I sent the following note to SIGNALS@PORTAL.COM yesterday and perhaps I 
should wait longer for an answer before posting to the net, but I'm eager 
to get hold of a copy, so I thought I'd better post in the hopes that
someone will hold onto an aircheck that might otherwise be erased, just in 
case that's my only option.  

--------

            I'm an occasional listener, so forgive me if the answer is 
        well-known by anyone who listens regularly . . . 

            On 11/22/'92  at 4:49  UTC I tuned in just as "The  George 
        Bush Mix"  aired.   (I'm guessing that the name is "The George 
        Bush  Mix"   because  when  it was  over  the announcer  asked 
        rhetorically  of  the composer when we might  hear  "The  Bill 
        Clinton Mix".) 

            It was masterfully done.   Unfortunately, I  wasn't taping 
        at the time.   So,  (1)  is it going to be rebroadcast and (2) 
        can I get a tape of it? 

            Thanks much.

18 November 1992

NEXUS-INTERNATIONAL  BROADCASTING  ASSOCIATION  IS   LOOKING  FOR
SHORTWAVE OR MEDIUM WAVE (AM) STATIONS IN THE FORMER TERRITORY OF
THE USSR, AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN EASTERN EUROPE WHO WOULD LIKE TO
RELAY RADIO PROGRAMS ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS, AND MAY BE ABLE TO
COVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN EUROPE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS.

   NEXUS-IBA   is   a   strictly   non-profit,   non-commercial
   Association  chartered according  to  the  Italian  law. Our
   current broadcasts consists of  news items as well  as music
   and  our  weekly  SW  Listeners'  mailbag  programme ("Hello
   There"). All programmes beamed to Europe from Milano, Italy,
   and are transmitted  over  our  station  'IRRS-Shortwave' in
   English, French, Spanish, Russian and Yugoslavian.

   NEXUS-IBA charter guarantees free access to our broadcasting
   media on FM and SW to all individuals and/or organizations.
   All  of  NEXUS-IBA's members  pay  a  share  of  our overall
   running costs,  based on the actual usage of  airtime on our
   stations.  We  are totally donation  driven  for a financial
   base   and  entirely   volunteer  driven  for  all   of  the
   operational   infrastructure:    including  our  announcers,
   programmers,   computer  and  HF   engineers,  monitors  and
   frequency consultants.  We are leaders in station automation
   and digital sound broadcasting,  and  would  offer technical
   assistance,  consulting   and  technology  transfer  to  all
   participating stations.

If you know of,  or are in contact with,   any Shortwave or MW/AM
station who would like into a re-broadcasting agreement  with our
organization,   please   contact   us.   Since   other   ways  of
communications  with  Eastern  Europe  are  still  expensive  and
unreliable,  we  do  prefer  and encourage the use  of electronic
mail. Shortwave stations from other areas outside Europe may also
enquire, providing details on their coverage area.

I suppose the Signals / Radio Collection people haven't responded to this
thread because it would be considered advertising if they did it, but
since I'm not affiliated with them I can do it legitimately... :-)

Radio Collection has been selling off 1992 WRTHs at $13.95 postpaid as per
offers announced in recent broadcasts of the Signals program on WWCR
(0435 UTC Sundays on 7435 kHz).  Personally, I find that a rather high
price for the old issue of the WRTH; I've previously publicly stated that I
believe the price should be half-retail by the middle of the year, when the
published schedules run out, and drop to a quarter-retail or less when the
next edition comes out, and then down to a nominal price (like $1) after
that...  But then I'm not in the business and am speaking as a consumer. 

So if you really want a 1992 WRTH, call or write the Radio Collection.

    The Radio Collection
    Box 149, Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510
    914/923-1862

As for the 1993 WRTH, Grove is currently taking orders at (I think) $15.95
postpaid for a pre-publication deal, to be charged now and shipped in
January. They get the float, you get the WRTH ASAP... Unless I see a 
better deal shortly, I'll probably order one from them. See the ad in
the current MT.

I'm posting these questions for a more technologically astute friend who

understand the questions!

1) Could ferrite toroids by Amidon (FT-82-75) with high permeability
(5000) be used to build a low pass audio filter with cut-off frequency of
3 kHz (-3dB)?  Specified resonant circut frequency is 1 kHz - 1 MHz for
this material.

2.) What kind of balun is used in professional dipole set-up, for
listening only?  Is it voltage or current 1:1 type?

  A few days ago I was tuning thru HF & on 7709USB heard a Bob Seger song.
At first, I thought I just found a feeder, but after listening some more, I
decided that either the transmitter was very sick, or the Bob Seger record
was quite warped!

     I continued to listen, & finally realized someone was singing it
'live.'  I started to think that the person singing --although he knew the
complete lyrics-- was somewhat retarded, due to how he pronounced some of
the lyrics.
 
  After he finished the song, he started conversing with someone else on the
freq -- in Cantonese.
 
     I've decided that these poor, bored Chinese guys are cooped up on fishing
vessels somewhere with an HF radio & one or two cassettes of U.S. music.
 
 
   It is one of the funniest things I've ever heard, & they were there again
this morning at about 0200Z, so listen for them!

I just wanted to thank the kind people who responded to my question
about Medium Wave QSLing.  I will probably go ahead and try it now!
I am ordering a 1993 WRTH and when I get it, I can tell more about
these stations I'm sure, but for now, its kind of neat, just tuning
around the dial and waiting for some "clues" as to the whereabouts
of the station I'm picking up!  I'm learning to listen for commercials
and around the top of the hour to get clues or hopefully, station
ID's and locations.
Thanks go to the following who helped me:

To "fake" a balun, I used a "Snap together toroid choke core" from Radio
Shack, Part # 273-104. A friend of mine hooked it up to a spectrum
analyzer, and we found that it had less than 1 dB of loss over the
entire SW spectrum! So, I highly recommend this approach.
  The ARRL Amateur Radio Handbook has the circuit for a homemade balun.
Basically, if you are only using it to receive, the RS choke core
should serve you very well.

This discussion brings up something that I have often wondered about and am now
prompted to ask.

Is IONCAP in the public domain?  I know it costs $$$ from NTIS.  But I wonder
if the program being a product of the US government is free from copyright,
etc.  Is it OK to distribute it on a not for profit basis?  If so, wouldn't it
be nice to have it FTPable from somewhere.  Anyone have it to make available? 
If not, how about taking up a collection?  Last I checked (it's been a while)
the PC version was only $100 or so.

FYI - shipment is via UPS - so the book is going for about $10.95 on average,

In reference to item #2, Some SRIII's are less sensitive than the SRII, and
some perform just like the SRII, but I've never heard a SRIII out perform the
SRII. The capabilities seem to be there (for a good performing radio) but
it seems that there is a serious quality control problem. You just don't know
what you'll get when you open the box.

When I put in an electric fan with dimmer, I had to buy the expensive
variety of dimmer switch, made by Hunter, to avoid fan noise radiating all
over the place, including an audible buzz from the fan motor.
This switch has a light dimmer and fan control on one plate, about $27.00.

Some day the designers of dimmers and switches will be required to use
"zero crossing switches", that is, switches that only turn on and off
at the moment in the cycle  when the AC current is very nearly zero.
The result is no current surge, and no RFI. Alas, that day has not
yet come...
