Shortwave Great in Manhattan
So I've been in Manhattan for 2 weeks and I'm very pleased (and
surprised) to say that the shortwave is great compared to what I receive in L.A.! Using Sony ICF-7600gr and Sony AN-LP1 in window. Russia loud and clear, BBC Caribbean and Africa, Radio Prague, China Radio International, etc. etc. Great! |

Actually,propagation was not quite normal last night. It has improved
gradually in the last 24 hours.Do you use AC adapter or batteries? I stopped using AC a while ago due to very loud interference on pwer lines here in NYC. Current receiver in operation is Palstar R30cc +RF Systems MLB +20 ft random wire. |

New York City is within range of European stations; not to mention Caribbean relays and Sackville. In Los Angeles, we have our best shortwave listening in the early morning (local) when Asia comes in from the West. What those pinheads at WRTH call shortwave primetime is very disappointing out west. |

You can probably get the best accessible reception either out on the piers near the 72nd street boat basin; or the Trump Pier slightly south of that; - nice little cafe up at 72nd st. Boat basin, BTW; open if the temperatures above 60. or out in the parks.. Central park is probably OK to go into at night ( IN A GROUP ! ! ! ) onto The Great Lawn near the Metropolitan Museum , but you can pick up some faint signals in the early A.M.even just walking down the east / west streets with a portable, listening on headphones or ear buds For a city, reception just ain't all that bad in NYC |

What those pinheads at WRTH call shortwave primetime is very disappointing out west. East coast and central USA are directly targeted by Europe and those signals are much weaker in the Western USA. West coast does better with Australia and New Zealand and other Pacific rim countries. I also do well here with central, south American, and Caribbean stations. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Strong strong signal; discussion of giving Guns & pepper spray to Australian Policemen. |
