It's like that here in SC with the WHRI transmitters... not real far

I can't get KVOH, about 20 miles away. Could never hear Delano, either.

Can't say I'm familiar with the reception of KVOH,
maybe when I'm in the mood for some mind rot I'll try to tune them in,
but the VOA in Delano never came in as good as Bethany.
Maybe those Sterbas were oriented away from SoCal
so as to emphasize the polar path?


KVOH is even aimed in my direction...

That's because of the skip zones of HF frequencies. Unlike BCB, there is
very little ground wave on most of HF, it's all skywave, and the skip zone

I am
- less than 100 miles from anywhere they could be, probably less than

GSM you may be less-than a 100 Miles from the
Transmitters - but the Mossad is said to be everywhere . . .

Yeah when "Radio Marti" was broadcast

in the Gold Country.

Nothing strange about it. As you might have heard, English and French
are both official languages of Canada, and since CHU is a service
operated by a Canadian federal government agency, it must therefore
provide that service in both official languages.

First, a big BUMP to all of you'z.

Folks I just ran into this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_line_communication
and I wonder if it could be the reason why most of my SW bands sound
like snow - day and night. Apparently it uses frequencies that
overlap extensively with traditional SW bands. Also, I happen to live
less than 50 feet from telephone poles/lines.

Shall I go out in the middle of a state forest and see what SW I pick
up?

I don't know about the powerline communication, but there is all kind of
RF noise in the house and city. I like to take my SW100 on hikes into the
local mountains (when they are not burning) and enjoy the much quieter
background.

Acc to *http://www.dxinfocentre.com/time.htm, I should be able to
pick up time signals at at least SOME of those shortwave frequencies.

ATA from India has been off now for some time and EBC from Spain has been off
for a while, but perhaps only temporarily.

There were of course many others which are now no longer on the air.

I've got that "Buzz Aldrin" edition G6 - is that a real Grundig?

Best tuner in the house, for sure!

But my real concern is that I know I can get the time signals on the
internet or phone, but aren't they delayed compared to getting them
straight off the shortwave?

I was just curious, because when I set all my watches to within a

peoples houses to see just how all over the place the time is set!
Even WABC 770 in NY, consistently when a news caster(Charles McCord,
Bruce Anderson, or Jen Nitosso) states the time it's at least
30seconds behind the time on my watch! *What radio station is more
than 10 sec off, let alone over half a minute?


Same here. I listen to WCBS 880 in the morning while having breakfast.
At the top of the hour, they announce, "The time is 6:00 a.m." and
there is a beep. But it is consistently slow by about 7 seconds.

Obviously, they are on a delay. But when you sound a beep, it ought to
be accurate! Maybe not a big deal but this is the flagship station of
the CBS network (50,000 watts clear channel).

I thought my watch was going bad as I had just set it to WWV!
