Gotta tell ya.  I'm a bit disappointed in you folks.  You just
can't go around snitching on these types of posts because
there's always the chance that someday someone will want to
sell off or give away something REALLY COOL!!!

You're gonna scare 'em off, boobies.  If you're not
interested, move on.  Stop being such pussies.

Your antenna is probably fine.   We are in the low point of the
sunspot cycle and you'll find that many signals are much weaker than
you'd expect.  Propagation drops off very rapidly after local sunset
as the amount of ionization is minimal and doesn't give the "charge"
needed in the ionosphere to let propagation continue even at the
levels experienced in late afternoons...

Try tuning lower after nightfall - say around 6 megahertz...5 megahertz, etc.

If you find reception reasonably good on the lower frequencies, I'd
suggest the problem is not your equipment, merely the solar cycle.

Wonder if you people in the media could pass the same tests you hold
the Clintons to.  How would you like everything you have every done in
your life (even a few things you may not be so proud of)  to be
scrutinized to the same extent that the Clintons every action has
been?

OOps, try 278000 ZIP for Tiraspol (I was born couple blocks down that
street - former Pokrovskaja). The transmitter is used by Voice of
Russia (1000 kW!) and is located in Grigoriopol (very impressive pease
of work - I saw it) to the north of Tiraspol. The town is also part of
Transdnestrian Republic. Moldova proper (Bessarabia) uses Romanian
(much smaller) transmitter located in Romania.

I have a friend that needs information on the effect that exposure to
radio frecuency might have or has on the human body.  He needs solid
information or studies that have been done on this topic.  If you have
the source of the info, such as which University, Individual or group
conducted the test or study. This will be helpful for a project that he
is working on. The RF exposure would be in the frecuency of 800 to 900
megahertz.

Send me reply..

Thanks...

Yes, Bill, you heard a Beacon. There are several stations signing
"NB" so we would need to know the frequency to identify it. You most
likely heard one of these:

300 kHz F - USSR 50 watts (unlikely!)
312 kHz F - VIETNAM 1000 watts (unlikely!)
322 kHz   - New Bedford, MA 25 watts (unlikely)
530 kHz   - North Bay Ontario 500 watts (possible)

These are maritime and airport locator beacons used by radio
operators aboard ships and on aircraft. They use a wonderful
mode called "modulated CW" or MCW classified as A2. It is wonderful
because, just like AM, it blanks out the noise and is easy to read.
Since none of these are near you, I wonder if you have the callsign
wrong?

I use an R8A and while I've never had an opportunity to test it
directly with an R8, I do find the alpha-numeric display a great
boon in terms of ease of use - I think this not often mentioned
feature is more worthwhile than many people may realise. The extra
memory capacity is good too (440 vs 100 station memories) and I
believe the computer control interface is more powerful/better so
that when R8a control programmes come onto the market (as they are
beginning to) there should be noticeable improvements in control of
the radio.

Zenith published service manuals (for the radio repair shops) for each
model.  How to find them is uncertain.  You might contact Zenith and find
out what manuals are available.  I have the service manual for the
7000-2, but that is different from the D7000Y.

UNITED KINGDOM
Radio Latics is one of the most established soccer radio stations in the UK
operating with a low power restricted service licence (RSL). Alan Gale
(Medium Wave Circle member and presenter/engineer at Radio Latics) is very
keen to know of all instances of long distance reception of the station's 1
watt signal. Alan is attempting to correlate reception with ionospheric
conditions, so the information he would like is date and time of reception
and location of the listener.

Radio Latics has been heard often over 1000km in several European countries
and the record is a listener 1860km distant! The record for any RSL is
2400km!

Look out for forthcoming broadcasts from R Latics on 1386kHz:

February:   10th; 20th; 24th

The station that has set up shop on 7335khz, the home of venerable CHU
for decades, is Radio Sofia Bulgaria.  Their winter sked on this
frequency begins at 0000UTC and continues in two hour blocks at 0615UTC
and 1800UTC in English, Spanish, French and German directed to Europe.

These broadcasts are easily heard here in the mid atlantic region of the
US, making for an "interesting" mix of time beeps and Bulgarian folk
music :-)

The cellular telephone industry has been conducting some
research to hopefully refute claims that use of hand-held
cellular phones cause brain cancer.  Your tax dollars paid
for a revue of this issue by the General Accounting Office
of the US Congress in the last couple of years.  I remember
seeing their report which was an exhaustive review of all
the information available at the time.  Their conclusion was
that the evidence is inconclusive,

You may be able to get that report from the Superintendent
of Documents in Washington, if you want more details.  Sorry
I don't have the document number handy.  If I find my copy
in the nerar future, I will post the reference number.

This is in my opinion a rather arrogant view. I am fairly certain
when they do emerge, the WRTH's on-line services will be excellent.
CD-ROM publishing technology and web technology is changing almost
weekly, and it is only sensible to find a good solution and stick with
that. Oh, please cite the source for your quotation. If it's a
paraphrasing then it is not appropriate to enclose it in quotes.

Passport's graphical charts, good as they are, hardly represent
"digital multimedia technology" :-)

As far as acting in time goes, you must remember that the WRTH is part
of a much bigger company, VNU-BPI. As such, budgets are set months in
advance, and an idea which has to be rejected on cost grounds in
January might be affordable by September. Take CD-ROM: this time last
year CD-R (writeable CD) drives cost at least 2500 pounds here in the
UK, but they are now on sale for under 800. With the best will in the
world, WRTH can't be expected to react as fast as a small company like
Klingenfuss.

Have been hearing an UNID TIS station on 1610 from my location in
Gainesville, Florida.  It's usually heard briefly around local
sunrise, 1230Z, sometimes at night.  Programming consists of a
continuous tape loop, woman announcer, professionally recorded.
Little is readable, but have heard mentions of a phone number,
possibly 364 (362? 324?) -1615.  Other fragments heard, all
questionable copy:  "on the corner of 7th near Walgreens", "small town
flavor", "open 2 PM to 5 PM Tuesday through Sunday", and "while you're
visiting the area."  Possible mention of Alabama also noted once.
Reception is extremely poor, with weak signals and QRM from about 4
other co-channel TIS stations, not to mention Anguilla.  From
propagation and signal comparisons on multiple antennas, the station
seems to be to the north and west of me.

Anyone know exactly who/where it is?  Please email response, will
summarize.

Tnx in advance,
David

I'd also suggest listening to AIR's regional service to the U.K.,
which often can be heard in late afternoons (local New York time)
with fairly good signals.

Again, check the 96 WRTH for the updated schedule.

The text doesn't say, but from the subject you seem to be looking for
a definition of the SINPFEMO code.  I have one someplace, but have no
idea where it is and don't care.   No one in SWBC uses it.  Even the
SINPO code is used by only a few.  A simpler approach is the SIO or
SDO code.  I prefer the latter.

Greg (et al.),

Have been mulling your post over a bit since I'm working on a cleaning
my RFI problems up here as well.  Have you tried lifting/breaking the
receiver and computer gear AC power feed ground wires and grounding
the gear cases through your RF ground wire only?  Assuming your
breaker box is grounded properly, any fault current from your gear
would still be able to get back to the breaker box through the earth.
But with the gear power grounds lifted, there's no loop current
through your "bypass strap" to radiate near the receiver since there's
no loop.  Or am I forgetting something?

Has anyone tried braid shielding printer, monitor, etc. cables and
grounding those in addition to the computer case?  If so, did it make
any difference?  Anyone tried shielding the monitor in a "partial"
Faraday cage?

Another major problem here is <100 to ~700 KHz hash coming in through
the AC power;  it wipes LW & lower MW reception out.  It gets into the
house wiring and is reradiated, so I pick it up whether I'm running
the rx off of either AC or battery, when using any kind of loop
antenna.  The obvious ideal solution is put a big filter in at the
breaker box, but I suspect a 200 amp RF filter will run some bucks.
It's definitely coming in from the outside;  if I open the main
breaker, I hear the noise only near the breaker box.  Fortunately the
local power lines are all underground, so I don't seem pick up much of
it from external antennas.

Does anyone know how to send VHF frequencies to a FRG-8000
via the CAT port?  Works fine on HF but I can't figure out
how to send VHF frequencies (FRG-8800 with FRV-8800 VHF module).

Please reply direct as I don't follow these groups.

I believe I heard TWR at this time the last few nights, but not on the
frequencies shown. I heard a German station on 4775 kHz which signed off
at 0430 UTC, and am assuming it's TWR-Swaziland because they do use 4775
kHz at other times of the day, and I've heard TWR-Swaziland on other
frequencies with a positive ID.

Yes... but.

The question is the level of funding et al. For details, we have the

   Your right, MOST hams DO stay within the rules. Of coarse there is the

All navaids (NDBs included) are published in the Airport Facility Directory
(AFD) produced by the National Ocean Service (NOS).  These AFD's are updated
every month or two and the old ones are relatively useless to pilots.  You can

ask around at airports, flying clubs, flight schools, etc. and probably get on
e
for free.  You might ask about old sectional charts while you are there.  They

are updated about twice a year and the old ones lay around until trashed.  The

navaids rarely change so even an old one should have 99%+ accurate info
regarding NDBs.  The other option is to just order a new one from NOS or a
pilot supply like Sporty's.  I don't have the order info handy, but I can
provide it later.
In addition, I am sure that the info you want is on some FCC list.  If I can
locate it I will pass that along as well.

Erik, you have a third option.  Call Thompson Consumer Electronics (I
believe it's in Lubbock, Texas).  They refurbish the SuperRadio III's
and re-sell them for around $37.  I almost went this route, but decided
I couldn't wait, and bought one at K-Mart. Sorry, I don't have the phone
number any more.  I hope you find one, though.  I like to listen to
Old-Time Radio on a few frequencies around the country, and this radio
is the only radio I've found with enough sensitivity AND selectivity to
do it.

Good luck,

  I am thinking of putting a random wire antenna in the
attic.Multiple wires will be joined to form a single
feed to the receiver.   The 19 and 31M bands will be
covered by 3/4 wavelength wires.  The 49m and 60m
bands will be covered by wires of 1/4 wavelength.

  I am woundering if the wires can be joined in the attic
or should they be oined at the receiver.

Thanks,   Wildey Johnson

Here's the results I've received so far of the most recent DX tests:

KGYN-1210 Guymon, OK tested 1/29/96 from 3:00-4:00 am EST:

Art Burke of Lenexa, KS (Kansas City, MO area) reports no success in
hearing this test, tho he's heard the station previously.

Nothing heard on my YB-400 here in Huntsville, AL - too much WGMP!

Some final reports:

WANM-1070 Tallahassee, FL tested 1/20/96 from 3:00-3:30 am EST:

Bob McCoy in Lincoln, NE reports he heard slow code IDs from WANM at
0302 on a Sony WFM-30 Walkman.

KTLC-1460 Dickinson, ND tested 1/23/96 from 2:30-3:30 am EST:

Bob McCoy in Lincoln, NE says he also hear CW IDs from this test at 0315
on the Walkman.

That's all for now...

My Grundig YB 400, only about 1 month old, has lost some of it's ability
to receive SW stations.  Even when the signal strenght meter show a good
signal it "huffs" & pops.  Any ideas?

Oh, I forgot- you can hear some Kol Israel Hebrew and English news broadcasts
(for English, only 1st 10 min of one of the 30 min domestic broadcasts- that
is the one that is broadcast 10 AM Eastern time 1500 UTC and 5 PM Israel time)

on http://www.artificia.com   Go to the Israel's Board section. The broadcasts

are posted in Realaudio and Internet Wave (both free) formats- available 30
min to 1 hour after the actual broadcast. WRN (World Radio Network) is trying
to find a sponsor to restart their Kol Israel English relay (the entire 30 min

of the 3 PM Eastern broadcast).

Jay,

     Why not take your personal disagreements to e-mail? Who you like in a
political race, how sorry you feel for Cuba and Castro, etc don't mean too
much in the context of this newsgroup. Your ratings numbers are just fine -
great in fact, if you say so. Arguing here about how wonderful a guy you are
doesn't do a great deal for your reputation or or general appreciation of the
SWL/DX hobby.

Carroll,

 Hey! The rest of us didn't hold ourselves out to be some paragon of virtue,
liberal crusaders come to save the country from the evil selfishness of the
Reagan Years. When you do that sort of thing and then get caught have played
the meanest, most uderhanded politcal sort of game at the expense of innocent
public emplyees; whom you falsley brand in public as criminals you can expect
a bit of resentment. This is what come of having a dope smokin', coke
snortin', glue sniffin', paint huffin, woman molestin', draft card burnin',
redneck in the White House.

Revelation 1.9: Ralph Brandi was mistaken for the keg in the
hospitality room.  He really looked funny with the hose in
his ear.

Revelation 1.8: Poncho Villa, when he is not on the radio,
works in the kitchen where his mission in life is to revenge
Montezuma.

Revelation 1.7: The Holiday Inn policy of supplying whatever
personal items you may have forgotten to bring does not
apply to HF-1000's.

Revelation 1.6: The Scanner Scum is a persistent problem and
the main reason they always have the pool covered.

Revelation 1.5: The Abacus Chinese Restaurant has rearranged
its tables to prevent more than four SWL's from gathering in
one place at one time.

Revelation 1.4: The Holiday Inn smoke alarm system works
really good.

Revelation 1.3: WWCR was invited to present a forum on radio
patriotism but declined because they were busy looking for
another tropical band DX station to QRM.

Revelation 1.2: Hausie was elected designated driver for the
Friday night soiree.

Revelation 1.1: Big Signal Brown became a Redskins fan
during the last Fest.  Ask me why at the next Fest.

I am interested in this receiver. I plan to use it on long

cons versus some of the other similar receivers (such
as Drake R-8A, etc.)

No problem with TUBES. They are still available NEW in the box. You just have
to know
where to find them.

There is a company in AZ called Antique Radio supply. They are usually adverti
sed in Mags
like Popular Communications, also World Radio and TV handbook etc. Also many s
ources
advertised in the back of Mags like Popular Electronics, Mechanics,Etc,Etc. Al
so
HamFests in various areas of the country.

I hope you are having fun with your Tube rig. Tell me about it.

It is also known as Zulu time,but is more commonly known as Greenwich
mean time(the time at an observatory just east of London,England).At
present,UTC is eastern standard time+5 hours.
  Its more effective to have a universal time so that things can be done
on a global scale,without having to use calculations like the one above,
or involving the international date line.I'm sure there's a better
explanation of it all from someone else,but I hope this helps..

C'mon! There's a difference between "a different opinion" and flat out
stupidity. What the original poster said about "hams threatening the environme
nt
with radio waves" was right up there with "the Earth is Flat" or "
Elvis is alive" . . .

Yes, well actually they said "Hughes Broadcasting..." my mistake!  Anyway,
listening through the tape reveals an id 30 minutes later from KIOV-Idaho.

Hello Folks,

        The following bulletin was put out on the amateur radio packet
network, but I thought it deserved wider circulation.  The ISWL have
a very good broadcast radio section.  If you want to get in touch
with Chris, drop me a line and I will pass it on to him by landline.

==================================


                    THE INTERNATIONAL SHORT WAVE LEAGUE

                       GOLDEN JUBILEE 1946 - 1996
                       --------------------------

The ISWL, formed in October 1946, is a voluntary International Organization
promoting the hobbies of Amateur Radio and Short Wave Listening.

Whether you're interested in Transmitting or Receiving, Amateur Band Listening
or  Broadcast  Band  Listening, entering Contests or Award Chasing WE have got
something for you.

Our monthly journal MONITOR has sections dedicated to all of the above aspects
of the hobby and more  besides.  We  run  frequent 'in-house' contests and our
Awards are renowned world wide.

Each month our journal carries the latest reports of band conditions on both
the Amateur and Broadcast  Bands  with additional information about stations
heard, schedule changes, QSL return times and rare call QSL managers.


The Journal also carries interesting articles written by our members.

We have a very fast and efficient International QSL bureau.

We hold several 'on-air' nets throughout each week on the following frequencie
s

                Sunday 15:00 UK Clock time : 7045 kHz or 3685 kHz (SSB)
                Monday 20:30 UK Clock time : 3553 kHz (CW)
               Tuesday 19:00 UK Clock time : 3700 kHz (SSB)
              Saturday 10:30 UK Clock time : 3685 kHz (SSB)

                  All frequencies +/- 5 kHz in QRM

To celebrate our Jubilee the members of the ISWL are operating the Special
Call of GB50SWL using various band and modes. Any station hearing or working
the Call will be entitled to a Special Jubilee QSL which can be obtained by
QSL'ing via the bureau or direct to:-

Summary: Mystery signal on 5930 khz
Keywords: 5930 khz???

From within my iron frame apartment in the middle of New York City, I get
a signal so strong that it pins my s-meter. The station transmits on 5930
Khz and seem to cover from 5388 to 5397 Khz.  The signal is stronger that
any station on the band. It is steady in strength and seems to be on 24
hours a day. It seems to be an unmodulated AM station with a slight hum.

Am I living next to a Yemananes spy or can anyone else pick up this
signal, in the New York area?  Elsewhere?  Does anyone know what it could be.


Thanks

Rob,
    AM stations in the US are limited to 50,000 watts. Hams are limited
to 1,500 watts. High band VHF 317,000 + aural. Low band TV 100,000 +
aural and UHF TV 5,000,000 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power). FM is
limited to 100,000 watts ERP. The radio and tV reception he hopes to
protect create far more radiation that a gaggle of hams.

Try Antique Electronic Supply at [phone] in Arizona.  You may also
want to tune into rec.antiques.radio+phono as people frequently post
new/used tubes for sale.  Also, get yourself a sample copy of Antique
Radio Classified.  They are on the WWW and you can request a copy right
on the net.

I am located on the North East coast of the US and am looking
for good clear broadcasts in Arabic. Over the summer I got
RCI's relay of Radio Monte Carlo, which was more clear than
the local public am radio station in the evenings. But over
the fall soemthing happened either to the relay or RCI and
the signal is unusable. So I am looking for other suggestions.
If there are any Arabic broacasters who post their broadcasts
in sound files which can be downloaded from the internet, I would
be up for that as well. Any suggestions would be very much
appreciated!

Many thanks!

Phil Beltz Glaser

Hi, all... I need a bit of help.  I remember during the last
sunspot cycle that I could hear a Tampa, FL. studio link on
25.xxx MHz.  Could anyone give more details such as freq/mode, ID,
whether or not it still uses this frequency (and _WHY_).  _ALSO_
could someone confirm whether or not this station still broadcasts
the Rush Limbaugh program?

Thanks in advance...

http://www.artificia.com carries Kol Yisrael in Internet Wave and
RealAudio formats but I think they only carry Hebrew and one English
broadcast. I don't think they carry Arabic. You might try the World
Radio Network 2 Multilingual Service in http://www.xingtech.com
Streamworks format. This service goes out over the Internet from
town.hall.org and I think from wrnhost.com or something like that. They
carry RealAudio files of the English service on ftp://town.hall.org but
I haven't seen any Arabic files. This doesn't mean that they ain't
there. I'll send a copy of this posting to [e-mail] so they can
advise you.

But, being a licensed ham for over 14 years, it got the best of me.

What about ALL OF THOSE SHORTWAVE BROADCASTERS?
Do you think that putting them out of business and off the air would
accomplish what you are proposing?  Did it ever occur to you that hams
and these broadcasters are HELPING in this "problem" you cite or are
you too caught up in your own importance and political correctness to
see that?

I'll let the rest of those folks who read this newsgroup reply to you
if they feel it necessary.  I for one, feel that YOU are the Nazi and
YOU are the one that is causing these problems to continue and that
YOU are responsible for what is happening because for your narrow
mindedness and inability to see beyond your nose.

I recently purchased a Zenith Transoceanic Royal D7000Y radio. All in all, the
 radio
is in very good condition. I do though have a couple of questions which you mo
re
learned folks may be able to answer. First, was there ever a more complete own
ers
manual available, than the one that fit in the front cover, and where this man
ual
may be purchased from at this time. Also, might anyone have the original Zenit
h
schematics, service manual, that they could copy and ship to me. I would gladl
y
reimbuse the charges.

Also, a couple of problems, first the weather band mode seems to be very
insensitive, yet the normal FM is great. Second the dial lights, tuning
meter-battery meter, is inoperative. Any hints- suggestions.

I thank-you for any and all assistance.

I need a service manual for the Hallicrafters Radio model TW 2000
this is an all band short wave radio made in the late 40s or early 50s
and I beleive that it was made in Canada. I have two of them and both
need work but the manual is needed in order to do the job right.
Can anyone help?

I have a tape of a pirate station that I heard back in March 1981.

The station called itself "Radio Music International" and claimed to be
broadcasting above the 49 meter band (probably around 6300 kHz). It played
mostly pop, rock and soul oldies.

Does anyone remember this station?

Would anyone like a copy of the tape?

The international frequencies listed in the 1996 World Radio TV Handbook
are 9690 (25 kw, 0100-1100), 11710 (100 kw, 1000-1400, Sat-Sun
1900-2200), 15345.2 (100 kw, 1105-1305, 1700-0100, Sat-Sun 1100-2300).

Some other stations: R. Nat'l-6060, 30 kw, 2100-1500
R, Malargue, 1 kw, 1000-0100
R. Nat'l Mendoza, 6180.1, 7.5 kw, irregular.

Try the lower frequencies early in your morning if possible although the
international frequencies don't seem to be on then. (I gave all times in
GMT and Israel is GMT+2.)

WRN is a satellite network. I don't know their frequencies off hand but
you can write to [e-mail]. You can hear them via the Internet,
live or by recording. Look at http://www.wrn.org for details.

What you are describing is called a "fan dipole".  They can be joined
in the attic and fed to the receiver.  All the wires should be cut to
the bands you want to use (1/2 wave).

 Snip a lot of John's procedure.

My question is; I just got a 2010 and have noticed a number of posts that
discuss various ways to improve the 2010 by internal changes. I am not a
techie with radios. So, how, or better where, can I find reliable people
who could do some of these things to my 2010?

PS. I am in Los Angeles.

I picked up a Sony SRF-42 AM stereo walkman on sale at The Edge today for
$22.88.  The Edge is a chain of small electronics stores owned by Tandy
usually found in shopping malls.  The one I went to was in Pentagon City
Mall in the NoVA/DC area.

You might find that the cheaper the better for the SWL. Govt surplus phones ar

That might be another station with the same name... The station I heard in
'81 had a definite "American" sound to it, though, and had a rather
strong signal on the US West Coast.

I must confess to being somewhat confused too, assuming that the post in
question did indeed come from "Mr. Klingenfuss" (and not someone
pretending to be him) - I don't see how his comments in any way promote
his publication [and I say that as a reader/user of his guide].

Slagging of the WRTH and painting his own guide as the best thing since
sliced bread - not exactly flattering for either publication.

Perhaps "Mr. Klingenfuss" is worried [for some strange reason] about the
impending arrival of a WRTH WWW site and (possible) CD ROM ?

I can see no other reason for his [TTBOMK] totally unprovoked outburst.

I can personally confirm that (as indeed I am sure several other readers

Very well [and politely] put Andy, I couldn't agree more.

This whole episode seems somewhat strange.

Today I conducted an archaeological expedition into my DXing archives and
unearthed the following:

        - KVHF QSL card
        - typewritten (by KVHF) bust announcement and station history
        - 2 handwritten personal letters from KVHF with additional background
        - a recording I made of a KVHF broadcast giving a "tour" of the station
        - the "World of Radio" program about KVHF (direct copy supplied to me
        by my KVHF friend, not an over-the-air copy).

If there's any interest, I could scan the paper materials and put up a KVHF
memorial web page.  Unfortunately I lack the ability to make online sound clip
s
from the audio cassettes.

The local HRO-500 expert in this area is Joe Parker, KC4CFE in Cocoa

An interesting aspect of this is....

if you use lower side band, you'll hear Radio Bulgaria virtually
without interference.  If you tune to upper side band - well, that's
another story and it doesn't sound good - with CHU and Sofia
intermixing badly.

I have a simple question.  Why have many companies been advertising to get you
r
ICOM R71A while they last?  I know that this must mean that they are
discontinuing them but what is the replacement radio much like the R70
preceeded the R71?  Is the R71 a nice radio?

Unplug that radio NOW!!
Send it to a qualified repair place to be fixed.
Knowing that there is an electrical problem, and not doing anything about
it can be fatal!
Are you there??

If you're looking for a "table top or portable" then you need a portatop.
The sync detector and audio on the Lowe HF-150 are superb.

Has anyone any luck or suggestion for hearing RA?  I live in the eastern
USA. It seem that their schedule is backwards. They beam to the US on low
freq during the day and high (11Mhz and above) at night.  I caught it once
in the early morning, but not very clear.

I want to buy a 77.  Would like opinions on this radio - Good, bad,
indifferent.  I had a 2010 years ago - It was good.  Is the 77 good, or
should I buy another 77.  Would appreciate some opinions from readers.
Thanks,
Mike

Swap Tom Scholz Rockman mini-earphone amp for Hickok 752 tube
tester.  Will also consider military TV-2 like the Canadian
military TV-2 that one can dial-in all the tube's specs.

Rockman has the following features.  Has five controls, two
inputs (aux. stereo & mono) and two earphone outputs for you and
a friend or to hi-fi system.

Control #1 = Normal, echo off, chorus off
Control #2 = Distortion, Edge, Clean 1, Clean 2
Control #3 = Volume, Max, -5 db, -10 db
Control #4 = Gain, max to min.
Control #5 = On, Off with pilot light

The unit really sounds great and you kinda feel like you are on
stage with your amp cranked, but you don't aggravate loved ones
in the house or neighbors who do not appreciate what a fine
instrumentalist you truly are.  The unit is in its original box.
It uses 8 AA batteries.

If interested in swapping kindly email me.  Thanks.

Hi!

While chasing the new stations appearing in the 1610-1710kHz band, Ive
picked up a few aeronautical beacons as well. It would be nice to
know the locations of these beacons as they would be good propagation
indicators.

Does anyone know of a beacon list on the Web or FTP site?

Thanks for any help!

At last, after listening regularly since they came on, I
finally heard WJDM on 1660 from here in New Zealand.

I'm doubly pleased as it's my first station from New Jersey which makes it
State #25 for me!

It was fairly weak (I had to use the preamp on my R8A to hear it,
and the band was full of static crashes at the time, but I managed
to listen to it for over 2 hours before daylight in NJ saw it
fade out.

Cheers,

I bought the radio after it got a good review in one of the SW books.
I got it on sale for $70 and its definitely good enough to tide me
over until I buy whichever heavy-duty sw receiver I finally zero in on.
The only caveat is that it's not appropriate for amateur radio;
it's strictly a sw broadcast radio.

Some years ago, the original AC adapter for my 2010 quit working. (I
learned that Sony does not sell replacements of the original adapter.)
Since, I've tried various generic adapters, none of which make good
contact when plugged into the radio; I can delicately position the plug
so that it works, but the contact is tenuous at best. I've also tried
using little "shims" of split toothpicks or paper wedges; these are
also tenuous "solutions."

Please, someone tell me the brand name, model number, and place of
purchase for an AC adapter that will work. I will appreciate your help.

Regards,
Suzy

Hi Daniel, try these: Make antenna horizantal, for Rx only height
not important unless very high. Feed with coax via balun 1:1(home
made fine). Antenna sounds too long if you need to reduce RF gain,
this can overload and worsen out of band noise. So cut antenna to
favourite utility band eg 43 feet total for 11124MHZ. I would not
ground the Coax. Just use balun at the antenna, and ensure RF plug
at RX is perfect. I guess you've tried everything else, apart from
dumping all the PC's ! Good luck. 73s Bill G4ISP.

It's probably a fish tank or water bed heater.  It could even be a light
dimmer.  These are all neat little transmitters.  I once found a street
lamp that was sending a lot of garbage.

Get a portable radio and set it to a week station and walk around your
building.  You may find it.

I have a 100 yr old semi detached house in an urban neighborhood that's full
of these big old Victorians, and remarkably clear of taller buildings.  I'd
like to install a shortwave antenna somewhere for use with a SAT-700.  There's

an attic available, and the rooftop too.  The mansard style roof is topped by
a nearly flat plane covered in metal, which measures about 12'x40' with the
long axis being N-S.  I estimate this roof surface to be about 45' off the
ground.  This is what we call a twin house in this part of the country.  It
shares a common wall with another one just like it - so I guess we're really
talking about a 24'x40' metal plane (there's a foot or so of brick between
them)

Will I need to get above the metal roof?  How far?  Is anything below the
attic going to be useless?  What type and size antenna would be most generally

useful and straightforward to construct?  I'd like to keep this fairly simple.

Please email responses to [e-mail], in case I miss your post on this
newsgroup.  Thanks.

     The 2200 (I happen to have one in the collection here) had analog tuning
that could be read to the nearest khz by means of a rather nifty multi speed
(ratio) main tuning dial and a calibrator setup. It is too complext to
describe and seemed awkward at first glance, but worked quite well actually.
It also had a rotatable fold up/down ferrite bar antenna for MW listening that

was quite nice as well. I always thought someone else might have adapted the
idea, but it does require a rather large radio to incororate I guess and you
can get the same effect by turning the radio itself. A neat radio.

There is a reason for that - Radio Australia no longer considers
North America a target area.  What you hear best in North America is
their service to the Pacific.  Unfortunately, there's a bit of
difference there as far as propagation is concerned.  (Worse yet,
everything above 6 megahertz is being adversely affected by the low
point in the solar cycle)

There are numerous frequencies available, but they vary based on the
beam director and the basic transmitter power in use.   Try 9580
kilohertz from around 1100 or 1200 UTC onward...

Australia in your local evening time in eastern North America is a
difficult catch during solar minimum.  Your local morning is a much
better chance for reception.

Excellent short wave receiver for SWL or Ham radio.

Many think this R-390A/URR is the best SWL receiver ever made. This
one is a late model (one of the last production runs), made by EAC.
It is big, heavy, uses tubes. Quality look, feel, and performance.
110 or 220 VAC. Even has ovens for oscillator stability.

Has 6 IF selectivity filters ( 0.1, 1, 2, 4, 8  and 16 KHz).

Also 2 audio filter positions (Wide and Narrow).

2 meters (Line Level, Carrier Level).

Total of 17 knobs (Line Meter sw, Line Gain ctl, Ant Trim ctl, AGC sw,
Limiter ctl, Audio Response sw, Break-In sw, Bandwidth sw, BFO Pitch
ctl, Function sw, BFO sw, Dial Lock ctl, Zero Adj ctl, Local Gain ctl,
RF Gain ctl, Megacycle Change ctl, Kilocycle Change ctl)

Rack mount style (no cabinet, but has all covers). 19 in wide, 10.5
high, about 15 deep.

No speaker. No manual (Fair radio sales has manual).

It is unusually clean, near-new  appearance. I can furnish photos with
SASE - ask.

$300 plus UPS if shipped.

You can really get a strong signal strength using a a tunable
preamp-antenna made by Ameco Equipment Co. Mineola,NY 11501. Just connect
a wire to the input external antenna jack  and let the wire hang outside
the aprtment.

Actually, the price is $449.95 and shipping is $10. But the

Did anyone hear the Gordon Bennett's review of the new AR7030 receiver on
Wavescan this weekend? I tried to receive five different broadcasts of
Wavescan via AWR and WRMI this weekend from the Pacific Northwest USA, but
without any success.

If you caught the program, what was the reviewers impressions? I have a AR7030

on order, and I'm hoping I haven't made a bad decision...  ;^)

BTW, Radio Nederland's Media Network will also review the AR7030 this week.

 I haven't listened recently, but I've had good luck local mornings here
in the eastern U.S. Because R. Australia doesn't (to my knowledge) use
relays, the signal may not be as strong as you like -- it's traveling a
loooong way.

From their April 1995 schedule (sorry I don't have anything more recent):
USA/CANADA (all times UTC):
17860 kHz (0030-0600 & 2130-0000)
17795 (0030-0600 & 2130-0000)
15365 (0030-0730 & 2220-0000)
11880 (1630-2100)
11800 (1200-1630)
9860 (0630-1200 & 1630-2100)
9580 (0630-1200 & 1700-2100)
6060 (1430-2130)
6020 (0730-0900)
5995 (1200-1630)

>>Has anyone any luck or suggestion for hearing RA?  I live in the eastern
USA. It seem that their schedule is backwards. They beam to the US on low
freq during the day and high (11Mhz and above) at night.  I caught it once
in the early morning, but not very clear.<<

signal in central Ohio at 8 pm Eastern Time on February 8th.   If you
see this note and are outside the U.S., they still may be audible in
your area since 1670 is a clear channel.  8 pm Eastern Time is
equivalent to 0100 UTC onward on February 9th.

Noted with pop music until 8:30 pm (0130 UTC), then Classic Rock.

The CBS affiliate in Washington, DC (WUSA channel 9) carried a feature on the
1670 test during
the 11:00 pm news. Showed video of the studio, truck, and antenna. Reported th
at the station
would be deployed to Tuzla in Bosnia, and the frequency would be 1143 kHz. My
1993 WRTH lists an
inactive station in Tovarnik, Croatia on 1143 kHz with 300 kW.

I haven't heard it, but it could well be... The company that owns
CIAO/530 also owns CIDC/103.5, which ids as "Hot 103 Dot 5".

Just letting everyone know what I heard all the way home from
work...tonight is the last night this station (was KTRK, now ABS, on 1670)
 will be transmitting. They will sign off at midnight and then sign back
on at 6am EST, and then when they sign off at the end of the broadcast day
(at 5pm EST, I think the DJ said), that will be ALL for the station. Heard
them tonight with classic rock, and the DJ said to stay tuned as "all your
questions about this station" will be answered sometime tonight...

AIR can be heard at 10.30EST. The news in english is the same as the local
English news you hear in India at 9pm(IST). Prior to the news the same
frequency (9910Khz) has a Afghan language service for an hour with some
hindi film songs. AIR (External service) can be heard on 11620 every day
from 3P.M to 6.45(EST). There are other language services at other
frequencies such as Tamil ( 13950) at 7.15 pm (EST)

Excuse me ifr you get more than one copy of this as my mail-sending
server has been hiccuping very badly.

The primary source of shortwave radio stations on the Internet is the
World Radio Network. (http://www.wrn.org). They use at least 2 kinds of
software. (I think a third one requires more than a modem connection.)

1) You can get WRN1 to North American and WRN2 Multi-Lingual live using
the http://www.xingtech.com Streamworks player. The servers are
town.hall.org (Internet Multicasting Service) and WRNHOST.WRN.ORG but
the latter only carries the multi-lingual service as of the last time I
tried it.

2) At some point, WRN posts http://www.realaudio.com versions of their
programs at their "sound store" page. These can either be played
directly on the RealAudio player or downloaded and played off-line on
the Real Audio player.

Here are some other stations:

The Voice of America makes some of their programs available on
gopher.voa.gov. There are several formats including zipped 8-bit wave
and .au format. Whereas the RealAudio version of Communications World
posted by the World Radio Network on the Sound Store takes up 1.7 Megs
(cannot be compressed by zip or anything similar) the zip'ed 8-bit .wav
file takes up about 7 Megs, 19 Megs uncompressed, and the other formats
are even worse. I think the sound quality may be a bit better than
RealAudio but unless there's music involved, who cares?

3) Some of Kol Yisrael's programs are available from
http://www.artificia.com. Only one English program is available, 1500.
The headlines are in RealAudio format. The 10-minute news segment is in
"Internet Wave" format. (http://www.vocaltec.com) A half-hour broadcast
may go on WRN if they can get a sponsor.

I have designed a switching scheme that allows the user to select
the stock 12KHz AM filter or the narrow SSB 4.0KHz while still in
the AM mode. I have found this to make a BIG difference when trying
to receive a weak shortwave station next to a very strong one.
The only part required is a switch and some wire.
My mod has no effect on the use of the DS8000 speech inversion accessory.

Send me email if interested.

Radio station ARMY (formerly KTRK!) at almost armchair level here in
Eastern Kansas on 1670 at 6 PM CST (Midnight UT). Soft pop music, IDs,
etc. Very much in the clear.

Also WJDM Radio Aahs, Elizabeth, NJ on 1660 with rock and roll (almost
boogie woogie style!). Relatively weak and some splatter from 1670.

Hear with a SONY 7600G and Select-A-Tenna. ARMY was very strong with the
Select-A-Tenna, virtually nonexistent without it!

     Monitored ARMY radio (KTRK) 1670 kHz on Feb. 8, 0044-0130 and
     0300-0330 UTC. Reception was extremely good 5x5 to 5x9 with moderate
     fading and some heterodyne from nearby stations. Excellent broadcast
     audio quality.

     Monitoring equipment was the following:

        Receiver:       Kenwood TS-850S
        Antenna:        66' inverted L with (6) 35' ground radials

     Programming consisted of classic rock music (Lou Reed, The Who,
     etc...) and discussion of station equipment and callsign origin.
     A reception report, QSL and tape recorded monitoring session will be
     sent.

For some reason, the BBC World Service web page is NOT on the BBC server
but on their Internet Access Provider ("BBC Networking Club") server.

http://www.bbcnc.org.uk/worldservice

They carry the schedules for the current month and, after the 10th or
so, the next month, for all streams. They also have the frequencies. The
last time I looked at these, they were in picture format (.gif) and also
in the form of a lookup table. Of course, you have to take these with a
grain of salt. I am in San Francisco. Sometimes in the mornings, my best
frequency is 9740 on the Asia/Pacific stream from Singapore. Sometimes
in the afternoons or early evening, my best frequency can be 11750 from
Ascension. I don't think either of these are listed for West Coast
Canada/U.S. On the other hand, they have had listed frequencies which I
could never receive.

Today is Feb 8, 1996.  I'll take bids until Noon, Feb 13, 1996.

I have one shortwave radio receiver, circa 1959, in near-mint condition.  You
may, of course, inspect and try out the item before paying if you're
local to Seattle.  If not satisfied, the next highest bidder will be offered
the radio.  Buyer pays shipping if required.  I don't know whether the
radio works.

Walter,

It is probably low sunspot numbers and long skip.  You might
want to try the relays from KWHR in Hawaii from your
location.  Here is the complete schedule from the Cumbre
FAQ:

Schedule via WHRI

Fri.    2330 UTC        5745 kHz
Sat.    0600 UTC        5760, 7315 kHz
Sat.    2330 UTC        9495 kHz
Sun.    0430 UTC        5760 kHz
Sun.    1930 UTC        13760 kHz

Schedule via KWHR

Sat.    0500 UTC        9930 kHz
Sat.    1200 UTC        9930 kHz
Sun.    1300 UTC        9930 kHz
Mon.    0330 UTC        17510 kHz


I have found the Friday 2330 UTC edition on 5.745 MHz to be
good here in Virginia.  I too have experienced interference
on the 5.760 MHz frequency.  The 0500 UTC 9930 path from
Hawaii to Victoria should be good. They are beaming East
Asia at this time. You will be off the side of their pattern
so don't expect them to rattle your windows.  Let me know if
it works.

You really have to be very precise about the test conditions to
achieve dynamic range measurements that can be compared, and since
no review I've seen gives enough detail, it's hard to say exactly
what the reviewers are measuring. Furthermore, dynamic range is
difficult to characterize from a single test. Depending on what
sort of nonlinearity is present and where in the signal chain it
is, different symptoms may be expected.

In the side-by-side comparison using real signals, the only symptom
of nonlinearity I was able to find in either receiver was a few
faint mixing products in the 2-3 MHz range from local BCB stations.
On the R8 these disappeared when the attenuator was engaged, but
on the R8A they did not. By this practical test of dynamic range,
the R8 was actually better than the R8A, although the problem was
slight in either case.

With my hand on one of the knobs, I think that the R8 is one of
the finest receivers ever made. The buttons, on the other hand,
are frustrating.

I recently bought a DX 395, I'm having trouble getting anything.
I'm also a novice.  Is this due to a defect, or bad weather?  It
is under warrenty, so I could get it fixed.  Also it is digital.
I have had better luck with non-digital, so I'm wondering if
digital models are of less quality.

My Radio shack DX-390 (two years old) has suddenly lost all Short
Wave reception.  All other wave bands are OK.  I gather from reading
these columns over the past few months that this is a common
occurrence with this model, probably related to a design fault in the antenna
input that results in the frying of some components by small charges of
static electricity.

I seem to remember that some posters either had the set replaced, or else
repaired free by Radio Shack.  My set is out of warranty, but I figure that
if I took it back to Radio Shack with some proof that such repairs/replacement
s
without charge are company policy, and have been done for others, they might d
o
something for me.

I would therefore like to ask anyone out there who has had this problem
fixed by Radio Shack, with no charges, to please send me that information
by e mail.  Many thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

Norm Fleming

   No such luck.  If it's out of warranty, it won't be free.  In fact, it will

cost around $45.00 to get the $7-8 worth of parts replaced, and about three
weeks to do it.
   Earlier, there was a person who had a schematic for isolating the static
charge from the antenna with diodes and a resistor.  A Radio Shack employee
mentioned that some people take an 1/8 th inch plug, clip the end off from it
so only the barrel will make connection, and plug it in the antenna jack.
That part of the plug would be then connected to an earth ground, this way you

could still use the rod antenna.

I've found this radio works best with the antenna completely retracted
(FM) and pointed vertically (but not extended) (sw). I really like the
digital display and scanning feature. My major disappointment with it
is the gaps in coverage.

Howdy,

Randy, if I properly understand your question all you need is the
output frequencies of your local ham repeater[s]. I believe that what
you are making reference to is the "Sky Warn Net.  If so, most local ham
clubs participate in this operation.

What happens is when the National Weather Service issues a severe
weather alert [watch] for a given area, the local club[s] in that area
go into action.  They send out spotters to strategic locations and
also set up communications with the nearest NWS office. The NWS
personel feed info to the base station that is in charge of the local
ham operation which in turn relays this info to the mobile units.  The
Mobile units feed on site info to the base unit which in turn relays
this info to the NWS.  All this can and does often make for interesting
and informative listening.

Since I am neither a ham nor a really serious scanner buff I'm sure that
there are those on the newsgroup that can and will provide you with more
and better information than I have.

Cheers    :o)    cws

Andy and I have corresponded on this already, and I don't blame him for
being displeased.  I certainly am, since I have worked for Passport for
over four years, and I would not work for a publication that would join
in such an unprovoked and unjustified  attack.  I support Andy and WRTH

  As a long-time Usenet and FidoNet user, and I second that.  Indeed,
despite people sometimes taking cheap shots, complaining loudly about
things that fall within the general vicissitudes publishing and
lamenting that WRTH cannot be all things to all people,  Andy has
always responded in a friendly and helpful manner.  I also use
Klingenfuss' publication, and can't believe that he wouldn't
understand how poorly this reflects on him and his publication.

Something that people who tend to bandy about phrases like "internet
nazis" tend to forget is that not *everything* is an opinion.  Some things
are facts, and some things are errors.  When someone makes an argument
based on an error of fact, pointing out the error shouldn't open one to
attact with loaded phrases.

BTW, since the word "nazis" has been used, this thread is officially over.  :-

Brian:

Thanks for making available your extensive listing of old radio
sources. I hope some day to resurrect my boyhood Hammarlund HQ-100;
it's cosmetically good and  still lights up and the tubes test OK but
there's a dead band and a dire need for re-alignment.

Now I've got plenty of ammunition.

COMFORTABLE ones.
        Stay away from super-hifi sets, electrostatics and so forth.
        I recommend the SONYs. For the money they are good sound and so
comfortable that you can listen for hours un-fatigued.

I stopped at Fair Radio in Lima Ohio a few years ago and
rummaged through their pile of WW2 surplus earphones.  The
pair I bought cost me $4.00.  Many had open elements. Test
with an ohmmeter.  If you hear a click when connecting the
ohmmeter you know the element is OK.  These phones feature a
metal diaphragm which makes the frequency response roll off
above about 2 KHz.  They are ideal for DXing because they
eliminate a lot of the higher frequency noise and
heterodynes.  It's like having an audio low pass filter that
matches the voice frequencies.

Hi gang:

I need your help.

While doing some research in the Grove frequency database, I
stumbled across the following:

2.194 MHz     Carolina Power & Light
2.194 MHz     GTE Mobile Communications
2.194 MHz     Southern Bell (BellSouth)
3.155 MHz     Carolina Power & Light

4.438 MHz     GTE Mobile Communications
4.438 MHz     Southern Bell (BellSouth)
4.438 MHz     Virginina Electric and Power
5.005 MHz     Carolina Power & Light
5.005 MHz     Southern Bell (BellSouth)
5.005 MHz     Virginina Electric and Power
6.765 MHz     Carolina Power & Light
6.765 MHz     GTE Mobile Communications
6.765 MHz     Southern Bell (BellSouth)
6.765 MHz     Virginina Electric and Power
7.300 MHz     Carolina Power & Light

11.452 MHz    Southern Bell (BellSouth)
15.604 MHz    Southern Bell (BellSouth)
18.064 MHz    Southern Bell (BellSouth)

Can somebody advise me on how these frequencies are used,
any known nets on them. and any other useful information.
Also, could someone suggest a website that deals with
HF utility stations?

Please post or e-mail.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Drake Sw8 with a Evesdropper Dipole and would like to
sqeeze out a little more signal coverage. Are any of those DSP
units worth the money or would a pre-amp of some sort help
better.

Thanks for any advice

No. But could you please post my name, call letters of my station, and
time I'm on so I can pick up more new listeners?

P.S. light is something I would guess you know all about especially

I had one of these receivers. I enjoyed it quite a bit until I replaced
it with a Drake R4 receiver with the shortwave band crystals added.
I never was able to get the last band (16MHz to 30MHz I think) to work
well, even with vernier band trimmers shunting the supplied trimmers,
and a higher performance RF transistor. The RF bandpass on this band
was sufficiently narrow, and the receiver drifty enough, that it would
not stay in alignment just with temperature changes. Most of the current
run of upper end portables such as the Sony ICF2200 and Grundig 700
handily outperform my recollection of the GC-1A. It didnt even come
close to competing with the performance of my Yaesu FRG-100.

All TSCM people have heard about AID devices, but few know the actual freq
they use, or what they look like.

The devices are VERY popular with the law enforcement crowd, private
investigators and corporate security types. The equipment is VERY overpriced,
and the fairly easy to detect.

AID bills itself as "The World's Largest Manufacturer of Electronic
Intelligence Equipment and Specialized Protective Systems"

AID was founded in 1970, and was sold in 92/93 to Westinghouse (Westinghouse i
s
currently selling TONS of equipment to the DEA and State dept)
_____________________________________________________________________________

AID - Westinghouse/Audio Intelligence Devices, Inc. Bug Freqs

150 mhz - 174 mhz  Standard/Primary Band (Most Popular)
135 mhz - 150 mhz  Special Order/Secondary Band
216 mhz - 220 mhz  Special Order
400 mhz - 470 mhz  UHF Repeaters

 36 mhz -  39 mhz  Very Low Power WFM (.5mw - 50mw)   ***Very Dangerous***
 80 khz - 200 khz  "Line Carrier" Miscrophone Systems ***Very Dangerous***

1700mhz - 1900mhz  25-250mw Video and audio bugs (Mostly DEA/DOJ stuff)
2450mhz - 2484mhz  25-250mw Video and audio bugs
_____________________________________________________________________________

If the signal is "scrambled" it is nothing more than simple voice inversion,
a circuit to "de-scramble" costs around $20.

Note: AID devices are often re-tuned for outband channels... so be careful.

The area of spectrum from 35mhz to 500mhz is the primary threat, 500mhz to 3gh
z
is the secondary threat, a "line carrier" threat is from 30khz to 750khz.

If the person planting the bug suspects that a TSCM may be conducted then
AID suggests a frequency between 30mhz to 50mhz, sensitivity of rcvr should
be better than .18uv/-122dbm.

Also, keep in mind that AID devices are frequently used for illegal buggings,
so be familiar with what their realistic specs are, expect power outputs under
50mw, and expect to see the AC power circuits being used as the antennae.

You can try ferite cores.   These are in the shape of rings or donuts.
You would put an AC core through the ring, and loop it back around and
through the ring again, say 3 or 4 times.  Try this with the computer
cord, radio cord and any any peripherals.  A relatively cheap solution
that may or may not work.

I imagine the next question is "Where do I get these things?"  I'm
afraid I can't answer that.  Does anyone else know?

   WHOA!!!!  Wait a minute!  While I disagree with most that Jay Marvin says

   To suggest that somebody is "Off his medication", is more than a bit
repulsive.  Even thought the above quoted text was similar to what Jay accused

me of doing (having my head up someone else's rear end, as Jay put it), this
kind of suggestion has got to stop.
   While I may vehemetly disagree with his political stand and feel at times

respect what he has done with his career.

In the Denver AM broadcast region, the local station at 1190 calls itself
KHOW2 but the FCC database available on the web says it is KBCO. Doesn't
a station have to give the correct call letters or is there some
flexability here?

FROM LOYD AGAIN:

Wow!  This station has more names than things that taste like chicken!!

Loud and clear on Feb 5th from here at DX Central.  Loudest thing on the
dials this night in fact.  A few Mexicans,(540, 1050, etc..) mostly loud
dominant northern clears.  No hets from Latin Americans were heard.
(Other than a VERY weak het from 555-St. Kitts).  Not a good latin night
AT all.  :-(  Although UNID SS's were heard on 1300 and 1200 (Under WOAI)
I believe the 1300 one to be a domestic, but the 1200 throws me. QSL
request has been sent to KTRK and now just waiting for reply!

Hope you all caught this one.  It should have been easy.  Also, once they
go to Bosnia, will the power remain at 5kw??  Or will they up it?  I sure
would like to get two QSl's from them, one from Bosnia! (TA's are NOT
regular here).

Have fun, 73's and best of DX!!

The FCC's authority runs only to non-government stations. However,
under normal conditions, government stations operating on
non-government frequencies coordinate the use with the FCC to avoid
interference.

UNID SS on 1200 kHz was most likely YVOZ R. Tiempo, Caracas, Venezuela. Used t
o hear them during
WOAI maintenance time from San Antonio. Much more difficult after FCC decided
to 'garbage' the
clear channels. Station in Leesburg, VA prevents much DX reception on 1200 kHz

consists of rock music, and power is 5 kilowatts.

According to announcements heard on "K-Truck," you can QSL them
at:

ABS Room 340
601 North Fairfax Street
Alexandria VA 22315

or call [phone].

The KTRK(TV) call letters, by the way, are officially assigned to
channel 13 in Houston Texas.

      I tuned into 1670 tonight (2/6 0615 UTC) and found a strong Rock & Roll
station on 1670. The call  is KTRK  from Fort Mead, Maryland. They even gave
a 301 area code phone number for requests. I called it and the DJ said they
were authorized for testing the next 4 days. Since they have a "K" call sign
I am curious as to what this is about. They spelled out their call as
 "Killo Tango Romeo Killo", could it be military, or a pirate? They also
said it was a temporary test of the "Tactical AM Broadcasting Service" and
would continue for the next 24 hours, "K-Truck". Sounds like military to me.

    Following-up on my own posting.  Yes, it is a military test! I called them
up, a new DJ, and got more details. They are conducting a test and will tear
down the equipment after 4 days and "send it wherever the US government wants
it". Lots of "yes sir", when talking to them ... sounds legit!

Pete: I caught them also from 0430 till about 0615 UTC.  I also heard
that it was only a 24 hour test of a military service.  Perhaps they
will be on the air longer if they are authorized for 4 days.  They are
requesting reception reports from listeners outside of a 50 mile
radius of their site.
As of 1200UTC  2/6, I could still pick them up.  The signal quickly
faded around 1230UTC.

This test does make a call I remember getting when doing RNI a few yeas ago
jel in my head.  We had a call from a self proclaimed "pirate" who said we
was broadcasting without a license, but legally from a military base in the
DC area.  It opened up some questions as to how, but he would not answer
them.

These tactical broadcast stations are used to provide news and
entertainment to troops on temporary duty overseas, i.e. Bosnia, the Gulf
War, etc.  They are also loaned to reserve units when they are called up to
assist in the aftermat of a domestic natural desaster.

In Vietnam the key station in Saigon was located in a building downtown and
the AM transmitter in a quanset hut at the Cat Lo Navy Base along the South
China Sea.  The TV, FM and back up AM transmitter was at the same building
as the studios, however the repeater AM stations up country were all in
these tactical vans and so were the other TV stations.

Obviously, some of these tactical station facilities are tested live
periodically and that's what our "friend" was most likely involved with,
probably as a "civilian consultant" or he could have been an Army man who
also was a real pirate.

This test is one that is using a high power transmitter, (most of the vans
run 250w to 1Kw).  Also this is really the first time people are really
monitoring the expanded AM band.  Who knows how many short term/low power
tests have come out of Ft. Meade over the years that we never knew about?

UK FIRST
KTRK 1670kHz, the US  Army mobile station  operating from Ft Meade MD was
heard on the first attempt last night in SE England. Weak signal heard
between 2300 and 2400UTC 6th Feb. (Note some interference at times from
Brest Radio (French Coastal station on 1671kHz)

In western KY good signal, with occasional fade to weak. DX440, 70 foot
longwire.

With my GE Superadio III, internal ferrite rod, weak but OK.

Much better than WJDM on 1660!

Also later heard them on my car radio, Grand AM!!!! About like the GE.

I was alerted to this by a phone call; alas, a product of KMBZ and KPRT
(*was* KPRT *really* running 47 watts last night?) was camped out right on
1670, on both my NAD 4300 and both GE Superradio IIIs. So no reception in
central Kansas City, MO.

The choice of call letters is, shall we say, interesting, given that
KTRK-TV is the ABC O&O on channel 13 in Houston.

Comes in fairly clearly here in Ottawa, Ont on my YB400, as well as about
S9 on my old DX150B. Does anyone know what the test is for?

They ID as "This is KTRK kilo tango romeo kilo, temporarily
operating from Fort Meade, Maryland, United States of America"

I just decided to give it a try and they were pounding in here in downtown
Manhattan, some fading though.  Normally the noise in the area makes AM DX
really impossable in the house, I have to do my AM DX in the car or in a
park with a portable, but they were getting over the buzz most of the time.

I tuned in the middle as the announcer was explaining the call change from
KTRK, which was short for K-TRUCK, the ID they use for the FM portable
station they have, (I guess that's the service the Army runs during the
clean up of natural desasters, I remember they made the news a few years
ago in the Hurricane clean up in Florida).

The announcer went on to say that they knew about KTRK-TV in Huston and
that call signs were ocassionally split across the country on the different
bands.  He said they went back to IRAC(?) the military frequency authority
and requested a call change.  He explained the K, W, A and N callsign
prefixes and mentioned that they chose ARMY for call on the the second
night after they realized their signal was going 3000 miles.

It's good to see someone who knows what really goes on explain it
accurately and simply for the general public.  I've heard some professional
radio DJ's and newspeople get techno stories all screwed up when trying to
explain them on the air.

This is a test of the mobile station which after the test ends
Friday...gets shipped to Bosnia, and will operate there on 1143.
Now THAT would / WILL be a DX catch. I called them and asked.

The Station was heard well last night In Metuchen, central New Jersey.
The equipment used was a Sony 2010.  I had to use the narrow filter in the
Sony do to the fact that wjdm is 10 khz down the band.

KTRK, the station run by the U.S. Army, is testing  on 1670 kHz this
evening (as of 0411, anyway) with 70s rock and lots and lots of IDs.
The station is from Fort Meade, Maryland, and is supposed to be on
for only 24 hours from what I understand.  Absolutely pounding in
here in New Jersey, not bad for 5 kW.

KRTK "K-TRUCK" 1670 is on now and booming into Michigan (SIO 4/5 4/5 4/5).
They're playing blues and jazz and have quite a few announcements including
phonetic announcements of their call and the like....

I heard ARMY as well on the way to work this evening(11:40-11:50pm EST)
with a very strong signal. The signal had no fading from 11:40-11:45, then
the next 5 mins was with some fading, but I was in a valley so not to sure
if that was cuasing it. I'm just using the plain old Delco tpye of radio
thats found in most cars, (Saturn). I also heard 1660 but the signal was
nothing compared to 1670.

I called them and asked some questions about what they were using.
According to the specialist who answered the phone,  the transmitter is
a Harris SX-5 running 5000 Watts to a 140 foot monopole with 120 ground
radials.  The audio quality is very good,  they are running full 10 kHz
audio instead of NRSC-2 because the transmitter is going to Europe
(and they are the government anyway). :-)

At noon on 2/5, KTRK ("K-Truck") began a 24-hour test transmission from
Fort Meade, MD. From 0230-0330 UTC last night, when I listened, they
were reaching NYC with an S9 signal but reasonably deep fading. Still
their 70's oldies marathon sounded quite strong, with excellent audio
and only slight splatter from WJDM on my SuperRadio.

They were soliciting reception reports from locations >50 miles from
the Baltimore-Washington area, to be mailed to:

     ABS Room 340

The DJ's were taking song requests at 301-677-1377. When I called, they
were appreciative of positive comments, and admitted that they were
new at this :-)

I sure could use a copy of the user's manual and/or technical (e.g.,
calibration instructions) manual for the military OS-8E/U portable
o'scope. Happy to pay reasonable copying costs, or will buy original if
you have a spare.

>Thanks in Advance

The "basic" VHF marine (FM) frequencies are between 156 Mhz and 163 Mhz at
25 Khz spacing.

CH 06 = 156.300  [mandatory intership safety communications]
CH 16 = 156.800  [mandatory - distress safety & calling channel]
CH 26 = 157.300 (tx) 161.900 (rx) - ship to shore telephone
CH 28 = 157.400 (tx) 162.000 (rx) - ship to shore telephone
CH 68 = 156.425 non-commercial ship to ship and intership - primary channel

CH 69 = 156.575 non-commercial ship to ship and intership

Yes, you need a FCC Ship/aircraft Radio Station License that is good for 10
years, has an assigned call  and cost $100 +  (I think it was $120 last
year, but it could have been $140)

No "test" or questions to study for, but it does cost $$$. - I'd say the
"Ham" License, and a good HT would be a better choice considering all you
have to do is pass a simple test. I just passed the Ham General test (call
pending) which I plan to use on my boat more than the VHF Marine radio I
have on board - then again, I don't go that far from shore (5 miles maybe).
I also carry a handheld CB on the boat
in case nothing else works. Keep in mind that if your thoughts are for
"Emergency Use" that the FCC "allows" just about any means of
communications - any band, power, etc in a true emergency on ham or marine
frequencies.

Hello Everyone,

     I am wondering if there is a relativly simple way to determine what
the carrier is on any given band.  I hear all sorts of carriers, and
things but cant determine what mode they arre operating at.ETC.ETC.

     Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED..

Another problem that plagues the Sony ICF-2010 in sideband mode is it's
fast acting AGC.   Fast AGC is fine for A.M. reception where the rectified R.F
.
energy from the AM carrier is used to derive the AGC voltage.   In sideband mo
dehowever, the fast AGC will cause a "pumping" sound.

A sideband signal doesn't transmit a carrier, therefore, the R.F. energy that
is present is contained in the sidebands.   The sidebands are generated by the

audio modulation and when the energy is rectified, the fast AGC will change at

the audio rate.  The AGC in turn will modulate the radio's gain and cause the
pumping sound.

I modified my Sony ICF-2010 by adding a fast attack slow release timing circui
t to the AGC transistor Q4 (refer to the Sony service manual).  The ground sid
e of
a 10 uF, AGC timing capacitor was connected to an NPN transistor that I added
to disable the AGC timing during scanning (the emmitter connects to ground). T
he
base of the of the transistor connects to a signal (in series with a 10 K
resistor) called "Muting" on IC502 (the radio controller IC).  The muting sign
al
goes low during scanning or when the tuning knob is turned. It reduces the
"popping" caused by the synthesizer.

I use it to disable the AGC timing during scanning.   When a strong signal is
encountered it can cause the new AGC circuit to reduce the radio's gain.  When

the radio resumes scanning, it can skip weaker signals.  The problem will
persist until the AGC recovers.  The mute signal will eliminate the problem by

switching back to the fast attack, fast release AGC timming during scanning.

Hi there... I was wondering if you had any motorola Ht's on the 500 mhz
band... my explorer group has recieved authorization from the Police
dept to use their frequencies, and we could really use a few for field
events... We will need one multi channel radio, and the rest can be
dual, or single channel.... Thanks...

Mike -
Caveat empmtor (buyer beware).  Make sure the PD radio shop will pop
for the channel elements for any radios you purchase or check the
price for "crystalling" the radios - the cost can be prohibitive
and, therefore, you might look into buying new or late model used
programmable radios.  Make sure they support the coding features
your department uses PL tone, CTCSS tones, whatever it might be.

Ron, I'll betcha you can find that same signal every couple hundered kHz
or so up and down from where you're hearing it.  Do you have a touch-lamp,
a dimmer switch, or a motion-detector lamp?  If not, I'll bet one of your
neighbors does.  If you have a portable, go to battery power and throw all
the circuit breakers in your apartment.  If the noise disappears, you're
shooting yourself in the foot.  If not, you'll need a sympathetic building
manager to help you track down the culprit.  Then it's time to turn on the
neighborly charm and convince the offending neighbor to get rid of the
device.  Good luck.  My neighbor was cooperative.  Hope your's is the
same.

Bill,

I'd be surprised if you could get it in Oregon, but
the signal you're describing sounds exactly like
Royal Canadian Air Force beacon NB from North Bay,
Ontario, on 530 kHz (at least it was back in 1969
when they QSLed me--don't hear them now because
there's a broadcast station on 530 kHz or thereabouts).
That would be quite a catch from your QTH!
Are you hearing it with any regularity?

Get the BBC World Service schedule for the Americas. The March schedule
was just posted to rec.radio.shortwave. The February and March schedules
should be on http://www.bbcnc.org.uk/worldservice. Note that the times
and dates are 5 hours ahead of EST. The biggy is Saturdays at I believe
5 P.M. EST. (2200 GMT). You might try 5975 kHz, 6175, 7325 or 9590. I'm
not certain (I'm in S.F.) but I believe that channel 13 (WNET) carries
BBCWS on its second audio program. You'll need either an MTS stereo TV

Hello all,

This is my first time here cause i just bought a Panasonic RF 4800 used.  I
was using a Radio shack dx 390.  I am fairly new but would like to know more
about this radio.  I paid $75.00.  Is this a good deal or a bad one.  Is this
a good radio or not.  Any onfo at all any one has I would really appreiciate
it.  The seller told me it has s problem of silver switches needing cleaning
and that is why some of the switches are noisey.  Anyone ever hear of this.
If so anyone know where I can get it fixed for a reasonable price.  I am in
Austin TX.  Thank you for any info you may have.

BOB Johnson

: I have a tape of a pirate station that I heard back in March 1981.

: The station called itself "Radio Music International" and claimed to be
: broadcasting above the 49 meter band (probably around 6300 kHz). It played
: mostly pop, rock and soul oldies.

: Does anyone remember this station?

: Would anyone like a copy of the tape?

You could digitize several minutes of the tape and place the file in .wav
or .voc format on some FTP site for those interested to get.  If the
quality is reduced somewhat, the file size could be kept to a reasonable
size.

I would like to know if there is a FTP site that has or specializes in
archiving the .voc or .wav music files online.  There are some old audio
and music that would be interesting, to me, to listen to.  I might be
interested in hearing for example, the old Edison cylinders with early
recodrings, or something similar.

In the San Fernando Valley, California, United States of America, I used a
Sangean ATS-803A and 20 feet of wire on my apartment balcony to hear the
following:

2/3/96 (UTC date, was 2/2 California date),0408-0445*,SIO=344, 6955 single
sideband. KDED "K Dead." Country and Western music, seven minutes of a
female reading pornography over a guitar playing, "K dead, participating
in Pirate Radio Insanity 3," slight drifting down in frequency, said they
had a special QSL card for accurate reception reports sent with a three
minute tape of the listener talking about whatever they wanted to: the
tapes would later be used on an "open mike" or "blabber mouth" show that
they would broadcast. Announced the Providence, RI mail drop. Off the air
with, "Lucy, you cannot be in the show."

2/4/96 (UTC date), 0138-0222, SINPO=23212, 6955 single sideband. Music,
comedy sketches, lost to local interference from 0158-0218. Possibly Up
Against The Wall Radio. If anyone has an ID on this, please contact me.

2/4 (UTC),*0400-0450*,SIO=333, 6955 single sideband.  KDED "K Dead."
Foreign-language music, country & western, sound effects, sound collages,
party music. Male read pornographic story for 14 minutes. Transmitter
would either go dead or transmit at greatly reduced power for one to two
seconds at a time throughout the broadcast. "Are you ready for Pirate
Radio Insanity 3, right here on K dead?"  Again, off the air with, "Lucy,
you cannot be in the show."

And now for two requests. First, in addition to needing an ID for the 2/4
broadcast, I would like one for a broadcast 1/14/96, 0342-0410, 6955
single sideband. Second, I enjoy reading other's free radio logs, so post
'em here, please!

     Hi there,

     I've just got a Sony ICF-SW1S as a Xmas present from my wife, and I
would like to know if it's possible to listen to any other SW american radio
station besides VOA.
     I live in downtown Sao Paulo-SP-Brazil and don't know much about SWing.
     The little radio has an active antenna (4 AA size batteries) and a
controller.
     Is there a list of frequencies that I could use? What's the best
position for the antenna?
     Thank you very much.


     --Eduardo.

The original poster of this thread considered Radiation to mean Nuclear
Radiation, such as "they are going to put radiation in the atmosphere." I
should have clarified the last line as:  not "nuclear radiation"

Just fer the record...ICOM didn't just decide to delete the 800-900
MHz coverage from any of their radios.  It was our folks in Washington
D.C. who made it illegal to listen to the cellular telephone
frequencies when they modified the Communications Act of 1934.

I believe the cutoff date for the manufacture of equipment openly
capable of receiving cellular freqs is April of 1994.

Just some gee whiz info.  :)

You can get RA mostly on 21740 in the evenings around 7PM(EST). After 9PM
better recption on 17795. Cricket broadcasts can be heard on 21525.

Jenhull's list of frequencies for Radio Australia is pretty complete, though
there is an additional one at 137xx kHz (sorry, my book and
radio-with-presets are elsewhere) audible sometimes in the eastern US early
evening. 9860 and 9580 are good frequencies for the morning (4 a.m. or
earlier till 8-9 a.m. eastern standard USA time). 5995 is sometimes better
toward the last part of that period. Last spring and summer 11800 was good
too, but not now. Last summer the signals on 17860 and 17795 were good in the
late evening. In general, best listening is in the morning.

Hope this helps,
Tony

As far as I know, R Belize left shortwave a few years ago.  I heard them
back in 1988 or 89 (I think it was), but I have not seen any loggings of
that station since then.

Best regards from Norway!

Hi there

Thanks for reading this posting.

Our publication - Playback - is a monthly 40 page A5 magazine distributed on
a subscription basis to readers in the UK and other parts of Europe. It's
put together by three ex-pirate radio deejays, with help from correspondents
in various parts of the world. We are basically doing it for fun, but
properly. We want to let our readers know what is going on in the broadcast ra
dio
world (we don't do TV or amateur radio). But we really need reporters /
correspondents who can write some words every month on what is happening
radio-wise in their area/country.

There's no real pay, but there are free magazines for correspondents, plus
big discounts on radio souvenirs such as CDs, tapes and the like. And you
get the kick of knowing you are letting other radio fans know what's
happening in your local scene. Also, any freebies we get are shared out!

Wherever you are in the world, we do really want to hear from you. In
particular we would like to hear from radio fans in Australia/New Zealand,
Israel/Middle East, USA/Canada, South America, and some parts of Europe.

The only qualifications needed are: Access to a computer, ability to send
and receive regular e-mails (or contribute via disk), and an enthusiasm for
broadcast radio. Don't worry if your spelling or English are not too good,
our Spanish and French isn't either!  We can sort out all the grammar at our
end.

If you think you can help us on a regular basis, please send me an e-mail
(address below) and I'll get back to you.

Thanks for your time
ATB
Mike

It has changed it's name to Channel Africa and now broadcasts primarily
for African audience.  Consult WRTH for schedule details or check one of
the SWL web-sites.

That's about the going price. But you should check the C. Crane
catalogue. (800 522 8863) They have several different Select-A-Tenna
models--one for direct connection to the receiver another with a
connector for an additional exterior antenna.

I use a Roberts 870, which is very good, but big.  And if I could change one t

Please note that I am not recommending it over and above other receivers, for

My 16-year old son & I each have a Sony 2001.  Had them for over 10
years... still work find (except for that sticky volume slide).  It
seems to do much better with just the built-in rod antenna than with
anything else.

The topic of AM stereo receivers has been a recurrent one in this group.
Perhaps you have not noticed that. The poster did nothing wrong, but you
did by acting impulsively and criticizing him unjustly. I would suggest
that you read and enjoy this group and not try to police it. Lord know
that the Federal government is going to pick up all those policing chores
anyway :).

When in the United States, pick up a copy of "Popular Photography"
magazine.  That source will give you prices in the advertisements of
"Bi-Rite Camera", "Executive Camera", and "Smile Camera"  All of these
merchants are in New York City.  Prices for the 77 range from $408 to
$460.
Good Luck,

Last week  I sent  a  mesage via  the rrs  group , however aftrwards  the

was the common case  of swl$l  list  last yer for somewhile to delay
mesages due to unknown  reasons  for me

In contrastof it  when I made a QUERY   this Monday , the  listserver
immedately replied to me  that I am  not subscribed. However  all lst year
 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 ?

The CBC program Quirks and Quarks will feature the following
segments on its Sunday morning broadcast to the USA:

1.  What foods can actually show a health benefit?  Q&Q
examines claims made for oat bran in reducing cholesterol.

2.  Language development in chimpanzees.

3.  The death of the final member of a species that has
existed on Earth for 1.5 million years occurred this week at
the London zoo.  Hear about the Polynesian Tree Snail.

4.  Using the worldwide web to peer through a big telescope.
What does telerobotic science portend for the furure?

Quirks and Quarks is beamed to the USA on shortwave
frequencies of 9.640 and 11.855 MHz on Sunday mornings after
the news at 1300 UTC (8 AM EST).  Listen in for what is IMHO
one of the best programs on shortwave radio.  If you like
it, let Radio Canada know you appreciate their efforts.

UTC stands for Universal Time Coordinated (I think). I know the first
two words are correct. It's the same as GMT, but the modern
counterpart. Also the same as Zulu time, which any HF RTO or VHF type
person in the army (military as a whole?) can tell you about.

No, this isn't Gayle, nor is it Larry.  it is their son Loyd.  The one
who used to DX regularly beofre work dragged him away from the rcvrs.

So please exscuse if this posting will be determined old news after I
post it.  I have been away from the hobby since sometime this summer.

Author's Note - If you are a member of the NRC, you probably saw my
frustration in some of my musings, "Still no NJ!!".  After long last, I
was able to log this elusive state with no trouble whatsoever.  Loudest
station on the dials this night in fact!  There will be a private party
to celebrate this accomplishment later this evening!-hi


1660  WJDM-Elizabethtown, NJ - Heard them last night with Radio Oz (Aahs)
programming.  Only ID's I could hear were at the top of the hour.  Call
to radio station today says they'll be here the next 10 years!!  So I
guess there's no hurry to QSL em'-hi.

What happened to my 1630 Caribbean Station???  I come back to the dials
and they are gone!!!???

Well, back to the dials.  Snow and ice knocked down MY longwire, so I
have to go use the darn Drake R-8 with the KIWA.  (Awwwwww heck :-)

Later folks!

Do you mean the way it kind of "pauses" momentarily after it's locked onto
a station? I noticed it does that, regardless of band. Are you using the
external antenna?

Mine is about the same age...I noticed the batteries that came with it
went fast...have you tried changing yours or are you running on AC?

What you heard was WJDM with "Radio Aahs", a networked children's
programme. Congratulations on KTRK which I also heard here in England
(IDing as A.R.M.Y).

I recently read an article in my local (New Jersey) newspaper on WJDM
launching 24 hour children's programming.  The Radio Aahs shows are
produced by Minneapolis-based Children's Broadcasting Corporation, which
explains the Minnesota address.

By the way, the article points out that the station has been heard in
Finland, England, Switzerland,and India.

I posted a short message a week or so ago about 17625 heard here in
Long Island NY.  The frequency is occupied with a very strong dead
carrier, and has no SSB/Utility component.

Since then, I've heard from someone else here on Long Island... they
believe the transmission source is somewhere due North of here.
I've also heard from Cleveland that this signal is present and
strong.

It would be neat to know the range of this transmission...Anybody
out there hear this signal?

Of course, if someone knows the source and purpose of the
transmission, please post.
Looks like the signal is present 24 hours... but I can't attest to
that.

Thanks...73's

If you can also cc: me on this I'd be grateful. My Sony 2010 has
had power supply problems - it may or may not be the adapter. At
any rate, I have to physically hold the end of the adapter against
the female contact plug rather forcefully to get any power, and
of course that's tiresome. I bought some D cell batteries for it
as well, but for some reason I am having trouble making contact
with them as well.

Can someone please advise the date and time that KTRK intends to
shut down its operation. I'm going to have to travel 100 miles
to get to my R8 and aerial and I'll be pretty annoyed if I
get there only to find out that they've gone off the air.

If they do stay on the air for another 24hours I should be able to nail
them. I've heard WJDM two weeks in a row from here in New Zealand.

Cheers,

Recently I heard that C-Span was transmitting the BBC and several other
shortwave broadcasters on secondary audio channels. Are these audio
channels available by plugging the cable into some sort of audio equipment?
Or does the local cable company have to subscribe to this specifically in
order to get it.

I'll tell you my experience in Fairfax County, Virginia: I wrote my
cable company asking them to add this service.  In about a month,
they said they would (maybe they were already planning it, but I like
to think I can take credit for this myself!).  Because of the
equipment they needed to order, however, it took 7 or 8 more months
for the service to actually come on line.

For this to work, your cable company must downlink the audio (which
is on a separate channel from C-SPAN video), and feed that audio into
an SAP modulator. The modulator adds SAP (and turns on the stereo
light) for C-SPAN video on the cable system. You may need to have a
cable descrambler box that handles SAP (my old one didn't). And
finally you have to have an SAP-equipped TV or VCR.

C-SPAN offers two audio services: #1 is similar to the World Radio
Network (and relays many of their programs). #2 is BBC World Service.
You can contact C-SPAN Audio Networks at [e-mail]. There is
no charge to the cable company, but they are only allowed to offer
the audio to their customers as SAP on the C-SPAN channels.

Good luck!

In Columbus, Ohio, one of the large cable companies offers the BBC
feed part of the time and NONE of the second channel of audio.   The
second largest company stated they had never heard of that audio
service on CSPAN and, regardless, they had no interest in carrying it
for their customers.

Sergio,

     Your local cable TV company should be able to tell you if CSPAN
audio is available in your area.  You will probably need some sort of a
set top box to convert the signal to be able to be used by your receiver.

This is a good idea in theory, but life is never that simple. Imagine,
if you will, someone in Europe asking for the schedule of, say, Radio
Netherlands  in English. They use both mediumwave and shortwave. So
what do you do? Do you post just the SW freqs here and tell the person
to check another newsgroup for the rest of the schedule? Do you post
the entire schedule, only to have someone post a follow-up message
saying that MW is "off topic" ? Or do you post the complete schedule
in both newsgroups, thus doubling the bandwidth and risking being "off
topic" twice? Indeed, there is not even a worldwide concensus on what
consitutes 'MW'. Some people say it ends at 1700kHz, others (because
of propagation characteristics) at 2MHz.

I am much more concerned about the percentage of postings in this
newsgroup which discuss topics far removed from radio.. and I think it
is these messages that ought to be 'banished", not legitimate MW ones
which are bound to be of interest to at least some of the
participants.


Purely from a selfsh point of view,.

I like the idea of a MWDX newsgroup.  If I want the shortwave stuff,
I can still subscribe to the shortwave group, but it would give those
who do not want one or the other to weed out a lot.  It seems to me
that there are plenty of MW DXers to warrant such a group.

I vote yes for the new group.

If there are, how many mailing lists do they run, and what numbers of
subscribers/posts do they have?

You're premature. There isn't even an RFD (Request For Discussion) yet,
much less a CFV (Call For Votes). If there is genuine interest, people
will have to make a proposal, and post it to the moderator of
news.announce.newgroups. Discussion then takes place in news.groups about
the suitability of the name, etc, and all of usenet gets to vote for or
against the group before it is created.

It's probably not a bad idea, but those who want a newsgroup should try a
mailing list first to demonstrate interest.

How about  (for unmoderated discussion of broadcast radio issues) alt.radio.br

I vote yes.  MW has enough differences from SW that they need a MW only
newsgroup.  I vote Yes, and I am a SW DXer only, but I value the things
that MW DXing offers, and I can tell you that it is as difficult, if not
more difficult, than SWDXing.

I vote Yes to a new newsgroup for MW DXing.

My vote is NO. I like DXing both MW and SW and I like having all the posts
on one newsgroup. If we want to decrease the signal to noise ratio, we
ought to get rid of the bozos who post the political and ultra-right wing
rants and the folks who persist in carrying out arguments with each other
on this newsgroup instead of taking it to e-mail.

Aloha, y'all...

I am looking for a reasonably priced Drake SW8.  Does anyone out
there have one for sale?

I am interested also in finding out the best prices for new SW8s
as well.

Does anyone know what kind of internal AM antenna the SW8 has?
Is it a ferrite loop?  I need to know if I can use my inductive
loop with it.  Also, how do you like it?  (I have a Drake R8 and
enjoy it immensely).

Thanks in advance....

What antenna are you using?  If it is the telescoping one supplied with the
radio you are not going to get any thing.  Try a long wire or for $29.95 radio

shack sells an anntenna amplifier that works well.  Good luck.  I own a dx390
from the shack and I get great reception using the eaves antenna that they
sell.

I also made sure that whatever SW receiver I picked up would support full
coverage.  Asking my friend Eric (KA6IHT) at Ham Radio Outlet, he
recommended the ICF-2010 from Sony.  I purchased it, and have had excellent
results picking up SW broadcast, ham, etc. signals.  Although an admitted
neophyte to shortwave listening, I think I picked a good receiver here.  (I
o wish it were smaller, though! ;-)

Hi,
This is a little kid from India who just has gotten his e-mail
connectivity. Frankly this note is for those who can decipher what
DX-ing means. No, do not try to look for the meaning of it in the
webster. It won't help you much. I am a crazy DX enthusiast and
used to run a club of my own. I think there must be some cool guys
(girls are lukewarmly welcome) who will be interested to know what
is happening here in the Asia and Pacific area DX wise. I have a
big logbook to share with you guys and in return I also would like
receive your findings about what are happening in the other parts
of the world. So send me your e-mail addresses. My name and address
are given below:

Krishnendu Majumder
[e-mail]

For the mean while happy DX-ing. See you guys.

The NSSL (National Severe Storms Lab) VORTEX freqs are:

Ch. 1: 163.100(simplex)
Ch. 2: 163.100(in)- 165.435(out) NOAA P-3 airborne repeater
Ch. 3: 163.275(simplex)
122.925  P-3 and Electra flight deck crews air-air

Beyond line-of-sight range, communications will be by air-to-ground
telephone.

Ground teams ID as PROBE1, PROBE2, etc.

No inter-team communication is allowed on the Channel 1 and 2 VORTEX
frequencies. Certain teams will be given permission to use VORTEX
Channel 3 for mission-related communications. If other inter-team
communications are required, use other means (e.g. CB radios).

The tone of his messages was enthusiastic at first, then suggested that the

all this can do is limit the amount of commerce due to lack of trust and good

It's doubtful that an external antenna would help.  However, the
SuperRadio III has a very good internal ferrite loop antenna. (This
antenna has a lot to do with why this radio is "Super".) A loop antenna is
directional; it has two points, theoretically 180 degrees apart, where it
doesn't pick up any signal. Rotate the SuperRadio III until the station at
1480 is weakest.  You'll probably now be able to hear the station  on
1490, unless it is at the same compass bearing as the one on 1480.

I live in Los Angeles    and I bought a Yb305 because I heard that it was
a sensitive radio, which it is. My problem is that is none of the
stations come in without a lot of static and/or fading. This happens even
on BBC and other Big stations. I was wondering if the Grundig YB 400 will
produce clearer and better results.
Thank you,

Funny you should mention this. Check out the picture of the HAARP
antenna array at http://www.artbell.com/
and then decide whether what you see qualifies as a 'tremendous' size
array. (hint: the array of dipoles disappears into the horizon).

Jim:

I logged WFLA, Tampa, FL on 7/3/93 and got a response from Wilson
Welch, Chief Engineer.

They broadcast on 970 kc and simulcast on 25.87 MHz to send cues to
their two traffic airplanes and Metro Traffic. The 25 MHz
transmission is only 100 watts in narrow band FM.

They've received reception reports from western states, northern
states, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Holland, Sweden, Finland,
Germany, Spain, Italy and the northern coast of S. America.

The address on their QSL card is: 801 Jackson St., Tampa, FL  33602.

I have no idea whether they still operate. I heard them in
southeastern New York State; where are you?

This probably isn't the place for this to be, but I know there's a lot
of DX'ers of all flavors here, so I would appreciate some directions
to appropriate newsgroups or web sites.

Basically, I'm looking to build a single-purpose antenna to maximize
reception of channel 34. It will probably have to stay indoors (no
roof climbing), and if there is a recommendation of a commercial
antenna I'd like those too.

Thanks

Strange in that something similar happened to me while doing some equipment
movement. While holding the PL-259 from an external antenna and passing my
palm over the surface of my R-5000 radio my palm tingled.  Measurement gave
a small AC reading???!!! I do live near a hydor pole so wondering if
proximity or external antenna and hydro pole may have to do with it. All
items are grounded.

I have been reading these adverts for a long time now. I'm wondering if
vendors are having trouble offloading these R71As because of their rather

KIWI, New Zealand's only active pirate, is planning to broadcast a
special DX program this weekend with approximately 350 watts.  They have
been heard worldwide in the past and last year alone sent out nearly 3000
QSL cards.  The station is in its 18th year on the air, but operator
Graham Barclay believes KIWI is in its peak.  So this is your chance to
add a new one to your logbook!

Date:  Either Saturday (10 February) or Sunday (11 February) - Most
        likely Sunday.
Time:  0800-1100 UTC.  North America and Europe should listen around 08-09.
Frequency:  7460 kHz USB.

Address:  P.O.Box 3103,  Napier, Onekawa;  New Zealand

Best of luck!

Anyone else notice that Mr Klingenfuss hasn't had the stones to reply to
any of the posts about his unwarranted trashing of WRTH? My guess is that
his claim to participate in this newsgroup is pure BS and that he used it
merely to advertise (rather poorly) his services.

Come on, Mr Klingenfuss, be a man! Let's hear your defense of the posts to
your original message (if indeed you DO participate here as you claim).

KTRK (now A.R.M.Y.) was heard here in Boulder, Colorado last night with fair
signal from 0100 to 0145 UTC (when I stopped listening). After 0500 UTC (their
test period), I could detect some kind of tone or carrier.

I'm using a DX-390 and a SR-III. I couldn't hear them on my stereo, though, an
d
my car radio only goes to 1620.

MD makes state #32 for me. (No sign of WJDM here.)

Seems like the call sign for 1670 is on the move once again, this evening
while driving the car to a night class I heard them ID as ABS.

1660 also coming in really strong.

I've heard Atlantic 252(kHz)from Ireland.Its a top-40 type station.I've
actually heard it numerous times over the last year and a half from my
location near Toronto,Ontario.Its poor quality,but I can pick out the
songs they are playing if I know the song.I was even able to make out
the details in one of their news reports.
   I suppose the trick is equipment,and when to listen.I use a NRD-535D
and a RF-systems longwire with magnetic balun,for an antenna.I should
also emphasize a reasonably quiet(electrically speaking)location.
   The ultimate time to listen is around the winter solstice. you will
usually hear it at a location in North America,as the sun is about to
rise in Ireland.
                Hope this helps(oh there's airport beacons on LW in NA)

Aloha...

I'm not so sure my first attempt got out, so here it is again.
Apologies if you recieved this twice.

I am looking for a reliable, reasonably priced SW8.  Anyone have
one they would like to sell?

Also, what is the best going new price for the SW8?

Third, what kind of internal antenna does it have for the AM band?
Is it a ferrite loop?  I have an inductive loop and wondered if I
would be able to use it on an SW8.

Also, if any SW8 owners have comments good or bad, I'd be interested
to hear them.  Thanks in advance.

Aloha,

     Hope that the following will be helpful.
From "QST" magazine, January 1996:
"Morse Code: The Essential Language" by Peter Carron, W3DKV, covers
both the code's fascinating history and its up-to-date applications.
Finally, there is a look into the future and super CW.

more than likely, for anyone reading this if you hear a signal that is CW,
or a simple voice of a letter then it is a NOAA or FAA idenifier.

Chack with your local NOAA office for their HF beacon freq or FAA beacon.

Looking hard for something else, I found a Sony TFM-825 am-fm transistor
radio made in the 60s in the attic.

I felt it should be noted that it worked after 25 years' abandonment
when flipped on.

Battery is a Burgess 2u6 `ACTIVATOR for TRANSISTOR CIRCUITS'

I suppose I should remove the battery.

How do I go about Qsling a station in Peru when I do not speak Spanish?

I can't give details other than TIME and DATE. I've had one report
sent back saying in spanish that Translated said I must give some
program details.

Can any one help?

As far back as 1978 I used the technique of sending a report in their
language with the specifics of date, time, etc. and including a recording
of the broadcast. That far back even smaller stations had the capability
of playing a cassette tape. These have been generally fruitful in
receiving QSLs and/or verification letters. My personal favorite was a
verie letter from the People's Republic of the Congo in Brazzaville
resulting from a report I did in French with a tape of the broadcast.

Things to remember: (a) don't use disgustingly expensive tapes - you will
not get them back (you might, but I would be shocked!) (b) include
reasonable postage (mint stamps, green stamps, IRCs, etc) (c) if
possible, check the WRTH. In many cases they list whether recordings will
be accepted or not.

A semi-practical alternative is to seek out someone who speaks the
language (in your case that couldn't be too difficult) and have them
translate your report.

A last alternative is cheaper now than in the past. Get one of those
programs like Spanish Assistant. It isn't the absolute greatest, but it
probably "speaks" the language better than you. You just type your
message in English and it translates it to Spanish. (Other languages are
also available.) It may not pass a high-school Spanish exam, but I'd bet
good money it'll get your point across!

Good luck.

Hello Fellow SWLs,
        The former chief engineer for Radio Belize spent three days with
me here in the USA a couple of weeks ago. We discussed the possiblity of
opening a SW station in Belize on 3MHz to broadcast news about Belize
to Belizeans in the USA. The problem is funding. Any suggestions?

Here on in the eastern U.S., Radio Denmark's English program came in
clearly on 6020 kHz at 2230 UTC. (Actually, there was some intererference
from 6195, but edging up a few notches to 6203 gave me very good
reception.) I also enjoyed the program -- they pack a lot into a short
time period.

For those who haven't tuned it yet, R. Denmark ID's in Danish and English
at the bottom of the hour and broadcasts an English *teaser* at xx:31, but
English language transmission deosn't begin until about 8 minutes into the
program. They're only on in English the first Sunday of the month --
definitely worth a listen.

Two reasons for this: firstly, the SA government no longer considers
itt necessary to broadcast to Europe. Secondly, there's the
consideration of money (as ever).

Hi,
they're called Channel Africa now. There is no broadcasting specifically
targeted to Europe. However the transmission at 1600 UTC on
15240 kHz beamed to West Africa is audible quite well.

It's the "skip zone" phenomenon: with low solar activity, there's not
enough ionization density in the ionosphere to refract the signals back to
Earth near the transmitter ("near" may mean 1000 miles away). It's more of
a problem at night than during the day.

This is why some temperate zone broadcasters have recently invaded the
tropical bands: there's more refraction at lower frequencies. When solar
activity picks up in a couple of years, things will be better.

The SW10 is a good little radio, runs a long time on 2 AAs, and has good
sensitivity. It has FM stereo through headphones and fits nicely in the
inside jacket pocket. Drawbacks are analog tuning, single conversion, no
SSB, no clock, no timer, no case, adapter an extra $20., etc. At $50. is a
reasonable value.

You should stay away from Smile and Bi-Rite; these merchants do NOT honor
their mail-order prices when you walk into the store.  In my opinion, these
are not first tier merchants.  I would recommend instead J&R (located
in lower Manhattan) and/or B+H Photo.  Both are completely reliable.

Hi Dave, just a few observations.  I too agonized over the purchase
of a receiver, I actually had a Sony IC7600D (?) the latest, on
order.  I ended up getting a used IC2010.  Good move.  While it is
bigger (same size as Radio Shack 390/392, it has the tuning dial (I
grew up on tube radios, dammit, a shortwave radio SHOULD have a
dial!, covers aircraft and LW, and seems to be quality all around.
It has the syncronous detection, but, don't think it is THAT big of a
feature.  Wide is very wide, narrow is about right for me.

As for fading, that's an atmospheric thing, don't think the radio
will help you too much there, I suppose if it is more sensitive you
might do better at the low end of the fade.

As for single sideband, the 2010 has 100 hz (.1khz) tuning, so,
there's no need for fine tuning, and selectable usb/lsb-cw.  That
sold me on the radio, as I am an inactive ham and like to listen to
the bands.  No squelch for CB, but, background noise not too bad.

Good luck in finding your dream radio...................Joe

Folks:

I've been batting around in my head the idea of designing a receiver control,
logging and schedule database program for the SWL hobbyist and DXer.  I'm a
Windows programmer, so the application would be written for MS Windows95, as a

32 bit application.

I've got a good idea of what *I* want in the program and how I want to
organize the database, but I'd like some input from y'all, particularly...

1.  What features do you absolutely require in a SWL logging application ?
2   What features are nice to have ?
3.  What features are useless to you ?
4.  What features are a nuisance ?
5.  Commentary on particular features (ones that would be tougher for me to
implement than most):
  a.  Receiver control -- how important is a lifelike U.I. (one that looks
like a real radio on your monitor) ?
  b.  Daylight/darkness maps -- useful ?
  c.  Propagation graphs / maps -- useful ?
  d.  QSL-letter writer -- useful ?

As of right now, I'm probably going to write this in C++, (with a slight
possibility of Visual Basic) so I'd not expect something in the immediate
future :-) !  I'm also not planning on charging much, if anything, for the
application, as I'm doing it as a learning exercise in relational database
design and implementation, as well as for fun, and to give something back to
the hobby.

Regards

I don't have the information right in front of me, but check through the
last two or three months of Monitoring Times magazine. An FCC database is
available via ftp. Be forewarned, however - the database is in a .gz
format (which is not that big a deal) and uncompressed is a whopping 17
megabytes of data. Additionally, the database (and its reader, which is a
separate file) are Windoze oriented, not DOS. The information presented
is fascinating in that you can see gobs of info relating to the stations
including their antenna patterns (actual graphs).

I also remember seeing a post here for a web site where you can search by
call, city, state, etc. supposedly directly from an FCC database, but it
was quite quirky when I tried it.

If you don't mind spending about $25 a year, the National Radio Club puts
out the AM Radio Log each year that goes even further than what the FCC
database has available (afiliated networks, station addresses,
programming formats, etc) and is, according to an NRC source, much more
accurate than the FCC's database!

I guess it depends what part of the country you are in.  If you are near
the coast try to find a VHF marine radio.  You need a lic. to transmit
but you can still use the rec.  I have seen them in the San Francisco
area at garage sales for $5.

There are time servers on the Internet. I don't know just how accurate
they are especially given that you cannot be certain of your path. You
can download Windows and MAC "Tardis" programs which automatically
adjust your computer clock by connecting to such a server. (e.g.
http://www.tucows.com for Windows programs)

Long wire (no less than 50 feet long) is your best bet. You need to use a rand

<the original message (quite long) snipped!>

I experienced the same problems related in the original post. I sold my
Sony 2010 only because I thought it was a trifle too large. I wanted
something casual but capable.

After looking at several radios and their capability, coverage, etc., I
settled on the Sony 7600G - and love it!

It has selectable sideband sync detect, FM stereo, it scans ANY range of
frequencies (although it probably isn't any more capable of finding
exactly the stations you want!) and even works quite well as an AM dxing
radio. It receives SSB quite well (there is a fine-tuning knob for use
with SSB/CW) and even does a moderately good job on CW (although it does
much better on CW when the output is run through a DSP device).

On the "short" side, the speaker leaves something to be desired -
headphones improve this immensely. It doesn't have a great range of power
on output - again, headphones improve this considerably. The telescoping
antenna only works reasonably well (it does have a 1/8" mini jack input
for an external antenna).

When I first bought the radio, it seemed to "eat up" batteries, but since
that time I've been using rechargeable nicads and they seem to have been
faring quite well. If you don't purchase the Sony adapter, finding a plug
that fits is an adventure!

It does not out perform a Drake R8 (for that matter it doesn't out
perform almost any reasonable communication receiver!) but it's rather
small, very portable as a result, relatively inexpensive, and it's
sensitivity/selectivity are second to none in its price class.

I don't have any thing to do with the Sony people, I just like this
little radio!

I hate to burst your bubble, but I did a little research on this using the
FCC database. My guess is that WLMR on 1450 shares a tower with WNOO 1260.
It's time the CE of those stations checked his traps.

(1450 * 2) - 880 = 1640kHz. So there is a product of WLMR & WNOO sitting on
1640kHz. Is the audio fully modulating? Can you hear WLMR's audio underneath
WNOO's?

Now that the AM band is expanding, these products will be found more regularly
as more people will be listening for them!. Honolulu (as at November last year
)
had the same problem with KULA 1460, KISA 1540 & KCCN 1420 sharing a tower.
Listening from Honolulu Airport, I could hear products on 1620 (KULA/KISA) &
1660 (KCCN/KISA).

Let's everyone tune between 1600 & 1700 and see who can hear other products?
Report back to rec.radio.shortwave.

Well, it's nice to be able to pinpoint U.S. radio stations engineering problem
s
remotely from New Zealand. Any job offers gratefully received!

I posted a short message a week or so ago about 17625 heard here in
Long Island NY.  The frequency is occupied with a very strong dead
carrier, and has no SSB/Utility component.

Since then, I've heard from someone else here on Long Island... they
believe the transmission source is somewhere due North of here.
I've also heard from Cleveland that this signal is present and
strong.

It would be neat to know the range of this transmission...Anybody
out there hear this signal?

Of course, if someone knows the source and purpose of the
transmission, please post.
Looks like the signal is present 24 hours... but I can't attest to
that.

Thanks...73's

My '2010 gave me power problems several years ago.  Any medium bump to the
cabinet would interrupt operation and high volume made the audio howl.
Traced the problem to the spring clips that connect the battery holder
terminals to the main PWB.  These are small point contacts that press on a
solder pad on the board.  Time and pressure compress the solder and
corrosion eventually made the joint fail.  Simply re-wet the solder pad
with fresh solder and build the fillet up a little.  Better yet, bypass the
pressure dependant spring clips and solder jumper wires in place.  Hole
this helps.

Yes I have found lot's of strong Vancouver stations on the
expanded stations such as 980 on 1670 etc,I have a cheap DX390 so
this could be the radio and I am only 40 miles east from downtown
Vancouver (Langley,BC) in the country,clear of power lines.I have
found other stations also on the new freqs as well so what's up?

Hi Bob. My favorite publication on this subject is aimed at both Radio
Listeners and Amateur Radio Operators. Very practical and covers HF
Antennas including the broadcast band, shortwave bands and VHF/UHF
construction projects. These antennas are very *simple* and *inexpensive*
to build.

"EASY-UP ANTENNAS FOR RADIO LISTENERS AND HAMS" BY EDWARD M. NOLL,
HOWARD W. SAMS AND COMPANY, ISBN 0-672-22495-X.

I have built several of these and they work very well.

Good Luck and DX

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the square root
of the sum of the squares of the other two sides, therefore:

h = SQRT((16 ^2) + (6.75 ^2))
h = 17.366 ft.

this antenna would be resonant at approximately 13.5 MHz, which IMO, isn't
very useful at this point in the sunspot cycle, as the maximum usable
frequency some nights is down around 6 MHz, necessitating a longer antenna in
order to achieve resonance, and therefore best reception.

I can't answer the question because you've not given enough information.  In
particular, I would need to know:

1.  How are you planning on feeding the dipole or longwire ?  Coax ?
Twin-lead ?

2.  Can you provide an adequate low-impedance ground for a longwire?

3.  Do you have, or can you buy an antenna tuning unit, as would be necessary
for the best use of a longwire antenna ?

4.  Do you live in a high-noise environment ?

If you're not in a high RFI noise environment, then the longwire with a tuner
would probably be a better option with the space you have to work with.  If
you are in a high noise environment, then steer clear of the longwire and go
with the dipole.

Friend,

A fully functional standalone Broadcasting Radio Station Database for IBM
and compatibles with more than 4,000 Radio Station records already.  This
program covers stations on Longwave, Mediumwave, and Shortwave.  Each
record contains the Station name, Frequencies, Schedule, Languages,
Country, and Continent.  The program sorts in same order.

What's needed to get it?  Your EMail address and your Postal Mailing
address for registration and future information via Post of other Radio
Related Database programs.  This information will be kept confidential.

If you can read a document written in MS Word(extension is DOC), request
the operating instructions for the Radio Station Database Program called
Voyageur.  You'll get an idea from reading this document of the Voyageur
Database and what it does.

Incidently, the program offered with this notice is valid until June 6,
1996.

Hope to hear from you..

Chuck

Kill files also make for a less cluttered screen, something highly desired
by some people that don't want to wade through a sea of headers.

Thankyou big brother. You have successfully burned another fellow human
being to be submissave to your own thoughts. Now we have all these
black pages on the internet and I can't look at nick's nude of the
week,, because of geeks and rats who tell on ppl for everything others
do. I understand you wanting to do good in world gone bad,,but the
cable companys aren't exactly playing fair either. Please, before the
world bursts and goes to hell because of ppl talking about cable
descramblers, make a difference at home,,in your family. This is the
last I will say about this cause it really doesn't belong here anyway.

How about an alt.jay-marvin group so we can take those discussions about
him out of rec.radio.shortwave? :-)

There are several alt.radio.* groups already, and they don't get much
traffic or respect.  I think it would lend legitimacy and preserve
continuity with the rest of the radio hobby groups if we had a
REC.radio.dx.

Oops... sorry for the double post, but I forgot to add this comment to my
last reply...

I don't like the idea of rec.radio.broadcasting for discussion of
broadcasting issues because there is absolutely no reason on earth why
such discussions need to be moderated.  It imposes an unnecessary delay
to the distribution of messages, and besides, out of all the topics
discussed in USENET news groups, why does broadcasting policy/industry
development need to subjected to editorial review?

It sure would make life easier in picking and choosing.  If the article
has a header, it's also a hint that the author is trying to abide by r.r.s
netiquette.  Are you volunteering to be the keeper of the header list?

I think what we need is a broad-based group covering mediumwave,
longwave, fm, tv, and utility DX.  Sort-of like an unmoderated version of
rec.radio.broadcasting, but catering to the same type of crowd that
inhabits rec.radio.shortwave.

A MW-DX-only group would be too restrictive, and separate groups for MW, LW,
FM, and TV would be overkill.  I see a real need for a group where we can
discuss things like LW beacons, MW DX-tests, sporadic-E and tropo-DX,
broadcasting policy, legal issues, etc.

There is a Pirate radio sation in Berkeley, Ca. Last year the FCC tried
to shut them down and fine them $20,000.00. Well it went to court
and the FCC lost. In todays The Argus newspaper in Fremont, Ca. the
FCC is going to take them back to court to shut them down. In the
meantime new stations are poping up in Richmond and Oakland. This
was the 1st time the FCC has lost. The Berkeley station can be heard
on 104.1 FM 24 hours a day.

I do quite a bit of stormchasing in the spring (or whenever
conditions are right, which is quite often in North Texas).
Mostly, chasers use 146.52 simplex when closing in on a storm.
The Project Vortex folks use frequencies assigned to the NWS.  In
fact, they have a repeater mounted in their P3 turboprop.
Listening to the output is really interesting.  I don't have the
output freq. right now, but it's in the 162-165 MHz range.
SKYWARN nets, however, will be the easiest to listen to.  Most HF
work is out, since static crashes in and around thunderstorms
render the HF spectrum largely useless.

I'm looking for an R8-a, and wonder if you'd answer a few questions.
Where are you located? I'd prefer to view if you're close enough.
Who did you purchase from? What options are included? Are there any

Of course, the problem is that the web is, if anything, getting more
graphical, what with Java and VRML and all that stuff. The San Francisco
Public Library has DEC VT-something terminals in their branches and you
can use them to browse the web using the text-only Lynx browser. It's OK
for some sites and it's very good especially since their connection is
at least ISDN if not faster. (although if you connect with some sites
you find out that the speed problem ain't the 14.4 modem you have at
home but their site and the connections in between) But there are some
sites for which it is not good at all. Maybe web page designers are
going to have to be more sensitive and provide alternatives for those
who, for whatever reason, cannot handle their fancy graphical pages.

But the SRIII has better audio quality than the DX-440, and being an analog
receiver the 'III will not introduce as much digital noise into the audio as
the '440... at lower listening levels, this noise has a tendency to be obtru-
sive (though you can reduce it a bit by locking the keypad).

I would then go into the debate as to whether a digital readout is even
necessary for the BCB, but that's probably a digression...

The DX-440 *is* an outstanding LW-MW receiver, though, with some passive
tuning ahead of it.  Even on the internal loopstick alone it does a respec-
table job.

C.K. (who owns both of these receivers)

This is one hell of a radio!  Right out of the box, very impressive.
Audio can not be described.  AM never sounded this GOOD!!!

Just listening to 1660 in Elizabeth, NJ without any interference is a
pleasure.  Amazingly, the WIDE and NORMAL selectivity switch actually
WORKS!!!

Highly recommended.

You make good points but leave out some important details:

Who manufactures the DX-440?

How much does it cost?

I've heard a lot of great things about the GE SR III.  However, let me
remind those of you out there (before you go hog wild to buy one of these
radios for performance) you just may have something in your possession
just as good if not better.

For instance, with my DX-440 plus a Select-A-Tenna I have performance
BETTER than the GE SR III (according to C. Crane's own catalog) AND I've
got Digital Tuning.  Sure, It costs a little more than the $40-$50 that
the GE SR III goes for.  But, If you already have a great Digital Radio
with good MW performance, all you need do is add the Select-A-Tenna and
have GREAT MW Performance!

I also believe that a SW listener can NEVER have too many radios.  I'd buy
a SR III, I'm content right now with my current set-up.  But, it would be
nice to play with.

Grundig YB 400...or one of several Sony models (all of which cost about
$150-200).  Look for:   continuous coverage, digital display, an AC power

The Grove BBS is no more. We have had major problems with the BBS for
quite some time now and it was brought down for the last time, last
month. What you are reaching now is the Internet dialup lines for the
Grove staff. Unless you have an account with GroveLink, you won't see
much on the screen. We are looking into ways to interface the files
and old newsgroups on the bbs into the internet via telnet, but that
might be some time off. If anyone has any additional comments on this
please don't kill the messenger, forward them to our computer services
manager Bill grove at [e-mail] or the business manager Kelly
Davis at [e-mail].

Mike,

   There is an aircraft detection radar on the site which operates in the C-ba
nd and
has a transmitter power of about 50 kW. This is a standard maritime radar that
 large
ocean going ships use. We have also looked at a smaller X-band radar for added

assurance that the facility can be shut down if an aircraft is approaching. Do
es this
answer your question?

David,
   Any photographs of the HAARP antenna array will show a system that is about
 500 feet by 700 feet. At the highest frequency (10 MH=
z), this array is about 5 wavelengths by about 7 wavelengths in dimension. A s
ingle rhombic antenna would occupy a similar or even l=
arger space on the ground and rhombics are in common use, even by hams.
  My original reply addressed hypothetically building an ELF array. In order t
o build an array that could operate in the ELF range, =
the array would have to have a dimension something like 2600 miles on a side,
just to be one wavelength long on a side. That would t=
ruly be a tremendous array.

Stegner sounds like the average grade idiot that eventually gets a small
political
following and then creates more rules and taxes.  He is a basic example of
why
I have no intention of going for my license.....thats right I`m a pirate.
However I
am not one of the don`t care about my neighbors either. I never go on with
more than 200 watts, stay in 41 & 43 meters, select transmit sites well
away from major
 urban areas and FAA control points. My shows and those that I air for
others do
sometimes have content that would cause the FCC to pull a license.
Further, there
seem to be others like me scattered all over this planet.  I do not hate
or scorn HAM operators...except the ones that occaisionally try jamming my
broadcast.  I
have never  jammed anyone and have no intention of behavior like that.
Personally,
 the only politicians that will ever do anything good for  the masses are
the ones
that push new technology areas like space or defense( not the best but it
does
work sometimes). Welfare(any social feed the masses) programs at best only

help shorterm and actually intensify the problem longterm. The U.S. space
program
has yielded enormous benefit without a real downside as yet.
Sorry I`ll step down from the soapbox now. My closing point is that humans
are
over taxed by their governments as is. To all the legitimate (licensed)
operators
out there ... my hats off to ya. Hang in there. Mean while I`m going
looking for a new transmit site out in the woods.

Shortwave is not the answer. 99.9% of baseball radio broadcasts are on
local AM radio. If it's a night game broadcast from Boston, you might best
try listening to the AM frequency that normally sends the game. If there
isn't a station with a stronger signal on the same frequency, you might do
fine.

Hi all--

I hope this is the right group to ask--if not, please excuse my intrusion.

I'm a Boston Red Sox fan living in Philadelphia, and with the baseball
season starting soon, I would like to be able to listen to the Sox games
on the radio here.  Is this possible with an inexpensive (preferably under
$150) shortwave radio of some kind?  I asked at Radio Shack but they
didn't have any idea.

Any help would be truly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Radio Television Hong Kong left shortwave some years ago.  The only time
it has been active on SW in recent years is to provide weather and other
information for the participants in the South China Sea Yacht Races, and then
they have used low power.  I have not heard if they plan to be active for
this year's races.  The only reliable shortwave from Hong Kong is from the
BBC relay station, but this carries no local programming, and I believe that
this relay is soon to be phased out because of the transfer of Hong Kong to
the People's Republic of China next year.  Sorry to have to give you bad
news!

Hi,
 What is the best way to couple a MW loop antenna to my SONY SW-7600
(no external antenna jack)
The simplest way is of course placing the receiver inside loop and
let the internal ferrite bar act as a secondary coil of the loop.
The result is so far not very convincing.
 I thought about winding a second coil on the internal ferrite bar and
connecting it with the secondary coil of the loop. How many turns should
the coil on the ferrite bar have? What about connecting one end
of the secondary coil to the receivers ground?
Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

It works fine for me.  It makes background noise very audible, so
nothing can do better.  (Anything better would just give more
noise if it gave more signal.)

Just checking what your MW loop is: I assume it's a loop with a
variable capacitor across the ends of it, that you tune for max
signal at each frequency?

I've tried dropping receivers into loops from 18" to 6' sides, and they
all work fine (though the 6' is not better than the 18").

Well first you need to find the freq. for the channel. Then I would go
to your library or a Ham Radio store and buy the ARRL Antenna book.
Most of the antennas are easy to build.

What I did to get channel 54 is......ran down to Radio Shack and bought
a UHF only antenna.  Tell the store people how far you are from the
transmitter sight and he will tell you which antenna to get.

I'd recommend the Icom repair facility; they're expensive though. Why would
I recommend the ICOM repair facilities? Because they would have the exact
repair parts (Icom advertised their voluminous spare parts resources in
ham radio rags), they may apply parts upgrades to your receiver which the non-
Icom
repair facilities won't, they have extensive expertise diagnosing Icom
receiver problems (which may shorten the diagnosis time and thus minimise your
costs) and last, but not least, they have an environmental testing chamber in
which
to temperature cycle your receiver if your receiver problems are temperature
related. I base these statements on the two times my R-70A (purchased in 1983)
 went
to them for repairs...

I've been away from shortwave for a while, but recently became
interested and have the time to spend on it.

I've pulled my 525 out of storage, fired it up and started scanning
the frequencies. But.... I'd sure like to add a serial adapter, but
I don't know if anybody still sells accessories for this radio. The
online catalogues I've looked at seem to have a lot of 535 stuff, but
nothing for the 525.

Any ideas or info will be appreciated.

Universal Radio in Reynoldsburg Ohio traditionally carry older JRC

Yes once the test is over the thing goes to Bosnia, and the frequency
will be 1143. Its a Harris 5 FA. I guess it's really a GATES 5. FA is
Frequency Agile as some models can be ordered that way.

 I am into Latin American DXing on the tropical bands. I would like to QSL
these stations but I am not very good at writing a Spanish reception
report. I have the Latin American Dxing book from Radio Netherlands but I
find it hard to work with some of those phrases and they dont even have
some of the sentances I need for the reception report. Is there anyone out
there who can give me any advice or know of any program that I can use to
write in Spanish. Your help will be greatly appreciated. PSE email me at
the following: [e-mail]
Thanks 73 and good DX.

                                          Geoff :-)

15 years or so ago.  There were low power CW beacons on long wave.
Mostly home brew stuff.  Are they still around?

The main two Japanese shortwave outlets are the quasi-governmental Radio
Japan (http://www.nhk.or.jp) and Radio Tampa, also known as NSB, which
is primarily a domestic broadcaster. (They used to have a very late
night program in English which had some popularity among West Coast of
North America SWL's.) Both stations have some music but are primarily
talk. There are also some domestic NHK outlets that have low-power SW
relays for the boonies. The U.S. military Far Eastern Network used to
put programs on shortwave from Japan, primarily for ships in the
Pacific, but this is now done via satellite.

NSB is on 3925 kHz, 6065 kHz and 9595 kHz with a second network on 3945,
6115 and 9760.

I assume that as in most industrialized countries, the Japanese,
especially the young people, prefer to hear their music on FM.

Unless this is a _vastly_ improved model over the one that a buddy of
mine purchased it is a sad excuse for a paper weight!  Nothing against
Chuck Harder you understand, but as a radio the thing my buddy received
would have made a good cow patty.  It was two or three years ago that my
friend ordered the "radio" and it took him all of a couple of hours of
attempted listening to decide to pack it up and return it.

Keywords: mediumwave dxing great antennas and site

The winter of 95-96 has given us a low sunspot cycle and great
dxing on the lower frequencies specifically the mediumwave band.
I think it would be a good idea to take advantage of such
conditions to do a bit of great broadcast band dxing.

I would like to make a proposal to the group about doing a
broadcast band dx expedition.

I am looking for people living in the New York New Jersey metro
area or in the northeast us who may be interested in doing a bcb dx
expedition to a great location, stringing up super antennas (maybe
beverages), and bringing their best receiving equipment to search
for the dx that they can't find at their home locations.

The idea I have in mind is finding a great location and taking
advantage of the favorable conditions to make our dxing dreams come
true.  I know that this is an extremely preliminary proposal and
lots of planning and work must be done to make this thing come off.
I am throwing this idea to the group to see if the interest exists.
Only after that point can we assess the actual feasibility of doing
this project.

What I envision is finding a location that is perhaps within 150
miles of New York City and setting things up for a dxing weekend.
Lets talk it over here on the net and see if something can be done.
How about it???

        No, it's on the AM service, 690 on Wet Coast, Calgary on 1010
        Regina on 540 and Winnipeg on 990.
        As these three stations are on three different time zones, you
        can, with sufficient channels open, hear all the fractured
        service from WRN via CBC domestic at the same time.

        It seems that Bernie McNamee is going to offer a random

Yea, and then have it submitted to the Smithsonian, or maybe it should be used

in a toy that would finally kill that stupid Energizer Bunny.  Whatever you

You need to get some details some way. That is part of what makes it
difficult. Sometimes I keep coming back to the station and listening until
they play music I recoginize, or have a news broadcast where country names
and hot spots are mentioned.

Then use a copy of "The Language Lab" - The Foreign Language Reporting
Guide, by Gerry L. Dexter. By Tiare Pub. they have Spanish, French,
Portuguese and Indonesian editions. About $12.95 each. Over 50 pages of
phrases and sentences translated from english that apply to DXing.

Address Tiare Publications, PO Box 493, Lake Geneva WI 53147.


I just obtained a QSL from Radio Reloj using this method.


Good Luck

Ciao Sergio,

I don't know if you are going to hear anything interesting on
RAI INTERNATIONAL (Well, I don't want to start a discussion over it)
but if you are in Stutgart and want to listen to the domestic programs, your
best bet is:
   RAI 1 = 900 KHz  (Milano)
   RAI 2 = 1332 KHz (Roma)
   RAI 2 = 846 KHz  (Roma)

The situation is similar here in mid-Michigan. The Sackville relay of Radio
Japan is ususally SIO 343-242 at 5960KHz (0200-0400UTC), SIO 343 at 6110
KHz (0400-0600 UTC).  In the early morning SIO is 242 at 6120KHz (1100-1130
UTC), but the conditions improve gradually as the sunrise approaches and
SIO becomes 554 at 1200-1300 UTC.  For 11705 KHz (1300 - 1500 UTC), I can
hear only on weekends,  SIO is ususally 554.  I am hopful the conditions
improve as the season changes. (I use SONY ICF2002 with an outdoor long
wire antenna).

Sackville's relay of NHK at 2100-2300EST is very weak every couple of
days for a couple of days at a time; listening in central Ohio on 5960.

The earlier RCI broadcasts are usually strong.

Perhaps they shift the antenna pattern maladroitly some days.

NHK can sometimes be heard better on the French Guina relay 11895,
2100-2230EST.

In Canada, Radio Shack is selling the DX-394 for CDN$400 whereas the Sony
ICF-7600G costs CDN$320 at the Sony store. I am debating which one to buy.
Incidently, there is a preliminary review in WRTH 96. It says something like
the DX-394 is reasonable for the price (US$400 as of Nov. 95) but the
conclusion was less than flattering. I wonder if the price has been lower,
the final comment would be much different.

Note that the ICF-7600G offers synchronous detection, but according the WRTH,
the DX-394 lacks AM synchronous feature.

Should one go for the DX-394 or the ICF-7600G ?

You can find pc controlled radios for sale in many radio magizines and
catalogues but be fore warned that you will encounter interference from the
many radio frequencies put out by your pc, moniter, periphiels, ect unless you

have one of those miltary computers that are designed to have tuned RF (Very
Expensive).  The 1995 Passport to World Band Radio has reviews and articles on

these things.

Good Luck,

Bob J

There are minor differences between the DX-440 and the ATS803A.
The ATS has a recording DIN connector on it, the DX440 does not.
Also, my ATS 803 came with a universal power adapter for 120V/240V

Some readers have been telling me they have had problems accessing my
pages.

        http://www.innotts.co.uk/~asperges/

The local server has been having problems, so do please keep trying.

* The pages have an extensive list of links,
* an explanation of aspects of amateur radio,
* new special pages for SWLs (listeners) with broadcast web page
access,*
* an IRC link,
* a tour of local historical site near the QTH,
 * a mock exam,
* and even a history of Robert Burns, the Scots poet.

So it's worth the wait!

All welcome and I will reply to all e-mails sent through the pages.
2100 visitors to date (despite the recent server problems) since
January.

Any reasonably-priced small cassette recorder should do the job. The "record"
output jack of the 2010 is a high-impedance output, so you may get better resu
lts
connecting it to the MIC jack of the recorder, rather than the AUX jack.

Of course, the bbetter the recorder, the better the quality, up to a point, si
nce
the 2010 isn't exactly a "hi-fi" radio . . .

Does anyone know of any tape recording product on the market that connects
to the external jack of the Sony 2010 and produces a high quality

I'm embarrassed to ask such a dumb question, but I can't get the back
off my Sony ICF 7600DS.

My problem is that every now and again it goes quiet, but when I press
down on the case over the speaker it comes back to life.  Loose
connection, I thought, so I tried to take the back off.  I found four
screws, two clearly visible on the back and one in each of the two
battery compartments.  But having removed these screws the back still
won't come off - it is stuck in the bottom right hand corner, when
viewed from the back.

Can anyone help?

TIA.

That is a good deal.  I paid the same for mine from the SONY retail store
during their preferred customer private sale.  They only do that sale
about twice a year.  I have never seen a lower price. great radio too!

to make it plain and simple, if you're looking for small radio

 go for the new sony 7600g.

I sold my 2010 for the new smaller one.

Well obviously reciever CTRL. in addition, maybe a DBASE of all Bcast
bands (due to the fact that there is alot of people who enjoy that..)  The
MAP features are nice, via, track A to B (RE no need for daylight/nightime
shadowing), just a nice map to INPUT A FREQ, say recieve, and end up w/ a
map of point A to B.  (Listener<-->STATION).

No addresses in the FCC AM database, but other info is available:

For the raw FCC database:

There are errors in the FCC data. The databases appear to be updated on

When I looked, Cary Oler was listed as a guest at University of
Lethbridge, Canada.

Since there are many scams which are almost impossible to prosecute
from the U.S. across international boundaries, especially in Canada,
I want to know:

1. What the "Solar Terrestrial Dispatch" is,.
2. Who Cary Oler is.
3. Who teaches the course and what his credentials are.
4. Who sponsers the course and what his credentials are.
5. Is the course accredited in any way.

I bought a Grundig Satellite 700 SW receiver for my grandfather for
Christmas.  Unfortunately, he lives is a gully, and is having trouble
receiving SW broadcasts with the built-in antenna.

Does anyone have any suggestions/experience with some of the rooftop
trapped dipoles on the market?

Thanks,

Jeff:

I just went through what you went through about two weeks ago.

Try tuning 1.9kHz below the listed frequency that you are trying to
receive. For example to receive a fax from NAM Culter, ME on 3357 kHz
tune your radio to 3355.1 USB.

I built the 741 comparator-type interface on a breadboard and have been
having great success receiving the sat images using JVFAX 7.1.

Good Luck!!

Just a quickie,
              could anyone in the UK suggest type of wire and supplier

(Maplin, RS ?) for the wire to use for a longwire aerial.

Also, would attaching such a wire to the whip of my Sony SW100

damage it in any shape or form.s

I'm not sure how far out this is being heard but the saga of the new
expanded AM band continues. Right now (2330 UTC) a Chattanooga, TN AM
station WNOO-AM 1260 is up on 1640 kHz loud and clear. To rule out all
possibilities I have it on four different receivers (Drake R8/Icom
R72/Drake SPR4/Sony 2010. I also checked with my DXing neighbor, Bob
Grove up the hill from me and he also has them rock solid. They are
doing urban contemporary and IDing as AM 1260 WNOO. This is not
suppose to be one of the expanded band stations and I have absolutely
no idea what these folks are doing on 1640. I've ruled out all the
normal stuff (Harmonics, spurs, images, etc) and Chattanooga is about
60 air miles from us so others things that could cause a freak
reception has been ruled out. Nope, I beilieve they are there so AM
DXers, go to 1640 and add another one to the logbooks.

Most of the testing has been done, and WWCR in Nashville now has
tentative plans to put transmitter #4 into regular use Monday Feb-19 at
1800 UTC on 9475.

Listen for special first-day programming.  A special one-time QSL card
will be issued for correct reception reports for this broadcast.

Even tho this is in the works, they are still awaiting FCC permission
to put the thing into full-time use..but do not expect any problems
getting it.

I was able to hear WWCR #4 testing Tuesday Morning around 1700 UTC.

Again Wednesday around 1645 on 7435 both days.

I hope they do not run into problems with 9475, because I heard SSB
radio-telephone traffic in Spanish around 1645 UTC Wednesday.

Harder is still on the air via shortwave.  His new home is WHRI and the
last frequency I heard his broadcast on was 9.475 MHz.  BTW, I wonder if
he has come come from the ceiling after Bucannan won the New Hampshire
primary tonite.  There messages have really merged over the last couple of

I don't think they did much, if any set up of the station, but they
did operate it for a good while on the tuesday, that they were on the air.

I'd suggest you do not limit yourself to one cut for 20 meters.  The
swbc bands run from 11 to 120 meters.   If possible, try to get one
that will run from 11 to at least 60 meters - or, if space is not a
problem - from 11 to 90 meters.  Propagation is so variable that
various bands open at various times.  I really think if you chose to
erect a dipole that you'll be quite satisfied with one that can
receive multiple bands versus just one range as your subject title
indicates.

Besides the options to build your own, there are several commercial
antennas produced that can provide excellent results.

You might consider the book "Antennas selection, installation, and projects."
 From Radio Schack, it has the plans you want along with diagrams and material

lists.  Book only cost $4.00.  I have one and enjoy it.  it even lists
catalogue part numbers for getting materials.  Obviously they print it so you
will buy from them but never the less it is a good book.

I use "Utility Address Handbook" 2nd Edition, by Reinhard Klein-Arendt,

Germany.

It's in English. I got it from one of the SWL catalogs. I don't remember
which one. Plus I'd be surpirsed if there isn't a new edition out. Mine is
copyright  1989!!

I've used it to QSL Portishead Radio, Dakar VOLMET, Sydney VOLMET, amoung

Good luck.

What part of "if" didn't you understand?

But Bob missed that level of math in school, and he may or may NOT
know that. He could just as well be using the word to refer to the
unknown side, or the longest side, of the triangle. We don't know.

>Therefore hypotenuse has no meaning

To you, perhaps, and to me. To Bob, who missed this level of math
in school, other possible intended meanings are given above. Whether
or not Bob intended the meaning you ascribe is unknown, because Bob
said that he missed that level of math in school.

No, it didn't necessarily imply that at all.

There are numerous broadcasters who target North America with Arabic
Services.  Alomg those that quickly come to mind are Radio Kuwait,
Radio Cairo, and United Arab Emirates Radio.

You'll also find that you may hear some of the services directed to
Western Europe (they'll be heard in the afternoon local North
American time) since the beam headings tend to get the signals here
as well.

Date: Sat, 17 Feb 96 20:26:12 DST
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>


BEWARE OF DELAING WITH DERRICK HALL OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON!

On November 17, 1995 I sent him a money order (as he and I agreed) for
a PK232.  He claims to have sent the package but that it was
returned.  I assured him that the address in my letter that
accompanied the money order was correct (a mail center) and to resend
the package.  As you dear reader, have guessed by now, no package.

I have called Mr. Hall on 12/1, 12/11, 12/12, 12/13, 12/17, 12/18,
12/19,12/20/95, 1/2/96, 1/15, 1/22, asking for either PK232 or return
the money!  No money, no PK232.

He sent me this message:

 *** Forwarding note from DERRICK --PB1      01/22/96 16:05 ***
"To: [e-mail]

 Subject: NOTE 01/22/96 16:05:00
 I Got your message, that you call this morning.  I sent your Money
 order in the mail on friday, I think it was after 5:00 when the mail
 stops up here so it should have went out on saturday.  It does not
 matter if you try finding my employer be cause I am the employer so
 if you wanted to say someting you could call me up.  Why do you think
 i be gone so much.  Well anyways your money should be comming with in
 a few days.  And don't call me back!!!!!!!"

I attempted to respond with:

 "Subject: NOTE 01/22/96 16:05:00
 Derrick
 I have called and paged you numerous times with no return call.
 Specifically I called and left messages on 12/11, 12/12, 12/13,
 12/17, 12/18, 12/20, 1/2/96, 1/15, and 1/22.

 I originally mailed you the money order on 11/17/95 so you can see
 why I upset about "no communication" from you, no PK232, and no
 returned funds.

 When the money shows up I will cease to call and bother you.

      NOTE 01/22/96 16:05:00"                                                F

My response to hime was rejected.  The postmaster on his system
responded with:

" Subject: Identify User
 Your email to Derrick Hall is being rejected because he has run out
 of credits. When he purchases time, he will be able to receive email
 again."

I called Mr. Hall again on 2/6 and 2/15, same results, no money, no
PK232.  On 2/15 I offered to mention his business practices on the
net and this note is the result.

If any body in Seattle reads this and employees this man (I think he
is an independent contractor) be sure you are getting good value for
your time and money.  He is not very honest in his dealings on the
Internet.

One way to avoid these types of deals is to have the possesor of the
equipment send it COD.  At least you get a package (no telling what's
in it) and the sender doesn't get any money until the package arrives.


  I have purchased several things this way and, fortunately, have
gotten what I paid for.  There is really no way to judge the character
of individuals who sell through the postal service.

Hi Folks,

has defrauded me - I called him twice this AM and he hung
up on me both times.  I would love to post this to a Seattle

It's been in the church records of the small German town Camberg (now: Bad

The Sunday and Monday morning schedules differ slightly, based on the
weekend programming available from these international public
broadcasters. The weekend schedule is not changing for the moment.

This overnight programming can be heard on the CBC Radio Network across
Canada from 0100 to 0600 with these exceptions:

From 0500 - 0600, British Columbia does an information lead-in to their
morning show and from 0530 - 0600, some locations get an early start to
their morning show.

From 0100 - 0300, CBC North hears the classical music program, That Time
of the Night.

The CBC Stereo Network, which also operates 24 hours daily, offers
mainly entertainment programming overnight, Brave New Waves or Night
Lines.

I have a DX-390; it's fine for use as a broadcast shortwave reciver (its inten
ded
purpose) but for serious SSB reception, it's not very good.  The sensitivity s
eems
to be rather poor, the filters are much wider than optimum for SSB, and it's r
elatively
difficult to tune the SSB signal to sound OK with the BFO dial.  The only way
to use
an external antenna is to clip your antenna lead to the built-in whip, which s
eems
like asking for trouble IMHO.  The external antenna jack on the DX-390 only wo
rks
when receiving MF signals like broadcast AM, not SW. My advice is to get a dif
ferent
radio for your uses.

Funny thing, that antenna jack.  Mine works for shortwave, albeit not as good
as attaching to the whip.  In fact, according to the manual, it's *supposed*
to work for shortwave, and *only* shortwave.  But I've found that mine works
for mediumwave and longwave too, if you don't mind a little overloading (to
the point of unusability on longwave).

I have an RF-B65, and like it a lot. Its BFO is quite stable for a
portable receiver (desirable for SSB/CW, critical for fax and sitor), and
it can be had used for $100 or so (I got mine for $85). It only offers 9
memories per band (LF, MW, FM, SW), and it lacks synchronous AM detection,
but for the money it's a fine receiver. Best of luck.

I think the best relatively cheap receiver is the Lowe HF-150. I sells
for about $500 in Europe. O.K. it's a bit higher in price than the
above. But especially if you want to connect an external antenna, most
of the regular small radios like the ones above quikly get overloaded
by strong broadcast stations (lots of noise everywhere on the band).

Secondly the SSB reception is excellent. Very good sound quality and
stability, the latter being important when receiving and decoding
things like FAX and SITOR.

It's very bare to the bones and doesn't offer features like (alarm)
clock and dial light, but every penny has been spent on performance.
It has though holders for recharcheable batteries. And you can buy
several options too.

Whell, I'm not sure that there are any shutterbugs left in Chicago.  The
last one that I saw was in the Palmer House Hotel which is between State
and Wabash Street's in the loop.  There is a Sony Store on North Michigan
Avenue which may have it at an acceptable price but I doubt that you would
find any bargains.  Your next best bet is Erickson's on North Milwaukee
but it is pretty far away from the Loop (the downtown area).  It's address
follows:

Erickson Communications

For the late breaking news on the Central People's Broadcasting Station

heard surprised me and I think it will surprise you if you have been
listening to them for many years.

Also if you cannot receive Radio Singapore Int'l on 6015 then tune into
the domestic service on 6155.  I am getting a good signal at 1430+.
Reminds me of the good old days of shortwave radio when ABC Perth used to
broadcast the "Rock and Roll Show" with Peter Newman.

Take care,

It is a discontinued model that has been noted here recently to be selling
for 25% of its original price. It is poorly supported and, according to
old reviews, doesn't perform as well as current models costing as much.
Its only value is if you MUST have integrated portable fax reception.

  Hi Sergio,

  Not only does you cable company need to provide the service but you
must have a TV that has SAP(Second Audio Program) My stereo TV has SAP
and when a SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM is being broadcast a light lights up
on the TV and then I can hit the button on the remote to hear
Shortwave on C-Span 1 and C-Span 2, or a movie in SPanish on HBO.

The SW broadcast shedules on C-Span 1 and 2 can be found in the
"Sattelite Times" mag (sister publication to the Monitoring Times):
Well at least that's where I picked up a schedule many months ago.

 Happy Monitoring.

Changovers for 24 hour stations, and signon and signoff for daytimers are
usually made on the nearest 15 minute mark to sunrise or sunset.  Times are
adjusted monthly and when the shift is made to and from Savings Time.  So
there are 14 changes per year, although for 2 months during midsummer and
midwinter most stations have no change.

Assuming the time zone is 1000 miles, stations within 249 miles from the
begining of the time zone switch on the hour, 250 to 499 miles on the :15
mark, 500-749 on the half hour and 750-to the end at :45 mins after.  Any
time zone that is "adjusted" longer or shorter at the latitude to conform
to state borders or other geography is simply divided in quarters to define
the subzones.  Also the station's service area, (DA pattern), is taken into
account and that may "move" the station into an adjacent subzone.

There are also things like pre-dawn and post sunset authorizations.  These
are usually from 1/2 to 1 hour long and may, although not likely, allow the
station to remain at full power.  Usually the power level is dropped and/or
the DA pattern changed.  Daytime stations may sign on/off at the
00/15/30/45 min mark for their area, or if authorized, 1/2 to 1 hour
before, (on), or after, (off), the time mark.  Some stations may have one
authorization and not the other.

The confusion gets worse.  Many former daytime only stations discovered
that their nighttime authorizations were for more power than their post
sunset/pre-dawn authorization(s).  Some have had their nighttime
authorizations extended earlier and/or later to the subzone time mark or
a negotiated time interval after (night) or before (day) it.  In other
words they are in the same situation as many other 24 hour stations, but
then again there are still those few that will disapper from the dial and
come back an hour later.

Finally there are stations that have been on for decades that negotiated a
particular time to change pattern with other stations on the frequency back
in the 1930's, 40's and or 50's.  For example, WQEW in New York negotiated
with a California station on 1560 in the 1940's to switch to nighttime DA
at approximately sundown Pacific Time.  If sundown in California is 8:40
PM, WQEW will switch at the nearest break, (between records usually),
anytime between 11:35 and 11:45 PM.  Switch to daytime DA is 1 hour after
sunrise in NYC.  This agreement is now etched in stone since the FCC has
filled in the holes between the patterns with other stations.

If this was summer you should remember that Arizona stays on Standard time.
In other words, by not shifting they virtually shift from MST to PDT.
KUAT, (if that's there still their call), gets an hour advantage for a
station on that longitude.  At one time they were daytime only, I think
they are 24 hours now but with reduced nightime power.

Mostly, but a station's license can authorize power and direction during
"critical hours" (sunrise to 2 hours after sunrise, and sunset to 2 hours
after sunset), or similar categories called PSRA (pre-sunrise authority)
and PSSA (post-sunset authority. Much of this has to do with whether a
dominant station on the same frequency is east or west of the station in
question. For more complete info, check out the National Radio Club's _AM
Radio Log_. The NRC can be reached at [e-mail].

For U.S. & Canadian stations, the daytime sign-off/sign-on & the day/night
facilities switch occurs at the nearest at the nearest hour, quarter hour
or half hour to the sunrise/sunset time on the 15th of the month. For an
example, here in Chicago, on the 15th of December, the sunset time is
4:22. This means that power/antenna switch takes place at 4:15 every day
in December.

Most change to their night power at local sundown, and stay with that
until the next day's sunrise when they go to their day power. Tho there
are those that are authorized to broadcast a a different power during
"critical hours" (CH), like during twilight. But then again, there are
those that come on at 6am and stay on until 6pm, come hell or high water,
regardless of the sun!

Changovers for 24 hour stations, and signon and signoff for daytimers are
usually made on the nearest 15 minute mark to sunrise or sunset.  Times are
adjusted monthly and when the shift is made to and from Savings Time.  So
there are 14 changes per year, although for 2 months during midsummer and
midwinter most stations have no change.

Assuming the time zone is 1000 miles, stations within 249 miles from the
begining of the time zone switch on the hour, 250 to 499 miles on the :15
mark, 500-749 on the half hour and 750-to the end at :45 mins after.  Any
time zone that is "adjusted" longer or shorter at the latitude to conform
to state borders or other geography is simply divided in quarters to define
the subzones.  Also the station's service area, (DA pattern), is taken into
account and that may "move" the station into an adjacent subzone.

There are also things like pre-dawn and post sunset authorizations.  These
are usually from 1/2 to 1 hour long and may, although not likely, allow the
station to remain at full power.  Usually the power level is dropped and/or
the DA pattern changed.  Daytime stations may sign on/off at the
00/15/30/45 min mark for their area, or if authorized, 1/2 to 1 hour
before, (on), or after, (off), the time mark.  Some stations may have one
authorization and not the other.

The confusion gets worse.  Many former daytime only stations discovered
that their nighttime authorizations were for more power than their post
sunset/pre-dawn authorization(s).  Some have had their nighttime
authorizations extended earlier and/or later to the subzone time mark or
a negotiated time interval after (night) or before (day) it.  In other
words they are in the same situation as many other 24 hour stations, but
then again there are still those few that will disapper from the dial and
come back an hour later.

Finally there are stations that have been on for decades that negotiated a
particular time to change pattern with other stations on the frequency back
in the 1930's, 40's and or 50's.  For example, WQEW in New York negotiated
with a California station on 1560 in the 1940's to switch to nighttime DA
at approximately sundown Pacific Time.  If sundown in California is 8:40
PM, WQEW will switch at the nearest break, (between records usually),
anytime between 11:35 and 11:45 PM.  Switch to daytime DA is 1 hour after
sunrise in NYC.  This agreement is now etched in stone since the FCC has
filled in the holes between the patterns with other stations.

If this was summer you should remember that Arizona stays on Standard time.
In other words, by not shifting they virtually shift from MST to PDT.
KUAT, (if that's there still their call), gets an hour advantage for a
station on that longitude.  At one time they were daytime only, I think
they are 24 hours now but with reduced nightime power.

Let's steer clear of the alt groups or we'll have trouble moving it to
the rec grouping (check out alt.radio.scanner & rec.radio.scanner).
\
I think the best thing to do would be to narrow down rec.radio.shortwave
to rec.radio.shortwave-listening (to cater for "does anyone know how to
listen to cricket from India, etc) and vote in a new group rec.radio.dxing
to cater for the full-on DX'ers ranging from LW right through to SHF.

AS for the argument that MW DX'ers should be using mailing lists first, there
are a number of lists running already. THe thing is, DXing is the sort of
hobby where a newsgroup can be an excellent tool. Hot DX tips can be
simply posted and instantly propagated around the world.

Who wants to put together the RFP?

A lot of people have been saying:

> I vote against splitting up r.r.s.

Why is it that so many people regard the creation of a new news group as
"splitting up"?  Is there some rule that says if you subscribe to one
news group, you have to unsubscribe from another one?  How many of you
read more than one group?  I certainly do.

Don't think of it as a divorce, think of it as an organizational device.
That's exactly what the USENET system was designed for; a hierarchical
system for organizing discussions by *topic*.

Its been said that rec.radio.shortwave is a wide-open newsgroup covering
everything "from DC to light", but is it really?  I, for one, take
newsgroup names very seriously.  When I see ".shortwave" in the title of
this newsgroup, I feel a littl guilty about posting stuff that doesn't
relate to shortwave, and I can't help but think that many other people
feel the same way.  There have probably been many threads about stuff
like "lowfers", FM & TV DX, MW DX, programming, utilities, and yes, even
conservative nut cases that have been cut short because the participants
in the thread did not want to get too far off-topic.  I'd like to see a
group where such things are not considered off-topic.

There is a definite risk that such a newsgroup could degenerate into
that.  It's already happened in ba.broadcast.  If you can DX Rush, Art,
Gil, Tom or whomever, I suppose they'd be fair game for the newsgroup.

If there were a newsgroup rec.radio.talkshows we could tell them to

I also think there should be a newsgroup rec.radio.receivers

Message-ID: <4g8r0q$[e-mail]>

Almost every Drake owner has a hard time parting with his/her RX
even if it is only a day. But, since I had purchased my Drake R8 two
years ago, I always felt there was something missing right out of the
box.

        I often thought of sending my receiver to Drake for an alignment
even after my warranty was up, but I could not part with it for the
three to four weeks I assumed it would take!

        Then two months ago I saw an ad in "The Monitoring Times"[I
believe in the December issue ?]. It was for a complete alignment to
specs or better. I sent my R8 in, and it took six days from the time I
shipped it to the day UPS brought it back.

        I have an VFO accuracy of +/- 1 Hz (I know the display reads no
better than 10 - hook it up and check it out). My Synchro, the one that
did not make a difference but was nice to have for the sake of
conversation, is now fully understood, because now it works --- WELL.

        The cost for everything, including return shipping to me was
$57.35. You have to contact this guy to appreciate what and how he does
this. I don't have the patience you need for his meticulous operation.

Mmmm. I've always claimed that the synchro in the R8 (R8A in my case)
works well. Guess I was just lucky it was aligned properly at the
factory :-)

However, the day may come when I have to have it (the R8A) aligned.
Shipping it to the USA from here in Australia and back would cost
several hundred dollars. Is this alignment something that a local
radio technician could do? Do they have to be a Drake expert? Could I
do it (I do own a multimeter :-)) with the help of a service manual
(I don't have one at this time)?

Thanks!

If your house has aluminum siding and/or foil lined insulation, signals
will be refelected away from your house and there won't be that much to
receive in the attic.

A 50 yard long length of wire is also a lot more than you could string up
in your attic.  Unlike transmitting antennas that have to be matched to the
wavelength, the rule with simple receiving antennas is the longer, the
better.

Next, the cable TV wire is probably not terminated or cut at that pole, but
at a point further down the line at the pole where the distribution amp is.
This could mean that the wire is a lot longer then 50 yards.

As with any outdoor antenna, you should make sure you have lightning
protection on it.  The chances are the cable company did not put any
arrestors, (including ground wire and rods in the ground), on the cable as
it entered your house.  Even if they did, it's kind of old and should be at
least checked if not replaced.  Since the line is cut at some pole
somewhere, there probably isn't any protection on it at the other end or at
any pole in between.

The pole amps themselves may be protected, but you are no longer connected
to it.  In most suburban areas there is a single open wire mounted on top
of each pole via an insulator.  This is the "lightning rod" for the poles.
It may protect you from a direct hit comming down the line into your house,
but the discharge through the wire will still be strong enough to do
serious damage to your radio.  Even with lightning protection you should
always disconnect your radio from an outdoor antenna when you are not using
it and never use it during an electrical storm.

In response to your posting about SW reception.  I recently bought a DX
392 (my first SW radio) and an having some problmes with reception.  I'm
located in Central New York.  I've found about 20 stations for evening
listening and am most interested in BBC, which is weak at 5795.

What is an eave antenna?  Also I bought an Amplified Shortwave Antenna
(20-280) and found it made no difference at all.  I'm not sure if it's set
up correctly.   Is a wire up a tree good?

If you have any suggestions it would be appreciated.

Hi all

Playback Magazine is looking for a DXer, or SWL who can write a regular
series of articles on DXing/SWLing.

We're not looking for DX tips style of writing, but more of a feature type
thing. Like how you get started, what sort of aerials/receivers etc you
need.

Then perhaps we can progress onto what sort of things you can hear on the
band. And I'm open to suggestions on what else we can cover.

The magazine is non-profit making (more by circumstances than anything
else!), so we can't pay contributors, though a regular DX Columnist will get
free copies of the monthly magazine, plus occasional freebies and discounts
on radio souvenirs etc.

If anyone is interested, please do get in touch. But please bear in mind
that we really need someone that can write good articles that will be
accessible to our readers, many of whom work in British radio, but have an
interest in radio elsewhere.

I look forward to hearing from you if you are interested. E-mail me at:

[e-mail]

Thanks for your time

Hello everybody

I have just heard this weeks Dxing with Cumbre - what a great show!

I have been trying for several weeks to hear this show but conditions
have not been the best.   We were promised a new frequency on 13760
for Europe but until this week conditions were no better.

However tonight's show was one hundred percent copyable.  I enjoyed
every word, and gleamed some very useful tips and information.

Did anyone in the north of England have good reception this week?

DXing with Cumbre is one of the most informative dx shows on short
wave at the moment.

Regards from Liverpool

 For sale, an Eddystone Radio Ltd. model 958/3 professional monitoring
receiver.  Covers 10 KHz to 30 MHz, this 19" rack mounted receiver has the
nice Eddystone weighted tuning dial (film strip tuning indicator).  Appears
to be an all-solid state design, with each section individually shielded.

With a 1 ft antenna, I can hear low frequency and AM BC signals but the
receiver probably needs alignment and some care.  Otherwise, it is in
good condition and sold as-is.

Isn't this the review of the Satellit 500 and NOT the review of the YB

Formerly Grundig's flagship portable SW receiver, this is still an
excellent piece of equipment. Excellent sensitivity and selectivity.

user-definable
"name" for each memorized station. 42 memory positions. Tunes to .1

Tunes
MW in 9 or 10 kHz steps. Keypad frequency entry. In addition to AM,

VDC-in
jacks. Local/DX switch. Built extremely rugged. Power supply included.

An all-around great performer. Now that it's discontinued, many

>You forgot to include the Select-A-Tenna cost, which adds another $60
plus shipping to the total cost.  So using your figures of $250 + $60 =
$310 plus shipping cost. I think the GE Superadio III is a bargain in
$50 range.  By the way, the Select-A-Tenna will improve any AM radio,
which is in my opinion the deturmining factor for great reception.  I
taken cheap table top radios and other junky AM radio's, and got
spectactular results.  It even improves the reception of the GE
Superadio III.  But the bottom line is, the GE Superadio is still less
than the Select-A-Tenna which produces no sound!

If your goal is to have the best, why not buy a Drake R8A with a Kiwa
MW loop antenna.  It only cost @ $1100 for the radio, and @ $350 for
the antenna.  And while your at it, build a few beverage antenna's.

bUT, Seriously, THE GE is a great radio, concidering it is very
portable, long lasting battery operation, and excellent reception.  And
like someone else said, "you can never have too many radio's". :-)

Subject: Good entry-level SW receiver?
Date: Sat, 17 Feb 1996 14:10:31 -0800
Distribution: world
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

I'm looking at getting a new (to me) SW receiver to replace the old
Hallicrafters S-38C I had a while back (no, I'm not that old--I got it
*very* used at a hamfest for $15).  I'm talking  around $500 or less for
now--if I get gung-ho about SWL I can always upgrade later.  Anyway, I've
been looking around and have found the following.  Any recommendations,
comparisons, or info on the older receivers would be useful, as I've
really only been able to find stuff on current models.

The contenders:

Yaesu FRG-7000.  I've heard that the more recent late models (7700, 8800)
are good, but I haven't seen any on the used market recently, and I'm not
sure about the 7000.  I've also heard that the 7000 was rather quickly
replaced by the 7700, which might indicate that it was lacking (if you
know specifically what kinds of things were wrong with it, do tell).

Sony ICF-2010.  I could get one of these for about $100 more than the
above.  I know this is actually a portable (somewhat largish), but
everything I've read says it's a solid performer.  How does it compare to
the old and current tabletops in performance?  I don't need the
portability--should I even be considering this radio?  How does it compare
to the newer Sony portables, such as the ICF-7600G?

Yaesu FRG-100.  This seems to be a solid performer as well, but it's at
the upper end of my price spectrum.  I wouldn't mind going for something
with somewhat less performance for a lot less price.

Drake SW-8.  Same boat as the FRG-100, although on average seems to be
somewhat more expensive.

AOR AR-3030.  Same boat as the FRG-100, and I've heard mixed reviews about
this particular model (although if the 7030 comes out and meets the
publicized specs it will vindicate AOR forever).  Of these three, any
recommendations as to which is best?

I should clarify that my main criterion is the ability to eke out
signals.  I don't care about audio fidelity; just I want to be able to
listen to the greatest number of intelligible signals out there.  I can
fight poor user interface, as long as the receiver ultimately has the
tools to pick out the signal.

Thanks for any input.

I have inherited an S-40B that produces no sound. I know nothing about
fixing radios. How hard is it to troubleshoot. Is it simply a matter of
pulling out the tubes (access to them is easy) testing them, and
replacing the defective ones, or is it more involved? I have all manuals,
service bulletins and parts lists for this receiver. Can you still buy
replacement tubes and how expensive are they. I don't want to make a
major project out of this but it looks like a great receiver and if I can
fix it by replacing a few tubes I'give it a shot. Would appreciate any
advice. What am I getting myself into?

FYI Thomas -- A nice working S-40B is worth about $125.00 these days. Look
in your phone book for Antique Radio Dealers for an estimate to repair the
receiver if you don't want to tackle the job youself or contact a Ham
Radio Club for assistance-- some of the old retired Hams repair these for
reasonable cost.

Hi Thomas
I have recently acquired a Hallicrafters S-40B also, fortunately mine
works but needs further work. You could be lucky and find that re-tubing
will do the trick. A good Hickok Tube checker will verify the tube
operation. For trouble shooting beyond that, I would suggest a VTVM,
Signal Generator, and a Signal Tracer, Siganal Injector or Oscilloscope
for testing. Start by verifing that the power supply voltages are proper,
If so inject a modulated signal into the antenna then using a scope or
signal tracer trace the signal to the point of trouble. A signal Injector
might also be used.

Ham Swap Meets should take care of your tube requirements, reasonable
prices there -- if not try Radio Shacks.

Fixing these old radios is a lot easier than say surface mount technology,
but if an IF transformer is wiped out, parts can be a problem for sure.

My first Ham radio was an S-40B  cost $89.95 as I recall --- in 1948!!!

Things sure have changed Hi Hi.

73
Good Luck on the project
Rod

Burt, I've only been on the Internet for a couple of days now, but I have to
say that a quick review of your recent articles reveals a distiinct lack
of etiquette.  Why are you so darned bitter?  Did you lose your job or your

Passport: ISBN 0-914941-37-2
WRTH: ISBN 0-8230-5927-8

Passport will prove especially valuable to you as a beginner but you
will need WRTH too as the two complement each other in helping you
with what you are listening to or what you want to listen to.

You can use your Internet connection to look up all kinds of book
information through any of the Internet booksellers, e.g., Amazon
Books at URL http://www.amazon.com (I have no connection with Amazon
other than as a satisfied customer).

Alternatively, telnet to an online library catalog such as CARL at URL

I second the recommendation in another post of a GE SuperRadio III, about
$45. If you can add an external antenna - just 20 or 30 feet of wire,
preferably outside but along the baseboard will do, this would be better
yet. Experiment with antenna length and placement, and you might get very
good results.

This all assumes, as also mentioned in another post, that there isn't an
interfering station on the frequency of the one that broadcasts the games.
If there is, depending on the location of the other station, a directional
AM antenna, from a store like Universal Radio (they have an 800 number)
might help.

Yep, right group.  Follow it for a couple more weeks.  There is a monthly
FAQ that is posted in several parts.  Read the one on MW DX (medium wave
DX).  You'll probably end up buying a GE Superradio 3, which is within
your budget.  And I believe the FAQ also talks about antennas.

There are probably a few turns around the internal ferrite rod already,
which serve to couple the loopstick to the receiver.  Try connecting a
short piece of wire to either side of that secondary and see if it
affects reception.

I am a member of the board of the Elko TV District. We own and operate
translators and microwave systems which bring in television from as far
away as 300 miles (Reno). We currently have 100 watt translators
operating on channels 15, 17, 50, 52, 67, and 69. Recently our local
Radio Shack dealer introduced one of the board members to the MINISTATE
antenna. It is NOT a Radio Shack product, but he happens to carry it.
This is a fully-encased circular antenna which includes a rotor and
one-heck-of-a preamp. This antenna gives a crystal-clear signal on
channel 69 and beats the 22 element yagi which I had been using that was
especially designed for use with low-power translators. Due to its size,
about two feet across by four inches thick, the ministate antenna can be
mounted just about anywhere, including in a closet or attic. It can also
be mast-mounted out-of-doors. The model number is 5MS740 and it is sold
by TDP Electronics of Swannanoa, North Carolina. Phone [phone].
Cost is $150 US retail. I am NOT affiliated with this company in any way,
shape, or form (but I love their antenna).
Hope this helps.

All right...I'm sure that hundreds of these postings have come up but I

small just bigger than a walkman types).  I will be working overseas in

etc, etc.  I'm lost.  Any info, suggestions, product suggestions would be

Hi

I just got back from Saudi Arabia and my Sony 7600 worked great. After all
the next best thing to transmitting is receiving. Be careful what the laws of
the country you are going to say....Lucky for me they didn't figure out my
7600 was a short wave receiver instead of a big walkman. In Saudi I could
pick up WWV in Colorado so someone can really reach out and toutch you.

Subject: ID LOGIC at the last HFCC Conference in Bern
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 1996 13:45:21 LOCAL
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>
Keywords: High Frequency Coordination Conference

I just came back from Switzerland where I was invited by the
Swiss PTT to make a presentation of ID LOGIC Shortwave to the
High Frequency Coordination Conference. Most interesting.

I was able to talk to the representatives of
Austria*, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada*, the Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France*, Germany*, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Netherlands*,
Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland*, Turkey,
Ukraine, U.K.*, USA*, and the Vatican*, and other non-gov entities.

Of course several of these broadcasters (marked above with
an asterix '*') are already part of the ID LOGIC SW Group.
So this helped greatly in increasing our momentum.

Went extremely well. (Was translated in Russian - told them
it was ironic since I probably thought of ID LOGIC the first time
in 1956 when the Soviets invaded Hungary and, as I saw my father
search frantically for a news station on his shortwave radio,
I thought: There must be a better way...)

After the conference, we all got invited by the PTT to a cocktail
given in one of the historic cellars (in Bern). Magnificent
vaulted ceilings, great wines, very noisy and much merriment.
Then suddenly a brass and drums band comes marching in (about
30 or them, dressed in elephant and tutu costumes) and starts what is
called in Bern "Kukemusik": it's not the quality of the music
that counts - it's the volume (they are particularly well known
for keeping a whole town awake at night during Carnival).
Deafening! Now, right next to me is one of the only two women
at the conference: a diminutive Iranian delegate in her shador,
lovely but with a very purposeful look about her, and as
she sees me subtly covering my ears, she climbs to the top
of her tiny feet and says in my ear: "Open your mouth to equilibrate the
eardrum, you know, like when you shoot a rifle!" Purposeful indeed...

We should have some great news very soon. Check our home page, at

Greg-
Get yourself a copy of Passport to World Band Radio 1996. It should be
available in most bookstores. It will give you a good, basic introduction
to SW listening.  It has reviews of SW radios and will also tell you how
to tune in the various SW broadcasts.

Do you have a schematic?  Look for a shorted diode associated with the
indicator. If it stays lit with power off and nothing else is on then it
should be easier to find in the schematic.  Follow the voltage back from
the indicator and see what has shorted to allow voltage from the mains to
reach the indicator.  If you can't read a schematic then it's best to
send it to Kenwood.

Hi  Ya'll,

   Thought I'd pass this NASA Press Release along.

                                                    Feb. 14, 1996

NOTE TO EDITORS: N96-9

BRIEFING DIRECTLY LINKING SOLAR STORMS TO DISRUPTIONS ON EARTH

        New findings, beneficial to the telecommunications
and power industries in preparing for huge geomagnetic
storms, will be the topic of a press briefing to be held 3
p.m. EST Thursday, Feb. 15, 1996, at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena , CA.  The briefing will be
carried live on NASA TV, with two-way question-and-answer
capability from participating NASA Centers.

        The findings are the result of data from the
Japan/U.S. Soft X-Ray Telescope on board the Yohkoh
spacecraft and studies from the power industry.  The
findings were presented at an international gathering of
solar physicists, power and utilities representatives and
members of the Department of Energy national laboratories,
held this week at JPL and sponsored by the American
Geophysical Union and the National Science Foundation.

        Participants in the briefing will be Hugh Hudson,
University of Hawaii;  John Kappenman, Minnesota Power;
Douglas Hamilton, University of Maryland.  Bruce Tsurutani,
JPL, will be the moderator.

        Among the significant results being reported:

        * Scientists using data from the Yohkoh satellite
have been able to draw a direct link between a dimming
process occurring in the Sun's corona which results in huge
flares causing electrified particles to wash over Earth.
Scientists predict they can now provide as much as 50 to 70
hours advance warning of these solar storms.  That warning
can give industries time to prepare vulnerable systems for
the solar storm.

        *   The power industry has been able to directly
link major geomagnetic storms with severe disruptions at
power plants from Maine to California. This correlation
could allow the industry to monitor the beginnings of storms
on the Sun and prepare transmitters and power grids for the
onset of these storms on Earth.

        * Ionized oxygen is the culprit in creating huge
energized rings in Earth's ionosphere just before the
onslaught of a geomagnetic storm.  Knowing the composition
of these highly energized rings is allowing scientists to
better understand when they occur in the 11-year solar cycle
and to anticipate periods of high energy activity.

        * Understanding the nature of very high energy
electrons will allow engineers to safeguard future
spacecraft in high radiation environments with better
protective shielding.

       NASA is also a participant in the International
Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) program, involving a number
of satellites which will help scientists better understand
the Sun, leading to the ability to predict and provide
advance warning of solar storms affecting the Earth.  Next
launch in the series is NASA's Polar spacecraft on February 22.

                       - end -

Grundig has announced that the Satellit 900 wil be delayed
until late 1996. As for the SW1000T, I own one and love it.

The DX-375 does not have full coverage. The User's Manual lists the
following coverage:
        FM 87.5 - 108.1 MHz
        AM 530-1710 kHz
        SW 2300-6250, 7100-21850 kHz

I use my 375 a lot, most often on FM. The SW reception is good for
broadcast stations. 5kHz tuning. Yesterday I got Japan clear as a bell
in Fort Wayne, IN. There is no SSB. I have ordered a superduper SW radio
so that I can DX and listen to amateur radio.

I am surprised that nobody has posted a message about this (at least,
I haven't seen one), so I will. Last week, Dutch radio news reported
that Portugal has decided to revert to UTC as its standard time. I
imagine this will mean that Portugal will remain on UTC+1 when other
European countries switch to summer time at the end of March, and then
revert to UTC at the start of winter time. Some of Radio Portugal's
transmissions will be affected by this change.

The UK decided not to  move from UTC/UTC+1 a month or so ago. A private
members bill had been promulgated on the grounds that extra light at the end
of the day would reduce the number of road accidents, but was
defeated. Scottish lobbyists were instrumental in  this due to the adverse
effect on winter mornings in Scotland. The effect on Ireland would be even
more pronounced.

Geographically, France, Spain, and BeNeLux should really be on UTC/UTC+1 too.
At least then, the British, Irish and Portuguese would feel under less
pressure to change!

Sadly true, although there was a brief and very muddled
report about the Portuguese time-change in the Financial
Times today. Expect lots of British businessmen to miss
appointments in Lisbon at the end of next month.

I have recently acquired 2 R390AÆs and I am in the process of restoring
them. I am looking for a source of parts, Fair Radio is the only one I am
aware of are there others?

One of the R390Æs was to be used as spares for the first one but I am
going to make it operational instead. I am looking for the cover for the
Mechanical Filters and a cover for Z503. This one , a Collins from a 1951
contract, does not appear to have had an oven that fit over the top of
the crystal tray. Is this the case?

Besides Fair is there a better source for tubes for these?

Does anyone have any hints for refinishing the knobs?

It has been 15 years since I worked on R390Æs but at that time we had 750
at the AF site I was stationed at.

The best time to catch radio australia is in the morning before dawn local
time. Some frequencies you might check are 9580 and 9860.
The key to reception is timing listening while it is still dark where you
are while it is dark in Australia. This is generally in the Morning in the
Eastern United States.


Hope this info helps

Only you (or Radio Croatia) can verify what you heard, Mike :-) But it
is 99% certain...Radio Croatia beams towards North America at
0200-0600 on 5895, and has news in English on the hour. The only other
station listed to use 5895 is Trans World Radio from a transmitter in
Albania, but TWR does not broadcast during the European night hours.

I'm wondering the exact name of your RS antenna.  I have an Amplified
Shortwave Antenna (Cat no. 20-280), which does not seem to help reception
at all.  Is this what you have?  If not what is the exact name of yours
and how much did it cost, if I may ask?

Thanks, Kim

Heard Radio Yugoslavia last night (0100-0128 UTC) with a booming signal
on 7115. The 1995 WRTH doesn't list this frequency. With such a strong
signal I was wondering if anyone knew whether this was a relay, or the
same transmitter used before for 6195? Essentially, I'm just trying to
pin down the site of the transmitter as either Bosnia or not Bosnia -:)

The problem is the low level of solar activity.   Ionization is very
low before sunrise and falls quickly after sunset because it was so
low to begin with.

Note that the relay of Radio Korea International at 1130 UTC (6:30 am
EST) on 9650 is very variable in strength - but the Radio Japan relay
at 1300 and 1400 UTC is a solid 444 or 555, depending on how strictly
you grade the signal.   The only difference in daylight...

This is going to continue until 1997 at the earliest (groan), but at
least signal strength will be better as summer comes on and sunrise
over Sackville is earlier and sunset later!   At least the ionization
resulting from direct exposure to sunlight will start (and end)
closer to the transmission times of the desired relays.  That should
translate into improved reception conditions, based on past
experience..

I've redesigned my soccer radio website to better utlize Netscape

easier for you to get to whatever areas you're most interested in
quickly.

Please check it out.  Let me know if you see any problems, or if you
have any suggestions.  it looks fine on my screen, but you can never
tell.  Once again, changes will only be seen on frame supported
browsers, like Netscape.  not sure about Microsoft Explorer, but
than again, who'd want to put any more money in Bill Gates pockets
anyway ;P

As always, please feel free to advise me of any radio news you might
find out in yor local markets, and I'm looking to expand my college
soccer coverage if anyone gets me their local information.

If you don't see my other post, I'm also looking to see if ANYONE
has a copy of the World Cup Radio broadcasts of ANY of the games
they can copy for me.

I know when I was a kid I used to pop a tape in the deck when the
Strikers were playing.  I hope there's someone out there who did the
same a couple of summers ago!

Thanks guys (and gals :)  )

I  too own a sangean ATS 803A. Nice radio for the money. It was sold by
Radio Shack as a DX-440.  Hooked up to a simple 40 ft wire with a
connection in the back of the radio, it brings in lots of stations. I
added a $40 mfj tuner to mine. It improved it greatly. I got a QSL from
SLOVAKIA and KUWAIT. TOTAL Investment: about $200.

OK Mr. Jimbo,

        500khz...       Intl calling/distress - A1A
        5696Khz...      Air to Ground ops (good search and rescue freq) -
                        J3E
        6500/6201khz    J3E duplex standard coord network.. also have
                        "scn" freqs in the 4Mhz, 12Mhz, and 8Mhz bands
        518Khz          Navtex Bcst

These are some of the biggies I can think of. You should be able to copy
most of them without a problem. I worked at NMF for the past 3 years
and these are common freqs.. all listed in the ITU. Have Fun!

This is hard to believe.  The recorder out is microphone level, not line
level.  I had to put a mike mixer between the 2010 and my stereo
pre-amp in order to hear anything.  Some SW radios have line-level
recording outputs -- the Kenwood R-5000, for one.

It works great with my little voice-activated microcassette recorder. I
just connected it to the microphone input on the tape recorder directly.

No one has any addresses of companies or little electronic blacksmith

Unfortunately, the CRF-V21 has already been sold out.  If you

The original price was about US$5,000 and I think it is worth

Does anyone know what the station is on 15185.6 khz. with religious
(gospel) programming?  I've heard it several times from 1800 to 2200 UT
with a fair to good signal until fade out around dusk here on Eastern Long
Island, New York.  There was no ID on the hour or half-hour.  Possibly
Equatorial Guinea?  Thanks in advance for any help - Mike

Mike:

Your right. It is Equatorial Guinea - Radio Africa/Radio East Africa. They
are often off their listed freq. of 15190. In fact WRTH lists them on
15186.   Several years ago I got them to QSL. But subsequent reports have
gone out and never come back.

Howdy,

Considering where today's SW receivers are, technologically speaking, a
$29.00 _analog_ SW receiver would likely make a fairly decent paper
weight.

 I saw them also. I bought one from Marshall's <cut-rate clothing
store> $20.00. Sensitivity is OK, selectivity is as wide as a barn
door. All in all, for the money it is a decent buy. I use it for
WRNO in the mid day. For me it was certainly worth it.

 BTW, the one I bought was made by Grundig

Interesting. There has recently been a long delay between deliveries,
but this morning I had over 50 messages waiting for me. Perhaps the
system was down for a while? I feel the listserver is still MUCH
faster than the news group. Here in Australia at Flinders University
I receive news group messages an average of one week (!) after they
are posted - sometimes two weeks. The reason for this is that news
servers pass on their load only once a day to the next server on the
list until the news has been distributed to all destinations. This
can take a long time for some areas. So the listserver - despite
delays - seems almost instantaneous by comparison.

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>


The man shortwave radio enthusiasts knew only as "Havana Moon" died on
January 9th shortly after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

William T. "Bill" Godbey, KB2OOR, of Ossining, NY was born September
5, 1936. For years as Havana Moon he wrote a monthly numbers station
column for Monitoring Times titled "Los Numeros" and published pirate
and numbers station newsletters under Moonbeam Publications. He and
his wife Christine (known as "Kristin Kaye") ran a mail order company
specializing in hobby radio items and later co-hosted the weekly
"Signals" program on shortwave. In recent years they ran an Internet
consulting business.

The March issue of Monitoring Times magazine will include a tribute to
"Havana Moon" and a biography written by Christine.

Additional info since my post of Feb 15:

According to the newspaper obituary, Bill was a retired US Navy
officer and served with the Army Security Group in the late-50's and
early 60's. He was a member of the Naval Cryptographic Veterans
Association and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers.

He was born Sept 5, 1936 in McCrory, Arkansas, attended schools there
and graduated from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro in 1958 with
a degree in journalism. Before moving to NY he had lived in West Palm
Beach, FL for 25 years and worked for Cox Enterprises (note: I'd seen
a bio of him about a year ago that said he'd worked for Cox
Communications). In addition to his fiancee, Christine, he is survived
by a daughter, Jennifer Godbey of Tenneseee.

Since leaving the hobby radio scene he and Christine have been running
an Internet consulting business.

According to reports, he had not been feeling well since last summer.
Christine finally convinced him to see a doctor in the fall. One
person I spoke with saw him at a Christmas party and said he seemed
fine. He was admitted to the hospital New Year's Eve and died 10 days
later.

I have decided, in retrospect, not to post all of the information I
gathered last fall about the demise of "Signals" at this time.  I'd like
to offer my sincere condolences to the family, friends, and fans of
Havana Moon.

I will say one thing about "Signals".  All of the information I collected
led me to believe that the collapse of "Signals" was simply an
unfortunate financial accident.  There was absolutely no intent to
defraud or deceive the buying public.  As far as I can tell, "Christopher
King" and "Kristen Kaye" were fine, upstanding people who were highly
regarded by their friends in the hobby community.

I'll be traveling to Dublin, Ireland in the near future and need to know a

1.)  Will I be allowed to bring my SW radio into the country??

2.)  I have the following radios that I can take along with me:

DX-380 (compact portable digital)
Sangean ATS-202 (mini portable Digital)
DX-342 (mini Portable analog)

Which one will give me the best performance and the least hassles from
customs?

Thanks to all in advance!

best job.

BTW, don't be surprised if you don't hear what you're used to hearing in
the US...you'll be _on_ UTC, so anything beamed to the US is usually
happening _very early_ in the morning. Also, much of what is sent this
way is bounced right over Ireland (i.e., on its way to the E-layer), so
you're apt to be in the "doughnut hole" of poor signals.

February 17/18 on VOA's Communications World...

--   Media news, including the explosion of the Chinese Long
     March with the Intelsat 708 satellite.  The intended
     footprint was the Western Hemisphere.  Rupert Murdoch's News
     Corp. will now have to find another satellite for its DBS-TV
     service for Latin America.  Scheduled interview with Paul
     Dykewicz, Editor of Satellite News.

--   Interview with computer expert Larry Magid about the strain
     on the Internet as the number of users and the size of files
     increase.  This will be a factor if radio and (gasp)
     television are to be conveyed by the Internet.  (Postponed
     from last week.)

--   One of the ways to download such files quickly is the Hughes
     DirecPC system.  This uses a 50-centimeter oval shaped dish
     for high speed access to the internet and DirecPC's own
     multimedia services.  Interview and demo with Jim Aloise,
     DirecPC marketing manager.  This has real possibilities for
     international radio.

Hope you can tune in or download.

Yes I thnk so. Look for A Mac-info mirror, and search for RadFax 0.9
If you can't find it please contact me again, since I have to dig for
the URL.
As the version number is very low you can conclude it is not as mature
as you wish.

Furthermore I am also very busy in the search for such a program.

I received my WGTG QSL on Tuesday, 20 Feb. for reports of 8/5/95 on 7355
and 11/5/95 on 9475.

They noted they would switch to 9370 starting on 3/27/96.

Rush's show is broadcast on WRNO out of New Orleans at 15420 KHz, at its
regular live time (9 AM-12 Noon ET).  I'd assume by your ID that you'd be well

within the signal range of WRNO - it's a much easier catch out there on the
East Coast than it is here in California ;)

It's my understanding that WRNO had some transmitter problems or some such, so

that might have been why you couldn't receive the show (assuming your radio at

least once scoped by the correct frequency).

Saving that, there's always one of the 600-zillion-trillion AM stations that
carry his show. ;)

How come I can not receive WRNO from Louisiana very strong and many

most of these stations operate on 100,000 watts.  Radio New Zealand
comes in stronger than WRNO.  Why do I have bad reception of WRNO??

I think it syncs with the signal the first time you push the sync button;
if you move the dial after that it gets worse.

To me, this sync is a wonder, it gets signals readable in a way I haven't

Someone inquired recently whether the SRIII was really worth it.  I can
only give you my slant on this.  With this radio alone (no extra antennas)
I've been able to receive the 1660 Radio Aahs from NJ, and last night,
amid the cacophony of 3 powerful Cubans slugging it out on 640 kHz, I
actually picked up KFI (Los Angeles).

I have a DX-392 which is o.k. for SWL.  However, in the city, it is not
very good for MW DX'ing and useless for FM DX'ing.  (Away from the city,
it's a different story.)  The SRIII is able to virtually nullify any urban
electrical problems around here (including a nearby transmitter).

The SRIII is probably the best, or just about the best, consumer purchase
I have ever made.

TECHNICS SH-9010 PARAGRAPHIC EQUALIZER. This is a rack mount unit built by

frequency and bandwidth EQ, +/- 12 dB on each of two stereo channels.  It has
an
EQ in/out switch for A/B comparisons.  It is built like a Sherman tank, solid,

They're similar, but not identical. for instance, the YB-305 offers
continuous SW coverage and the DX-375 does not.

>Subject: Re: Radio Shack Active Ant.
I saw an interesting  review of amplified antennas in Monitoring Times
Magazine.  The conclusion reached regarding the Radio Shack model (and
similiar Low End types) was that the effectiveness of these cheapies is
inversly related to the quality of the receiver you are using.  For the low
end receivers, without the "front end" (additional intermediate stage) of a
more expensive receiver, these amp'ed antennas really helped. I use a low
end Panasonic RF-B45 (about US $150.00) with the Radio Shack model, and the
amplified antenna improves both signal strength and selectivity.  With a
higher quality receiver, the opposite is true - the cheap antenna actually
degrades the selectivity of the tuning circuts, and the amplification
overloads the sensitive front end.  Those receivers need a Grove, MPM, or

>power levels (and antenna radiation patterns) for Day/Night operation. At
Sundown (known as dusk i √n the radio business).  The power is reduced at
night because the MW  propagation increases drastically at night, when the
earth blocks the rfi generated by the sun, and also when human activity is
reduced (generators, lights transformers, etc.)  Broadcasters reduce power
at night so they will not interfere with each other during the period of
greater propagation.  The one exception is the "clear channel" broadcasters,
authorized by their government to use the same, or even higher power at
night, because they are the only station authorized to use that frequency
after dusk, by the government and its treeaty partners.  This is usefull,
because you can get nation wide broadcasting on a clear channel at night.
It doesn't  seem like a big deal if you are used to satellite
communications, but when clear channel broadcasting started 50 years ago,
it seemedas remarkable as the internet does today!

Actually, there is a secure way to deal via the Net. Send the
item via UPS (in the US) and request cash on delivery. The UPS
guy will collect the amount of the item sent when it is delivered
to the person who is buying it. If the person who is buying it is
smart, he/she will open the package and check out the item while
the UPS guy waits. The seller gets his money after UPS makes
delivery and collects it.

You might like to look at : http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/ar7030.html
for more information (or check the March 96 edition of the UK
publication "Short Wave Magazine") Bill. Indeed the magazine review [by
John Wilson] is *very* imformative, with at least one favorable
comparison with the Watkins-Johnson HF-1000 receiver.

Basically the AR 7030 is AOR's latest HF receiver, UK designed (by John
Thorpe - who designed the Lowe HF 150, 225 etc) and UK built. But as AOR
are a larger outfit than Lowe they could spend more time/money getting
things together with John.

The end result is a receiver that retails at UKp799 yet outperforms [in
RF terms at any rate] the JRC NRD525 ...

Jonathan Marks on a recent Media Network used the word "superb" to
describe this receiver, they'll be doing a full review no doubt in the
not too distant future.

Oh, BTW you can also e-mail AOR [UK] for more information :
[e-mail]

Hope this is of some help Bill.

The "Yagi" is a class of antennas with parallel elements.  The typical
TV antenna which looks like |-|-|-| from the top is a Yagi.  Some are
made specifically for FM, often called just "high gain FM antennas".
I use Radio Shack model 15-2163 in my attic.  Channel Master also makes
one for FM.

  > Could it be used with a shortwave reciever such as the Grundig YB
  > 400 ?

I have not tried this combination, although the YB-400 is an excellent
choice for weak FM signals.  I have had good luck with Radio Shack's
"Portable amplified TV/FM antenna" 15-1607.  It is a rabbit-ear type
which folds up to a small package, and can be easily adjusted for best
reception of a particular station.  It plugs directly into the YB-400's
antenna jack.  I use it in the office to listen to a station about 30
miles or 50 km away.  It gives music with some noise in the background,
where the YB-400's whip antenna gives noise with some music in the
background.

The C. Crane catalog lists two multi-element FM antennas, including the
Channel Master.  Both are about 12 feet (2m) long and 6 feet (1m) wide.
It also lists the portable antenna in the TV section, but fitted with a
cable-TV connector rather than the original 3mm phone plug.

Hope this helps.

        If you go outside and look around you will see Yagi antennas
on the roofs of houses. The big ones are for VHF TV channels and the
little ones are for the UHF TV channels. These are antennas that are
"directional" and have gain. Consider that they work like a telescope,
you can't see a wide amount, but what you see is bigger. So to work,
they have to be pointed at the radio station.

        If you look in the phone book under Radio & TV stores, there
will be someone there who will sell you an FM Yagi.


> Could it be used with a shortwave reciever such as
>the Grundig YB 400 ?

        A Yagi is a "tuned" antenna. Each Yagi is built for a
certain frequency. So, you can buy one for Channel 8 TV or Channel 32
TV. If you want one for short wave, you can buy one for say the 31
Meter band. It will be 15 Meters wide and about 30 Meters long. Tricky
to mount on the roof and expensive too.

        Radio amateurs and point to point HF stations use Yagis on
short wave.

Yes, I caught that on Friday morning.  So, now we will not have a
radio-oriented program from the Beeb (even if it's all of ten minutes
long) for the entire Spring/Summer sked.

Seems like there's a pattern here:  The BBC get themselves into a crunch
(this time the budget again), and then they do something really bizarre
to tick off the listeners.  If anyone remembers (how could anyone not),
the last time the Beeb thought they were doing us a "service" we got
those wacky streams.

One has to wonder how their listenership skyrocketed to 144M.  Are they
giving us the real poop here?

You can easily string up a copper wire (I think speaker wire is

This seems to be somebody's joke. The generally accepted reading of PIAB is
"Presse- und Informationsamt der Bundesregierung", which roughly translates
to something like _The Government's Office for Public Relations_.

Pros:

Good sensitivity
User-selectible filter bandwidth ( 6KHz, 4KHz, 1.8KHz )
10 Hz tuning resolution (necessary for proper reception of many SSB
signals)
Computer-controllable


Cons:

Filters are rather shallow-skirted, leading to poorer-than-optimal
        near-frequency interference performance.
No synchronous AM mode
No keypad entry of frequencies (though third-party keypads are available)
No advanced tuning controls -- bandpass filter, notch, etc.

This sounds very likely; thanks for the suggestion.

After posting my original question (about my 818-CS not recording well),
I found that it would record OK on normal-bias tape but not on high-bias
tape, and the normal/high switch has no effect.  One of these days I'll
open up the radio and see if there's a bad connection on that switch,
and I'll see if the wires on that switch lead to something that looks
like a transistor (i.e. the bias driver that Ron mentioned), but in the
meantime I'm just using normal-bias tape.

Last time I read the law, it was still legal to own a Cellular capable scanner
.  You could also
sell it.  I belive the law only applied to importing additional Cellular capab

U.S. after the law was passed.

When you think about it, maybe it's illegal to own a Cellular phone!  :)

What exactly does it use for SSB?  It doesn't have synchronous detection,

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

I've been shopping around for a portable, and I've narrowed it
down to the following:

Sony SW7600G (low price locally: $179)
Grundig Yacht Boy 400 ($199)
Panasonic RF-B45 ($137)

I've heard alot of good things about the Sony, though I'm still
a bit vague as whether having synchronous detection would improve
reception in my area (I live in Los Angeles, on the second story
of a four-story building). The Panasonic -- while not as fully
featured as the Sony (it lacks synchronous dectection) -- seems
to be a nice radio for the money. Does synchronous dectection
have anything to do with a receiver's sensitivity to signals?
Could the Panasonic conceivably be a better receiver, even
without synchronous detection?

Thanks.

The Sony 2010 (I have one!) has long been considered one of, if not THE,

Compared with the Grundig, the Sony is the better receiver while the
Grundig has better audio. That's all I can say about that. Personally,
I've been happy with the Sony.

That means you can set up your FT-840 for 7335 lower

As for Radio Canada International, last I heard, it will go off the air
forever in the next few weeks, possibly end of March.  It`s indicative of
the state of Canada, that we can no longer afford a shortwave broadcaster.

G`day Joe!

If you`re near the Canadian border, there should be an AM or FM station
within earshot.  As for CAnadian shortwave, that will be history in a few
weeks anyway.  Canada can`t afford such luxuries anymore.

Subject: I NEED ADVICE....Looking for a new receiver.

Message-ID: <4h3fpn$[e-mail]>

Hi all;
I was delighted to find this group after exploring "other" areas of
newsgroups for so long this is a refreshing change. And nice to see
that there are still SWL's out there.
I have a Panasonic RF2200 portable that my mom bought for me when I
was 13 years old. I built my own shortwave from an old bicycle radio,
but of course had no way to accurately tune it, and no BFO....so I
guess she thought I was sufficiently interested enough to invest $150
for my birthday present. Well now, 15 years later, I think it's time
for a new radio.
I'm feeling a little apprehensive about dropping the bucks for a
Kenwood or even the brand new model Radio Shack offers without getting
some sound advice from others. It's tough to play with the models
you're considering in the stores when what you're after is so exotic
that you have to order it by mail order...sort of like you're
blindfolded. Here are some of the annoyances present in my current
shortwave that I want to eliminate.....

The BFO drifts....really badly actually. I thought it was sort of cool
when I was a kid, but now it's a pain in the butt to retune the
sideband station your trying to listen to every ten seconds. Will a
high end portable still drift?

My current set has analog tuning, therefore I have a similar problem
that I did with my converted bike radio....innacurate tuning. It has
crystal markers to calibrate it of course, but you're still guessing
to a point.

MY QUESTION:
I travel all the time. Do I have to get a tabletop set to get good
performance, or will an excellent portable do just as good of a job?
I can't aford a Watkins-Johnson and don't see the need of paying $1000
for an ICOM. Can I get good SSB performane for $200....and if not how
much of a receiver do I need?

        In the YooEss, the common TV antenna is a Log Periodic
varient. In YooRup and the rest of the world, the TV antennas tend to
be Yagis.

        There are two reasons for the differences:

        1. In other countries, there are often only one or two
stations on a band. In the U.S., the entire TV channel spectrum tends
to be occupied. So, there is no need to have a wide band antenna like
a Log Periodic, rather a single channel high gain antenna like a Yagi.

        2. In the U.S., TV stations are often closer to the consumer
than Europe so a low gain (3-6 Db) antenna like a Log Periodic is fine.
In the rest of the world, the consumer is often far from the
transmitter so a high gain (7-15 Db) antenna is called for.

        Also TVs do not use the same frequencies all over the world.

        If you are talking about a U.S. TV/FM antenna it is not sized
for the average frequency, it is a log periodic and covers all
frequencies of interest. A log periodic does not have a multitude of
directors, it has just one, the other elements are not active at the
frequency of interest.

If you give up on the shortwave, try 860 or 690 AM.  Both are powerful am

I had asked yesterday about a French language station that I've been

there was an interruption for an ID "WOKB Orlando".  It then repeated a
few seconds later.

WOKB, in Winter Garden FL officially, is listed in the NRC book as a "Talk

If you're near Detroit, you should also give a listen to 540-CBEF,
which is CBC French (like 860 and 690).  690 (CBF in Montreal) might not be so
 useful around
Detroit because of WNZK (in Westland) which is on 690 days and 680 nights (it
may very
well cause some adjacent channel interference to 690...)

        Yes, that's the same one I just got for my birthday. I find that it's a
big help in the morning hours and of some limited good at night.
Basically, if the signal was fairly strong to begin with, the amplifier is
a fifth wheel. But if you had a marginal signal, something that only
ocassionally registered on your strength meter, then the amplifier is a
big help.
        And for anybody out there considering it - it's the "Amplified
Shortwave Antenna", the guy behind the counter at my R-S had no
idea what an "active" antenna was.

In synchronous mode the BFO is controlled by the "phase Lock" detector.
Alignment is controlled by a coil that's accessed through a hole in
synchronous detector can (or shield).

In upper or lower sideband mode the BFO control voltage is switched to
a potentiometer.  In sideband mode the "pot", according to the Sony
service manual, is used to align the BFO.


The BFO is frequency, if my memory serves me correctly,  is a voltage
controlled crystal oscillator at 3.64 MHz (8 times 455 Khz).  It's
divided down and locked to 455 KHz during synchronous mode.  While in
synchronous mode, If you tune the radio away from the AM carrier,
eventually the BFO will unlock and drift away from the center
frequency.

YOU may not believe SWBC is a has-been medium, but I can point to lots of
stations which simply don't bother with it much anymore.  I mentioned that
KGEI shut down after 55 years because they spent more on electricity than
they got in donations.  Is TWR Bonaire still running SW?  I think not.
How about AFRTS?  Nope.  VOA shut down 3 transmitter sites and distributes
a *lot* by MW and FM stations now.  How about Radio Moscow?  When's the
last time you heard from them?  Radio Canada?  They're down to nearly
nothing and mostly duplicating the CBC domestic service programs.

About the only segment where SWBC is growing is among American religious
stations.  But, who's listening to them?  Probably not many people, since
the successful ones don't depend on donations from listeners; they depend
on selling program time to preachers who may or may not make their money
back.  This can hardly be called success.

" New things will come and go, but for the most part HF will always survive.

Nope, not at all.  For 200 watts you can hit a geosynch satellite and
spread your message over 1/6 of the world.  For SWBC you need 3 to 5
transmitters running a minimum of 100,000 watts with antennae pointed in
different directions to get that same coverage -- and then who is there
to hear it?  Not many people.

As to reliability, I look at where the various communication companies
are putting their money: satellites.  TV, radio broadcasting, data,
paging companies, telephone, even hams and Fidonet!  Shortwave?  SW has
limited use for broadcasting and for 2-way and spy stations.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to down play satellite and other means.
I think they have their place in the world.  But, HF broadcasting is and

Understand your point.  But, I seem to remember a minor uproar a few years ago

when SW Merry-go-Round was booted from SRI.  Are we SWLs getting soft?

What I fear the most is a trend by the BBC of late - a common mistake for most

broadcasters trying to expand their "marketability."  To this I am referring
to a quick, knee-jerk reaction to provide more mass-appealing pap and
commercialization, rather than the quality programming they have been
providing for many many years.  I mean, how many times a day / how many
versions of MultiTrack and news programs (albeit still well done) do we really

need?

Ditto! Min finally died after almost 16 years of service. Using a
simple longwire, I was able to log almost anything I ever wanted to on
SW and BCB. From the east coast I snagged most of the PNG 90 meter
stations, the Aussies on 120 mb and those just above AM, all the
African's everyone else was after and receiving. I think its a great
radio. For that price, I'd buy it to replace the one I just lost!

    Seagull,
      As the most supportive person in this newsgroup of the RS 20-280
amplified antenna, I will assume your questions are meant for me.
      Firstly, thank you for your comments, as a relatively new SWLer
(about three months) I thank yo for your comments backing me up on the
quality of the 20-280 on low-end radios.
      As for my radio, I listen on a DX-390 (no i don't own stock in
Radio Shack)in Blue Earth, Minnesota located about 10 miles north of the
Iowa border.
Though I have very little experience with electonics, the guy at RS
talked me through how to solder my 75-foot longwire and ground wire to a
phone-type plug that connects to the 20-280. (pretty easy). Besides my
longwire, I have a multi-band inverted "V" diapole. My longire is strung
up between two trees about 30 feet in the air, while my diapole is on a
tree about 40 feet high.
      I mostly listen to my shortwave after 6 p.m. (the time the AM
station about two miles away goes off the air.
      Without my antennas, both longwire and amplified, i get nothing.
Even with the longwire without the 20-280, I get very little. That's why
my $30 investment in the amplified antenna was such a bargain.
      While my system is probably not as good as some expensive table top
receivers, I can pull in almost everything. I have DXed Pyngyang in North
Korea, but I am yet to pull in Greece or the Vatican.
if you have any more questons feel free to post or E-mail me.

9825kHz is the only R. Marti frequency I'm aware of at this time.  The
US "Information" Agency frowns on it's citizens monitoring of it's
domestic transmitters broadcasting to foreign countries.  R.Marti,
VOA, ect.  That's why the frequencies aren't readily available in most
shortwave resources.  I live in east-central FL and I can just about
pick up R. Marti on my dental work!  You can also hear the "warbling"
noise of Castro's transmitters jamming the signal.  R. Marti, before
this week, was broadcasting at 50,000watts.  That's plenty of a signal
to make it the 100 miles or so to Havana from it's location in the FL
Keys. (without jamming)  The current reported power is now
100,000watts.  I know the signal is directional to Cuba but I'm
picking them up at full-strength from the back side of their tower
array's pattern.  I'm sure Fidel's transmitters are aimed right at R.
Marti's array because like I said earlier, I'm picking some of his
jamming efforts.

Hoping we can keep the citizens of the Keys and Cuba Glowing with RF,
:)

   Of course, there is still a problem - typically, you can't open the
package until you've paid.  So the seller could easily just ship
you a piece of rock.  It can be, and has been, done...

Unless the "goods" are a brick and some bubble wrap inside a box.

I was wondering something.  Can the person receiving a COD package open
and inspect the package at the UPS (or whoever) facility before accepting
and paying for it?  Then decide whether he wants to pay for and accept
it?  It seems this would be the ideal way to handle transactions with
unknown parties.  Of course, I'm not sure shipping companies policies
allow for doing this.  Also, if you could do this, you probably wouldn't
be able to know you received a *working* scanner, but at least you'd know
you got a scanner for your money.

Just wondering.

I'm not sure what you're looking for--I don't know of a real "radio store"
a la EEB, Grove, or Universal.  But depending on your interests and where
you're visiting, you might check out Nathan Muchnik's.  They are located
on the north side of Chestnut Street between 17th and 18th streets in
Center City Philadelphia.  In addition to an excellent selection of
classical music on CD and a relatively high-end stock of stereo & TV gear,
they stock most Sony and Sangean shortwave sets.  (They may have some
Panasonic and Grundig as well, but I'm not sure about that.)  It's a nice
place to go to browse and punch buttons on the radios, but the prices are
not even close to what you can get thru mail-order.  (As an example, when
I bought my Sangean ATS-803A several years ago, I paid $170 at Universal
and Muchnik's had it for $220.)

Dear all,

A few years ago, I knew of a place where you could e-mail for reviews of
various radios, including the whole Radio Shack line of products.  It was
in Florida, I think.

Does anyone know if this service is still in operation?  The reviews were
well done and I bought my scanner based on one.  I also think I unblocked

 George, How about posting a review of your radio for the group ?
 It it just a Drake (SW-8?) with the PRN label on it ?
 How has it been stripped/modified?

 Anyone else that has one of these, care to comment?

In my experience, unless there is interference on the other sideband, the
synchronous detection will not appear to have much effect.  It is when
there is interference on one sideband and NOT the other that it works its

Hello, There are a number of software programs available commercially
and some shareware programs. I tried some of the shareware stuff but
it didn't seem to do the job. (I'm using an HF-150) I have AEAFAXIII
whigh is a commercial program. It decodes FAX, Morse Code, RTTY
(there are various modes of RTTY) . I've used this program for over a
year and it works flawlessly with my 486 sx33 .  I've gotten many
RTTY messages in French (mostly from Canada and have seen a few
in other languages (Russian,Spanish) and of course English.
The software comes with an interface for the serial port on your PC.
They can be reached at:

P.S.  Included with the cable and software/manual
they give you a long list of frequencies to try.

I've been hearing the Tibetan People's Broadcasting Station
from Lhasa very clearly recently during the European evening
period. 6200 kHz in particular gives good reception from
sign-on at 2300 UTC until 0100 UTC, when the English
transmission from Prague to N. America appears on the same
frequency. 6200 kHz appears to have been re-activated
recently, together with parallel 4820 kHz (both are marked
as inactive in the 1996 WRTH). Maybe the frequencies were
taken off air while the transmitters were upgraded or
replaced? 4035 kHz and 5020 kHz are also clearly audible,
which makes the station especially easy to identify.

I don't know what a Sony 7601 is, but on my Radio Shack DX-390 I've found that
the BFO adjustment is very sensitive, and with even the narrow filter not bein
g
particularly narrow it's hard to tune stations on a crowded band.

Of course, if your radio doesn't *have* a BFO, there's the problem.  The
transmissions are single-sideband.

Not at all.  Turns out that more people now listen to the BBC World
Service through affiliate stations than via their shortwave relays.  The
BBC is now a worldwide network.

To accommodate this they now have "breath pauses" each hour so that
affiliates can cut in and out.  Listen for these every hour at :59:15 (for
2 seconds at the end of a program) and at :59:30 (for 2 seconds just
before "This is London") and sometimes at the half hour.

These were put in because of requests from affiliate stations both to join
easily and so that they could cut out the BBC board op's announcements of
upcoming programs (which the affiliates may or may not be carrying).

Shortwave is a has-been medium for the most part.  It just isn't growing.
Companies such as Transworld Radio have abandoned SW.  KGEI (San
Francisco) went off the air in 1994 when they couldn't afford the power
bills any longer.  Other broadcasters are either cutting back or
concentrating on satellite distribution.

Probably, yes.  The BBC are committed to increasing their worldwide
audience and, truthfully, progs like waveguide are of minority
interest however sad it may be for us to admit it.  Of course, it's sad to
see such programmes come to an end but it was hardly worth the

In my experience with an SW100, the audio quality is different between the
synch set to upper and lower.  The lower is alway a bit fuller in the bass,
i.e lacking upper frequency audio.  I think this must be due to an offset
between upper side band synch and lower.  I think the synch circuit does not
exactly hit the middle of the frequency.  In theory the audio portion
contained in the upper sideband and lower sideband should be identical.  The
advantage of synch detection is that one side band or the other may
experience interferrance from an adjacent strong sw station.  If that
interferring station is 5khz above the desired freq, the lower sideband
would be  cleaner to listen to.  If the interferrance is from a station
5 khz lower, than the upper would be better.

Note:  on thre sw100s, if you set lower sideband sync, and if you tune down
by 1khz, then the audio sounds just like synch on the upper sideband, i.e.
the high frequencies in the audio are restored.  This is why I think the
synch detector is slightly offset.  Since the circuitry in the 7600 is
supposed to be very similar to the sw100, I think that is what you are
noticing.

If your 2010 is aligned properly it should jog to the lower sideband when the
radio is tuned below the carrier frequency and to upper sideband  when the rad
iois tuned above the carrier.  At the same time, the alignment in sideband mod
e
can be off.


>>Another question:  Is synchronous sideband capability over-rated, at least
>>for the keen-but-not-obsessed worldband listener?
>

Synchronous detection was developed to replace the AM carrier during selective
fading.  Selective fading is a phonomenon that's caused by propagation of radi
o
waves in the atmosphere.   It selectively fades certain frequencies while
others are enhanced.  Selective fading can reduce an AM carrier  and increase
sidebands causing distortion (it sounds like SSB in AM mode).

Synchrouous detection locks the radio's BFO to the AM carrier and using single
sideband reception, it replaces the carrier during fading.  Distortion is kept
to a minimum.

The only drawback that I know with synchronous  detection is it's inability
to correct audio frequency response which can also fade.  Sometimes the signal

can sound bassy while other times it can sound tinny.

If you have a spare VCR, you can tape radio programs on it as long as it
doesn't complain about the lack of a video signal.  (I have no idea which
ones do and which ones don't.)

1. Yes, you can directly enter a desired frequency. But only to the nearest
        5kHz. Not all stations are on exact multiples of 5kHz. 8-(

2. There is a gap in its reception from 1800 kHz to 2100 kHz.
        One of the first times I wanted to use it was to adjust the
        local oscillator of another receiver to 2085 8<(

3. There is a gap in its reception from 6250 kHz to 7100 kHz. 8-(

4. There is no BFO. This means that one cannot listen to SSB transmissions.

I also got it for $69.95. I like the size. I like the convenience of
        two C cells (battery life seems reasonable). I wanted to use it to
        pick up broadcasts from Bosnia and Croatia, but they do not reach
        Texas on a reliable basis.

Before you make your decision, do you know what frequencies your nephew
will try to monitor?

I've had my DX-394 for about a week and really like it. It's quite an
upgrade for me since I've previously used an old RS DX-200 single
conversion analog table top. I agree with criticisms about the rig's
selectivity, but sensitivity is good. AM DX is good, too. SSB reception
quite superior to tunable BFO radios. Audio is good; better than I
expected with the small internal speaker. If you gear your expectations to
the price I don't think you'll be disappointed.

For the older VCRs that do need video for synch, simply tune to a good

you're going to be doing is plugging into the "dub" jack of the audio so
that you can tape over the TV station's sound.

It's possible that either the BFO offset(s) is not where it should be, or
the filter passband is not symmetrical. I've noticed this effect on my
FRG-7700 if the BFOs are skewed to one side of the passband. Not familiar with
the scheme Sony is using, but a good technician that knows the radio should
be able to align the IF chain for better balance between sidebands. Good luck.

This is a good mnemonic (?) tool to remember what UTC means, but UTC does not
stand for Universal Time, Coordinated.  When the term UTC was created, the
French wanted the abbreviation to be TUC (Temps Universelles Coordinees - I
think that's the French spelling - I apologize if it isn't), and the Americans

wanted it to be CUT (Coordinated Universal Time).  Somebody jumped in and
proposed UTC because (a) both TUC and CUT can be made into words in many
languages (and "1330 tuck" or "1330 cut" would sound odd) and (b) UTC is not
the abbreviation of Universal Time in any major language, and the proposer
thought that an acronym not derived from any specific language would be a good

compromise.

Since words in English can be reordered (unlike most other languages) you can
fit English words to match UTC, and a lot of people assume UTC stands for
Universal Time Co-ordinated.  But it doesn't.

Hi all.  Has anyone had any success picking up Radio Tirana (from Albania) in

not sure if it's changed or not.

I'm using a Sony 7600G with a longwire antenna that's around the perimeter of
my study -- I can't use outdoor antennas here.  I also purchased a Radio Shack
Active Antenna yesterday to see if that helps, but it didn't -- it amplified
some signals well, but others didn't work too well.  Any hints on using it
effectively?

The so-called Yagi antenna (sometimes referred to as a Yagi/Uda) in your
case would be a typical American (?) television antenna. (I question
American because I'm sure exactly the same type of antenna is used all
over the world regardless of TV signal differences, they're on the same
frequencies!

The antenna (if not used for transmitting) consists of a reflector and a
multitude of directors. For transmitting, of course, there must also be a
"driven" element. These elements are sized for an "average" wavelength
across the TV/FM spectrum. 'nuff said!

A DX-375 was my first shortwave radio, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
The numeric keypad is used for both entering digital frequencies and for
memory presets.  The antenna has grown loose over time, however, but I
have had it since 1993.  If anyone knows of a way to tighten this antenna
I would appreciate it.

You can build the hamcomm/jvfax interface if you have a spare serial port.
Hamcomm is shareware and does most of the ham rtty/morse/etc modes, and
jvfax does slow scan TV and WEFAX. Get JVfax 7.0 or later and build the
one the has 2 caps at the input. the older version just does not work.

The trouble with this, packrat (the AEA software) and anything else is
that it is not robust enough...it JUST does HAM modes, not the many
variations thereof the are used elseware on shortwave. For those modes,
you have to go with HOKA or WAVECOM <sp?>...they cover the more obscure
modes. If only some European (as this is where a lot of these other modes

the interface for the other modes, everybody would be in relativly good

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>
Date: Thu, 29 Feb 1996 22:40:39 GMT

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.  One of my ambitions is to dx a
longwave broadcaster.  On top of that, using a loop antenna in a studio
apartment (no room or permissions for long-wires).  I actually have been
having some good results when the LW broadcast band (153-279 KHz) is not
plagued by high level buzzing noise.

Feb. 29, 0045-0145 PST brought in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on 279 KHz, using a
Bendix battery-operated radio direction finder.  The signal was barely audible
but strong enough for me to null the signal and get a 310-314 degree
heading.  Great circle calculations gave Y-S as 312 degrees bearing and 4577
miles distance.

I did notice the signal was good for an hour in the above time period.
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is a city on the south end of Sakhalin Island which is
just north of Japan.  That means it must have been around dusk or sunset for
that part of Russia.  After that one hour period, the signal faded, neve to
heard again.

So, not being familiar with LW/MW propagation, am I to assume that signals
in that part of the frequency spectrum are at their best at sunset?

For those on the west-coast of North America, 279 is a good bet...I have
also heard 153, 180, 236, and 243 as well.  If you also keep a radio tuned
to the Russian domestic shortwave frequencies (7210 KHz is a good signal),
you can actually notice the match of the programs, even if you do not
understand the Russian language.
