Default More tests on the $9.95 B & H

More tests on the $9.95 B & H

I tried out listening to Two Very far away stations,
simultaneously, with the B & H and the R-75.

With a 40 foot antenna hooked onto the B & H 9 band, and
lots of twiddling on the tuning knob,
I was able to
pick up 9.580 ( radio Australia) from the U.S East Coast.

True, I can hear several other stations murmering in the background,
Specifically 9.801 ( Used the R-75 to check this out)

tuning display on the B & H is somewhat innacurate,
& needs fiddling with every few minutes to keep it on frequency.

But Radio Autralia does come in on this set! 10,000 miles away.
Not bad..

Tried 17.675 ( Radio New Zealand) last night.
Picked it up following procedure above.

for $9.95, not a bad little set !
