I take the time to post dx logs, and they're ignored, except by Tebo who
corrects one of my assumptions. But people who post off topic get
zillions of responses, most of them childish insults from the likes of
Ace. David never lacks for attention. But my logs? ZZZZZZZZ
(apparently)
Is this REALLY a shortwave radio group? Or just another place for
people
to insult each other and act passive aggressive?




I used to post my "speed logs" all the time... For the most part, there
was
nothing all too interesting about my speed logs because I was just
listing
the "big boys"... No surprises.... Ya know ??? So... For now, I only post
the odd stuff I come across... Problem is, I cant hardly ID all the odd
stuff... I'm always picking up stuff from Central and South America that
I
cant ID using the lists I have... Especially between 7:00 and 10:00 UTC.
Great time to hear all sorts of odd stuff here... Problem is....When I
ask
for help or info ID'ing a questionable signal, I get some arrogant self
important DX JACK-ASS telling me to learn how to use my radio....

Actually, if a signal isn't beamed to my area I consider it to be DX.
Even if it is VOA. I hear a lot of Asian domestic SW from here in
California, and rely on the lists to tell me what I'm listening to
because I can't decipher Chinese much less Laotian (the Radio Free Asia
log I had). I AM disappointed that I can't seem to hear anything from
the Middle East here, considering how "hot" that region is in political
terms. I used to be able to hear morning prayers and Quran readings live
from Saudi Arabia on 15170 after 0300, but not now. I've NEVER heard
Iran in English, which I'd like to (my only log of them is in Farsi).

I used to hear VOIRI in English regularly. I don't remember the time slot,
but I think it was either 6:30 PM EST or 7:30 PM EST. I remember that
because that was when I got home from work at night and it was always on. It
was about three or four years ago. For what ever reason, if I what I heard
was what I thought was what I heard, they switched from English to Spanish
for that time slot and I gave up on it. From what I remember, It was a
heavy duty propaganda rag.... I'm sure there is some one here that knows
the exact time slot I'm talking about and whey they Switched to Spanish and
why...
