The easiest Mexican station that can be heard onb Shortwave in the
Dallas Area is Radio Educacion on 6185. They come in when the 49 mb
opens up in the evenings and can be heard until the 49 mb closes in the
morning hours.
This station can also be heard on the MW at 1060.
XEWW can also be heard from time to time on 15170 and/or 6160 in the
mornings locally in Dallas. This can be heard in parrell with XEW 900.

Greetings. I'd like to buy a small portable digital SW receiver.
My interest is to listen to SW stations from Ontario, Europe & South
America.  I've seen a Casio PR100 in J&R (NYC) at $45, as well as a
Sangean ATS-800 for $100. Assuming I buy a whip antena at Radio Shack,
would either of these be able to get the CBC & Spanish Foreign Radio?
Is there a measure of a SW radio's reception strength? Which radios under
$100 would you recommend? Please post your replies. Thank you.

PS: As expected, no SW stations can be received inside electronics stores;
we can't "test" a radio's SW reception before we buy it.

Just about *any* radio that has a decent SSB detector and filter
can do exalted carrier reception.  All it is  is when the filter
knocks out the signal's carrier and replaces it with the BFO 
carrier.

Synchronous detectors are something else again.  You can either go
with the JRC NRD-535 ($$$$) or get a Lowe HF-225/235 for half the
cost if you want  a radio with it built in.

Sherwood engineering (Denver, CO) makes external synchronous detectors
for Drake R-4, R-7, and JRC NRD-525 receivers, and there are ads in
the September 1992 QST for synchronous detector kits for less than
$200.  They can be added to any radio with a 50 KHz or 455 KHz IF.

Here is some additional info about Lowe.  I think this may be of interest to
many dx'ers and swl's, as well as radio amateurs.

The European DX-Council had its 26th meeting here in Tampere during August
21-24.  Lowe electronics had their own exhibition at the conference.  I was
told that Lowe planned to introduce a brand new model at EDXC-1992.  This
should be a more sophisticated receiver than HF-225 and, according to the
factory, it should be even better than Icom R71 or NRD-525/535.  This means
that the new Lowe must have at least 0,1 kHz frequency accuracy, PBT and notch
+crystal if-filters etc. (HF-225 is 1 kHz accuracy, no PBT or notch, only
cheap ceramic filters used etc.)

Because of reasons unknown to me this new receiver was not introduced at
EDXC-1992.  However, I believe this new Lowe is worth waiting, if it is as
good as HF-225 in its price group.

To North American BBC listeners:

With the demise of London Calling and the inception of the overpriced
BBC Worldwide, whch will contain a lot of other information of no
use to shortwave listeners, and thus not be worth the cost to subscribe,
I encourage all subscribers to Monitoring Times to ask that magazine to
begin to include a two-page monthly spread containing a full BBC World
Service shortwave program schedule. 

Right now, only a limited subset of BBC program listings are carried in
that magazine's shortwave-schedule section. They could drop those, using
the space saved to list other stations' programs, and reproduce the
BBC's "At A Glance" summary schedule for the entire week on two pages
of the magazine. True, it won't have the program details carried in
London Calling, but at least there will be a source for the full
schedule listing the program names, which is better than nothing.

If Popular Communications' leadtime will permit it, it would also be a
great thing for that magazine to put this same data in its heavier-paper
"centerspread" pages, which are now wasted on a random assortment
of reported loggings, too far out-of-date to be of any value.

I will be in New York during the Labour day long weekend and I thought that this
might be a good opportunity for me to pick up a portable SW radio at prices 
cheaper than I could expect to pay in Canada. Specifically, I was wondering how 
reputable the stores along 14th Street and around Union Sq. are for SW radios. I
bought my TV at one of these stores about 4 years ago when I was living on 
assignment in the NYC Metro area, and I am still quite happy with the TV and the
price that I paid for it.

So what is the net's opinion? Should I venture down to 14th and bargain for a 
good price or should I stick to the more well-known mid-town stores?

The best solution to such a problem is a low-pass filter if the
offending station is FM. You want to block signals ABOVE 30 MHz (FM is
88-108) and pass signals BELOW 30 MHz, ie the shortwave spectrum.

On the other hand, if the interfering station is an AM station, you want
a HIGH pass filter that will block signals BELOW 2 or 3 MHz and pass
signals ABOVE that range. This cuts out the AM broadcastband, which is
about .53 to 1.62 MHz.

If the interference is not too severe, the antenna tuner may help.
Sometimes with a portable, the best solution is to shorten the whip
antenna until the interference goes away. Active antennas are usually
very prone to the same kind of overloading interference that your friend
is experiencing now, because they attempt to highly amplify a broad band
of signals. The amplifier overloads, causing the strong signal to create
garbage all over the spectrum. What you want to do is reduce the
interference BEFORE it reaches any amplifier, be it in the radio or in
an active antenna.

A braodcast station at 200 meters distance? It's going to be difficult.
You may need both a filter and a tuner: perhaps a center-fed dipole fed
with TV twinlead and tuned with a ham-type antenna tuner for balanced
line, and with a low or high pass filter in the feedline. I suggest
contacting a local ham operator, and arranging to borrow a filter or
tuner and seeing what works. It could get expensive otherwise.

Article-I.D.: ucbvax.9208311425.AA02345

Is anyone out there up-to-date on just what WRNO's current situation is?
Did Hurricane Andrew damage or destroy some of their antennas? I ask this
because I have not been able to pick up WRNO on 15420 kHz since the storm.
However, I seldom listened to them on that frequency before, so I have
little to compare with. I am speculating that their 15 MHz antenna is
down or unusable at the moment, and I have a vague recollection of
hearing some report of that, but cannot recall just where, or any detail.

Anyway, this weekend, I tried to listen to World of Radio on WRNO at
2200 Saturday on 15420 kHz. There was no sign of any signal there at
all. (I'm in St. Louis, MO, by the way.) Later on, I happened to tune in
WRNO at about 2328 UTC on 7355 and came in on the middle of an
unscheduled-time broadcast of World of Radio, which appeared to have
begun about 2315 UTC. This was a fine strong signal. Later on, WRNO
seemed to have their regular Saturday-night programming on 7355,
including World of Radio at 0200 UTC Sunday. In this program, Hauser
discussed hurricane damage and DXing stations in the affected areas 
during the storm, but thre was no mention of damage to WRNO that I recall.

I also tried tuning WRNO on 15420 during the day Sunday but detected no
signal. So I wonder if they are off the air during the times they had
been on 15420. Any facts on the matter will be appreciated!

I wonder if whoever told you this had in mind a broadcast (unlikely)
