These were the two names that I thought of too, although I find Gene
occasionally to be excessively strident, even arrogant, in standing
up for his principles.

I don't get to listen to DB much, since my exposure to talk radio is
generally limited to work hours (which usually don't go too far beyond
7PM ;-).  If I am around and the radio is on, it's usually tuned to
HDH anyway.  I used to like listening to Bruce Williams, but his
tendency to be condescending and impatient with some of the (more 
naiive) callers gets annoying real quick.

As for Rush, well, I'd put up with his partisanship and 
self-aggrandizement for the sake of hearing him skewer some 
sacred cows, but he sounds more and more like a broken record 
lately - maybe I've just reached my saturation level.

[Moderator Notes:  I still miss Bob Lassiter, the great American antidote to
Rush, who was fired from WLS last year.  I got an address for him and have
written a letter inviting him to join the mailing list for the Internet Radio
Journal.  We'll see if he responds.  Bill]

That's CIAO -- they have ethnice programming, including Italian.  Hence
the pronunciation.  I'm working without documentation here, but I think
their frequencies are 790 and 530.  They're in the process of moving
frlom the former to the latter.  City of license i Brampton, Ontario, I
think.

This isn't the first canadian station on 530... Before CIAO was a
station in Fort Erie, Ontario, right across the border from Buffalo.
Someone will remember the call letters.  They left 530 when they went
FM.  They were heard everywhere; I hear CIAO on occasion here in Eastern
North Carolina.

I've heard CJFT/CIAO down here in SC-not well, but you could make out the

to 530 AM after the battery died and I had to get it jumped plus the

Recently while doing some late night "BC DXing" with a new hot car radio 
I have been hearing a station on 530 kHz.  On alternate nights it seems
to be in French or English.  The French version never seems to have any
comercials or ID.  Then again my French isn't all it might be.

The English versions has an ocasional spot and IDs on the hour as 
"chow 740 (??)" where chow is pronounced as a word, and on the quarter 
hour as "chow 530".

Both signals seem relativly strong and fade free here in the Eastern 
MA area.  I have been able to copy it quite easily as I drive home 
in the early morning (0200 to 0500 local).

What is going on here?  Have the Canidians laid claim to one more channal?
I thought 530 and 1610 were reserved for travlers aid type limit area 
broadcasting.  

What kind of arangement would allow shifting format and language on alternate
days?  Or has propagation been playing some weird trick these last couple 
weeks!

Hello,

I've been a college dj for 6 years (WRST-FM Oshkosh and WMSE-FM Milwaukee),
and a "commercial" dj for one (WNAM-AM Neenah and WUSW-Oshkosh US96).

Could any programmers/talent suggest ways to improve voice quality,
articulation, clearness, etc.  I had braces when I was younger, and had them
taken off a few years ago.  Since then, I've noticed a laziness in my
speaking, and some sounds do not "come out right."  Certain letters give me
more trouble than others, especially the "s".  It's not a lisp or anything,
just a lot more pronounced than it should be, and with mic processing, it
really booms through.

So, can anyone suggest ways to clear up speech, ie tapes, books, lessons,
etc.  I enjoy broadcasting and hate to give it up because of a few little
speech problems.  Thanks much.  Either reply to the net, or me personally.

The careful listener would have been scared off by a change in their
commercial that occurred about a month or two ago.  The original ad was:

M: You know what that means in Spanish?
W: S O C K S?
M: It means, 'That's what I want'!
W: Wow, Spanish is easy!

Someone apparently tipped them off, since the line has been changed to:

M: It means, 'That's what it is'!

It's fairly easy to detect that this was dubbed in, but the witty
tie-in at the end of the ad ('If learning a language is what YOU want') 
remains.

Of course, having studied a language for ten years (German), I find 
the notion that tapes full of such tricks would actually impart much
real fluency laughable.

  The  booklet  "Medium Wave Stations logged 15 June 1991 - 14 June
  1992  in  Finland, Norway & Sweden" says that CKHL High Level, AB
  had  been heard just once in these countries during that time. It
  was  heard  by  the  dx-pedition number 56 in Lemmenjoki, Finnish
  Lapland.  No other NA station was logged on the frequency of  530

   Fine, but please try to have a bit of an inquiring mind.  We can no
more do a controlled trial of RF radiation than we can do a controlled trial
of 
cigarette smoking.  Because of the lack of controlled trials in humans, the 
Tobacco Institute continues to insist that "Causal statistical anomolies

If the 3000 is ANYTHING like the 2500, it's JUNK. I have owned over
25 scanners/receivers of many makes, and this one was the pits. It's
subject to severe intermod on almost every band, pick's up everything
but the local channel! Does very poorly reception wise. I used a 3
element beam, cut for 33 Mz, that has done a fine job working skip on
my other units. It would not receive, what my 200XLT, and the PRO-34
were receiving, one with a ground plane, and one with an in-door
antenna! And let's talk service. I have invested over $25.00 in calls
to the selling dealer (ACE), attempting to obtain the recorder cable,
that is suppose to come with it. Over 9 months, and no cable. the last
time I was told they had to "make one up". I guess they must use spare
parts and hand build each unit. The software for the computer control
does do what it's suppose to, but of course you have to receive some-
thing for it to log. (That's normal....) This is the worst unit I have
ever owned since the old Tentac (I'm not even sure that's spelled right,
I owned one in 1979ish)

Good Luck.....

Thirdhand (or worse): general concensus is that it's an excellent rig,
with special value for those who opt for computer control of their scanning.

   January 21, 1993 6236 kHz USB around 0500 UTC.
I tuned to the above station and heard the USCG Cutter Galleton(?) working
with 1717. The cutter would give 1717 a set of co-ordinates and a course.
Sounded like this:
   1717 this is Coast Guard Cutter Galleton
   Cutter Galleton this is 17
   17 this is Galleton I have two alpha contacts for you.
       (ship's radio operator would then read of the co-ord. and course
        for each contact and call each one contact #16 or #17...)

   All of these co-ords. were within 75 miles of Port Au Prince. Later
1717 called in to ask if contact #15 had lights. 1717 (female) was told
that it was a radar contact. Since CG aircraft are numbered like 1717
this sounds like a ship and aircraft team looking for boat people.
   After leaving the radio for a couple of hours I came back to hear 
a different callsign which was identifying itself as 1719 ( the cutter
continued to call it 1717) And the cutter notifying 1717/1719 that it
was headed back to Gitmo(Guantanimo Bay).
   Sounds like Haiti to me. Am I wrong?

These are available from Ramsey electronics (no surprise there) and marketed
