The FAQ mentions a database about SW programming available from Tom
Sundstrom of Pinelands BBS.  I'd like to know more about the databse.
What's the price?  How often is it updated?  Does RBase work with the
format used by Pinelands (DBase III)?  I'd like to hear how well people
like this database service.

Also I'm wondering about Pinelands and other BBS's.  What are these
like?  Thanks for any info...

from Okeechobee FL.  They're on several frequencies, always strong.
What I can't figure is that the _same_guy_ is always talking on this

HF as a broadcast medium is not going away. Wolf Blitzer and Arnold Schwarzkopf
are the only guys I know of who pack satellite dishes when they go overseas.


The target of most of the big services has changed. Instead of the third-
world peasant, the target listener is the citizen of the broadcasting
country who happens to be overseas on business or vacation. Most of these
guys can afford to pay for things like broadcast schedules.

The CBC said as much when they resurrected RCI.

Accessible DX from the NW US leaves something to be desired a lot of the time,
but if you get out of town on a warm summer night, there's still enough
going on in the world to make interesting DX.

On the East Coast, of course, it's much better. I just wish I had as much time
for SWL as I did in 1972.

Since my 2010 display seemed to be off by about 100Hz, I was inspired to
calibrate the tuner after reading Mike Shcuster's posting.  I have a few
additional comments.

Well.  I found the metal "sync unit" case.  However, the closest pot was
not the correct one.  The closest pot (on my radio) is inboard from the
sync unit case, and I couldn't discern what happened when I tweaked it,
and I didn't see any label on it.  (What DID it do?)  It was a round pot
covered with blue plastic with a philips slot, not like the square
metal-can pots with flat-head screwdriver slots.  Anyway, there was
another of these round blue philips pots, a bit further from the sync
unit, which was labeled "u/l adj" on the board.  It was right in the
corner of the board by the big tuning knob.

Silly note:
In order to do this adjustment, you need some kind of antenna
connection, and you lose contact from the whip when you take the radio
apart, so make sure you have a signal coming in (the plug-in connector
should work, but I spaced out and pulled this before I started, and
then took my antenna wire and touched it to the antenna pad on the
board.  Probably not necessary).

I used WWV and local AM stations, using the sync lights to sync.

Trying to keep the AA batteries in place with the box apart is a trick.
Just tape them down, though this is not as simple as it should be.
Also, getting the sliders (volume, rf gain, and hi/lo/news) in sync when
replacing the board is messy part of this hack.  It won't sproing apart,
but it takes luck or skill or patience to get it right.

I certainly agree that Sony should fix it to make it possible to
make this adjustment without opening the radio.

DAK did, in fact, declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy some months ago, but has
been managing to keep in business.  Basically, a lot of the suppliers and
other companies dealing with DAK have decided to continue doing so,
figuring that keeping DAK in business will get them (the creditors) more
of their money than putting DAK out of business.

However, if you look at the filings and how much variou sgroups were owed,
and how much different groups were paid since the filing, it starts to
look a bit strange.

SO, the recommendation: pay by credit card (which most people would do,
anyway.)  This way, you can block the charge if you don't get the product
or service.  (minor caveat: there is some sort of strange limit, where if
you live within ?100? miles of the company, but I doubt this would apply here)

Mine came yesterday (Jan 5.) I waited to call in my order until December
28th just so the lag time between charging and shipping would not be
that long... I think this year they were letting the pre-pub orders go
on later than in preceeding years, but the only place I recall seeing
the announcement that the pre-pub price was good to 12/31/92 was in the
Grove catalog, in a footnote to the WRTH listing in there... I don't

Another Casio report for all you SWL price-performance fans. You guys with
enough money to buy Yaesus and Lowes and Icoms move along to the next post.


Finally got my Casio radio back to Virginia to compare to my DX-440. It is
significantly more sensitive, though this is partly due to the DX-440's
lousy audio filters.

It is sensitive enough to be truly portable, meaning I can stick it in a
jacket pocket, pull out the whip, tune it, and walk down the street
listening, without having to worry about how I am holding the radio or
whether I have it plugged into a wall socket.

On the East Coast, anyway. As previously observed, my experience in two
urban areas in the western US was different.

The squelch circuit used for band scanning doesn't seem to be quite
sensitive enough to avoid manual tuning, which is important, since there
is no knob.

The keypad is still holding up.

Hello,

All this talk of the GE Super Radio II reminds me of something I saw sometime
back (possibly in an NRC publication).  I seem to remember someone modifying
a SRII in a manner that transformed it into an "Active Ferrite Core Loop" to
be used as an antenna for other receivers.  With a ferrite loop costing over
$100.00 from various sources, I'm surprized this isn't more common. It would
be great if it was switchable such that the SRII could be used as an amplified
loop and with the flip of a switch, an excellent BCB rx.  Anybody else heard
of this?

Combined with similar news from Canada and elsewhere, this makes me
wonder how much importance governments now put on shortwave
broadcasting.  In North America very few people seem to use it as a
"normal" medium, as evidenced by the attention paid to the DX hobby on
the English-language services.  During the cold war, shortwave was
treated as a potent propaganda tool, which is how Cuba still treats it.
I gather that shortwave is still important on a daily basis in many
parts of the world, but I wonder if it is losing support.  Does anyone
try to monitor audience sizes and so forth?  If this medium exists only
for DX hobbyists, it loses its real reason for being: as an open-access
medium of international communication.  I see nothing to replace it for
this function, since such media as satellite FM and TV will be by nature
much more mainstream, big-budget, and corporate (and there's less chance
of receiving things intended for another audience).

Somewhat related question: how and why does UK pay for a service as
gigantic as the BBC!?  I don't see the payoff for the sponsors; it must
cost plenty.

        can see the response.

The various headers are quite confusing and I am not quite sure
what each one means, so that I can't take info from them to resend
as an address.
Can you help me out in these matters?

Thanks

I've been away from this group for a while and I'm seeing a lot of talk
about the Lowe HF-150.  I don't have it listed in any of the 5 or 6
month old catalogs that I have.

So how much does it cost?  And who's selling them?  

Thanks.
