the date line and gives strange results there.
However, it seems OK if you are not crossing the line, and its
database of coordinates is a great reference.

My favorite is ANSER's "Way2go", in which you type in coordinates,
either decimal form or DMS and you can compute the bearing and
distance.  Or if you know the bearing and distance and the origin,
you can get the target coordinates.  Anyway, it works the best and
gives good results, even over the date line.  I generally pull up
Bearing and get my coordinates from them and use Way2go for the
computation.  Both files are shareware and are $7 and $15
respectively.  Out here in the Pacific, such programs are well
worth it for me, as I do not have a Great Circle Map.

If anyone finds these useful, I'd be interested to know.

Happy DX....

For the past several nights, sensational conditions to the Northwest have
been noted in the midwest. Some stations that have been heard include:
CJWW-600 Saskatoon, SK; CBX-740 Edmonton, AB; CBR-1010 Calgary, AB;
CKWX-1130 Vancouver, BC; CFXL-1140 Calgary, AB; CFYM-1210 Kindersley, SK;
CKQR-760 Castlegar, BC; CFUN-1410 Vancouver, BC. The big highlight for me
was logging CJDC-890 Dawson Creek, BC here in Chicago, with WLS on !!!
This was accomplished with a Radio West Loop antenna, a 175' center tapped
N-S wire & a phasing unit. I couldn't completely get rid of WLS, but was
able to reduce their signal sufficiently to ID CJDC.  73 de Robert Kramer

To those of you, who may have wondered if Grove Enterprises' had shipped
the 96' WRTVH, for pre-pub orders, theres' still hope!
The 96 edition was to have been shipped to us (here in Brasstown) on Jan.
5th. Due to the snow, ect of last week things were boggled down somewhat.
We hope to have the shipments to us by Wed. the 17th.
Hope this clears up all your questions.
Best of DX!

Someone from Grove posted a message here yesterday. They said that they
got the WRTH late because of the snow. I suppose they didn't get the
sort of snow that they get in Maine or Wisconsin every year but then
their county probably doesn't have the snow plows either.

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

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

Good Luck,

Perhaps by now you have been advised of the various detailed
review "White Papers" on the receivers you mentioned, as well
as myriad others offered by Larry Magne's Passport to World Band
Radio.  These RDI (Radio Database Int'l) papers are upwards to
25-30 sheets long.  They run about $6.00  Call 1 [phone]
Don't tell who referred you, though, or Larry might charge you double.

I find it kind of strange that people can find rec.radio.shortwave but
can't even find rec.radio.scanner or alt.radio.scanner
I mean what's the problem here? Too lazy to search for scanner in the news
program? You shouldn't have answered the question, people have to take a
little initiative to find what they are looking for.

rec.radio.scanner is supposed to replace alt.radio.scanner

As a result, many sites do not carry alt.radio.scanner, or alias it to
rec.radio.scanner

Therefore a post on the alt newsgroup will not have the intended audience.

I have a 12 year old Kenwood R-1000, purchased new.  A few months ago, it bega
n to
display "33.284" when the MHZ band switch was switched above 21 mHz.  Along wi
th this
frequency display lockup, the receiver becomes inoperative.  Twiddling the tun
ing
knob (VFO), the receiver "comes back to life" and is like normal.

Now, this occurrs when switched above 7 MHz, and the receiver does NOT come ba
ck to
life anymore.  So, I can now only listen to this rig below 8 MHz (luckily, I h
ave
several other SW rcvrs...)

Have any other Kenwood R1000 owners experienced this problem, and if
so, have any of you either found a fix for this or can point me to
someone who can repair this problem.

I think it has something to do with the VFO--perhaps the connectors
have over the years have built up deposits and are not conducting the
VFO signal to the freq. synthisizer
section.

I have the detailed service manual for this rig and'll try to look into
the problem,
but if any of you Knwd R-100 owners have advice, please e-mail me to:

[e-mail]

No need to post it to RRS unless you want others to see your "fix"
advice.  Many Thanks!

Haven't received any mail from US for a while.
What is actually the situation in the US Mail?  Are they
suffering from the budget cuts and the fight between president
Clinton and the congress?
What has the winter storm done to mail?  According to Finnish
TV both Scandinavian air lines and Finnair have
cancelled flights to North America because of weather conditions.  Does
this mean that mail services between North America and Europe are
in troubles?

Yes, this design is excellent and uses inductive coupling to the
set's internal ferrite rod.  Thus I imagine it will not work with
those comm. receivers with no internal antenna, such as the Drake
R8; yet I use a 12" homemade loop and inductively couple it to an
AOR Active ferrite loop antenna and it works well.  The flatter
you get the loop (narrow turns, larger circumference, like a
pancake) the better it will be for direction finding, which is
very useful in determining where stations are.

This loop is the same design of the Select-a-Tenna, which runs
for about $70 or so.  The active Kiwa (a future purchase of mine)
is $350 + shipping.  Kiwa is on the net and has a nice description
of the loop and other products, and pictures.

Now my question, does anyone know a good place to order broadcast
capacitors -- that cover up to 1700 kHz?  I don't think there is
any good store in Hawai'i that actually has them.  I used to get
mine from Electronics Plus in Beltsville, MD when I used to live
in the Washington "snow haven" area.

Also, as far as DFing goes, I have been looking for a great-circle
map centered on Honolulu; if anyone has one that they don't need
anymore, please let me know at [e-mail].  Also, I found
a couple of great circle computation programs on the net which
are good use in DF computation -- next post I will give the site
when I find out what it is, that is if there is an interest.  I
forgot the site but will look for it again.

Probably CBC in Canada. They rebroadcast a number of shortwave programs
between 0100 and 0600 local time on AM stations across Canada, including
the BBC, DW, Radio Australia, Radio Nederland.

This is almost definately WOI Ames, IA. They frequently carry programs
from external broadcast services. I have heard them with BBC programming
in the past. While CBC is slightly possible, WOI is the one I would bet
on.

I am considering the purchase of a Zenth Transoceanic radio.  I have the
opportunity to purchase one of the following units.  I am not
electronically inclined so maintenance is a concern.  Which of the
following would be a more appropriate choice for a listener who enjoys
broadcast SWL and domestic MW?  Tone is an important consideration as is
stability.

8G005? vs. G500 vs. H500

Thanks for any help on this matter.

hello,
        if I'm posting to the wrong place I apologize.  I have a small
sony shortwave radio ..one of the ones smaller then a walkman which picks
up fm too.  Its about 5 years old now and the only use I've found for it
is as an alarmclock.  I'm in Toronto and all searches for anything
usually come up null.  Is it possible to pick up the BBC ? (and I don't
mean from a local stations news feed ?)  The frequency handbook which
came with it really yealds nothing.  O yes..and if I was to upgrade to
another radio,  how does Grundig compare to sony SW radios ?

thanks in advance
khan

Grundig is one of the world's best manufacturers of shortwave
portables, a fine choice indeed!

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

also, is the DX-395 a Sangean? and are there any mods available for it?

Rescuers Rush To Sinking Ship

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) -- Battling the clock, rescue units rushed
Wednesday night to reach 24 sailors aboard a ore freighter sinking in the
North Atlantic in 30-foot waves and high winds.

There was no immediate indication if any of the sailors were injured or
how fast the ship was sinking. Canadian Coast Guard and U.S. air units
prepared Wednesday night to leave for the Greek-owned Amphion, foundering
about 500 miles off Newfoundland. The ship issued its first distress call
at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, but help isn't expected until 2:30 a.m Thursday
at the earliest.  "They're still taking in water, and they don't think
they're going to salvage the (craft)," Canadian Coast Guard Capt. Perry
Kurzynski said Wednesday night.

The ship, a bulk carrier almost the length of two football fields, was
damaged by the storm that blanketed the East Coast with snow earlier this
week. The same storm has hindered rescuers.  A Coast Guard ship expected
to reach the Amphion early Thursday would try to rescue the crew using a
large inflatable raft, said Dan Bedell, a guard spokesman in Halifax. He
said rescuers would have only a short window of opportunity Thursday
morning to get the crew to safety before another storm moved into the area
Thursday afternoon.

The U.S. military also was preparing to help. A U.S. Air National Guard
unit in Westhampton Beach, N.Y., was to leave for the scene early
Thursday.  The 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard will
send two helicopters and 25 people at about 5 a.m. Thursday. The aircraft
will fly nine hours to St. John's, Newfoundland, to rest and refuel before
making the five-hour flight to the scene.  They are expected to arrive at
8 a.m. Friday.  A C-130 from the Marine Corps Reserve in Newburgh, N.Y.,
will accompany the helicopters.

I have an old Panasonic RF-2900 SW receiver. I've noticed lately
that the bandswitch doesn't work very well. When I switch it
to a different band I have to wiggle the switch a little to get it
to work properly. I opened the receiver and there is a LONG
slider type switch inside. Has anyone else experienced this
problem ? It looks like the switch could possibly be disassembled
for cleaning of the contacts but it would be a tough job.
Spraying a little contact (tuner) cleaner seems to help a little
but its difficult to tell if the cleaner is even getting to
all the contacts.
Thanks,
Mike White

I've had the same problem with my old Panasonic (I think it's a 2600,
everything I own is in boxes after a move).

To clean it you will need contact cleaner or TV Tuner Cleaner or
some similar spray electrical contact cleaner, preferably the
kind with a lubricant (made for switches, not something like WD40).

I have found that you can't get the spray in from the front of
the receiver, because the shaft actually actuates a long slider
switch mounted on the back of a circuit board (at least in my
radio).  The only way to clean it was to take the back off, and
remove anything else that blocks clear access to the switch.  You
then can spray the cleaner in directly and work the switch back and
forth vigorously several times.

A couple of cleanings like this should fix the problem for a while
(months to years depending on the state of the radio and how dirty
your environment is).

Quite frankly, the quality of this generation of radios is only
so-so, though with a little care they can still be quite satisfactory
for casual listening.

Mine is small (about the size of a paperback book) and has a bfo which
receives SSB quite well.  Two friends have the same rig, and we all like
them.  I recommend it for a small, basic all-purpose rig.  Great FM,
too, but not in stereo.  Sells for $150 locally.

        I have one new in the box that I have never even unpacked.

        I'm wondering if anyone want$ one badly enough for me to
        consider $elling it?  :-)

        Also possibly available:

                Pomtrex portable
                GE Super Radio II
                Silent Play
                Sony 2001
                Uniden 2021

        Why would I consider getting rid of all these neat-o
        collectables?

        My brother gave me an R-390a for Christmas - best
        brother in the world!!!  -  and with six kids, I need
        the extra cash to get it tweaked to perfection.

        Imagine my surprise when a big 85 pound package arrived
        from Fair Radio.   I assumed it was a collection of junk
        for my son to tear apart and learn on - as my brother had
        told me that what he got my son was not a toy (and his wife
        wondered why he would even consider such an item for a
        12 year old), but he wouldn't tell me what and I assumed
        this was it.

        As it turned out the 12 year old's gift was a snake light.
        Perfectly matched to a 12 year old I thought.  (I got an Ungar
        Imperial soldering iron in tourqoise for my 12th birthday -
        actually I got some money and I wanted nothing more than
        that new type of soldering iron.  I made a pilgrimage to
        Burnstein-Applebee in Kansas city on a regular basis to
        look at nippers and pliers and Imperial irons...  (not to
        mention the new radios from Drake and National) This
        was the early '60s.

        Anyway, imagine my surprize when I opened the box.  I only
        had to see the top edge of the front panel to recognize
        something I thought I would never own - it even still had
        the meters!  (one of which still glows in the light! :-))
        I was reduced to tears.  I repeat - best brother in the
        world!

Radio China @0330 on 11715 is from Bamako, Mali transmitter
Radio Japan @ 0600 on 17810 is from Japan, Tokyo-Yamata transmitter
4976 should be R. Uganda, they come on at 0400 in English
9780 variable, should be Rep. of Yemen Radio in Arabic @ 0300-0600

9780 @2230 I have no Idea.

George Thurman posted a message recently that he thought 9505 should have
been 9550.  I haven't noticed anything there either though.  I have picked
up the parallel at 22 on 6180, but that one's to the Americas I think.

Another problem could've been the crappy propagation we've been having.
But, coming from the South, there shouldn't have been a problem.

I was listining to an extrememly right wing radio station the other
night (morning actually) I can't remember the freq.  It was in
the 5-6 MHz range.

The announcer had a very distinctive voice.  They were talking about
George Bush being a child molester/raper, operation Watchtower
(CIA drug running) and Desert Storm.

Can someone tell me what this station is?  Radio Freedom?

The George Bush as child molester segment was on Brother Stair's program, so
you likely heard WWCR on their 5065 freq. Brother Stair is a piece of work. He
does NOT like Fundie Xtians.

The Canadian government has decided to cut funding to Radio Canada
International. For those of you
unfamiliar with RCI, it is the shortwave outlet for the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, bringing the rest
of the world some of the best radio programming in the world. Ending 50
years of shortwave broadcasts
would be a tragedy, and I am committed to making sure this doesn't
happen.

Check out my web site at:


http://www.clark.net/pub/fervor/rci.htm

This goes into much greater detail about the closure than I can in this
message. If you do not have
convenient web access, email The Honourable Jean Chretien at:


remote-printer.Jean_Chretien@0.0.9.6.1.4.9.3.1.6.1.tpc.int

I know it is a long and miserable address, but it will send a fax to the
Canadian Prime Minister's desk. Please
include your name and snail mail address in the correspondence. Radio
Canada will fall silent on March
31st. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!

A few days ago I reposted a e-mail message that I received from Arnie Coro
at Radio Havana regarding some frequency changes.  It mentioned that RHC
would move from 11,705 to 9505 Kh'z at 2100 UTC for its English programe
to Europe.  This may have been a typo on RHCs' part, because I have noticed
the program to be on 9550..NOT 9505.

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

There was an anonymous tip posted several weeks ago that the station
was on 9670 - I don't remember the exact time - it seems it was
around 1600 UTC.  The poster claimed it was via Polish Radio, Warsaw.

Any chance it is, instead, via Radio Trans Europe in Portugal?

Hi everyone.
I have a Kenwood R-2000 that is about 6 years old and would like to know
if anybody has any information about possible modifications for
improvement of its performance, I've seen many mods info for other radios
from BBSs or similar but none for the R-2000.
would also apperciate any mods info for a BC-760 XLT, It tried a couple
from some BBS already but did not work
Thanks in advance

I thought I let you all know about my misfourtune buying NiCds for my
radio from Radio Scrap.  I picked up 6 D Cell Enercell NiCds.  I found
they have a very short run time.  After my 2 yr old son dropped one, I
found out why - it is a C cell with a spacer to make it fit a D cell!
There D cells are not D cells, just C cells with a spacer!   That
explains why they don't last.  I won't be buying anymore NiCds from
Radio "ripoff" Scrap.

Why not? They're quite honest about it. In the catalog they show
identical capacities for standard C and D NiCd's: 1.6 Ah. If you want
more, go with the 4.3 Ah "HI-CAPACITY" version. Of course the better
ones cost more.

Radio Shack aren't the only folks who do this: Eveready's standard
capacity NiCd D cell is only 1.2 Ah (again, same as their C), and costs
more than twice as much as the standard RS cell.

Many (nearly all) D-cell nicads are the same capacity as C-cell nicads.  As
you noted, they just build up the case a bit.  This practice did not begin
with Radio Shack.  I've seen them from all the major players.  There are
true d-cells available, look at the mA/Hr discharge rating to tell the
difference.  Also, the weight of a nicad is nearly proportional to it's
capacity.  That's handy when looking for the best battery pack for a laptop
or the like.

Please don't misunderstand this follow-up, I think Radio Shack sells some
of the worst quality electronic products avaiable.  Don't even ask me what
I think of their radios.  Yea-yea I know, many are built by name brands,
but under contract.  The name brand doesn't have name exposure and will cut
whatever corners asked by RS.  Go ahead and flame me if you must, we need
the warmth in Oregon.

Dick,

  I enjoy listening to RCI's broadcasts.   There are several programs
I listen to regularly.

  Being in the western world, there may be arguments about use of
other technology, and the ineffectiveness of shortwave radio, but
there are a lot of places in the world that don't have access to many
of the communicatiosn modes we are accustomed to.  These people may
have a radio as their only link to the world.

  I also get a kick out of pulling a new station out of the ether.  It
is satisfying to hear a station from the other side of the world, or
even from a few hundred miles away.  Being a gadgeteer, there is a lot
of fun in twiddling the dials and switches on the radio to get the
perfect reception.

  I sincerely hope Canada can keep RCI alive.

From my own frustrating experience dealing with Sony on design deficiencies
on previous models, I don't think there's chance in hell of that ever happenin

I own both radios.
I use the R8 as my first rx, for general listening and utility.
The R8 is almost for professional use, with all the operative mode it has,
like PassBand offset, AGC off/slow/fast, notch, vfo and memory scan, and
Synchronous det.
But when I want to listen on strong broadcast ( or africans too) the Lowe
150 sound very well with its synchro. It has a  very pleasant audio and
good performance (better using using the signal attn) compared to its
price.
I used both Lowe 150 and a Sony Sw7600 during my tour of duty in Somalia in
1993 and I found the Lowe is almost a professional rx in a portable case.

i doubt walkmans W/SW would be decenr rcvrs, the fromt end must be really bad!
also SW is a much broader freq range than AM bcast, so its harder to have a
'resonant' antenna inside the  walkman unless it used a fixed antenna (like
6ft walkman cord and a few tank circuite inside the walkman)

your best bet is to just get one of the small sony stuff, but youd mind as
well go for a ICF-2010. great rig, very sensitive, itll pull out alot more
than u think!

I just recently received a SoftWave board but the owner had
somewhere along the way lost the manual.  I installed it in my
machine but it looks like there is a conflict with the video capture
board, since it no longer works correctly.

I would first like to locate others who own a SoftWave board so we
can compare notes and second ask what are the switch definitions for
the onboard dip switches.

I have used the board now for a couple of weeks and it is one of the
finest SW receivers I have ever used.  Recently I used it to analyze
an interesting digital signal.  The spectrum analyzer display
clearly showed that it was two FSK signals and a CW signal running
on the same carrier.  The first FSK was separated by 170hz, the
second by about 800hz and the cw signal easily split out by the dsp
filters.

I'm sure there are a lot of other neat things that can be done with
this board, it is really too bad that ComFocus didn't make it, wish
them luck getting refinanced.  Or, that the new WinRadio from
Rosetta Labs, Australia, works as well or better.  I tried to find
them on the net but no luck so far.  I did check the Lowe WWW but it
looks like it is just getting set up and at the moment there is
nothing there.

Anyway, if you have the switch settings for the SoftWave board I
would really appreciate the contact.

Thanks,

Craig Young

If your attic is under a metal roof, you may not get much signal past the
roof tin. Connecting to the roof may work well, but beware of possible
interference that may be radiated from corroded nails or roofing tin. This
probably won't be a problem unless you transmit into it or have strong
local broadcasters, though.

Some years ago, our radio club was doing a demonstration at a local
country fair, and we decided to hook our 80 metre transmitter to the
approx 100 ft by 200 ft galvanized metal roof via a transmatch. It worked
fine - for us - but the nearby commercial radio broadcasting booth got
completely wiped out whenever we powered up the roof, although a vertical
nearby was fine. 
It was interesting for us to interfere with a broadcast
station, considering we were usually the ones interfered with by broadcast
stations, and while it may have been poetic justice, we didn't use it very
long. Good signal strengths, though.

The answer may lie in a web site that is available for
posting real time loggings.  The "forms" nature of the page
restricts the format of what can be entered to only the
essentials.  It is, therefore, self policing.  Give it a
try.

It's pretty much a piece of junk,it picks up lots of noise and hash,and
eats batteries.Only buy it if you can take it back,because you will

Last I looked, the '2010 is dual conversion, first IF ~55MHz, second IF
455kHz.

Could someone tell me what the reputation of this radio is and what one

The SRF-42 has a different two-chip set, designed for C-QUAM only.  The A1
and A100 had circuitry designed for all four systems then in use, including
the Kahn ISB system, and that capability is used in the 2010.

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

The KIWA is superb, but only for AM broadcast (540 kHz to 1705 kHz).
A longwire, whether by Grove or anybody else is cheapest/best if you can
get it up at least 25 feet, and over 35 feet long.
Forget the R/S active antenna unless you need one for traveling with a SW
radio and want to use it in hotel rooms, etc.
I use longwires (plus a KIWA for AM/BC), but for SW I have 3 McKay Dymek
DA-100s. I feed them to different receivers and they are as sensitive as
the 40-50 foot longwires I have, but a lot smaller and less visibly
obtrusive (to my wife). They reach from longwave to 30 MHz andare the best
all-around unit you can get.

While it was not listed, I am using among others, the Sony ANT-1 with
excellent results. Great little antenna!

I have a Kiwa for MW.  Its great, giving excellent sensitivity PLUS the
ability to null-out interfering adjacent signals and/or local noise.

I have a McKay-Dymek DA100D active antenna (older version of the one at
Grove?)  that I use for SW.  Its sensitive enough for those of us with no room

for longwires, but it is susceptible to locally generated noise, which I have
a lot of.  Ideally I would have both it AND a longwire, and switch between
them based upon my target...

Lately, I've been tuning around 5900 and 9600 for international
broadcast stations, and have found things to be on the quiet side.
Also, WWV at 10.000 is practically uncopyable day and night.
(Central Mass).

Is my receiver sick, or are band conditions bad?

Dear Friends,

Due to interference problems on 7115 khz we are looking for
some alternative frequencies. Therefor we are testing two
frequencies and would highly appreciate reception report on
these broadcasts, especially from North America,Indonesia, New
Zeeland and Austarlia. But all other will be welcomed too !

The test started on the 15th of January and the alternative
frequencies are working in simultaniously with the old 7115
khz so you can compare the quality of the reception.
If everything works OK the tests will remain for one week.

Tests:
02.00 to 03.00 UTC 7145 kHz
03.00 to 04.00 UTC 7290 kHz

Also 7115 kHz 02.00 to 04.00 UTC.

Drop your report by email to : [e-mail]

Wish you all good reception !

Magnus

I have a TS-520 that I use for xmitting at times and a R71 that I use
for listening.
The TS520 is operating into a 40mtr dipole and the R71 is using an 80'
longwire for receiving.  I keep blowing the fuse in the antenna line of
the R71 when I transmitt on ths TS520.  This even happens when the R71
is turned off.  How can I stop this problem other then disconnecting
the R71's antenna every time I want to use the TS520?
Tnx.
George

No comment on the message being very late or VERY early, but

does anyone know how the UKE guys could be persuaded to send a
QSL for someone who heard them last October.
At least my reception report seems to have vanished beyond the
big edge...

No comment on the message being very late or VERY early, but

does anyone know how the UKE guys could be persuaded to send a
QSL for someone who heard them last October.
At least my reception report seems to have vanished beyond the
big edge...

I'm hearing Latin American and USA-style pop music, with occasional brief
announcements by a woman in Spanish, on 4905.3 kHz, heard from around 2315
UTC 1/15/96 till past 0100 UTC 1/16/96.  At first I assumed this was one
of two Brazilians on or near this frequency, but it's definitely in
Spanish.  Noted a program of Latin pop vocals till 2354, then
announcements by the woman with a definite station ID and a frequency
"onda corta," but couldn't copy all of it through the local noise.  The ID
began with "Ecos del..." something or other, in fact it sure sounded like
"Ecos del Oriente."  However, that Ecuadorian has always hung out on 3270
kHz.  After the ID, into a program of mostly USA-style pops, in Spanish
and English.

Neither the 1996 _Passport_ nor the brand new 1996 _WRTH_ were any help.
Fair/good level, but too much local noise here in Columbus, Ohio to copy
the IDs.  Using a Kenwood R5000 plus an RF Systems MLB-MK1 long-wire
hidden in the attic.

Anyone else hearing this, and/or have an idea of who this could be?  Any
help would be much appreciated!

The station you are hearing is Ecos del Orinoco.  It was
first spotted (to my knowledge) by Dave Valko and
successfully IDed by Ulis Fleming on Jan 12.  The address
is: Puerto Carreno, Vichada, Columbia.

You will find this, and many other rare DX loggings in
edition 69 of "Cumbre DX", a free, all-electronic, DX
newsletter which will be distributed via E-mail to its
contributors on Friday, Jan 19.  If you would like a sample
copy of Cumbre DX, send an E-mail request to Hans Johnson at
[e-mail].

There is only one way to get on the mailing list for Cumbre
DX.  You must contribute.  That is all it takes.  If you are
interested in logging the rarer DX stations, give Cumbre DX
a try.

No.  As I recall, I read in one of Alice Brannigan's Pop Comm columns that
Vane Jones died several years ago, and the Vane Jones Log is no more.
Thus, Lynn's advice below is your best bet for an AM log for North America.

Vane Jones passed away a number of years ago. There was an effort to
revive his work, but those efforts were for naught. You might want to
contact EEB, HRO, or Gilfer to see what substitute(s) they suggest...

January 13/14 on VOA's Communications World -- if I can manage to
get to the studio Friday morning despite tonight's promised snow.
If not, a program of light music.  :-)

--   VOA comes out of the government shutdown and lands right in a
     winter weather emergency.  How we coped.

--   Several interesting items from the news services about
     international broadcasting, including RFE Slovakian, BBC
     Arabic TV, Iranian crackdown on satellite dishes, etc.

--   Recent audience research surveys track international radio
     listening in Serbia and Montenegro.  Interview with Steve
     Connors of the Open Media Research Institute.

--   How Britain used the mass media to influence the United States
     just before World War II and until the United States entered
     the war in 1941.  Interview with Nick Cull, author of the
     book, _Selling_War_.

--   Interview with Andrew Thall of Texas, who went to the
     considerable expense and trouble to purchase a BayGen
     clockwork (windup) radio.  His impressions of the radio after
     using it for a few weeks.

Hope you can tune in or download.

Looking for a bargain basement/swap meet priced Hickok 750
series or Hickok 752 series dynamic mutual conductance tube
tester.

I was looking for some of the TV-7 models, but discovered these
higher end Hickok units do not go for that much more in good
condition as reported by some net folks who have purchased them
at such events locally.

If interested email me with a your Hickok's model # and a price.

Thank you.

P.S.  Hickok is still in business, but no longer has any information
on their older test gear.  (Only the present line of automotive test
gear.)However, since Hickock machines were fairly popular,
I'm sure a reprint of the manuals could be obtained.

It's still there, but the rock music has been replaced by the usual SW

WRNO's world wide shortwave service?

        A number of years ago I bought my first boom-box and it had a couple
of SW bands on it.  Hunting around these band I heard WRNO from New Orleans
playing some of their programming on SW.  It was kind of cool to hear Top 40
music in a place that wasn't service by any commercial radios.

I have some tapes of WRNO in it's rock & roll days. Also have tapes of
the former Superpower KUSW playing rock music before TBN bought the
station & turned it into KTBN.
Good idea to have a recorder running while SWL'ing! I've kept lots of
old tapes over the years.

Well, I use a1-a3 as scratch memory, so I can switch back and forth
easily if I' following several frequencies at once. (a1-a2 are used for
"defined" scanning anyway, so this makes sense.)
        For broadcasters I listen to frequently, I have several columns
on the right. RCI is a8-d8; I might have a free column come April. I
also have the BBC and DW.
        The rest are an assortment of frequently accessed single
frequencies. For example, d2, the Air button, has the Toronto City
Centre airport ATIS frequency for the latest wind, temp and barometer
settings. A couple of CB channels are in there too, although I haven't
listened much of late (I haven't been hard pressed for listening
material of late.0
        There are still one or two 150kHz buttons.

  Hi folks,

  I ilke my Sony 2010. I keep it at bedside and mainly try to keep
track of utility freqs such as 6683,11175 & of course 5696.
  I'm curious as to what other 2010 owners are loading into thier

  If I'm allowed to start any strings, I guess that's the one I'd
start.
   Any thoughts?

8 are various local AM stations, and 8 are local FM's. 4 have all
the Gene Scot freq's (WWCR and KAIJ), I think I also have BBC, Radio
Japan, Australia, Indonesia (love that gamelan!) and the rest are
blank (150 kH) for now.

The reason is that it's discontinued with a new model coming (witness the

   However, I had a different problem with the RS DX-390.  When I was
listening to the Shortwave band, the reception went virtually dead.
However, when I switched to either AM or FM, the reception was fine.
The first time it happened, I was able to exchange the reciever for
a different one.  The next time, it had to be sent to Michigan to be
repaired.  It cost $43.00, 3.50 for parts.  Seems that a diode went
south and took a transistor with it.
   Has anyone else had this problem with the Radio Shack DX-390?

Yes!  Fifteen months ago my first DX-390 went dead on SW about three
weeks after I got it.  The RS folks shrugged their shoulders and
replaced it without a problem.  Then, about a year ago number two did
the same.  Again, replacement without a problem.  They did not seem
too terribly suprised, so this sort of thing may be 'common'.

Number three is working just fine.  I am running a 75 foot bare copper
wire out to a tree.  At times I get 60hz interferance from within the
house that gets a little bothersome, but can dx all over otherwise.

There is something about this on today's Communications World on VOA.
Some teacher in the midwest bought one from South Africa. I think he
paid $40+$70-ish shipping+$35 to his bank for a transfer or something
like that. (I think Harrods in London carries them and while they charge
more for the radio, they probably know how to ship to the U.S. reliably
 and for less money and they'll probably take your credit card so you
don't have to pay almost as much in bank fees as the goddam radio
costs.)

Although I haven't received it yet, I recently ordered a "generator
radio" from Brookstone. This radio runs on batteries, solar cell, or
by wind up generator. It has AM/FM (Mono), all for $35.

I have seen this radio cheaper elsewhere, and I've also seen a
variation that includes a built in flashlight.

I would love a wind up radio that is a good quality shortwave radio
also. I find spending $120 US for this radio a bit much though..

Regards,
David

Pick up a copy of Monitoring Times magazine for a start.  If you can't
find that, there are some frequencies in Popular Communications.  There
are a couple of books that are updated yearly and are quite good:
-Passport to World Band Radio 1996 (in your bookstore now)
-World Radio TV Handbook 1996 (should arrive this month)

Monitoring Times is published by Grove and can be reached on the
web at: www.grove.net

Grove can also supply you with either or both of the above books.

I am interested in purchasing a Zenith Trans Oceanic model H500 at a fair
price and working on all bands.  I am located in Long Island New York. I
would also like to know if any hamfests or flea markets are in the general
area so that I may get a nice one at a nice price.

I am on a budget and would also like to obtain with the purchase, a set of
spare tubes for the set if possible especially the 1L6 converter tube.

Please email me direct or call at 516-681-8193.

When listening to WWCR (5.065) at night it sounds wavy, fades in and
out.  I got a dx390 and using the teloscopic antenna, I live in RI.  I
was thinking it was the antenna, but other stations come in fine.
Anybody else experience the same problem?

Jay,

It is quite clear that they are engaging in domestic
broadcasting.  The FCC rules prohibit them from SOLELY
targeting a domestic audience.  That leaves a big loophole
if they can show a single non-domestic listener.

Their advertising also targets US customers with 800
response lines et.al.  This is also prohibited by the FCC
rules.  Lets see if we can figure out why the FCC is
ignoring their own rules.

I think that the original purpose of these rules was to
protect the powerful networks owned by RCA, CBS, & ATT back
in the early days of radio.  If a broadcaster could cover
the entire country with a single shortwave transmitter,
there would not be much use for networks would there?  Big
business lobbied to get this legislation to protect their
assets.

The domestic radio networks are now a feeble vestige of
their former influence and power.  But the law is still on
the books.  I have not researched the issue but I was told
somewhere that the FCC rule derives from similar language in
the 1934 Communications Act.  So the FCC cannot drop the
regulation as outmoded.  That would take an act of Congress.
We all know how hard it is for Congress to act on anything
these days.  We surely cannot expect Congress to be
concerned with such a trivial matter.

The radio networks, or what is left of them, have bigger
problems like direct broadcast satellites, cable radio, etc.
They no longer consider domestic shortwave broadcasting to
be a threat.  Absent any pressure from the industry the
regulation was designed to protect, the FCC has chosen to
use the loophole in their own regulation to ignore the whole
thing.  Is that wrong?  Probably, but it is expedient.  With
all the chaos in Washington, FCC included, the squeeky
wheels are getting the grease.  If the legitimate domestic
broadcasters don't complain that WWCR and stations like them
are robbing them of revenue, the FCC could care less.

So there you have it.  One prominent SWL suggested that I
lay off WWCR as they were only trying to make a dollar and
that is the good old American Way isn't it?  Yeah, I guess
so.  On the other hand stations like WWCR make me hesitate
to introduce young people to this hobby.  Us old goats can
see through the tripe they spew.  A kid might not.  I would
no more want my kid listening to WWCR than fraternizing with
the dope pusher down the street.  But then the dope pusher
is just trying to make a dollar isn't he. Ah, the good old
American Way.

Here's a couple clues for Auntie:

1.  Bring back _London Calling_.  It was simple, elegant, and did its job
nicely with a minimum of fuss.

2.  A *real* paper-saving measure: Get rid of that asinine
breaking-the-signal-into-five-different-feeds scheme.  Part of the joy of
shortwave listening is the ability to hear several different frequencies,
some of which aren't even aimed to your area but at times come in clearer
than the signals which are.  This gets annoying when you try a European
or African frequency only to hear something different--if anything.

I remember when LC was a two-color rag with mostly text and a few
illustrations here and there, and BBCWS would send you these gigantic
wall charts with the programming times and days for every month of the year.
A frequency guide to all areas was also included.  OF course, back then
you could conceivably tune three radios to three different frequencies,
hear the same program but each one had different levels of delay...one
feed would fade out and the announcer would start talking while the other
two feeds were still playing the program..then they too would fade and
the announcer would be on all three frequencies, in sync.  Yeah, I was
bored as a kid. :)

Hi Lynn,
KKOH 780 50Kw out of Reno,NV had a interesting test transmission on Friday
Jan 20, 1996.
They were silent for 1 hour and then at 2:00 am they played a warp
sound for about 1 hour. So if someone logged a warp sound that was KKOH.

Good DX, Keith

I re-posted a message that I received the other day from Arnie Coro at
Radio Havana.  I asked him why the return address in the header was different
from what he announces on the air.

I received the following message from him today, and I thought that
readers here would find it of interest.

Dear George:
Nice to hear from you amigo !
Yes the 21 to 22  UTC English is on 9550 Khz.
It is the same transmitter and antenna that we used
on 11705 kHz. That frequency 11705 kHz was now to high
above the MUF for Europe, so we went down to 31 meters
in high hope of reaching Europe with that low power
by today standards -100 Kw -.
Anyway it does reach North America !

The 9505 kHz SSB from 22 to 23 UTC is doing very well
also along the East Coast of North America, but I dont
think you can hear it in Texas... or can you !
The different e-mail address is on another system to
which I have limited access, so please dont relay
the infomed e-mail address to other people .

Jay Marvin sends best regards to you from Chicago,
I talk to him on the e-mail quite often.
His e-mail address is at the igc.apc.org system.
How is 6000 kHz doing after 0500 UTC there in Texas ?
The antenna is at that time beaming exactly to
you for a first hop, as the second hop target area
is California, on the same beam heading.
Its 3 am in the morning as I am writing this to
you, I was waked up by King Coro- my dog- that
wanted to go to the toilet !
At this time the e-mail node is very easy to access!!!
73 s and good Dxing amigo
Your friend in Havana
Arnie

Is there a site on the net (ftp, web, gopher) where I can find

does not list all the ones I need.

  I'm looking to get in contact with other Time Station Dxers for
exchanging information and tips.

  From my first experiences with Shortwave, these stations have always
held a certain "fascination" as DX targets because of the difficulty in
hearing (and QSLing) them all.

  I've heard most of them but there are a few that have remained elusive
due to listening in the wrong place/wrong time/propagation/etc.

  Let's do some time....

   I have an AR3030 and find it a very nice radio. Passport commented on the
bail (tilt adjust) to be a problem. Mine does not have that problem.
However, I see by the picture in passport that the bail is much smaller
than the one on my AR3030. It looks like modications were made to that
mechanical part, perhaps a re-review should have been done for 1996
edition of Passport to Worldband Radio. Maybe electronic modifications
were also made.

   Occasionally I find the radio picking up a combination of strong local
AM stations and a shortwave station in the HF band. The frequency is a
combination (add or subtract) of the AM mediumwave frequency and the
shortwave broadcaster frequency. It is a rare happening and is probably a
combination of propagation conditions on the AM band and some design
problem in the radio.

Since everybody's needs are different...I hesitate to recommend a brand.
Both Sony and Grundig make good radios (Sangaen also does) but some work
better in some places and some work better in others.  You might want to
see string "x".  Good luck!

I assume we are talking about the Kiwa filter set. I installed both the
wide and narrow filters in my 2010 some time ago. The wide filter was
inexpensive, easy to install and IMHO absolutely necessary for the 2010.
The narrow filter was expensive, difficult to install and has given very
muddy and unsatisfactory performance.

My advice is that you replace the wide filter and forget the narrow one.

Back on December 12 I sent an E-mail letter to the Canadian
Prime Minister with my reasons why I thought RCI should be
saved from the axe.  Today, via snail mail, I received a
reply from an assistant saying my letter had been reviewed
and forwarded to the Honourable Michel Dupuy, Minister of
Canadian Heritage for his consideration.

If you have not yet sent your letter in support of RCI, it
is not too late.  You might want to direct it to Mr. Dupuy.
The letterhead address was Ottawa, Canada, K1A OA2.

The original E-mail address I used was:
[e-mail]
This address goes to a computer operated by the IEEE where
the message is converted to a FAX that is then automatically
sent to the Prime Minister's fax machine.

I haven't heard them here in south Texas either! Used to get them in
the middle of the night. Now all I hear is powerful broadcast stations
on or near the frequency. Believe me, I like CFRX/CFRB. Kinda miss
them!

RU>11.5 M ! I think your decimal point must be misplaced

Fraid not. They've convinced someone that it's a New York station.
Radio World has a cover article with a picture of the Empire State
Building and Radio Business Report refers to it as "WJDM, New York."
The fact that I can't receive it anywhere in Manhattan doesn't seem to
bother anyone.

DEUTSCHE WELLE CLOSES RELAYSTATION MALTA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Deutsche Welle Relaystation at Cyclops, Malta was closed on
January 15th.  The treaty with the Maltese authorities was valid for
20 years and expired at the end of 1995.  It was not renewed.  The
station will be dismantled and replaced by a vacation resort but
other destinations are also possible.

Deutsche Welle is now searching for other transmitting facilities to
take over these transmissions.  This will be not that difficult
because in Germany itself there is an overcapacity of available
transmitters.  The station in Julich will also not be used anymore
by DW from next year onwards (source : ORF Kurzwellenpanorama)

Nothing was mentioned about the transmissions of 'Voice of the
Mediterranean'.  But today (Sun Jan 21) I couldn't hear anything on
11925 kHz at 1400 UTC.  So, I assume that Malta left shortwave.

Sonya,

  I can't really tell what to do, but when I was confronted with this
same (DX-390 to ???) decision, I chose the R8.  Consider that I wanted
a few things(in order of preference):

American made (if possible)
excellent performance
Computer interface
VHF capabilities
tabletop
price

  If you need portable, then the SW8 might be a better choice for you.
I didn't have that requirement myself, so I went for the R8.  After
all, I still have my DX-390 as my portable of choice. <vbg>  I looked
at several other SW receivers, and for the price, the Drake R8 was a
good deal.  I looked at Kenwood and others, but by the time you add
the filters, VHF FM IF, computer interface, etc you quickly go over
the others in price with comparable features.

  This is my opinion, and only that.  Check out the reviews in
Passport and others to really cinch your decision.  I did and I'm not
sorry that I spent the time.

Does anyone remember back to 1975 when DXCR appeared
on their 2nd harmonic of 1330 Khz ? It was on for about
a week or two ...

I thought that might jog the memories of some of you
oldsters!  :-)

DXCR was a 5 KW Christian Station in the Phillipines..
Some hot-shot DXer even recieved a QSL Card!

Check out Grundig's current full-page ad for the Yacht Boy 400.

The section which lists the included accessories mentions that it comes with
four AA cells. Which means you'd then have to go out and buy 2 more, since
the Yacht Boy 400 uses SIX.  (well, at least mine does!)

Someone from Grove posted a message here yesterday. They said that they
got the WRTH late because of the snow. I suppose they didn't get the
sort of snow that they get in Maine or Wisconsin every year but then
their county probably doesn't have the snow plows either.

Go to your local newsstand (Borders is dynamite, but there are others).
Purchase at least one of the following: Passport to World Band Radio,
World Radio TV Handbook or Monitoring Times magazine. The MT mag is by
far the cheapest and is typically a little more up to date on skeds,
freqs, etc. For the end-all info I personally prefer the WRTH but that's
a subject for heated debate at times.

I personally recommend looking at a Monitoring Times and going from there.
Good luck and welcome to the not-yet-disappearing world of short wave.

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

Often wood frame houses have a metalized vapor barrier to
keep the insulation dry.  This barrier canshield the indoor
antenna.  The stucco houses in California and the South have
chicken wire surrounding the outside.  The stucco material
is sprayed onto the chicken wire which then holds it while
it hardens.  The chicken wire can also act as a good shield.
So having a wood frame house is no guarantee that you will
get good reception.

Try this test.  Get a portable SW radio.  Tune it to a weak
station while inside the house.  Now walk outside with the
radio.  Did the weak station improve?  If not your house is
not significantly attenuating SW signals and you do not have
a lot of interference coupled from the power wiring in the
house.  If a big improvement occurs, you need to plan on
using an outside antenna.

I was quoted $3.5 Canadian by the "post office". I told them
to forget it.

I think Canada should institute a system that will deliver mail to
people for a small fee. Other countries have such a system.
I think it is called a Postal Service.

Hi JOhn
I live in Eastern Australia so I can give you a few hints on
medium wave DXing.

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

well, the unit itself (Kantronic Universal Terminal Unit)
didn't cost much....wonder what the instructions will run me....

I hooked it into my shortwave receiver. By carefully tuning on
a RTTY signal, I could get the mark........space led's to pretty
much stay on, without lights around the center coming on. Butthe
'lock' led never lit up. I didn't bother hooking up to the
computer....

I built a Microsomething or other from Wisconsin years ago, using
an 8748 or some such micro-controller. Which, for better or worse,
reads RTTY and Morse. And which looks VERY similar to this Kantronics
unit. But I really like the tuning bar thing in the Kantronics.

Anybody out there got one, and can tell me what to do to get it
running? Does it read RTTY and Morse? Something else?

Use to be Ihad Kenwood R-1000 And came to this problom, I have manage to
solve this problem By cleaning of Band switcn. You need Switch/Contact cleaner
s
You can get it from your Local Radio Shack store, Unplug your radio from the
wall plug, if I still remember open the bottom of the radio and locate the
band switch find any holes on it which can spray can get to the cotacts
spry into it and turn band switch several times . it should solve the problem
it worked for me.

Sushil - Radio Australia's cricket frequencies are: 15240, 15245,
and 15365. The reception here in New Jersey is poor but California
should not be a problem. It was audible only when I attached a
long-wire to the telescoping antenna.

Other radios in your price range: Sony ICF-SW7600G and Grundig YB-400.
My choice would be the Sony.

BTW, you should be able to hear RA with YB-305.

Regards,

Sayed.

The Drake has much better dynamic range and a lot more features. And
hence the big price difference.

Yea, I've got the single clock version which goes for 9.95
and its garbage also.  Not only does it not keep good time,
trying to set it is a nightmare.

Where are all the neat MIL radios?

I remember a neat store called Dixon's Radio Key in Cleveland over 15 years
ago. This was a multi-storefront operation that had all kinds of equipment. Th
is
store was *packed*  to the gills with MIL radios. I picked up a AN/GRR-5
shortwave receiver (circa 1952) with all the extras: tube box, headphones,
antenna sections, power cords, equipment case, etc along with a manual
for about $125.

Sadly, they went out of business around 1982. When they sold out, I bought
the entire stock of manuals they had. I collect old MIL TO's.

Funny thing is, I never see any MIL radios out there for sale. Sure, a PRC
XXX will show up at a Hamfest every now and then, but there must be some
some other MIL radios out there? Or are they are being *demilitarized*; a term
that means destroy. Is there a source I might have missed?

Eric

Also please let me know if you find out about any place that sells
military surplus radios so I can add them to my other lists.

I've been using Millenium AA NiCads for several years.  I've been very
impressed with them, compared to the Eveready rechargables I used 10
years ago.  Is there something special about these cells or the
charger?  I believe the charger instructions said it should only be
used with Millenium cells.  Is this true?  I'd appreciate a techinical
explanation.

Thanks

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

The Millenium line died last year when Eveready absorbed the assets of
Gates Energy products.

This is almost definately WOI Ames, IA. They frequently carry programs
from external broadcast services. I have heard them with BBC programming
in the past. While CBC is slightly possible, WOI is the one I would bet
on.

to purchase a shortwave radio for somebody to use in the Cantral African
Republic.  I have been to several different shops and been told several
conflicting things.  What I'd like to know is, what ought I to look for
in purchasing a shortwave radio and are there any specific
considerations I ought to have to purchase one that'll work well in CAR?

I've had the same problem with my old Panasonic (I think it's a 2600,
everything I own is in boxes after a move).

To clean it you will need contact cleaner or TV Tuner Cleaner or
some similar spray electrical contact cleaner, preferably the
kind with a lubricant (made for switches, not something like WD40).

I have found that you can't get the spray in from the front of
the receiver, because the shaft actually actuates a long slider
switch mounted on the back of a circuit board (at least in my
radio).  The only way to clean it was to take the back off, and
remove anything else that blocks clear access to the switch.  You
then can spray the cleaner in directly and work the switch back and
forth vigorously several times.

A couple of cleanings like this should fix the problem for a while
(months to years depending on the state of the radio and how dirty
your environment is).

Quite frankly, the quality of this generation of radios is only
so-so, though with a little care they can still be quite satisfactory
for casual listening.

    Not sure about the B45 but I'll say this ....I LOVE my RF-B65! I've
had it for 3 years now. I'd say it's mid-sized, not tiny but not big
either. A nice size really. Both radios get good reviews in "Passport".

I think this is a harmonic of 600 kHz.  I heard them last year on 2400,
3600, and even 4800.  (I seem to recall getting them as high as 8400 kHz,
which would be the *14th* harmonic, but I don't have my log book at work
with me, so I can't check at the moment.)

        It sounds like Brother Stair. I usually get him on WRNO, but I
believe he's also on WWCR. If you write to Bro. Stair, Walterboro, SC,
you can get a free newsletter with a list of the stations that broadcast
his ravings. Make him waste his $ on you!

Take a look at NHK's new Web-Site (Radio Japan Section):

There you will find the new program information and frequency schedules.
Hope that helps,

I believe, something is wrong with transmitters in Sackville, Canada,
since NHK uses them for its NA relays at this time.

There was an anonymous tip posted several weeks ago that the station
was on 9670 - I don't remember the exact time - it seems it was
around 1600 UTC.  The poster claimed it was via Polish Radio, Warsaw.

Any chance it is, instead, via Radio Trans Europe in Portugal?

Hi everyone.
I have a Kenwood R-2000 that is about 6 years old and would like to know
if anybody has any information about possible modifications for
improvement of its performance, I've seen many mods info for other radios
from BBSs or similar but none for the R-2000.
would also apperciate any mods info for a BC-760 XLT, It tried a couple
from some BBS already but did not work
Thanks in advance

Many (nearly all) D-cell nicads are the same capacity as C-cell nicads.  As
you noted, they just build up the case a bit.  This practice did not begin
with Radio Shack.  I've seen them from all the major players.  There are
true d-cells available, look at the mA/Hr discharge rating to tell the
difference.  Also, the weight of a nicad is nearly proportional to it's
capacity.  That's handy when looking for the best battery pack for a laptop
or the like.

Please don't misunderstand this follow-up, I think Radio Shack sells some
of the worst quality electronic products avaiable.  Don't even ask me what
I think of their radios.  Yea-yea I know, many are built by name brands,
but under contract.  The name brand doesn't have name exposure and will cut
whatever corners asked by RS.  Go ahead and flame me if you must, we need
the warmth in Oregon.

I would be interested in receiving any input from those of you who have used t
he SGC SG-2000.  I installed one on my trawler and have had some success with
it.  The company has been tremendous in their responses to my questions and I
have been able to raise Radio Japan while cruising off the California coast (b
ut not too far off, I must admit).  At any rate, I would be interested to hear
 from any owners or any folks who have SSBs on boats.

While the new Sony SW1000T is not exactly a Walkman, it is an interesting
combination of SW receiver and cassette player/recorder. For those interested
I just posted a review of this radio on our web page:

Hope this info is useful.

I am very new to short wave 3 days.
I go to school in Western State Colorado 7,870 fett above sea-leval and I
felt issolated so my dad let me borrow his OLD short wave it is a TISBAL
with 9 banns and MW and FM also.  It has nothing fancy just one of the
pull out attenas one finds on any portable radio.  But that has long
scince broke.  I went to RADIO SHACK to by a new one but they where out
so I bought 20 feet of speaker wire.  I have taped it to my cieling but
was wonding does it need to be taunt or loose or looped like AM?  Or is
speaker wire not the right materal?  I do not know what I shold or should
not be recieving since I am in the mountains.

Also it has a little meter that say tuning on it and it uslay stays at 1
but sometime it goes to 3 when you are on a station.  BUt other time it
does nto move even if you are on a good station so does any oen know what
that means?

I have a seven-year-old Sony 2010, which has extremely little
sensitivity -- picking up only the powerhouses. Yes, the switch is on
DX, yes, the antenna is connected. On top of that, my AC adapter won't
work; an error message comes up, and it only runs on battereis.

Has anyone had similar problems? And can anyone recommend a dealer to
send it to for repair?

2010 in mint condion, only used for a few hours.  Includes all
manuals, carring strap, and antenna adaptor.  Asking $250, split
shipping (only about $6 each). It's ready to be shipped, just
make a reasonable offer, and the closest to $250 (or above) gets
it!

I bought recently the 100s and I do fill that there is a slight
deterioration in the total reception comparing to former models.
It is important to have Sony  express their attitude towards this
questions and problems.
I wish they have someone connected to this session.You can get their
responce , maybe, through the "Sony Online" page.

        I am thinking about setting up an antennae in my attic to improve
the performance of my shortwave radio.

        Any recommendations on what kind of antennae I should consider?
Something simple and straightforward would be preferable, though I am
willing to attempt something a little more elaborate if and when I do
find the time.

        Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Kiwa for MW.  Its great, giving excellent sensitivity PLUS the
ability to null-out interfering adjacent signals and/or local noise.

I have a McKay-Dymek DA100D active antenna (older version of the one at
Grove?)  that I use for SW.  Its sensitive enough for those of us with no room

for longwires, but it is susceptible to locally generated noise, which I have
a lot of.  Ideally I would have both it AND a longwire, and switch between
them based upon my target...

Lately, I've been having a lot of problems getting the BBC Americas stream
(5975 used to be quite powerful).  The African stream on 9600 at 0300
however has been strong, so that's what I've been listening to.

Welcome to low sunspots! Although the higher bands are dead you might want
to try DX-ing on the low bands. Lots of good propagation and MW is great I
have logged stations from Japan and China here in CA. I have been logging
lots of stuff on the 40 meter band also. On 31 meters I am listening to a
BBC broadcast to Africa right now. So just refocus to these bands especially
at sunrise/sunset.
Good DX, Keith

Dear Friends,

Due to interference problems on 7115 khz we are looking for
some alternative frequencies. Therefor we are testing two
frequencies and would highly appreciate reception report on
these broadcasts, especially from North America,Indonesia, New
Zeeland and Austarlia. But all other will be welcomed too !

The test started on the 15th of January and the alternative
frequencies are working in simultaniously with the old 7115
khz so you can compare the quality of the reception.
If everything works OK the tests will remain for one week.

Tests:
02.00 to 03.00 UTC 7145 kHz
03.00 to 04.00 UTC 7290 kHz

Also 7115 kHz 02.00 to 04.00 UTC.

Drop your report by email to : [e-mail]

Wish you all good reception !

Magnus

   I'm completely new at this so bear with me.  I want to buy a
decent, but not too expensive ($200-$250) SW receiver, but have no
idea what to look for, or even what I want.  My interest is primarily
worldwide comercial radio stations (i.e. BBC).  Any help would be
appreciated.

I have not tried it myself, but considering the variety of non-SW
signals, e.g., VHF, UHF, FM(VHF) and probable spurious and intermod
products from cable TV outlet. I would not bother connecting my SW radio

VOL = "voice" (I think it actually comes from the Latin spelling).

MET = "meteorlogical" (weather).

Thus VOLMET = voice weather

Over here in Europe we have a very active Shannon VOLMET from Ireland on
(amongst others) 8957, 5505 and [nightime] 3413 USB.

 Thanks Bernie for the info.  I'm going to try that frequency again
 next time I'm closer to the airport.  Last summer I tried to video-
 tape the landing and take-off of the Concorde, but I got conflicting
 reports of the runway it was going to use (I talked to people at the
 tower, US Air and British Airways, and each gave me a different time
 and runway), so at least the ATIS frequency generally reports the
 correct runway for arrival and departure.

On the internet, probably $500-600
The reason is that it's discontinued with a new model coming (witness the

Yes!  Fifteen months ago my first DX-390 went dead on SW about three
weeks after I got it.  The RS folks shrugged their shoulders and
replaced it without a problem.  Then, about a year ago number two did
the same.  Again, replacement without a problem.  They did not seem
too terribly suprised, so this sort of thing may be 'common'.

Number three is working just fine.  I am running a 75 foot bare copper
wire out to a tree.  At times I get 60hz interferance from within the
house that gets a little bothersome, but can dx all over otherwise.

If you are talking about small portable thingies to set atop your
RX, I get great use out of Micronta's (RS) 63-884 model, white, having
two rounded opposing corners, and two squarish opposing quarters.
I got it on sale for $10, but normally it was about $20.  And, it keeps
great time .... within 2-3 seconds per month.

Quoting Chris.Arnold from a message in rec.radio.shortwave
 Ch[ When listening to WWCR (5.065) at night it sounds wavy, fades in and
 Ch[ out.  I got a dx390 and using the teloscopic antenna, I live in RI.  I
 Ch[ was thinking it was the antenna, but other stations come in fine.
 Ch[ Anybody else experience the same problem?

The problem is NOT with your reciever..its a problem for WWCR and their
unfortunate 5.065 frequency. Terrible propagation to the midwest at my
location. I have a 535D and a Drake R8A fed by a 90 foot long
wire....reception of WWCR sucks...period.

Hope they find a better frequency soon.....

Lines: 49

[Note: For some of us in the Middle Atlantic States of the US, there has
been a major internet outage for most of this past weekend.  This was due in
part to the thaw of the blizzard snows, which caused extreme flooding (and
then icing) in many areas.  As a result, my provider Lifestat has been off-
line.  Lifestat, and my page, are expected to return real "soon" once the
connections have dried out <G>.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may
have caused for those who may have tried to e-mail me or had problems
downloading Smart R8 Control (as previously announced).  For those who may
be trying to contact me, my GEnie acount in the .sig. is still working.  In
any event, for when Lifestat returns, I have this additional product
announcement, as follows:]

===================== SMART AUDIO CONTROL ANNOUNCEMENT ====================
                            -----
 Some of the receivers on the market provide methods for remote operation by
 computer control.  However, often times they include no possible way to
 control the audio volume and tone of sound coming out of them.  Also, if
 anyone has ever used a TNC or other data demodulator, you'll know that one
 of the tiresome things to do is properly tune your receiver for accurate
 demodulation.

For this, FineWare has developed Smart Audio Control, which will allow you
 to use the sound card on your computer to do all of this, and more.  Smart
 Audio Control contains volume, line in, tone and mute controls; but also
 includes a fully functional and fairly calibrated audio oscilloscope and
 spectrum analyzer.  The registration fee for Smart Audio Control is US$25...
 yet another quality product at a low cost.

You will be able to download a pre-release beta of Smart Audio Control on or
 after January 22nd (provided that AT&T repairs the busted and/or flooded T1
 circuits in Virginia and Maryland by then).  The file, called SAWIN10B.ZIP,
 will be available via the GEnie Radio & Electronics RT File Library, as well
 as under the "Coming Soon" section of the FineWare WWW Page:

  http://www.lifestat.net/~mfine/   (an FTP site is also being created)

or by the shortcut:

  http://www.lifestat.net/~mfine/images/sawin10b.zip

The file is only 133kb (sans docs), so there should be little or no
downloading problems once Lifestat returns to the CyberWaves.

73,

You better get your facts right. In the just released ARB I'm #1 in
adults 25-54. Of course you wouldn't know what that means, but I'll
think about you for about ten second while I count the money from my
bonus check. Typical right-winger when you don't have the facts

Hey, Jay!

1. Does that bonus check make you one of those EVIL RICH PEOPLE?  If so,
you'd better give most of it away!

2. Who are you up against at that hour?  Sneezy the wonder squirrel?  How
come you were moved from afternoon drive?

3. You had better be careful about extolling the free enterprise system,
you're beginning to sound like RUSH!

Clearly, you should consider both.  I have used both for a number of
years and find their operating characteristics so different, they
complement each other nicely.  The Active Probe tends to read signals
coming in at all angles, and at least mine seems more susceptable to
local (electric) noise than atmostpheric noise.  Put the active antenna
as far away from house wiring as possible, and as far away from QRM
sources (such as home computers).  If possible, get one which has the
amplifiers in shielded cases, and use good quality shielded coax
throughout the system.  On the wire side, put up a dipole, long wire or
inveted V as high as possible.  On the lower frequencies, it will
probably only be responside to high-angle signals, which will be useful
for seeing out of the valley.  Again, use shield cable to minimize noise
pickup.  (I find my active antenna (a Sony AN1) most useful on 9.4 - 15.5
Mhz. range, which the wire antenna (100' dipole with tuner) is clearly
superior below 9.5 Mhz in terms of signal-noise ratio.  Every case is
different, but I believe it is true that antenna diversity helps - and I
would recommend you put up both!! 73

Hello all,

     I have a question in regards to a SW antenna.  I am currently using
170' longwire ant. about 18-22 ft in the air horizontally.  I am wondering
if it would be advantageous for me to run it vertically as much as
possible, then send it horzontal.  Any help to this question, would be
GREATLY APPRECIATED....

I just received a "press release" from BayGen this morning
concerning the BayGen FREEPLAY wind-up radio.  This is no doubt in
response to a FAX I sent to their London office several weeks ago.
I quote:

"The BayGen FREEPLAY wind-up Radio"

"Consumers in the West have the power to provide the Third World
with the power it needs."

"How to order.....

FREEPLAY Radios can now be purchased from Harrods, Conrans and John
Lewis Oxford Streer who have limited Christmas stock, or by mail
through our handling house J.E.M. Marketing at UKP79.95 in P&P. Thank
you for your support, and remember that every purchase will allow
BayGen Power Europe Ltd to donate FREEPLAY Radios to the charity
organisation War Child for their African projects.  Funds in excess
of UKP79.95 per radio will be gratefully accepted and will be used
exclusively to purchase further radios for War Child.  Ultimately,
the more radios sold, the more will be donated to charity."

"Availability...

Delivery by mail anticipated end-January 1996"

"Send to.....

On the World Wide Web, go to http://www.bbcnc.org/worldservice.

They have the frequency graphs that are in BBC Worldwide (in gif format)
and a frequency lookup page. Unfortunately, they don't have all the
frequencies in one big comma or carriage return-line feed delimited file
that you could import into a database or spreadsheet.

They also have the program schedules for all the streams for the current
month, and after the 10th or 15th or so, the next month.

You didn't mention time, or your location.  Assuming NA, 6175 is
Sackville early evening, Delano later.  7325 is from Skelton,
Rampisham and/or Woofferton.  5975 is Antigua, if you're talking about
the evening (NA) English.

At what hour and where? (I suppose you're in the U.S. since most
non-U.S. domains end in country codes but not all.) If you have web

I have a question. Can anyone tell me which reciever they would recommend

I apologize if this has been asked before, but would appreciate any help.

Go for the Grundig. I got one for Christmas and it's excellent.
Especially for a beginner.  One unexpected benefit was that on AM (MW)
the sensitivity was as good as my GE Superradio II!!
The tone quality is also very good for a radio of its size

I pulled this out of my Volvo to install a Blaupunkt CD, so this thing is
surplus to my needs.

SQR 23  Monterey, 10 Watts/channel

This is a euro style cassette/receiver with longwave reception.

FM with 25 Khz channel steps (instead of the usual 200 Khz steps)
AM with 9 Khz and 1 Khz channel steps
LW with 9 Khz and 1 Khz channel steps

I have the original book, and a cassette which tells how to work the set.

$75.

I currently own both a Sangean 803 portable and a Sony 7600G. I sold my
Sony 2010 to buy the 7600G. The Sangean 803 was (still is!) a good little
portable, but not for CW/SSB or the "guys in the mud." It functions
rather poorly with an external antenna but for listening to FM stereo
(through the headphones) or on shortwave to BBC, VOA, DW, etc., it works
quite well, though a bit broadbanded. It's successor, the 803A provides a
narrower filter and works considerably better on CW, SSB and some of the
"lesser than giants" shortwave stations. For those who insist on huge
memory requirements, sorry, it has only 10 presets. It's my understanding
the 803 and 803A are no longer in production, but I've seen them
advertised numerous times in numerous places.  I saw one (803A) in
Amateur Electronic Supply in Orlando while I was down there around Christmas.

My Sony 2010 was an impulse purchase last year - I got mine used at AES
in Orlando for $275 US. It is a terrific radio, but you can't put it in
your hip pocket! I sold it just before Christmas and bought the 7600G.
Wow, what a radio. Of course, it isn't as versatile as the 2010, but it
is incredibly portable, has sync detect, FM stereo thru the phones, line
out for recording, external antenna input and does an incredible job on
both CW and SSB. Admittedly, the CW receiving works better through my
Radio Shack DSP filter (about all that thing's worth!). To help prevent
overloading the radio I run my external and attic antennas through a
grounded antenna tuner when I using it at home. On the road, I either use
the built-in whip or the little reel antenna that came with it. Although
it only has 10 memories on AM and 10 on FM, I have found it to be just
what the doctor ordered. Got it for $200 US from Grove in North Carolina
and now wouldn't trade it for the world. Played with a friend's Yacht Boy
as a comparison. The Grundig has a better sound (more fidelity) but he
can't separate the stations from interference like the sync detect can.

BTW I am NOT afiliated with SONY, Sangean, Grundig, or GROVE. I work for
a telecommunications firm as an economist. Is that weired or what?

  I don't understand your opinion.  I have owned a RatShack DX-390 for
over two years.  It was recommended to me by a HAM friend of mine.  It
is a Sangean manufactured unit and has great sensitivity, great
selectivity, and many features found on other sets costing much more.

  I would buy another in a minute.  I use an antenna tuner (my own
construction) with a long line antenna and get excellent results.  I
also own a Drake R-8 and find the DX-390 a good travel radio, but I
sometimes prefer using the DX-390 even at home.

  My only criticism of the DX-390 is that it goes through batteries
like crazy.  I generally use the AC adapter at home.

Read the manual! I think so. You have to have an adapter, but yes,
it is possible. I have one here too. Let me know how it works.
I am needing a CHEAP AM filter for SW listening on this radio.
I can't afford $115-125.00 !!
I'd prefer a wider filetr anyway, like 8 kHz instead of 6 kHz.
Any ideas?

Try the rec.radio.cb Usenet group. CB frequencies are available on
full-band shortwaves, but the CB group is probably a better place to
get that info. Check to see if that group has a FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions list) because that information would very likely be in it.

Good luck,

They're still on, at least here in Toronto :-). There have been several
comments about poor propagation in this n.g., so that's probably the
reason.

Yup. CFRX/ is on 6070 as I type with // on 1010. Remember CFRX is only 1
kw so it's not THAT powerful!

YES, CFRX/6070 IS STILL 24 HOURS A DAY.  THEY HAVE A FINE 1,000 WATT SIGNAL
ON A HARRIS SHORTWAVE TRANSMITTER.  ONE SIGNAL THAT HAS BEEN TROUNCED IS
THAT OF CHU/7335.  ONCE THE DOMINANT 41 METER BAND STATION IN THE DAYTIME,
THIS VERY WELL REKNOWNED AND IMPORTANT SERVICE IS NOW DROWNED OUT BY A
HIGH-POWERED EUROPEAN INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTER ON THE SAME FREQUENCY.
     DOES ANYONE KNOW IF CKFX/6080 IS BACK ON THE AIR ?

We have released a beta-test of our comprehensive guide to WWW
intelligence-related [as in NSA, CIA and other TLAs, not AI] resources.
A good entry point is at

     http://www.fas.org/pub/gen/fas/irp/intelwww.html

Some segments of these pages are still a bit nasty looking, and we
also have some more stuff we will be adding over the next week or so,
but I was hoping that folks might go ahead and take a look at this
stuff to see if there is anything obvious that we are missing.

Copenhagen, JAN. 20

In a recent posting Coro verifies 9550 kHz at 21 UT for Europe.
Quite a choice of frequency, as I here in the Danish capital
only hear Radio Moscow in French with an S9+20 dB signal on that
frequency.

The $29 Franklin Converter that's advertised in Monitoring Times
does a good job at copying CW. Of course, that's only part of the
story: This unit does a really good job at copying HF weather FAX
and news photos!!!!!! It also copies Baudot radioteletype (only
strong signals, however). To order one, call 1-800-439-8898.

This is a really good SWL accessory and it costs relatively
little.

Cw with hamcomm 3.00

I have setup the interface to the program HAMCOMM.
In CW, with a signal tuned in the spectrum page, I receive with strong signals
, no fading, one or more errors every 10-15 lett
rs.
Is it normal?

Is there software available for the SoundBlaster 32 that can utilize its
DSP as a real-time filter for a line-in off of my shortwave radio?  It
would be nice to be able to utilize my 486 with existing hardware as a DSP
engine for HF voice broadcast.

Commercial / shareware / freeware;  all acceptable.

Like a Drake, Collins, Hammarlund, etc.  I already have one, but
got this one in payment for some work done.  They retail new for
$179.00.  I'd like $120.00 which includes shipping.  The manuals
and the warrantee card are still with it.  E-mail me at my

I'm interested, however have read recent posting of people having
problems with this model keeping on frequency.  What condition is
it in?  What problems, if any, has he had?  I'm seriously interested,
but don't want to discover the unit has problems and that your friend's

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

Does anyone know of any Netscape accessible Great Circle calculators -
perhaps even with a city database of Lat & Long included?

Right after I started learning Esperanto, I wrote a leter to HCJB requesting
Esperanto penpals.  I wrote it in English, Spanish and Esperanto.
I heard from one English speaker and one Spanish speaker (from Peru) but NO
Esperantists.  Oh well.

Jim,
  There is a world of information available to you from the WUN group,
You can get the daily posts by subscription (no cost), and a world of
information in their FAQs which are frequently updated.  This is the best
Utility radio group anywhere!  Period!!

to subscribe send email to  [e-mail]  , in the body of text
type:

   subscribe wun

Thats it!  I promise you my friend, you will be "overloaded" with freqs,
modes, logs, etc.  You just cant monitor all thats out ther, you kinda
have to "specialize" in an area that interests you.

I kid you not, this is a great group managed by some very serious WUNers!

Butch

Helo there, and thank you for reading this.

We are two students at Oslo College of Engineering that are trying to solve an

 obligatory project.

We are to write a program that is suposed to calculate MUF and LUF from our
transmiting point, to various
(any) point on the globe.   We will only considder 3 - 30 MHz band.

Yes I know that there are zillions of things that affect this propagation, but

we are mainly going consern
ourselves with the Ionosphere, Sunspot numbers... etc. and not with such
"details" as antenna gain-patern, and
TX-power... etc.

What we need are such tings as:

        Models for this calculations, such as CCIR, Minimuf... etc. and their
        mathematical models.   We are unfortunately not able (time and brain
        considered..) to come up with tis formulas our selves.

        It would be VERY nice if someone had some of this formulas for MUF &
        LUF stashed away in their drawer, and could send them over to us at
        our E-mail address.  (See below)

        Any working "HF-Propagation" softweare that we can inspect and compare
        results with.   Again....  It would be VERY nice if we could in some
        way see / inspect the source-code to see how the h..#$!!!ñll they
        did the calculations.

This is an obligatory asignment for us,  so PLEASE do help us!   We need all
the help we can get!  We are
planing on using Wisual-Basic 3.0 for the actual programing.

        I work as a parking lot attendant, and I listen to radio much of
the day, both SW and MW.  Recently I've noticed a sudden decline in the
quality of MW reception.  Formerly, I got WLW and WILL easily.  Now I
hardly pick them up at all.

        I use a DX-392.  It still picks up SW fine.

        Does anyone have suggestions for improving WLW (Cincinnati, OH)
or WILL (Urbana, IL)?  I live and listen in Bloomington, IN, mid-way
between the two.  Would an active antenna help?  A long wire antenna?  My
booth is next to an electrical line, so that limits things.  Likewise, I
doubt my employers will let me string up wires all over the place.

        Thanks.

Not really but the two tests below will find most bad tubes. It will not
pick up weak tubes but even then a repair shop replaced tubes, perhaps
20 % of the tubes they replaced were actually bad (I know because the
local TV repair shop's trash can was a favorite hangout on trash day
and nearly all the tubes I scrounged tested good on a real tube tester!)

1. Use an ohmmeter to test for filament continuity.  The nice thing about
tubes (aside from their cheery glow) is that you can see inside - you can
locate the filametn by tracing from the pins - it will be the whitish
fine wire in the center of each of the sections.  Or, it is almost always
pins 3,4 on a 7 pin tube and 4,5 on a 9 pin tube.

2. Look for a silvery metal spot inside the tube.  If you see this, the vacuum
is intact.  If it is milky white or red, the tube has lost its vacuum.

These are all very common tube types.  Even today, they sell for less
than $10 new.  Years ago they were around $1-2.

These are pretty common old tubes.  Many are used in the classical "All
American five" five-tube radio chassis.  They're available from a few
sources these days, mostly made in Easter Europe.  Not worth squat.
Sorry.

> Is there a simple way to tell if the tubes are good ?  How

I think there is not. Filaments (heaters) can be checked with an ohm-
meter (and possible shorts between electrodes).
Were the tubes in their carton boxes or loose?
Tubes without boxes are probably used - some of them can be good still.
A tube tester would tell something, but it is hard to find one nowadays.
(And even harder to find a person who knows how to use it.)

===========================================

Those radios don't cover but a small portion of the radio spectrum.
Shortwave is only up to 30 MHz. Over that frequency, there are litterally
hundreds of thousands of transmissions.
A truly DC-to-Daylight reception system would have to cover from 30 KHz
to 2 GHz, and none of the radios you list will do that.
In reality, there are very few radios that will. Most people who want
that type of coverage get both a good SWR, and a good scanner (to cover
above 30 MHz).

If you are really looking for a good SWR, the ones you list have their
good points, and their not-so-good points. The portables simply can't
match the table-top models for their ability to suck signals out of the
air, though.
Best thing to do is to first determine what *you* want; portability vs.
table-top, cost vs. performance, etc. Then, determine which models fit
your needs. Then decide from those models.
Good luck.

Bill

INTERNET SPACE WEATHER AND RADIO PROPAGATION FORECASTING COURSE

     The Solar Terrestrial Dispatch is considering conducting an extensive
Internet based course designed to teach individuals with no experience how to
accurately forecast radio propagation and space weather conditions using
resources on the Internet and computer software.  The course would cover over
150 topics (see the preliminary outline below) and would also discuss the
proper use of several important software packages as aids in developing
forecasts (being considered for inclusion as part of the course work).

     A sample course outline follows the questionaire below.  Please review
it before reponding to the questionaire.

     Completion of this course would probably require between 3 and 6 months
with new course material provided on a weekly or biweekly basis.  The course
could begin as early as mid-February or early March.  Between 50 and 60
students could be enrolled at one time, accepted on a first-come first-served
basis (no prerequisites or previous formal education required).

     Please e-mail [e-mail] or [e-mail] with the
results of this questionaire so we can determine whether their is sufficient
interest to proceed.


                                 QUESTIONAIRE
                                 ------------

  1.  Does this course interest you?

  2.  This course could be enrolled in one of four different ways:
        A. Without the computer software & subscription (see outline below).
           Suggested price: $150.00USD
        B. With the computer software and without the subscription.
           Suggested price: $200.00USD
        C. Without the computer software and with the subscription.
           Suggested price: $200.00USD
        D. With both the computer software and the subscription.
           Suggested price: $250.00USD
      Which course-variant would you prefer to enroll in (A, B, C, or D)?

  3.  Are these price levels reasonable?  If not, specify what you feel would
      be more appropriate prices and indicate whether you would commit to
      taking the course at your suggested price levels.

  4.  Which method of delivery would you prefer:
        A. FTP-based extraction of Word-Perfect source with imbedded imagery
           all in compressed ZIP-type formats,
        B. WWW-based extraction of course material using software such as
           Netscape or Mosaic (not included as part of the course), or
        C. Postal-Mail delivery of course-work on printed paper (prices could
           be substantially higher with this delivery method).
      Which method of delivery would you prefer (A, B, or C)?

  5.  Are there any other topics you would like to see covered in this
      course?  If so, please specify.

     Thank you for taking the time to respond to this questionaire.  If there
is sufficient interest, we will post another Internet bulletin giving all of
the course details and pricing, etc, together with invitations for applicants
to begin enrolling in this course.

     The sample course outline follows below:

IRCs cost here in Finland 5.50 Finnish marks (FIM). I think the price
has been the same during last year. CDN$1 is about 3.30 FIM. (US$1 is
about 4.50 FIM).

I think, not too long after the FCC busted him, his special van got stolen (ac
cording to news reports). That's the last I ever heard=
 about him.

I heard it back in Oct 78, on a then-new Panasonic RF 2800. KDOR had a reasona
ble signal in Southwest Los Angeles, where I was livin=
g at the time. Its hours were kind of irregular though (sometimes, he'd broadc
ast till midnight, other times, he'd close up shop at =
eight p.m.)

What kind of stuff did KDOR play? (my memory is hazy as to its actual
program content . . .)

I may have heard this one around 1978-79. There was a station on 6420 that
played rock and roll music, with no voice or identification (once I stayed up
until 1 a.m., just waiting for this thing to *identify*!)

A radio magazine (S9, I think) once stated that there was a pirate station in
California called KVHF, that used 6420. I'm not quite sure if that was the
station I heard or the station you're talking about . . .

Friends,

The response has be excellent on my database offer, so I thought I'd
renew it again.

If you would like to receiv a Radio Station Database program that runs
under DOS with at least 4,000 records already, please reply to
this message at [e-mail].  The program will be sent via EMAIL
However, to expedite a reply to the program, include your Postal Mailing
Address for REGISTRATION.

The program is abolutely FREE.  It will run without another platform
from the C prompt.  It can be edited and update as you please.  It sorts
in a number of different routines: by station, by frequency, by schedule
by language, by country, and by continent ...

Hope to hear from.  Do not forget the Postal Address..

Chuck

I have noticed that TV is the uncontested major source of interference,
when I run my rig off the 170' (yes that is not a typo)<---  outside Long,
there is no interference.  However, when connected to the rigs reg.
antenna, the TV makes the rig go NUTZ!! (DX-394 BTW)..  Just thought I
would drop my 2 censt in..... HAVE A GREAT DAY..

I'm not sure about SW, but I know they are in Europe via
satellite.  I listen to a program called "Wha'dya Know?" on
Saturday mornings and they were taking calls from Euro listeners
who all reported that they were getting the feed via satellite
dish.  Also, when in Frankfurt last summer, I seem to remember
getting NPR via the American Forces Radio Network on Medium
Wave - 870 kHz I believe.

I apologize if this is the wrong group, but I figured there are
some in this group who log programs.
I am seeking times and frequencies of shortwave broadcasts
of Native American programs.  I know Jacob Eagle Eyes has a program
orginating from Florida, but don't know times and frequencies.
I also belive Floyd Heavy Runner airs his Pikyuni Radio Program
over shortwave.
Any help and advice (books, resources...) times and frequencies of
known programs will be greatly appreciated.

This ain't shortwave but KTNN (660 kHz, 50 kw, Winslow [sp?] Rock, AZ)
is Navajo-owned. I don't know if you can get it in Georgia what with
WFAN in my home town of Astoria, N.Y.C. Most of their programming at
night seems to be a satellite truckers network but they have Indian
stuff around 1300 or 1400 GMT (probably too far after sunrise for you)
and I think Sunday nights.

One interesting note--they are the only station in Arizona which
observes Daylight Savings--the Navajo reservation crosses state lines so
the Navajos observe DST. On the other hand, the Hopis, who are
surrounded by the Navajo reservation, go with the rest of the state and
use Mountain Standard Time all year.

Kinda an odd one:

6955    1853-1859       Spanish/Female/Groups of five numbers.  Started
by saying "Attencion" several times.  Ended with "Finale" twice.

6955    1900-1903       Same voice as above, began with "Attencion" ended
with "Finale" but much shorter broadcast.

Is 6955, the notorious pirate frequency, often used by numbers stations?

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

We are interested in designing/acquiring/modifying a radio (digital?) for
use by a severely handicapped individual who was a student before a
terrible accident.  Only breath-control is practical in this situation.
Control of power and tuning are obviously the essential functions needed.
We do not want to reinvent the wheel, and are wondering whether anyone has
already designed such a radio/interface.  I'd be pleased to hear from
anyone on this subject, before we start from scratch.  The idea here is
simply to allow this individual to surf the radio waves, shortwave and
other, since disability prevents other activity.

Thanks very much for any assistance.

Try a computer controllable HF rig with the appropriate windows based
control software.  Use a breath control mouse substitute which is a more
or less off the shelf item.

Good Luck

I am wondering if there are any public access Usenet newsreaders
out there.  The reader at CWRU seems to get only some messages,
and the one at MSU seems less reliable.  I like to stay
up to date with this newsgroup, but seem to miss important
messages.

Any suggestions
?

Thank you for yuor time.

You can get an unlimited unix shell account at netcom.com for ~$18/mo.
You can then telnet to netcom from your current system and use any of
several newsreaders including NN and TIN, among others. I used to use
NN. I now use TIN and I'm happy with it.

Radio Alegria has a show called El Show de las Locas which asks callers
to call in and tell gay jokes that are offensive to the gay community,
especially the latino gay communinity.  I am amazed that the show has
continued and that no issue has been raised about its existence.
It seems that gay people are the only group which can be made fun of
publicly.  It's wrong to make fun of fat people, ethnic groups and
females, but when it comes to gay people, society has not yet drawn the
line.  It is about time that the line is drawn and that the gay community
no longer tolerate such ridicule.  Write and call Radio Alegria and tell
them to cancel El Show de las Locas because it is offensive and
insults the gay community. Call:

I was listening to "As it Happens" this afternoon in Gresham, OR and they
were talking to "Sheila Cox" who was just sworn in as "Minister of
Heritage" in Canada and now a "Deputy Prime Minister" and they were
talking about the CBC and Radio Canada and the announcer asked her if
Radio Canada would survive as listeners in the Netherlands (and named
another country) were interested in its survival and she said "YES"!
which is good news.  She also said that CBC TV has to be unique and not
just like another Fox Channel.

Please forgive me if I am wrong about the ladies name as listening
conditions were not that good but it was good to hear that Radio Canada
International will survive according to her.

Take care,

Bruce aka China in Gresham, OR

That Sheila COPPS, the Deputy Prime Minister. She said clearly yesterday
that RCI would NOT die. Detils were sketchy, though.

However, if Ms. Copps HHHsays it's gonna happen, it WILL happen. Having
her say it is like a VERY sure thing. There is no American comparison to
the Deputy PM that I can come up with. The Deputy PM is more powerful
than the Vice-President, because the DPM is backed by the majority votes
in the House of Commons, enforced by party discipline. So if she says it
will hapeen in a public statement, it will.

I own one and am now beginning to put it through it's paces. I can say
that the audio is very good for a receiver of its size and class. As
far as the other specs are concerned, I will see in a short while.

   1996 WRTH is the 1996 edition of the "World Radio TV Handbook". Besides
having radio and TV broadcaster/transmitter info all over the world, the
WRTH has commentary and radio hardware reviews.

   My bookstore still does not have the 1996 edition, but, it should be
available most places in the US now or shortly.

  I bought one a couple of months ago.  The darn thing fell apart.
The eye's on the ends came off and the ribbon cable it's made of
peeled apart.  I think you could make better.

  BTW, the reception I got on it was as good as the long wire I have
outside.

Well, I think I'm getting a decent radio arranged for, now I'm thinking
about an antenna... I have a room (renter) in a house with a couple
friends. My window is under the eave of the house, and I'm thinking about
the Radio Shack inverted V antenna that would hang under the eave. This
antenna has 5 wires that each end at different lengths, for different
bands. Anyone know if this is a good buy?

Does someone have a spelling problem?  Is "Raido" supposed to be
"Radio?"  Is "hour country" supposed to be "our country?"  Is
"allso" supposed to be "also?"  I asking because maybe this
spelling is some new wave kind of thing that I am just not aware
of.

Today on the RCI news at 1300 UTC beamed to the USA there
was a report that the Prime Minister is going to replace
several cabinet ministers including the Honourable Michel
Dupuy, Minister of Canadian Heritage.  He has been involved
in the decision process to save RCI from its impending doom
on March 31.

I have no idea whether this is a positive development or a
negative one.  Was Mr. Dupuy for RCI or against it?

The cabinet shuffle affects all three portfolios that, IMHO, are
related to the RCI issue. Foreign Affairs (Ouellet --> Lloyd
Axworthy), Heritage (Dupuy --> Sheila Copps) and International Trade
(MacLaran --> Art Eggleton).

   I have no idea whether this is a positive development or a
   negative one.  Was Mr. Dupuy for RCI or against it?

Don't know.  I guess we all have a new list of people to fax, now.
(The only acknowledgement I received was from the PM's office.)  I do
know, however, that the decision to not find funds outside the CBC for
RCI was voted upon in Cabinet, so everyone (17 or so) had a say, not
just Dupuy.

Today's Globe and Mail reports that Lloyd Axworthy and Sheila Copps (new
ministers of Foreign Affairs and Culture respectively) have decided to
restore the government's contribution to RCI by sharing the contribution
among their two departments (previously Foreign Affairs covered the
government's share and the CBC provided the other share) from both their
departments budgets! An official announcement is yet to be made so don't start

celebrating yet.

I'd just like to thank all the people around the world, Canadian and
non-Canadian who have been innundating the government with faxes and
letters in defence of RCI. Until the announcement is official, keep
those cards and letters coming!

Has there been any word from CBC about their willingness to restore their
half of RCI's budget?

For a long time I had an intermittent problem with my synch. (It'd unlock
after just seconds and wouldn't relock.) Finally, when it stopped working
completely, I sent the SW100S to Sony in Mass; they changed a blown transistor
,
but managed to scrape the case. And there's now a little piece of lint behind
the screen. I understand that they aren't particularly careful with other
people's property up at the Mass repair facility, not just my radio.

Anybody have this radio...What do you think of it.  Just got one used for
25 bucks...I know it sells for 99, so that's something of a good deal, but,
theres no knob for dialing...you can only enter in 5khz increments...
I'd appreciate any comments or info on this radio. Thanks. Rob R.

Well, I did write a letter to PM. Jean Chretien after reading
The Coalition (to Resotre Full RCI Funding)'s page via FAX.
Hope I could express some foreigners' point of view...

I'm a native Taiwanese, living in Taipei and only having been in
Canada once (to take part in Expo-Science Pancanadienne '94 as a
foreign participant). RCI is the only Canadian source of
Canadian issues, which are quite remote to most non-Canadians.
English SW broadcasting in Asia is, well, at least here, very scarce,
and I'm sure that RCI expresses some viewpoints that are quite
outstanding that neither VOA nor BBC could substitude.
In addition its six-o'clock news wakes me up everyday...

It's sad to learn that many SW broadcasters are facing budget-cut
due to government policy changes. True, the cold war is over,
and in lands like mine, cable TVs are popular enough so that
every household could watch CNN without break. Yet in Asia,
SW is a crucial source not only lanauge learners
(VOA/BBC/RCI to people do English, as
RF to those do French and DW to those do German) but also those
who're eager looking for more information and opinions, especially
those whose source of information is confined to government-controlled
medias (thanks heaven, not in Taiwan any more).

I remember in a radio-related program of BBC an interviewee
expressed the opinion that cutting SW broadcaster's fund is
a way to undermine a country's cultural cultivation and
contribution to the world. IMHO it's especially true to Canada,
a country whose name is mentioned and known only during the
jitter of (every) Quebec referendum, and whose (national/cultural) identity is

often mixed with its south-of-the-border Americans.

Anyway... how's the Restoration campaign now? Is there anything
we can do further?

Hi Bob...

Try 9545 and 5020 kHz for the Solomon Islands BC, from Honiara:

Broadcasts are in English or Pidgin.

5020  1900-1130 GMT
9545  2100-1130 GMT

Monday-Friday 0100-0800 is a good block for English on both freqs.

Info from the '96 Passport to World Band Radio.

Hope this helps...

Propagation on the higher shortwave bands has been ropey
recently, but better down on mediumwave and in the tropical
bands. I noted the following in Cambridge, England, using
a Sony 2001D:

CHINA
Tibet PBS, Tibetan service heard in parallel on 4035, 4820
  and 5020 kHz, 2345-0005, 21-22 Jan 96. Chinese service
  also noted on 4750 kHz, 0035 on 21 Jan, in parallel with
  much stronger Xinjiang PBS on 4500 kHz.

JORDAN (?)
Arabic music & speech, strong on 1494 kHz, 0010-0030, 22
  Jan 96. Presumed Jordan with extended hours for Ramadan.

USA
1500 kHz: Presumed WTOP, Washington DC. News programme,
  reports on U.S. Congress and traffic & weather reports
  for Washington DC area. 0020-0025, 22 Jan 96.

1510 kHz: Presumed WSSH, Boston Mass. Spanish language,
  sounded like sports report, frequent mention of NBA.
   0010-0020, 22 Jan 96. (Has this station changed its
   format again?!)

This is a bit harsh. I also use an AN-1 and if you don't expect miracles
it can work well. I primarily use it with my Sony 7600 when I'm traveling.
The usable signal inside most hotel rooms -- even high-rise ones -- is
negligable when you get more than a foot or two from the window. But, put
the AN-1 on the window sill, roll out the cable and voila! reasonable
recpetion in the middle of the room.

Bottom line is if you can carry your radio to a place that has decent
reception, but don't want to listen there, an indoor antenna can be a good
signal 'pump' to get the usable signal to a more convenient location. If
you can't find a good location by carrying your radio around, you probably
need an outdoor antenna to really make any improvement.

Don't get one unless you can mount it in a good outdoor location.
You can use an AC adaptor instead of batteries.
An outdoor longwire is still better for SW, but on the Sony ICF 2010,
the AN-1 is handy for switching between SW and MW without
switching antennas.  If it's picking up too much noise, you can
use the telescopic instead.

I've canvassed a lot of opinion about which is the better set for the keen
world band listener who wants a bit more oomph to home in on weaker
signals.  Not ravenous DX-ing, but certainly some snooping for more exotic
signals.

I'm told the Satelit 700 sounds nice, but falls short in the sensitivity
and selectivity departments.  I'm also told that the venerable Sony ICF
2010 is as good as a medium-advanced portable as can be found.

There are features of the 2010 I don't like, like the synchronous mode
that does not switch off when the rig is tuned, and like the lack of
slewing ability.  But I could live with these minor inconveniences if
(IF!) the electronics are superior.

So?

E-mail replies, please, unless your thoughts are so profound as to merit
wide distribution. (Now that I think about it, the S-700 vs 2010 question
is far from settled.)


Thanks in advance.

G'day to everyone in this newsgroup from Queensland, Australia.
I was wondering about the differences in the sony ICF-7600 models.
I have heard that the G versin is the latest and has a sync detector but
that was a few years ago.  Which one is the best ? which one is the
newest ?
Thanks

        I bought one six or eight months ago that had a horribly
inaccurate dial.  Though I perhaps could have opened it up and adjusted it,
I didn't want to void the warranty (plus, this radio was a gift to
someone else).
        So I returned it to the store and got another one.  The second
one was *much* more accurate... not perfect, but quite acceptable.

I would like to do a little exploring with SWL. I will be going to the Ham
Fest here in Dayton, in May I believe, and would like to pick up a used SW
reciever suitable for a beginner. I would like it to be a tube unit,
something I can fix/mod if need be, but would settle for solidstate if I
need/have to. Can someone suggest some radios which would work well for me and
perhaps suggest what fair priced might be? Thanks very much.

Anything you learn in a posting to rec.radio.shortwave, represent
the opinion or best recollection of one person.  That said ...

IMHO ...

I'd be careful about getting a vacuum tube radio.  Tubes have
become increasingly rare and, as a result, costly.  Furthermore,
older receivers may have other components that must be replaced,
some of which may not be readily available.  Lastly, many of
the solid-state receivers take advantage of a whole new spectrum of
components and techniques, that were simply unavailable to the
designers of vacuum tube sets.

A few advantages of reasonably priced modern receivers are that
they are smaller and lighter, less power hungry, more sensitive,
and easier to operate than the older tube receivers are/were.
Direct digital frequency entry, phase-lock-loop frequency control,
synchronous detection, and much more precise filtering are features
of the solid-state "computers that think like radios", that the
vacuum tube designers would have killed for.

For the reasons given above, unless you have a particular interest
in antiques radios, you might want to check out the reviews in
"Passport to Worldband Radio" of many available and recently
available (think available used) receivers.  Also, Radio
Netherlands has some reviews on their Website, which can be
accessed through links at http://itre.ncsu.edu/radio/ .

Tom,
   I have both the 1996's and have purchased both every year since 1989.
   I find the PWBR to be more vital. When DXing, I have the latest
Monitoring Times and the PWBR at my side. The WRTH is interesting and a
backup. The WRTH is fun to browse, you always feel that somewhere in all
that information is another interesting tidbit that you didn't notice
before. But for ease of use the Blue Pages are great. When I'm still not
sure what I've got, then I double check with the WRTH.
   For addresses I use the PWBR.

   But then 50% of the PWBR I ignore! Go figure.

   Charlie in western KY.

BBC is not commercial.  (yet!)

If you're wanting to listen to the major international broadcasters
who put fairly strong signals into your area, look for something like
the Grundig YB400.  If you're after weaker stations, forget the
portables nad the price range you've given (regardless of the contrary
advice you will receive in response to your post, and go for a
communications receiver - R8A or similar.

Rob,

Two excellent portable radios in this price range (actually slightly
less) are the Grundig YB-400 and the Sony 7600G (the 'G' is important).
If don't mind a used radio, the Grundig Satelite 700 and the Sony ICF-
2010 are both known to be outstanding radios.  Lotsa discussion on the
merits of each units.  Overall the Grundigs are noted for superior audio
while the Sonys are known for their DX abilities.

Good Luck,

Perry

In that price range (for new equipment) you're looking at a portable.
Good ones to start looking at are the Grundig Yacht Boy 400 (about
$200-250) or the Grundig Yacht Boy 305 (about $150).  I have the 400.
Look into the reviews in the "Passport to World Band Radio 1996" at your
local bookstore, it has tons of reviews and gigatons of excellent
information for short wave listening.

As for my opinion, I have the YB400 and like it (it has digital frequency
input, single side band reception, alarm clock, dual time readouts, wide
coverage) but I've been thinking I should have gotten a YB 305 instead,
since I live on the West Coast and the 305 is supposed to be able to pull
in weak signals better, though it has a few less features.

Good luck, it's a lot of fun!

No.  Ecos del Torbes is on 4980 kHz.  This may be the new Colombian station
called Ecos del Orinoco, which plays both Latin American and U.S. pop music.
Actually, when I heard them the other night for the first time, they even
had a Spanish version of the Mariah Carey song "Hero."  From your
description, it sounds like their programming, and they can be heard pretty
well up here in North American before they sign off around 0500.

hi,
propably it is not a good idea, since your neighbour's TVs will feed a
lot of interference into the cable system. To my experience it is
the best to stay as far away as possible from the cable line. Unplugging
your own TV (and VCR, FM-radio) from the cable while listening to SW
also often reduces interference.

 VOLMET stations broadcast aviation weather information to aircraft in
flight. They are transmit-only stations that broadcast on set
schedules. Several VOLMET stations in a given area share common
frequencies. Each one taking its turn on the air for a given amount of
time each half-hour.

VOLMET is French for "flying weather."

It's not an European or third world thing. Just a Universal Postal Union
thing. In other words, most national postal/mail organisations throughout
the world.

It is basically a printed coupon which you can, in theory, buy at any post
office anywhere in the world, and then send to a recipient who can exchange
it for a stamp to reply to the sender. The wording on the back of the IRC
says:

"This coupon is exchangeable in any country of the Universal Postal Union for
one or more postage stamps representing the minimum postage for an
unregistered letter sent by surface to a foreign country."

In practice, most countries sell and accept, but local offices sometimes
don't know what they are, leading to problems. Therefore they have become an
unofficial currency to DXers, who use them for buying goods, as well as
occasionally exchanging for stamps.

In the UK, they cost 60p to buy (not sure about that though - latest Royal
Mail international catalogue doesn't even list them!), but you will only get
a 25p stamp in exchange. As far I know, the current 'black market' value (in
the UK at least) is around the 40p - 50p area, a much better rate of return.

It's a nice idea, and far safer than sending dollars through the post. But
the cost of them is prohibitive to many. Shame really.

I think in the UK you get 41p for an IRC at the PO; i.e an airmail stamp

An IRC is an International Reply Coupon.  You get them at US post offices
and enclose them with your QSL or whatever.  In many countries they
can be exchanged for stamps for return postage. In many cases (esp. 3rd
world countries) it's actually more beneficial to send a couple dollars
of cold, hard US cash, since the receiver has to trek to a local PO to
exchange the IRC, and some countries don't accept IRCs (besides, IRCs are
kinda expensive - about $1.10 each).

Programs from this transmitter has been discontinued (temporarily, as

On-air testing of the fourth transmitter at WWCR in Nashville, TN USA
has been delayed.  I spoke with Adam Lock today, and he tells me that
the transmitter has been completely installed.  The problem however
is that the local electric company has not installed the necessary
electrical connections to run the xmtr.  He feels as if this will be done
sometime next week.

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

   Thanks,
   Dennis

The cheapest price I saw was at Best Products (not Best Buy) Stores.
I stuck a thin strip of writable tape over the AM scale, and marked
a lot of the clear channels more accurately.  Also, I recommend
using a Select-A-Tenna* with this radio, which boosts weak signals.

  Granted, but the cheap Chinese sets that sell for under US$30 *are*
affordable (and there are often similarly priced local alternatives in
places like Bangladesh) by the 'average joe' and even when they aren't
it is my impression (and I have no first hand knowledge to prove or dis-
prove this) that many villages and 'social clubs' exist that pool individuals
money together and purchase a SW set for all to use that no one of them
could afford otherwise.  -- Call it 'radiopooling' and it even sounds
kind of envirnomentally friendly!  :)  True, the same could be done with
satellites, and probably will be at some point, but it isn't there yet,
so to go with the 'latest technology' before the audience is there
while at the same time abandoning the older technology where the audience
still is implies that 1) you aren't really interested in reaching an
audience and/or 2) you care more about appearing to be 'on top of things'
than you do about effective communication.

  If you LIKE an information superhighway full of things like Roseanne reruns,
instead of things like the BBC World Service programming, you're right,
'ABC' has the right idea.  If your tastes run somewhat more esoteric though,
you better hope the SWBCers stick around where the audience actually is
(and at the same time develop connections that will allow them to migrate
when the audience does move) or I've a feeling they'll just fold.

  Any broadcasters care to comment?    73  //kvz

Last month I purchased an AR-8000 and planned to use it for Scanning and
Satellite SCPC listening (950 Mhz - 1450 Mhz from LNB).I connected the
Receiver to the Satellite LNB and was searching for the SCPC
signals,between 1300 Mhz-1430 Mhz I started to pick up Cell phones,taxi
cabs,and other general mobile radio signals.Now because of these images in
that Freq range even while connected to the LNB the AR-8000 was useless
for SCPC reception.Since that was one of the main reasons I purchased the
receiver I decided to return it for a refund.I would like to know if
anyone else has found these images in that Freq range on the AR-8000?I
would also like to hear from Owners of the Yupiteru 7100 or 7200 on if
they have heard Images in the 950 Mhz - 1450 Mhz range?I am considering
purchasing a Yupiteru Receiver.but If they have imaging problems in that
frequency range I would go in a different direction.I would rather buy a
very fast quality pure scanner like the BC9000XLT and find another way to
receive SCPC.

Mostly oldies.

There seem to be two kinds of people in this world; the people who
design the systems, and the people who program them, and Dick and the
people around him were more of the design variety.

He really didn't have a format. Like a lot of pirate stations, the
medium was the message. The software was whatever was around, and for
him it was a collection of oldies records, and whatever other records
that people wanted to donate.

It was just so cool to get a signal on the air that it was a reward in
itself. The idea of actually programming it to attract an audience
beyond the signal-curious wasn't much considered. There was, always,
the thought of the men in the gray panel vans.

What do you want anyhow, Kenwood quality at MFJ prices, then go talk
to Kenwood about reducing their prices.
As for us poor-folk, we'll tolerate MFJ, at least we can afford it.

So you have to tinker with it to get it work, sure beats sending it
back and waiting 6 months like Kenwood products, by then it's passe.

Dennis,

  I must admit that reading this group is the first I have heard of
this problem.  I suppose I have avoided this problem by proper
grounding and disconnecting my antenna when I'm not using the radio.
I seldom use the built in telescoping antenna.  Even when travelling,
I carry a roll of antenna wire and some rope.  The places I go allow
me to throw a rope over a couple of tree limbs and I'm in business.

Hello to everybody. I have a strange problem with my grunding sat 500
receiver. I've bought it by second hand, if I use my external antenna (an
horizontal dipole east-west oriented) and I tune the receiver on a station
I see on the level meter a certain level . If i extracts the SAT 500 telescopi
c
antenna and I switch the antenna selector to "INTERNAL" (while the external
is connected at the receiver) the signal level is
increased by two or three points and the quality of the signal ncrease too.
I don't beleive that this is caused by my position because my apartment is
at the fourth floor in an eigth floor building and I'm surronded by other


buildings , so the internal  antenna cannot be better than the external one.

Can this behaviour be caused by an internal amplifier of the SAT 500 that is
activated by the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL switch ? Or simply my receiver has the
external antenna input broken ????
Can anyone help me (by e-mail please ?)
Thanks in advance .

Sebastiano.

Some firms offered a 10 turn Bournes pot mod for the Delta tune feature on the
NRD-515 radio. Anyone know who still does it. Is it hard to do by yourself?

 I received my 2010 in the mid 80's.  It was given to me by my dear wife as
a Christmas gift.   Since then I wrote several articles about the radio that
appeared in Monitoring Times Magazine.   I think I was the first to discover
and write an article about F.E.T. problem.  I also developed several "mods"
for the radio.

I don't own another portable so I can only compare it to a high quality
communications receiver like the Icom R71.   Of course there's no comparison!
The Sony 2010 is performs very good in AM or Synchronous mode but isn't
does a poor job with SSB.

The main problem is the I.F. filter which passes both upper and lower side
bands.  The synchronous detector rejects the other side band.  The scheme
works but in a crowded condition, like the Ham bands, the filter will pass
signals that will cause the radio to reduce the sensetivity.  You won't
here the signal because it's rejected by the detector but it passes through
the I.F. and caused the A.G.C. to responed.

I corrected the problem in my 2010 by installing two (one for USB and the
other for LSB) Rockwell/Collins Torsenal Mechanical Filters at $150 each.
The filter cost almost as much as the radio but it works great on SSB.
The only other problem is image rejection when an external antenna is
installed.  I'm solving this problem by designing a microprocessor controlled
preselector front end.

The radio is worth about $225 new.  So, $125 is not a bad price. The radio is
pretty good but lacks some of the
expensive stuff like sync detection. I would also come up with a longwire ante
nna as the built in one is marginal.
I had one of these radios with a amplified antenna and was happy with it. I ha
ve a Grundig sat 700 and am very
happy with that radio. The money are are looking to spend will leave you with
few options and I think the
sangean will do what you want. You also may want to look at buying an external
 speaker. The radio supports
upper and lower side band reception and works well. There are a couple of mods
 for the radio too..

Go for the Grundig. I got one for Christmas and it's excellent.
Especially for a beginner.  One unexpected benefit was that on AM (MW)
the sensitivity was as good as my GE Superradio II!!
The tone quality is also very good for a radio of its size.

  We've got a couple in the club (I'm a Yupi MVT-7100 owner myself)
and they seem to do fairly well on HF.  The 8000 was reputed to
be not quite as good on the SW bands as the Yupi, but when I've
seen it perform, it seems to do pretty well.
  We're planning on having a 'competition' between the two
real soon now.
  Generally, I'd say the Yupi and the AOR do about as well
as the Sangean ATS-803A, but their filters are a little wider
(and sometimes a bit too wide on a crowded band).
  Sure wish they had sync detection though.  :-)

I use mine with 20' of RG-6 for an antenna and it works great.  I seem to
be able to pull in most of the major SW stations (only most due to location).
The USB and LSB seem to operate as well as most HAM HF rigs.  All in all
I have to say I'm happy with it for HF work.

Cheers!!!

Bob, I'd pay maybe $175 if it were in excellent condition with an
external speaker.  The seller may not be interested in selling at
this price however... Take me, for instance.  I have a
Hallicrafters SX-42 with external speaker and the original owners
manual.  This rig arguably has the best AM fidelity sound of any
shortwave receiver ever built, and I wouldn't sell it for
anything less than $700, but I bought it for $150!

Good luck.

something like 1800 or 2100 or 1600. Can anyone tell me what this means ?

Not withstanding other replies you've had, the 803A retails in the UK - or did

until recently for less than $125 - and I doubt that it is more expensive in
the US. Not much is!

It is a good set from starter up to quite serious level, and there are some
good and simple mods that make it even better. In good-to-reasonable
condition, your $50-80 sounds just right.

The best price I've seen is $399 at J&R Music World in New York.
Unfortunately, the last time I was in there it was labeled as an "in store
special."  I don't know what their mail order price would be.

Sorry I don't have an answer, but strangely enough the same thing happened
to my Grundig Sat 700.  The FM and SW work fine, but the AM just crapped
out.  It can get stations very high on the AM spectrum (i.e., 1500 or
higher), but when I turn the tuning dial it loses even that.

Amateur radio operators (hams) are creating worldwide havoc, how
may you ask ?  well these seemingly harmless radios emit
radiation across the world. The scoundrels that use transmitting
devices actually transmit radio waves that can cause cancer and
genetic havoc, remember there has to be a lot of power to send a
voice signal from Canada to Africa !! at this very moment radio
waves are being bounced at the ionosphere, hemisphere whereby
they bounce off this enevelope sourounding the earth and are
reflected into another part of the world !! radiation galore !
Not only is radiation harmful to humans, but what about the
catastrophic mess thats done to our television and radio
reception. You can be sure that a lot of these scoundrels
build homemade equipment in the darkness of their basements that
exceed the rules of society, creating further disaster to the
environment. What can we do ... ell perhaps taxing the operators
to a hefty sum would suffice, you see most of the radio
transmitters have to be licenced, most are ?
contact your local member of parliment or senator and strongly
suggest that the taxes for licencing be raised greatly, we all
can use the extra finances for worthy projects, like feeding the
hungry children of the world.

A vertical antenna tends to be more prone to pick up man-made
electrical interference, ignition noise, etc.

You might want to consider a slope antenna, which is considered
somewhat better at picking up long-haul SW signals.

If you are not satisfied with your current antenna's performance,
remember that we're in the low point of the solar cycle and reception
conditions are poor since solar activity is so low.

Before doing all the work to redo an antenna, check lower frequencies
and you'll find somewhat stronger signals.  (Note too that many
stations keep going lower and lower in frequency, trying to find a
band that is propagating well!)

FWIW,

Not here in Westerville, OH.  The freq. has been dead.  I've had much
better reception dialing them in direct on my 2010.  Don't think I've
heard them on 6070 for the last couple of weeks.

I had posted a few weeks ago about hearing a Time Station on 570 and 790
kHz, and was told by several of you that it was Cuba's Radio Reloj (thanks
for writing!)  I heard the stations in rural Mississippi, 65 miles NE of
New Orleans.  On subsequent occasions I have received them again
(particularly the 790) at that location.

So why am I posting?  Hope this isn't much ado about nothing.  In
Mississippi there was an ID "Radio Reloj" and a four note chime (in my
previous post I said that it was 3 notes. Sorry.)  Last night, for the
first time, I was able to pick up Radio Reloj here in New Orleans, at 570.
 However, at the minute, instead of a chime, there were "beeps" ("RR" in
morse code).  I listened at the same time of night in both Mississippi and
New Orleans (mainly 2000-2100 local time).  Why the difference?

There are great differences in what I pick up on MW at the two locations.
Could Radio Reloj be broadcasting from different sites in Cuba, and I'm
picking up one station in Miss and another in N.O.?  What complicates it
somewhat for me is that Radio Reloj is not listed at 570 in the WRTH (of
course, I know that stations change frequencies from time to time.)

Thanks for any help.  73's.

Hah, you probably have some tubes from those AC/DC line transformerless
radios. The 35C5 is a power pentode or tetrode. The 35W4 is a
rectifier.  The 12BE6 is a converter. The 12AV6 is a dual triode.
If I remember correctly the filament current is 0.15A. They were usually
wired in series to make up 100-120V worth of voltage drop which is
just right for US power standard.

Just give them to a tube enthusiast. He/she will know what to do with
them.

Bothers me that I actually can remember this stuff. :-)

I have an OB340, and that uses 4AA cells. But it needs 6 batteries,
because the AA ones are there to power the radio. It needs 2 AAA cells
to maintain the presets and the clock - you need the 2AAA's even if you
use a 6V DC adapter (which I do), because once the batteries leaked :-(
and then I found that the clock wouldn't work, because I had to throw
out the AA and the AAA batteries... so I bought some more!

I have a Drake R8 and had it only for a week when I connected
a longwire to it.  The wire had built up static charge, and you
guessed it, antenna 2 was history.  No reception.  For me, the
problem was that I fried a coil on the input.  I'm not sure
if you had this particular problem, but I know that I have been
careful to remove any static charge from the unit.  I also
won't transmit when the radio is on.

I understand from a Vancouver (B.C.) shop that there's a guy in Yakima,
Wa. who, for US$59, will install a new set of filters that correct what
many feel is a too-broad wide filter.  According to my source, this does
the trick.

I wonder if anyone else out there has had this procedure done to their
2010.

6175 is Sackville, New Brunswick (RCI relay) and 5975 from Antigua

Here's the results I've received so far of the most recent DX tests:

WANM-1070 Tallahassee, FL tested 1/20/96 from 3:00-3:30 am EST:

Jim Leder of Cincinnati, OH reports he heard many, many, many CIDs from
this test under a really strong signal from WIBC in Indianapolis.

Gerry Bishop of Niceville, FL says that for this test he heard 30
minutes of CIDs and nothing else.

Here in Huntsville, AL, I also heard nothing but CIDs as well, just
"WANM" over and over, but I had to leave at about 11 past the hour due
to some back problems.

KTLC-1460 Dickinson, ND tested 1/23/96 from 2:30-3:30 am EST:

Tim Noonan of Madison, WI reports that he heard this test with clear
code at 3:15 EST.

Andy Gardner of Wellington, New Zealand tried for the test but found the
frequency was dominated by KULA in HI, tho he did heard some other
stations on 1460 as well.

Gerry Bishop of Niceville, FL was unable to hear the test, as was the
case here in Huntsville, AL. I understand that the test was supposed to
be run non-directional but someone at the station "forgot" that and it
was run directional.

Some final reports on the KBOZ-1090 test:

KBOZ-1090, scheduled to test 1/15/96 from 2:30-3:00 am EST:

Art Burke of Kansas City, MO (actually Lenexa, KS) tried for the test
with no success, as did Patrick Mason of Mililani, HI. As was reported
earlier, this test was a no-show and has been rescheduled for 2/12/96.

That's all for now...

when the satellite feed goes out, a local taped music program

The operator of KVHF is alive and well and still in the same locale in
Santa Ana, California. He is active in amateur radio and still interested
in commercial broadcast. As I recall, the KVHF transmitter's downfall
went undetected by the FCC until the night that broadcasting was
commenced earlier than usual and caused TVI. The neighbor complianed to
the FCC and a nearby monitoring van swooped in for the kill. The
HF transmitter ended up rusting away in someone's backyard.....

 I still have my QSL card from KVHF!

Lets see, tell me that you don't use ONETHING everyday of your life that
doesn't have any RF? Maybe the police should just stop transmitting and
send smoke signals.

HAMS use very low power compared to the international broadcasters you listen
too. They also provide emergency communications and good will.

Still heard here in Massachusetts from around 1300 when the MUF climbs
high enough to support the path until 2300 or so when the MUF gets too
low and/or they're covered by others.

Just poor propagation is hindering your reception. They'll be back.

Hello,

I'm interested in your database, but I am reluctant to give my entire
postal address to someone that keeps insisting on it...

Might I ask why the postal address is needed when you are emailing the
software?  Most people would just accept the email address as a form of
registration.  Are you planning on sending out anything by post to people
that register?

If you get a chance, can you send me a copy of your database?

I have also heard that 570 kHz in Minnesota some time back.  Heard the
voice ID as "Radio Reloj" and had to assume Cuba.  (Although I didn't see
it in the 1995 or 96 WRTH, either.)  Although "Radio Reloj" is a common
Latin American name, distance and conditions make me continue to presume
it could only be Cuba.

<<Irrational diatribe deleted>>

Ben,

If my ham transmitter at 100 watts output is causing cancer and genetic
havoc, what are broadcast radio and TV stations doing with the tens of
thousands ... even hundreds of thousands of watts that they use doing?
How about commercial radio users, police, fire, aircraft, radar and so
on?  Why the big attack on the hams?  We communicate over long distance
by virtue of excellent recievers, antennas, and operating technique
rather than raw power.

It sounds like you're pissed because some local ham is messing up your
viewing of "The Simpsons" or some equally intellectual faire.  Face the
fact that your cost reduced TV reciever is just picking up signals it
wouldn't  and shouldn't if it had been designed right, and GET A LIFE!
Take your life problem up with the manufacturer of your TV set.

Hi!

I am an old DX-er from Sweden currently getting my PhD at Berkeley.
I was thinking about listening in on Northern European
(Radio Sweden, DLF, RBI, ORF, Luxemburg?) stations here but don't have
a clue how well it will work.
What radio (minimum) is required?
What antenna (minimum) is required?
All tips greatly appreciated!

Jeff, fire up the AOL Web browser and dial up

is the one area of digital signal listening that I follow fairly closely.
I'm always interested in updates and new additions to the list.

If this is true (which I sincerely hope) then I am glad to see hear that
common sense has [eventually] prevailed within the Canadian government.

This morning, 27 Jan. 1996 I heard RFPI in English on 6205 usb.

I listened from 0907 to 0934 UTC, program was "My Green Earth."

Reception in western KY : SIO 453.

rec: DX440, 70 foot longwire running sw-ne at 30 feet.

I've seen no notice of this anywhere.

Charlie.

Looking to contact other pennant collectors interested in swapping
pennants. I have more than forty different duplicates to trade, and
will also buy unwanted pennants and collections. You can see pictures
of my duplicates on my homepage at:

Yes, quite a few.  You may want to obtain "Flavaj Pagxoj de Esperanto"
from ftp.stack.urc.tue.nl, in the directory
pub/esperanto/introductions.dir.  A nice web page to start with is
http://www.webcom.com/~donh/

You may also want to check out news group soc.culture.esperanto.

I saw on a SW Web Page a listing of DX clubs, and noticed a listing for a
Drake SPR4 User Group in West Virginia.  Has contact and address, but no
phone.

Is this group still active? Is there a newsletter? If so, does anyone have
back issues? Please let me know, as I recently picked up a SPR4

Thanks

It is a measure in watts per square meter.  There is a formula for it,
but I don't know what it is.

Grant, you have no clue about how hatred and bigotry progresses in a

then legislation.

Bigotry needs to be stopped in ALL its forms.

 I'm interested in a sw rcvr that I could mount in-dash in my car. It would be

nice if it also had fm-stereo. I was told that Becker makes a model called the

Mexico 2230 that would fit the bill, but I haven't been able to find it yet.
Does anyone know of any other radios that are made for this?

a kicker put on this radio, and now it does not seem to work.  The radio
is connected to an Antron 99 antenna.  However, when connect a ordinary CB
radio to the antenna, the range I get is terrific.  Any ideas as to what
is going on...other than a defective Ranger?  Please reply to

To quote from the 1994 WRTH :

"In October '93 Jean-Paul Brodier of 3 Place de la Fontaine, F-57420
Curvy in France launched a simple and well constructed keypad for the
FRG 100 which simply plugs into the CAT socket. This costs FF420
[postage extra] (tel : [phone] FAX : [phone]).

It is also available in Holland through Cl Electronics, PO Box 22089,
6530 AB Nuth, The Netherlands. FAX : [phone]. The price is 135
Dutch Guilders plus postage."

Note, Dutch telephone numbers (and probably the prices too) have changed
since the above was written, perhaps a chat with the international
directory enquiry operator may help there ?

I don't know what this has to do with shortwave, but nowhere is it
said or writen that only big corporations can make money. Of cousre
you right-wingers with your so called corner on the truth would like
to have it otherwise, but it ain't so. You really ought to stop
spending so much time listening to WWCR and get out of the house and
see what's really going on. And speaking of giving it away I'll tell
you what how about we compare who gave to what charities both last
year and this year? Or how about time spent doing community service?
You really ought to wake up and look around. No one is buying that
right-wing crap anymore polls show it and so do radio shows like mine.

Your radio was designed for the the South American , African, and
Australian radio markets. Russia hoped to export these radios to bring in
hard currency. As to the dial being backwards, this is normal for radios
either manufactured in or exported into the Southern hemisphere. LPs and
CDs also spin "backwards"; which is why you never see these products from
countries below the Equator. For example, Olivia Newton-John LPs and CDs
in the stores are made by companies in the US otherwise they wouldn't work
up here. Even stranger is that when they flush their toilets, the water
flushes in reverse!
Occasionally you'll see a car radio with the tuning reversed; this is
because they wanted to sell them "down under" but they got into the "grey
goods" market and showed up here.

I use to work for a CD manufacturer,  and we did a lot of radio
syndication programs that were distributed around the world.  We had to
make two sets of CD's,  a northern hemisphere set and a southern
hemisphere set.  One time a run of northern hemisphere discs of a
popular countdown show were sent "down under" by mistake.  As a result
a lot of "subliminal material" was in the clear instead of being
properly backward masked as designed. :-)

I have heard that it is possible to somehow hook up a shortwave radio
to the computer in order to receive signals that will echo to the
screen- weather maps, satellite news photos and the like. Is this
true, and if so, how is it done?

I heard them too here in Sweden, at 2330 UTC last night! The address is:
Ecos del Orinoco, Puerto Carre±o, Vichada, Colombia. If you want more
about them go to Nordic Shortwave Center on the Web!

Why don't you go to Radio Shack and order a new knob.  It usually takes about
a
week to get and if you ask, they will just mail it directly to your home.

Hi John,

I also own a 2010, and have suffered the FET front end problem you noted.
I replaced the SW preamp with a Sylvania ECG312, and it works fine, but I
was wondering if one of your 'mods' included a fix to prevent the
problem from happening again.  The first time, all it took was a walk
across the carpet....

Thanks,

i used to live north of peoria illinois and i could get wlw all day
and all night....maybe you should get a higher quality radio or
perhaps a Tenna Tuner which is a $65 tuner that inductively helps your
radio with a better antenna.

The latest Monitoring Times mentioned a new loop antenna from Kiwa
that covers 530 khz to 20 mhz that can fold up into your pocket. So
far there's no mention of it on Kiwa's web site. Does anyone have any
info as to price or when it will be available?

Summary: Want one.
Keywords: Super Radio III G.E.

Hello!

About a month ago I inquired about getting a radio with excellent radio
reception, especially in the A.M. spectrum of things.  I am interested
in picking up some distant broadcasts with it.  I got a suggestion to
purchase a Super Radio III, which I have seen mentioned here a couple
times.  Problem is, K-Mart, the one place I know of locally that
sold them says they are discontinued.  I went to radio shack and asked
if they had anything similar, and they sold me a combo fm/am/tv1/tv2/aviation/
weather radio, but the A.M. reception was poor at best so I returned it.

So:
I have two options
1. Find someone to sell me theirs if they no longer need it, or if
it would be possible to find some kind soul who can still pick these up
new to purchase one for me, I would of course take care of all the monetary
concerns.

2. Someone suggest to me a really nice but cheap if possible A.M. tuner,
preferably something portable.

Email would be most appreciated.

Thanks

I had a Sanyo (or maybe it was a Panasonic) portable cassette player
with very basic SW ability. I would like to know if there are any such
models out there any more. It performed fairly well, especially when I
think how weak my overpriced YB500 is.

Hello all,

Been lurking for a bit and currently have an inexpensive SW portable
radio which has worked well for the past year, but I'd like to
increase my listening and enjoyment by getting an upgraded setup.  I'm
mostly considering the Radio Shack DX-394 which has a great price
(compared to the other desktops) and the Drake SW8 which has similar
features but at a greater price.  I don't mind spending the $ if the
receiver will actually be proportionally better.  Anyone have any
hints/suggestions for me as to which would be a better buy.  I'm not
looking for the perfect setup, just a nice receiver which will give me
good continuous coverage up to 30MHz.

Thanks in advance and take care,

Dave Bernazzani

        Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with others who are interested
in solving EMI problems?I work on medical CAT scanners and I am often
asked to fix problems with EMI noise radiating or conducting into
medical ultrasound machines from the CAT scanner.The CAT scanner is 3
phase 50 kW switched mode supply
        I would be happy to discuss and share my experiences with anybody on
the appropriate group on this most important subject. .

The frequencies to try are 873, 1107, 1143 and 1485.  Nothing is directed your
way, but I think you've a pretty good chance of hearing at least one of these
frequencies most evenings.  873 has 150 Kw from Frankfurt.  1107 has reasonabl
e
power from several locations (WRTH, '95 edition).  Other freqs have many low
power transmitters all over.  Good luck.

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

Yeasu should buy them and ship them with each radio.

Chip set for SSB Short Wave Transmitter/Receiver

I am initiating a new design for a SSB Short Wave Transmitter/Receiver
operating at 4.005 Meg.  A chip set is required to form the base of
the design.  Pre production prototype is scheduled for completion June
96.

Would be grateful for any information or help.

I bought my 700 earlier this month for $293.30 ($270.95 + 22.35 tax) at
Incredible Universe on Northwest Highway between Jupiter and Garland
Road in Dallas.  It was an in-store special
in what they call "The Black Hole". "All Black Hole sales final: no
refunds-no exchanges, Manufacturer's Warranty applies", but I exchanged
an unsatisfactory cd-player under those terms less than a year ago.
They had at least one more unit available at at the time I purchased
my 700, and several other shortwave radios as well.
I suppose they are demos/displays/returns/etc.  Mine was
complete and intact with multilingual instruction manuals out the
wazzoo, and has given me no reason to think of it as anything but new
except that the seal on the box was broken.

The phone number on the receipt is [phone].

I went in to price shop for something lesser: a yb400 or less
expensive Sony, but my wife was in a generous mood.

Best bet is to call. I don't think Craig has any production units ready,
but based on previous ratings of Kiwa products it should be worth the
wait.

No debate on this one... the Drake SW8 or R8 is the radio to buy.  You
can find a new SW8 or used R8 for around $600 and it will make you a much
better receiver than the DX-394.  Both are packed with lots of "goodies".

Hi,

I bought a 2nd-handed 2m transceiver a few weeks ago, but there was
(offcourse) no manual included in the deal.

This transceiver is a great thing: It's an ALINCO DJ-S1 and it can
transmit in the range from 130.00 MHz up to 174.000 Mhz! There are
some questions left, after using this thing a few weeks!

- At first, how do I turn on (off) the roger beep! After pressing some
keys, It sunddenly jumped on!

- Can I TRANSMIT in the range from 108.0 Mhz up to 143.0 Mhz ? When I
try to, it simply says: "Off". If so, how do I do so?

- What are the buttons "TMS", "TONE" and "BS" used for?

If you have an answer to my questions, please E-mail them to me
([e-mail]) Thanks in advance! If you have any other nice
stuff about/for the ALINCO transceiver, I'm interested as well!

Thanks,

Edwin

     I hope to see Craig at the traditional Presidents Day Seattle Radio GTG.
I'll e-mail him and see if he wants to bring along a pre-production sample and

maybe I or someone else there can provide some initial impressions.

On a clear night in Iowa, reception is pretty good provided you have an outdoo
r
antenna. Of course, the biggies like the CBC, BBC, etc. come in well. I do fin
d it
difficult to receive smaller stations and Asian stations. I'm a Voice of Russi
a
fan and can't get anything that I would want to listen to on a regular basis.
Living in the Mid-West, you may just want to invest in a good, used table-top
unit.

I live within 5 miles of 'The Big One' and wish they would move their

I've been in touch with Craig over the last few weeks about Kiwa's new
Pocket Loop, and other new Kiwa products. Just today I heard that the
reason there are no details yet on the Kiwa WWW page is that his WWW page
designer is out of town, Craig's awaiting his return for the online
update.

The loop sounds very clever. It will include a white noise generator
(switchable in/out) that will make peaking the tuning circuit much easier
for the frequency in use. Low battery consumption is a plus, too.
Reportedly it only consumes 8ma at 9vdc, compared to 27ma (!) at 9vdc for
the Radio Shack active antenna.

UNITED KINGDOM
Riverside Radio is a new RSL being operated on 1584kHz during match days by
Wigan Rugby League Club. First noted around mid-day on Sunday 28th 1996 by
Alan Gale.

AOR 7030 RECEIVER
At the end of January Medium Wave Circle member Gordon Bennett had one of the
first 8 review models of this new receiver. After a couple of days use Gordon
phoned me and he was RAVING about its features. He even said this was the
receiver he had been waiting 40 years for! I know Gordon and his reviews are
usually very critical so the AOR 7030 must be really good for him to be so
enthusiastic.

To hear Gordon's comments tune into his radio programme on AWR. Tune in to
15620kHz between 0900 and 1000UTC on Sunday 3rd Feb and you will hear Gordon
around 0915UTC

complain?  So, they should shut up so you'll be FREE TO SPEAK?  Right.

I just got my first short wave and I have a few questions I hope
someone could answer for me. I got an old Hammarlund super pro
from a friend of mine. He said it was built shortly after world war two.
It works great but it uses tubes. I am concerned that one day these tubes will
die and I will not be able to replace them. does anyone know where
I might get replacement tubes??? How about an owners manual or some
sort of book that will tell me what all the different knobs do??? I
am new to this hobby and do not understand alot of it but I am having
a blast playing with the radio. I am suprised at how clear it sounds especiall
y
seeing as it is older than me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

MY Drake R-8 lost it's receive in the  AM broadcast band.   I think I
nailed it when I transmitted on about 7 megs.   I called Drake and they
knew right away what probably happened.   Anyway they weren't very
specific about the fix and I was hoping someone has had the same

All during the broadcast another feed of oriental music kept

"revelation" of PRC plan to attack ROC if their push for independence
went much further, or might it have been some old fashioned "jammimg"?
This story was the lead one on their news.

Prices on the 700 have recently gone up due to the exchange of DMs to $$.
 Best deal is at Gilfer.  The radio is about $445 & they will throw in an
extra memory chip for free and fill in the other 2 slots for $20.
They'll even pre-program all 3 chips that they put in.  Got mine from
them a couple weeks ago and I love it.  Oh yeah, shipping's included in
that price, too.

Thanks for asking! dults 25-54 in Chicago's last ARB #1 In Milwaukee I

Anybody have any comments about the MFJ SW converter for use in a car?  I'm
looking for one that will allow me to listen to the powerhouses like BBC,
RCI, DW, RN, etc while in my car.  Is it worth the $79 that I've seen it
listed for?

I built the kit that is available from Ramsey, but it is hard to tune and it
drifts quite a bit.  It doesn't even do a good job on the powerhouses.

Anybody know of any others to consider?

Hate responding to my own post, but in addition....  RNI's review of the
ICF-1000T is located on the web at:

 http://www.rnw.nl/rnw/en/pub/sonysw1000t.html

And it features a rather nice gif of the set.  -- Enjoy!

The first story on CBC Sunday Morning, today, was about how Kiribati,
previously divided by the International Date Line, is now on the later
(west) side. Ian Brown interviewed an official (whose name and title I
didn't get) and he said how it was going to be more convenient and, by
the way, won't you come to our end-of-millenium party and spend lots of
money  (well, he didn't quite put it like that) Mr. Brown then confused
the official as to just when the end of the millenium is. (If you really
believe in a year one [no one called it that and Jesus wasn't born for
another few years] then the millenium ends on 31 December 2000, not
1999. The American TV quiz show Jeopardy is always throwing out answers
based on that thesis. [In Jeopardy, you have to give a question which
fits the answer.] However, I wouldn't suggest that you base any other
aspect of your life on that thesis. In particular, if you are selling
junky end-of-millenium souvenirs, get them ready for 1999.)

There is a miniwar going on between various countries near the
International Date Line over who gets to rip off tourists the most with
"be the first to celebrate the millenium" tours.

Hello All,
         Here's my newbie question for the day.  Does anyone know of a
good  HF propagation modeling program?  I would prefer a shareware
version, as I have seen a couple of commercial versions that were in
the $200.00 range! :(  I would like to make graphs similar to the
one's in Monitoring Times, but using the daily solar numbers from WWV.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

In contrastof it  when I made a QUERY   this Monday , the  listserver

 when  I sent  mesages through rrs  , the server always  sent me replies
that  mesage has sucessfully distributed

 I do not know why the server  resigned  my sub .
Does anyone know the reason ?

   It decoded the Motorola system.  It was a narrow bandwith (5 Khz)
reciever.  Not bad sounding, but not as good as those that had 10 Khz
bandwith capabilities.  We had a few when the station I worked at went
stereo in the mid eighties.

hi...two items for the group.

don't know if this has been posted, but i came upon a web site in
virginia that lets you tune a short wave radio (Drake), select the
frequency, mode, sync, filter, etc...and plays it back on the naplayer
(or au format).  only about 10-15 seconds of audio, but really useful if
you want to check propagation from vlf to 30 megs on the east coast

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

on another matter, not exactly SWL related:

i know many correspondents to this group also monitor other frequencies.
i am also an FM dx-er, and would like to upgrade my antenna (when the
snow and ice melt here in frostbite falls MN).

i currently use a radio shack 6-element yagi on a rotor.  i understand
there is a 12-element channel master that is supposed to improve
selectivity and gain.  it costs around $100.  my question:  are there
other antennas for FM broadcast in this price range that perform better,
in your opinion?  I'm in a major market and use four high Q FM traps in
line to null the strongest locals, but could still use something with
greater selectivity.

pse share your experience.  thanks for your help!

I'm still using mine.  I've had it for years, and it's given faithful,
trouble-free service.  That said, it lacks the bells and whistles of
today's sets, the audio quality is not great, and the MW performance is
absolutely awful.  I have other, better, radios, but my trusty 2001 still
gets its share of use, sitting on my nightstand next to a standard AM/FM
clock radio.  I've heard some have had trouble with the pushbuttons
wearing out, but I haven't.

According to the Radio Netherlands WWW site this weeks Media Network
should include a review of *a* new AOR receiver - presumeably the HF AOR

Allison,

Why yes it can be done...  How?  In a very similar fashion as the computer
you are using now is sending information to the internet...

What you do is to purchase a 'black box' that connects your computer to
the speaker of your radio.  A way to think of this black box is that it is
very similar to a modem, in other words it converts sounds that can be
sent over a phone line or as a radio wave into electrical impulses that a
computer can understand and translate into another form: a weather map, a
satellite photo, a fax, etc.  The difference being that you are not using
this black box to connect to another computer via telephone _wires_,
instead the information is transfered via _radio waves_ and converted by
both the black box and software on the computer into a graphic form that
you can see on the screen.

Think of it as a fax recieving machine with the hookup being to a radio
instead of a phone line.  Many HAM's use Packet Radio to both send and
recieve digital information over their portion of the radio spectrum.  If
you are not a HAM you will (of course) only be recieving information so
you could call the unit a 'dem' (as opposed to MOdem) as you would only be
DEModulating signals...

Both Universal Radio and MFJ manufacture equipment specifically for this
purpose, I assume many others do as well (but they immediately come to
mind).

If you are interested in pursuing this further pick up the latest issue of
either Popular Communications or Monitoring Times.  Both publications have
ad's for Universal and MFJ as well as other dealers such as Grove, Gilfer,
EEB etc. that carry this sort of equipment.  Call or post these
manufacturers and ask for a catalog.  Then look for publications dealing
with "Digital modes".

I hope I have been of some assistance.

From the newsgroup Clari.biz.industry.broadcasting:

         LONDON (Reuter) - More than 140 million people in 100
countries ranging from China to Cuba listen to the BBC World
Service radio each week in English and 41 other languages, the
broadcasting corporation said Monday.
         The latest figures, based on audience measurements, is an
increase of five percent on last year's record of 133 million,
but excludes countries such as Iran, Iraq and Somalia where
statistics are not available.
         ``From Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe, more people than ever rely on
the World Service for news they can trust and programs they can
enjoy,'' managing director Sam Younger said in a statement.
         The British Broadcasting Corp. said audience increases were
recorded in every region of the world, particularly in Pakistan,
where more than one in five adults listen to the BBC in Urdu and
in Albania where half the adult population tunes in.
         Parliament funds the BBC's radio services with a $203
million grant.

Ever since ICOM decided to delete the 800 - 900 MHZ coverage from its IC-R7100

receiver,
older R7100's demand premium prices on the used market. ICOM insisted that the

R7100 was
now made in two versions, one for the general public and another (with 800-900

coverage) for
government and law enforcement agencies. The extended coverage version also se
lls
for $200-$300 more! Per discussions with ICOM there were very clear that this
was
done to comply with
legal requirements that prohibit new scanners from be capable of receiving
cellular telephone
transmissions. My opposition has always been why we should be penalized if we
want
to listen to
local law enforcement agencies within the 800 MHz band. Personally, I have no
interest in
listening to cell phones when a receiver as competent as the R7100 opens up al
most
2 ghz of
spectrum.

I recently noticed that Grove now offers the R7100 with "restored" coverage so
 I
set out to find
out how it was done. Performing the following procedure will allow you to list
en
to local law
enforcement with the 800-900 mHz portion of the spectrum. Remove the screws th
at
hold the top
cover and disconnect the speaker. Next, remove the two flat head screws that h
old
the metal
shield covering the rear of the front panel.. On the rear apron, remove the tw
o
screws that hold
the upper chassis to the lower chassis. Finally, remove the antenna cable that
 is
connected to the
circuit board assembly in the rear right corner of the R7100. Referring to the

owners manual,
CAREFULLY separate the upper half of the receiver, inverting it, setting it be
side
the radio as
illustrated in the owners manual. Be careful not to pull on the cables that
connect the upper
portion to the lower half of the radio. In the front of the owners manual ther
e is
a small paragraph
that explains the various jumper options for the R7100's CI-V interface option
s.
It's on this board
that the modification is done. The board is located behind the "M-SET" switch.
 The
jumpers are
actually circular pads, split vertically. A drop of solder constitutes a jumpe
r -
no solder = no
jumper.

Locate jumper "A6" as illustrated in the owners manual. Above "A6" you'll see
a
small ball of
solder. Using solder wick, CAREFULLY remove the solder, exposing the split
circular pad
beneath. The space between the pads is very small so be sure to remove all the

solder. Reassemble
the radio and you're done!

I just got a new computer and it causes alot of intereference with my
R71.  First I plugged it into a different circuit then my R71 is pluged
to.  That helped, it got the noise down from 40dB to only 10dB.  But
the 10dB is still far more then I can handle, I cant receive anything
but the strongest of stations.
What can I do!
PS.  Its not the monitor, I've turned it off and the intereference
level doesn't change at all.
Tnx

Herb:

My trusty Sony ICF 2001 still works well and lives at my bedside where
the power-down after up to 90 minutes is handy. It is almost as
sensitive, side-by-side, as my Drake R8 but lack all the features for
digging out  difficult signals. I was able to qsl many countries
before getting the R8.

The only real irritation I've had, similar to alll the other Sony
products I own, is a scratchy volume control that requires occasional
attention. I suppose the 2010, which still consistently garners
accolades, is an improvement but not at your price.

Your next step-up might be to a table-top when and if ready -- be sure

Wow! that was cool, just seeing that gif made my mouth water.  A neat rig
if you're rich!  Guess that'll be put on my dream list should I win the
lottery.

I had a 7600g for a bit and this looked similar. I own an sw30 now and
don't like it near as much.  Shoot!  shoulda just spent the extra 60 bucks
and got another 7600g.  But now think I'll just wait 'til I can get one of
these.

Pat,

It was -5F here (Near Chicago) this morning, with a -30F wind chill and no
relief in sight for about a week, but I have a WRTH in my hand.  I'll swap
you weather for the WRTH!!!

        I've just got a Short Wave radio, and I'm having a hard time
finding any Brazilian broadcasts.  Can anyone point me to where I can
find a list of them?  I looked through the rec.radio.shortwave FAQ, but I
couldn't find the soc.culture.brazil FAQ.

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

What you are probably hearing are NDB's.  Non-directional beacons provide
navigation information to aircraft.  It is one of the older forms of radio
navigation, but is still used.  Due to it low relative cost, many small
airports can afford an NDB for instrument approaches when costlier methods are

not feasible.  Also, the plane's ADF receiver (that is what is used to listen
for NDB's) will tune and can home in on AM radio stations.  This is convenient

if you fly to small towns that have they own radio station but no nav-aids.

Usually the identifier is broadcast in morse code and is a 3-letter ID.  If yo
u
want to know where it is coming from, visit the local airport where flight
lessons are available and ask to see a sectional or ask someone there to help
you.  Us pilots are an arrogant bunch of b-----ds and love to show off what we

know. :-}.

Also, if you have a scanner with a decent outside antenna, you might hear the
local VOR (VHF omnirange) station on 108 - 118 mhz.  Most of them will also
have a 3-letter identifier.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm... If you can buy a new R9000 (since you are in a business that will
allow you to do so), then you can get an un-restricted R-7100.

Me, I'm lucky. I have an older R-7100, full coverage! (No, it's *not* for

I guess it would be better than to just buy a regular SCPC receiver.It
would be
nice to have a good all around receiver,but at this time I've decided not
to spend
$1200+ on such a thing.I could get a nice new Satellite IRD with a built
in SCPC
receiver,Starsite,and some other nice features for under $800,but that
subject is
going off this groups topic.

I am a somewhat avid AMLer and SWLer, using an early '70s Zenith
Trans-Oceanic Royal 7000.  I am interested in obtaining a more
sensitive, less portable receiver.  Recently I have been offered a
Lafayette model HE-30 receiver for US$150.  It has a speaker in a box of
the same style and color of the main unit.  Does anyone out there have
any experience with these old Lafayettes?  And are they any good?  Any
better than the old T-Os I currently use?  Or maybe I should hold out
for a Hammerlund or Hallicrafters or a more recent Kenwood or Drake.
Reply here or E-Mail.

TIA

        Not necessarily. Certain single-letter beacons are not assigned.
        I covered this in my article "Mysteries of Radio" in RADIO!

        However, I received a letter from the KKN station KKN57, so
        there's another mystery solved.

I'm real happy with my R8 and, from what I've read so far, the R8A
offers little performance improvement but possibly some ergonomic
improvement. I don't find the R8 hard to use (maybe I've grown
accustomed to it) and the learning curve was no worse than that for
typical software.

Go for it.

Any recommendations?

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

Good luck,

Bill

Yes, AIR has an English language newscast which you can
receive on the East Coast of the USA at 1530 UTC (10:30 AM
EST) on 9910 KHz.  It runs for 15 minutes and is normally
heard at good signal strength. The complete AIR schedule can
be found in the World Radio and TV Handbook for 1996 which
is now available at major book stores.

   You bet I do.  It's what has made this country great.  In it, anybody that
has a dream and ambition can plot his or her own destiny.  The problem is, too

many have found that it is easier to get government hand-outs.  And God forbid

someone should even think of weaning able-bodied people off the government
breast.  The majority of the media goes balistic to the point of
hyperventilating.  Terms like "hate speach" are bantied about by those in
government and their willing accomplices in the major media to cloud the

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

You right-wingers can never get past the Cold War. Because one does
not support the embargo does that mean one supports everything the
Cuban Goverment does? What that island of 11 million people do or do
not do has nothing to do with guys like you. I hope you took your nose

with great relish for you to explain Cume and TSL. You radio wanna

your "I know it all about radio posts" I give it all to Fidel! Come on
Denny boy don't just type let's hear you do a talk show. Fat chance.

Are you sure that was an ID? There was a popular song in the '70s called
"Rock The Boat" by the Hughes (or Hues, don't know the spelling)
Corporation. Maybe you just heard the announcer give the song title.

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

Your post brings back memories . . .

Regards
Jerry

Fisher makes a few but I haven't been looking at the boom boxes in

SONY also makes a model of compact stereo that has SHORTWAVE bands on
it that is a VERY VERY nice 120V / 240V AC powered unit, but they are
not in most stores, just the specialty ones that cater to overseas
travelers. I think he got it in New York about 3 years ago.

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

Hi!

The Marine Band is 150.050 - 157.425 Mhz.

Channel 16 is 156.8 Mhz.

I beleive that you do need a license to transmit on these frequencies..

OK, OK, does anyone have a comprehensive listing of these
beacons?  I've seen lists for SW, but not for the LW band.

Well, I don't know if they rate as a "communications'" type headphone, but

Which comes out of MY taxes. Why does the BBC have to serve the world,
