Hello - One and All,
* * * IT"S SOAP BOX TIME * * *
It is nice to Read All of Your Shortwave Reception Reports  )
And I Am A "KNOB SPINNER" - So "When I Read The Reports"
I usually 'Tune' a Shortwave Radio and try and see if I can Hear
what you have Heard Too - Right 'here' in the SF Bay Area )
IMHO - It Would Be Nice - It Is Good Form to Give a
" POINT - OF - REFERENCE " !
Posting Shortwave Reception Reports to the NewsGroup
? WHO You Heard ?
- ID of Station /Broadcaster
- Maybe Program Content (What?)
- Frequency(s) ? in kHz -or- MHz
? When You Heard It ? { Time Heard ? UTC = GMT }
? Quality of Signal { S-Units / RST Report / SINPO Code }
? Where You Are ? { Point-of-Reference }
+ What Radio / Receiver was Used ?
+ How ? = What Antenna Used ?
