I spoke to the people at Universal about an hour ago, and they said
they were expecting them next week.  The WRTH Equipment Buying Guide
should be arriving at the same time.

It sounds like the book is on target better than last year.  The
first week of January has been the rough arrival date as long as I
can remember (ever since I started buying them in 1977), give or
take a week or so.

	I have a Realistic model DX-160 shortwave receiver that I have
used for many years.  It has been a good general receiver up until
now.  After about 1 hour of use the unit goes completely dead.  If
I let the unit cool down for about 10 minutes it will operate again
for about 1 hour. I suspect a power supply problem, (I seem to recall
someone else with the same problem) but have misplaced the original manual that
had the schematic of the unit on the last page.  Is there anyone which
has the manual who is willing to copy the schematic page??

I've dealt with EEB a number of times, been to their showroom about
a half-dozen times, and I've had mixed experiences with them.  At
times, I've had knowledgable conversations with people who work
there; on other occasions, I've gotten blank stares when asking
simple questions about equipment they carry.  To my mind, the
quality of the service there depends on the luck of the draw.  When
they're good, they're very very good.  When they're bad, they're
near-useless.  But if you get someone bad, it's not too hard to find
someone who knows what they're talking about; they do have *some*
there.

Universal, on the other hand, seems to have salespeople who *all*
know their stuff.  The difference, I suppose, between having your
friends come in on weekends as you say EEB does, and hiring
full-time professionals, as Universal seems to do.  I've talked to
people who know their stuff at both EEB and Universal (and Gilfer,
too.)  The difference is that I've never talked to anyone who didn't
know their stuff at Universal or Gilfer, and I have at EEB, more
than once.

Universal and Gilfer both have well-stocked showrooms staffed with
knowledgable people as well.  I agree that everyone should be so
lucky as to have one of the full-service hobbyist stores nearby.  I
wouldn't recommend avoiding EEB or anything; they're certainly in
the top-rung of stores.  But in an industry where service is the
differentiating factor instead of price, by and large, you can do
better than EEB.

Is the Sony SW 77 worth the extra price? Although the SONY ICF 2010
has been around for some time, is it a better buy then the SW 55?

I would also like to know where I can get ahold of these radios for
a good price. If this is covered in a FAQ, please direct me to it.

Although this is unlikely, has anyone been able to log Radio TV Malaysia

From 1970s edition of The DX Party Line on HCJB in Quito, Ecuador,

                    DX'ers Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and I was in bed,
not a signal was stirring: the bands were all dead.
An eight foot long stocking was hung: quite a trick,
next to the chimney to fit a joystick.

Old Charlie was snuggled up tight in his bed,
and visions of fairies danced in my head.
I wore a new night-cap, I looked rather slick
with built-in headphones: I don't miss a trick.

When up on the roof there rose such a racket,
like my sixty-foot tower had slipped from its bracket.
I ran to the window and opened it wide,
I shivered and peered intently outside.

Moonlight on the crest of the new-fallen snow,
disclosed a terrible sight down below.
A twisted antenna and eight tiny deer,
and a little old driver with a beard down to here.

He twisted and shouted so furiously
while busily trying his reindeer to free.
My tower I realized quicker than quick
had just shot down an ex-jolly St. Nick.

I held my head and was calling my lawyer,
when a begrudged Santa burst into my foyer.
His eyes hardly glittered as he muttered a threat,
I'll sue you Lauden-Boomer, I'll get you yet.

Red-faced with rage was the chubby old fellow,
he shook when he yelled like a bowl full of jellow.
A piece of antenna wire clenched tight in his teeth,
while threats seemed to circle his head like a wreath.

With placating words I gave him a sandwich and punch,
which he ate very quickly: him being without lunch.
Then still complaining that I was a jerk
he went straight to the chimney and started to work.

No joystick for you he said with a hoot,
and filled up my stocking with ashes and soot.
Then landing a clout alongside my nose
and giving a nod up the chimney he rose.

He sprang to his reindeer now untangled,
but from one runner my antenna dangled.
He shouted out clearly S9 reception,
Merry Christmas to all with just ONE exception.

And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight...
Wait till next year Charlie, I'll fix you alright.

I have heard this as well and find it puzzling.  I tuned it on 25,870 kHz AM

I suggest modifying an existing radio that you have the schematic. Basically
you need to tap the output of the FM demodulator (discriminator). I use
a small capacitor (approx 50 to 100 pF) to tap this signal. I then send it
out the radio via coax cable into the antenna input of a receiver capable
of tuning below 100khz. If you are listening to broadcast band SCA, then
the second receiver will need to have an FM demodulator. I use an NRD525
or 535 for this purpose. If you are listening to military wideband FM, then you 
will need to put the second receiver in SSB mode.

Good luck!

I just ordered my copy today from my local distributor....I called the
publisher (2 blocks from where I work) but they sent me to this retailer.
They have it in stock (got it yesterday) and will mail it to me next
week. The cost is $19.95 + $2 s/h plus local sales tax.

I found this in our ONLINE encyclopedia.  Apparently the origin of
'HAM' is still unclear.


  HAM RADIO
  in
  Academic American Encyclopedia (database on UTCAT PLUS system).
  Danbury, CT: Grolier Electronic Publishing, October, 1992 update.

  Data (c) 1991, Grolier Electronic Publishing.

HAM RADIO

Amateur, or "ham," radio, a noncommercial system of
communication, is as old as the medium of RADIO itself.  The
origin of the term ham radio is unknown.  Many important
communications discoveries have been made by hams.  Amateurs,
for example, perfected the single sideband (SSB) mode, now
widely used by the military, after World War II;  in the late
1970s, three hams developed the revolutionary new system of
narrow-band voice modulation (NBVM).  Both systems offer
dramatic improvements over AMPLITUDE MODULATION (AM) and
FREQUENCY MODULATION (FM) for long-distance voice communication
and have increased the number of stations that can use a given
portion of the crowded radio spectrum (see TELECOMMUNICATIONS).

Ham radio is mainly a hobby to most participants, but amateurs
are perhaps best known for the emergency communications they
provide during hurricanes, floods, and other disasters until
regular communications are restored.  Communications are sent
primarily by voice or by International MORSE CODE.  A number of
small communications satellites--the Oscar series--are reserved
for amateur use.  The FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS for amateur radio
were first designated by international treaty in 1927 and are
shared with other users.

To obtain an operating license, an amateur must pass a written
exam in radio regulations and basic radio technology.  The
ability to use Morse code was once also required of all
amateurs, but a new class called "codeless technician" has been
added to the other four license classes.

The leading organization of amateurs in the United States and
Canada, the American Radio Relay League based in Newington,
Conn., was founded in 1914 by Hiram Percy Maxim and Clarence
Tuska and has more than 150,000 members.

I read the definitive explanation of this somewhere (which I would
give credit to if I could remember where).  WFLA uses this frequency
to cue its reporter in a traffic helicopter.  The station has been
widely reported in recent months (although I haven't heard it
myself, not that I've tried or anything radical like that....)
