I thought I had read that WRNO was the first commercial shortwave
station in the US.  I have a back issue of Pop Com that has an article
about WRNO.  I'll read it again and get back to you.

I always thought HCJB gave a lot of emphasis to Latin American news --
I heard info from them that never showed up in US media.

Of course, I'm no expert in the field, so it may be that there are
better sources. HCJB was the only one I ever listened to with any
regularity... (Back a few years ago, they would have a Latin America-
emphasis newscast right before some of the DX Party Line airings.)

I haven't listened to HCJB to any extent in recent months, though...

Has anyone heard anything more from Radio Luxemburg which was on 15350 KhZ?
Their English service was supposed to have been tekan off the air on the
30th of december. I think a German station was going to take over. Does
anyone know the fate of this station?

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.

Other way around. ECSS can be just as automatic as synchro, and is usually
thought of as one of the many forms of synchronous detection. It should
be kept in mind that synchronous detection is a pretty mature technology
in communications, it's only relatively new to consumer SW receivers. There
is a lot of information about synchro, and radio design in general at your
local University level engineering library. The math may be a bit steep
for some, but in principle any scientist or engineer should be able to cope
at some level.

After many years of faithful service, my GE super radio has

departed this earthly world.  Now, the question is, what to replace

it with.  My need is simple, I want the best FM radio which is

reasonably similar in size to the GE Super Radio.  I have a Sony

2010, for AM and Short Wave listening.  I find it's FM reception

horrible.  I also have a small Sony, the one which retails for

about $45, step up step down electronic tuning.  While it's OK when

traveling, the overload is unacceptable at home.



My friends, dip into that vast river of your collective wisdom and

help this lost FM listener find a radio which will provide me the

quality of reception of the GE.  I have heard differing reports

about the new GE Super Radio.  Please E-Mail your ideas, or post

them here.

My R-70 frequency synthesisor seems to suffer from extremely long
locktime whenever it makes the transition from 1.4 to 1.5 khz on
a 100 khz boundary e.g. 10.101.4 mhz to 10.101.5 mhz, 11.501.4 to
11.501.5 mhz, etc. This is the problem on AM mode; other modes may
affect different boundary conditions as the microprocessor will
shift the frequency display rather than adjust the LO frequency.
This manifests itself as the receiver moving way off of frequency
at the boundary condition, then slowly reseting itself to the
proper frequency.

Any ideas as to the cause and cure? I loath to spend more mucho
dinaro to get it repaired, as the last repair job costed $150...

I have a Sony ICF-2010 portable receiver for sale.  It is about a year
old, and has only had mild use.  I still have the accessories and the
instructions for it.  It really is a nifty radio...I just don't seem
to have the time to use it.  I am very reluctant to give up this radio!

I paid about $375 for it at a local retail store.  I have seen prices
in catalogs ranging from $360 to $395.

I am asking $250 for it.  However, please feel free to send your offers
to me via email.  I will ship it to you if necessary...however, I
would certainly prefer to sell it to someone who could come pick it
up and pay cash.

This enables an AM radio to receive shortwave.  I don't believe that it
works on radios that have digital readouts, so I did not get one.

I listened to R. Prague International on 7345 Jan. 1st. 18-1900 UTC in
eng and french, and at 2200 UTC on 6055. It did not sound as though they
were dancing in the streets over the dissolution of Czechoslovakia; mostly
they played "The Moldau" from Smetana's _Ma Vlast_. They said that a new R.
Slovakia Intl would come into being. Presumably this will be from
Bratislava.

As to what the new country is called, I heard Czechia on Radio Moscow; R.
Prague calls it The Czech Republic.

I got one some time ago.  It hetrodynes SW frequencies down to a range
of 540-1600KHz, so you can use your car radio to listen to SW.  Problem is
that it has no way to reject images, or even which is the signal of
interest, and which is the image.  Example: You want to tune something
at 9690KHz.  You build the kit, and install a 9MHz crystal in the osc
circuit.  Kit hetrodynes the station down to 690KHz, and you tune the
AM radio to 690 to hear the 9690KHz SW station.  Fine so far.  but what
if there is something at 8310KHz?  You will also hear this along with the
desired station at the same time.  And maybe get "birdies" as the two
stations fight it out in your AM radio.  Only solution is to build a
filter to supress the 8310KHz stuff, in front of the kit.  This is
what a radio's front end does before hetrodyning to an IF freq.
Basically, the AM car radio is acting as a tunable "IF" strip, and
the kit's osc circuit is set to one freq.  Other than this rather
serious image problem, the kit did work.

W-e-e-l-l, sortuv.  Every owner of a TV receiver in the UK is
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
obliged by law to have a television licence (or 'license' if you
insist!).  This costs about $120 a year, is collected by the
Government, and most of the money raised goes to the BBC.  It's not
nearly enough, of course, and there are TV 'detector vans' out to try
and find the defaulters - TV without licence means T-R-O-U-B-L-E!  BBC
Publications has gone very commercial, recently, in an attempt to
boost funds, and there is some (quite a lot, I suppose - no figures to
hand ) government money going in there as well.  Pressure to go
commercial has so far been resisted, thank God, but I'm worried as to
whether the Corporation can hold out for much longer.

It used to be called a wireless licence, by the way, and every radio
listener needed one.  Now 'ordinary' radio is excluded - just the TV
owners get clobbered.  So we should, of course; fabulous value for
less than $3 per week!  And one licence covers (within reason) all the
TVs in a house.

I listened to R. Prague International on 7345 Jan. 1st. 18-1900 UTC in
eng and french, and at 2200 UTC on 6055. It did not sound as though they
were dancing in the streets over the dissolution of Czechoslovakia; mostly
they played "The Moldau" from Smetana's _Ma Vlast_. They said that a new R.
Slovakia Intl would come into being. Presumably this will be from
Bratislava.

As to what the new country is called, I heard Czechia on Radio Moscow; R.
Prague calls it The Czech Republic.
