The BBC in the car?
I borrowed a Sirius receiver from my employer for a holiday trip from
Toronto to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a distance of some 1600 km (1000
miles) each way, roughly 35 hours on the road, and enjoyed listening
alternately to CBC Radio One on Sirius 137 and BBCWS on Sirius 141. It was
pretty much uninterrupted, except for the tunnels through the Blue Ridge
Mountains. While the audio quality sucked at the low bitrates used, I was
surprised at how much the distortion was masked by car noise and how
accustomed I became.
Now to keep dxAce from complaining that this is not a posting about
shortwave, I took my KA-1103 along with every intention of doing some SWL -
never turned it on! Seems to me that alternatives to shortwave as a means of
delivery are legitimate topics for rrs, since so many users of shortwave are
migrating to other means of communication. ;-)
Fine I'll answer for him. This is not about short wave and it doesn't
belong in this new group. If I want to read about "other means of
communication" I'll join another news group.
