Help! I can't get many shortwave stations!
Hi. I own a new, Sony icf7600GR, delivered yesterday. I am brand new
to shortwave radio. I have printed out the Prime Time Shortwave listings of English speaking shortwave broadcasts to America. After noting the difference between the UTC time and my time, I tried finding broadcasts. Out of approximately 12, I could only get about 3. Is this par for the course? I had the antenna fully extended near my window. I tried the reel antenna but it did not make much of a difference. Can you offer any tips and advice? I'd prefer not to buy an expensive, optional antenna right now, I want to make do with the whip and reel. |
