    You have to buy it.  It's $5.95 from RDI, unfortunately I don't
    have their phone number or address near at hand.  I'll see if
    I can dig it up.

Organization: University of Lausanne - CH (Switzerland)

Hi everybody,

My name is Mauro Stevanin, I'm brazilian and I live in Switzerland.

I'd like to intercept some programs of my home town radio station ("Radio
Gaucha"). I was told I can do it on 49 meter (6.020) or 25 meters (11.915) short
waves. I've tried with my radio set (a small one) but I've got nothing.

Can anybody get this radio station ? If so, where from and with what radio set ?

Do you know what radio should I have to be able to listen to this radio
broadcasts ? 

Thank you for any help.

I hope someone in Canada can bring us up to date on this, but when
I left in November there were ongoing hearings before the CRTC on just
this question. The short answer is that there are no Christian only broadcasters
in Canada because the CRTC hasn't licensed any. With satellites, cable, etc.
they have now invited applications from groups wanting to set up religious
broadcasting stations and are considering what to do about them.

Subject: Yet Another What Should I Buy posting
Summary: Under $250US world-band radios
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 16:45:15 GMT
Organization: Hewlett-Packard Company / Boise, Idaho


Hello,

    I want to get in to this short-wave listening hobby...

    I would like to buy an introductory radio, in the under-$250US range
(street pricing), for powerhouse station listening, reception of the
Voice of Turkey (my wife is Turkish -- I have to keep her interested in
a radio purchase :-), and general band-scanning.  After having read this
group for some time, I have found a great deal of good advice, and would
now like to compare the relative merits of the different features available,
and the radios in my price range.  If I am missing any important features,
or overlooking certain radios, please let me know.  I intend to post a
summary of all responses.

    The features that I am looking at are:

	Primarily:
	    Digital frequency synthesis
	    Continuous coverage
	    VFO knob (for easier searching)
	    External Antenna input

	Secondarily:
	    BFO/SSB/CW reception
		(can SSB be received without a BFO?)
	    Tone controls

    Some radios I am considering:	(please add to my list)
	Sangean ATS-808/Realistic DX-380
	Sangean ATS-818/Realistic DX-390?	(+has BFO, tone controls)
	Sony ICF-SW7600				(-no VFO knob, +has SSB)
	Panasonic RF-B65			(+has SSB (?BFO?))

    I have read much about the Sangean radios, and have a Radio Shack
nearby so I can go play with them in person, but the Sony and Panasonic
I know very little about.  The Sony would be ideal if it had a VFO knob
for tuning.  (That's important to me for some reason..  My father has a
Sony ICF-2001(?) that has only pushbutton tuning, and I find that user
interface too restrictive and tiring.  I guess I like the mechanical
feel of a real tuning knob.)

    I have heard nothing at all about the Panasonic, just what I have
read in catalogs.  Anyone out there recommend it?

    Finally, once I choose a radio, where should I buy it from?  I see
most of my choices in the J&R Music World catalog (I have had good results
when ordering from them in the past).  Are there any favorite mail-order
places out there?  (We don't have much in the way of electronics stores
here in Idaho.)

    Thanks for any help.

Well my NRD 525 and 535D will do this. Also my Kenwood R5000 will too. The Icom
R71A can be tricked into doing it as well.

Tough to find? Maybe we should say easy to find but you will have to spend
at least $500 to $600 to do it (on a used one that is).

This is not a simple power/distance ratio.  The ionosphere reflects signals
with varying degrees of efficiency.  At times, even very powerful 
transmitters
cannot be heard at your particular location, and at other times, even a few
watts can provide a strong signal.  It just depends on the state of the 
ionosphere\

Longwires make suitable *transmitting* antennas if they are long enough; 
usually 4 wavelengths at least to have as much gain as a dipole.  A tuning 
device between the transmitter and
antenna is usually required to adjust for impedance differences.  The 
diameter of the wire is theoretically a factor, but as a practical matter it's not that important.  Any wire capable of supporting its own weight will work 
ok.  For *reception*, wire diameter is even less important.  Practically anything will work ok; the longer and higher the wire, the better.

   If you want to receive SSB signals (like the ones Hams use), then
fine tuning is a must (I personally think 100 Hz is too coarse for
SSB).  If your radio can only tune in 5 kHz steps, then I doubt it
even has the necessary BFO to receive SSB.

   Remember, there's a lot more out there on shortwave than just AM
broadcasters.

I work nights, although sometimes I actually sleep, and I listen to
Radio Australia a lot on 9580 (I think, my radio isn't digital), I can
also usually get them on 5995 but it's more likely to have noise or and
interference.  It's partly just the idea that signal is coming all the
way from Australia instead of via a relay.  I don't always listen so
closely that I could recall very many details, except for maybe when
Science File is on, and maybe a few other times.  Some of their music
programs are neat too.

Yep -- I've used the "station stalker" (an indoor active antenna)
from DAK, and although it was a decent performer (especially if
you take the price into consideration!) it was just too flimsy
for my tastes.  I managed to break mine *upon opening the package*
but fortunately, DAK took it back without batting an eye, and 
refunded my money.  For the improvements noted, I'd recommend
anyone who has *ANY* ability to hang an outdoor antenna should
do that instead.  a 25 foot tuned randomwire performed just as
well at my location.  
  Of course, if you have *NO* way to hang an outdoor antenna,
at least this active antenna isn't as bad as most (but for that
durability problem....)

Hi Eric!
	I have done similar things in the past, and think I remember this
particular RE article.  (I'd like to see the article.)  What most of the
circuits I've seen in the past do is mix a frequency (usually from a
crystal oscillator, sometimes from a LC oscillator) with the shortwave signal
from your antenna.  The difference between the converter's oscillator's
frequencey and shortwave frequency lands somewhere in the AM band, which is
then tuned by your car radio.  The circuit I built in Junior High mixed
5.9-6.5 MHz (shortwave) to 900kHz-1.6MHz (AM) and used a single transistor
as a combined oscillator/mixer.  Mine used a crystal oscillator.  It worked
pretty well, you could listen to the BBC, Radio Moscow, etc.  The big
problem was that a lot of AM signals still leaked through the mixer and
into the car radio.  A more selective front end would have helped.  And, also
due to the lack of selectivity in the front end, images also existed
(but were not as big as a problem as leak-through.)
	I seem to remember at least one such RE article using the NE602 chip.
This chip seems ridiculously easy to use, but I've heard it suffers easily
from intermod.  (This is from some QST articles.  Lots of QST receivers
in the past year or two have used NE602's as well!)
	Make sure you get an older, preferably AM-only, car radio.  These
were generally built as solid as a rock (if they were original car equipment)
and have wonderful selectivity and sensitivity!  Most modern radios make
absolutely no effort in the AM section, unfortunately.  If the converter
uses a crystal, the stability of the radio+converter setup ought to
be almost exactly as good as the AM radio itself.
	Good luck, and if you have a chance I'd love to know exactly what
the RE plans are!

What a question! Sort of like asking do I get a Hyndai Excel or do I get a 
Porsche.

Some important points to keep in mind:

1. The quality of your antenna will most affect what you can receive.
   i.e. An R8 with a bad antenna will sound as lousy as a 2010 with a 
   bad antenna.

2. You location will also affect your reception. If you are near power lines,
   computers, or any other source of noise or in an apartment you will not get
  those elusive signals either radio is capable of getting. Mostly what you
  will get is noise. 

3. Any good radio will be made better with an rf preamp that can be tuned.
   MFJ and AMECO make ones for about $100. I can recommend both.

4. Any radio works better if you ground it.

Note that I have never been able to get anything except some local 
hams between 2-5mhz in 25 years of swl'ing. I am surrounded by too much noise.

What do you plan to listen to? The 2010 will do just as well as the r8 on 
99% of the broadcast signals and probaly 90% of the utility signals. If you
listen to the BBC etc, the 2010 will do you well. If you are trying to
get "Radio Free Fredonia" with their 5 watt transmiter and heavy jamming,
then the R8 will do better. Will it do 3 times the price better? I doubt
it.

My recomendation is to get a 2010 and a good antenna. If you can't use
a good antenna, buy an MFJ or similar pre-amp and use what you can.

If the 2010 does not suit your needs then sell it and buy the R8. IMHO
you won't.


Disclaimer: I am a radio "junkie". I would buy the r8, well no, I would buy
            an NRD535. But from my experience the 2010 is about the most radio
            for the money. After that you get better, but the amount of better
            per dollar is very small.

I am looking for a diagram to build a AM demodulator that will work with
JVFAX or WEFAX/GOES software.

Is the "Communications World" magazine being referred to the same
"Communications World" magazine that I used to read in the mid to
late 70's?  As I remember, it was published 2-3 times a year.  I
sure did enjoy that magazine back then!

If it is indeed the same magazine, when did they begin publishing
it again?  I haven't seen it at EEB nor have I seen advertisements
for it anywhere...Where can I obtain this magazine?

Maybe this question is more appropriate to talk.politics.misc, but I've
noticed that technical people in general, hams in particular, have a
strong tendency toward libertarian and related political viewpoints.
The Liberty Lobby station and Brother Stair increase this impression.
I'm curious about what the link is between these traits.
