rankings of international broadcasters (chime in everyone)
I would rate the international broadcasters as follows, based on
reception quality and quality of sound. Everyone else chime in: 1. Radio Netherlands 2. CRI 3. Radio Australia 4. RNZI 5. BBC not ranked: Deutsche Welle: A non-entity on radio these days, has pulled back too much transmissions. Voice of Russia: Broadcasts, but reception is absolutely terrible, and their audio equalization has too much bass such that even when reception is good, it is difficult to clearly understand. |

I get them all just fine on the Sirius. I like to listen to the Coast Guard on the HF. |

I rank Radio Australia and the BBC equally, with the Netherlands a very close second. I have to admit I haven't listen to RNZI much. |

They used to tell it like it is but now they are totally dishonest these days so I don't listen to them. 12. There has to be at least 1,000,000 Chinese domestics and music jammers. There is no avoiding them. 13. DPRK. They still tell it like it is from their very unique point of view. 14. There is more. I like the sound of the Russians with their retro audio and transmitter artifacts and hum. They still sound like the good old days. You should be able to get them OK. You must need some antenna work. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

If you look at 140 (next door to the BBC World Service News-141) you'll see the World Radio Network. www.wrn.org I see. So you get bits and pieces of these shortwave services. Looks like fun. Sirius has much better NPR coverage than XM, but I picked XM for Air America. Fortunately, most places I visit have NPR FM so I can get All Things Considered on the road. |

Also Artie calling out CQ CQ. |
