I once, a few years ago, borrowed a small Philips and/or Magnavox SW
digitally tuned radio.  Think the model number was AE380something.
Had two SW bands, with a gap around 8MHz.  Anyway, it had very poor
image rejection.  I'd hear the same station about 910KHz away from
where it really is.  Weaker, but not weak enough.  Must have been
a single conversion with a 455KHz IF strip.  Save some more money
and get a SW radio using double conversion.

If so what do they do with the people who can scan 800MHZ range?

	There are oodles of plans in Amateur Books, and other
	electronics sources.


	You need an oscillator (subtract the 2m frequency you want
	to RX the cell on, from the cell frequency.  This can be
	pulled from any radio circuit handbook, or from one of the
	many cookbooks on the market.

	You also need a mixer with the bandwidth that encompasses 
	the cell frequencies and 2m frequencies.  This can be
	expensive, but with carefully chosen frequencies, you may be
	able to reduce the cost. (I haven't priced them lately,
	so I don't know...)

	Attach the antenna into the input, the oscillator into
	the Local Oscillator port, and the output to the radio.

	(also you will have to worry about proper matching of antenna
	to circuit, and circuit to radio - best to wait for and
	buy a kit IMHO.)

	Those are the basics on how to do it.  I may have gotten details
	incorrect, and LOOK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE EVEN TRYING.  I don't
	think I would risk my radio worth hundreds with out checking everything.

	Any comments from those more knowlegeable than myself?

Subject:      Echo effect.

        I used to hear the echo effect on 1507kHz and I know that isn't
relayed by anyone except in the most literal sense.  BBC techies used to
say it was due to the signal reaching the receiver from multiple paths, some
of which could come from around the world.  No doubt on some frequencies the
delay effect is due to relay from a satellite, which always takes longer than
direct path via the ionosphere.  I have a feeling that many broadcasters use
a frequency to serve one area via a satellite-fed relay, and direct to
another area.  In some places there are probably multiple relays plus a
direct broadcast, if conditions are crowded enough.

I have not received my first copy of BBC Worldwide nor have I received
the October issue of London Calling (the final issue).  I did bug
Bush House by mail on October 5, but have heard nothing.  It is now
October 16.  I hope to hear something in the coming week.  I have a

   You dont say what computer platform your looking for, but since you

   MFJ does sell a non-protected version, but it requires that your call

I sent a few things to them after the e-mail address was first posted to
the net adn got several replys. I also sent them instruction on getting on
the mailing list server to get the group via mail. Lately I've tried sending
them things be am not getting any replies either. The mail does not come
back, so it is either getting delivered or falling into a black hole. The
way they answered indicated that everyone there had to share a single
account for all of Radio Habana, so I wound up simply addressing the person
I wanted in the salutation and whoever read the mail would deliver the
message.

If anyone gets through let us know.

Someone told me to look at the WRTH for 1992 - they do a review of it.
Apparently you cannot get it in the States, and if you order it from
a European shop (duty free?), after all is said and done, you pay
about $500 for it.  IMNSHO: No thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the many systems that is "out there" being
tried for use as an AM-stereo system--this works by producing two SSB full
carrier signals about the same carrier, one carrying the left and one carrying
the right channel.  However, if this system were applied with just one of the
two sidebands, I think it would probably cut in half the amount of bandwidth
needed for a given station.  That could either be used to double the audio
bandwidth to 10KHz or split in half the radio bandwidth used to 5KHz.  Could
be particularly useful on SW :)

I was wondering if anyone out there knows anythings about the following
callsigns:     

foxtrot tango--I heard this used on 11191 kHz which I beleive is a U.S.
   Navy frequency.  Other callsigns used were  NATO trigraphs (i.e. 
   alpha one bravo, usually letter-number letter).  Later on I heard 
   or I believe I heard foxtrot tango used a year later on 8967 an USAF
   GHFS frequency according to a recent Monitoring Times article.

ice07--I heard this callsign used on 8997 kHz.  This frequency is listed
   as being used by the U.S. Navy in Antarctica in Grove's Shortwave
   Directory.  Does anyone know specifically what ice07 (and ice05 which
   some mistaked ice07 for over the radio) refers to?

Finally I was wondering if anyone know of any Volmets on frequency 13285 kHz.
I heard something that sounded like a Volmet on that frequency.  It was
broadcasting in English before 50 past the hour, and swithed to Mandarin
(I think) after 50 past the hour. "Beijing" was mentions, I think as one 
of the locations for the weather info.  The signal was very weak and barely
intelligible here in Southern California.

OK, I'm sold, so when do we get the pre-publication offer?  For those with less
money than things to spend it on, that is.

I'm thinking of buying a KENWOOD TS-450SAT.  I'd greatly appreciate
recommendations for a reputable mail order supplier.  I'm willing to pay more 
for a rig in an un-opened box.  Please send email.  Thanks in advance. -AR
